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. |

Final Rule: Publication Date 03/16/2000; End of Comment Period 05/15/2000. |

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 January 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. |

Abstract: In response to a report by the
Inspector General of the Department of Transportation, the Department is
asking for comments on two issues relating to air carrier continuing fitness
determinations involving citizenship issues. First, the Inspector General
identified a list of criteria the Department typically uses to determine
actual control of an air carrier when evaluating the citizenship of an air
carrier during a continuing fitness review. The Department is seeking comment
on whether there are any other factors or criteria the Department routinely
considers in its evaluations that should be added to this list. Second, the
Department seeks comments on the need for a regulatory change to the
requirements of 14 CFR part 204 applicable to certificated and commuter air
carriers proposing to undergo a substantial change in operations, ownership,
or management that may impact their U.S. citizenship status. The Inspector
General found that the Department's informal process is not well-suited to
complex, contentious, and controversial cases involving citizenship
determinations and suggested that the Department allow greater transparency
and public participation in such matters, including public notice when such a
review is initiated and completed, as well as public access to information
filed with the Department during such reviews. |
