View Rule

This rulemaking would amend 14 CFR part 382 (part 382) by including subpart I (14 CFR 382.121-382.133) in the list of subparts with which a U.S. carrier must comply with respect to passengers traveling under its code on flights operated by a foreign carrier between two foreign points. This rulemaking would also amend part 382 to eliminate the labeling requirements for FAA-approved portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) and specify that ventilators, respirators, and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines must be allowed for use in the passenger cabin as long as they comply with applicable safety, security, and hazardous materials rules. In addition, this rule would amend the provision in part 382 that allows carriers to require a passenger who wishes to use an FAA-approved portable oxygen concentrator in the aircraft cabin to provide a medical certificate dated within 10 days of the passenger´s initial flight. Since the conclusion of the FAA rulemaking on POC criteria is a precondition for the Department to move forward with amending its requirements regarding POCs in part 382, and the date for the issuance of the FAA final rule is undetermined, we have decided to terminate this rulemaking. It will not appear in the next Internet report on significant rules.
