        <RULE_TITLE>Disclosure of Change-of-Gauge Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To ensure that consumers are given pertinent information on the nature of change-of-gauge services, the Department is proposing to codify and augment its current disclosure requirements for itineraries with one flight number that involve a change of aircraft. The Department requested comments on the following three proposed requirements, which would apply to U.S. air carriers, foreign air carriers, and, where appropriate, ticket agents (including travel agents) doing business in the United States: (1) that transporting carriers include notice of aircraft changes in their written or electronic schedule information provided to the public, in the Official Airline Guide, and in computer reservation systems; (2) that consumers be given reasonable and timely notice before they book transportation that a particular service with a single flight number entails a change of aircraft en route, and (3) that written notice of the aircraft change be provided on or with each ticket for such service. This proposal, in part, responds to the petition of American Airlines in Docket 47546 to ban the practice of "funnel flights." The Department intends also to address the complaints of TACA International Airlines, Aviateca, and Nicaraguense de Aviacion (NICA) in Dockets 49511, 49512, and 49513, respectively, against Continental Airlines for operating funnel flights.]]></ABSTRACT>
