        <RULE_TITLE>Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would propose to enhance airline passenger protections in the following ways:  (1) require carriers to adopt contingency plans for lengthy tarmac delays and to incorporate these plans in their contracts of carriage, (2) require carriers to respond to consumer problems, (3) declare the operation of flights that remain chronically delayed to be an unfair and deceptive practice and an unfair method of competition, (4) require carriers to publish delay data on their websites, and (5) require carriers to adopt customer service plans, incorporate these in their contracts of carriage, and audit their adherence to their plans.]]></ABSTRACT>
