Abstract:
The Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections Rule and the Tarmac Delay Rule, as amended, require the following paperwork requirements for each covered carrier: (1) posting of tarmac delay plans, customer service plans, and contracts of carriage on carrier Web sites, (2) submission of a narrative report regarding tarmac delays that last over three hours for domestic flights and four hours for international flights, (3) adoption and audit of customer service plans and retention of results, (4) display of on-time performance data on carrier Web sites, and (5) submission of a data report for tarmac delays that last over three hours for domestic flights and four hours for international flights. The information collection furthers the objectives of 49 U.S.C. ยงยง 41712, 40101(a)(4), 40101(a)(9), 41702, and 42301 to protect consumers from unfair or deceptive practices, to ensure safe and adequate service in air transportation, and to protect consumers from excessive tarmac delays. The regulation also supports the Department of Transportation's (Department) strategic goal of global connectivity by reducing barriers to trade and enhancing competition.
