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. This rule has a regulatory sunset date of
1/31/04. |

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:
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. |

Abstract:
The rule would protect the confidentiality of SSI relating to maritime security
measures adopted by the Coast Guard under the Maritime Transportation
Security Act. The rule would prohibit unauthorized disclosures and impose
civil penalties for violations. Under the rule, the Transportation Security
Administration designates what information is SSI. |
