Title: Carrier-Supplied Medical Oxygen, Accessible In-Flight Entertainment Systems, Service Animals, and Accessible Lavatories on Single-Aisle Aircraft | |
Abstract: This is the second of two supplemental notices of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to follow-up on air travel accessibility issues discussed in the preamble of the 2008 final Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) rule but deferred for final decision to a later rulemaking. (The first SNPRM is RIN 2105-AD96.) This rulemaking action would consider (1) whether there are safety-related reasons for excluding service animals other than dogs that may be specific to foreign carriers; (2) whether carriers should be required to supply in-flight medical oxygen for a fee to passengers who require it to access air transportation; (3) whether providing accessible in-flight entertainment to passengers with disabilities is technically and economically feasible; (4) whether certain changes should be made to provisions allowing carriers to require medical documentation and 48 hours advance notice from users of emotional support and psychiatric service animals; and (5) whether carriers should be required to report to the Department annually the number of requests for wheelchair assistance they receive. The rulemaking would also seek public comment on the feasibility of requiring accessible lavatories on certain single-aisle aircraft, expanding the applicability of certain required seating accommodations, and clarifications of certain requirements pertaining to the carriage of service animals. | |
