Abstract: The Department's Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) final rule, published September 6, 1991, reserved
portions of the rule concerning passenger vessels. The ADA covers passenger
vessels, but issuing accessibility requirements for vessels involves complex
issues unlike those affecting land transportation. This rulemaking would
address these issues and propose feasible requirements to make passenger
vessels accessible to, and usable by, individuals with disabilities. Timing
of this rulemaking is dependent on action by the Architectural and
Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) to adopt
accessibility guidelines for passenger vessels. The Access Board has advised
DOT that its guidelines on passenger vessels will be delayed, at least
through 2004, as it completes other, higher priorities. |

Abstract: This rulemaking requested information
concerning operational and cost issues related to U.S. air carriers
collecting basic information (e.g., full name, date of birth and/or social
security number, emergency contact and telephone number) from passengers
traveling on flights within the United States. This rulemaking responds to
difficulties with notification in the aftermath of domestic aviation crashes,
would implement new requirements for family assistance, and would fulfill a
recommendation contained in the final report of the White House Commission on
Aviation Safety and Security that urges the Department to explore immediately
the costs and effects of a comprehensive passenger manifest requirement on
the domestic aviation system. |

Abstract: This rulemaking will determine
whether DOT should continue or modify its existing rules governing airline
computer reservations systems (CRSs). Among other things, this rulemaking
will address the impact of changes to the industry and consider whether to
adopt rules governing the use of the Internet for airline distribution. |

Abstract: This rulemaking requested public
comments from reporting carriers and aviation data users on the nature,
scope, source, and means for collecting, processing, and distributing airline
traffic, fare, and financial data. Specifically, it invited comments on whether
existing airline traffic, fare, and financial data should be amended,
supplemented, or replaced; whether selected forms and reports should be
retained, modified, or eliminated; whether the Department should require all
aviation data to be filed electronically; and how the aviation data system
should be reengineered to enhance efficiency and to reduce costs for both the
Department and the airline industry. |

Abstract: This action implemented changes
to OMB Circular A-110 that were issued by OMB on October 8, 1999, providing
uniform guidance for administering grants to institutions of higher
education, hospitals, and other nonprofit organizations. The change provides
guidance on making data produced under awards available to the public. The
regulation is essentially a word-for-word issuance of the requirements in OMB
Circular A-110. An Interim Final Rule was issued because of the limited
ability to change the requirements from those in the Circular. We are
awaiting guidance from OMB as to what, if any, changes are needed in the
government-wide common final rule. |

Abstract: This rulemaking would amend DOT's
rules governing airline computer reservations systems (CRS's) by changing the
rules' expiration date from March 31, 2003, to March 31, 2004. If we do not
revise the expiration date, the rules will terminate on March 31, 2003,
before we complete our reexamination of the need for CRS regulations. We
believe that the current rules should be maintained because they appear to be
necessary for promoting airline competition and helping to ensure that
consumers and their travel agents can obtain complete and accurate
information on airline services. The Department has previously extended the
rules from their original December 31, 1997, expiration date, most recently
to March 31, 2003. |
