DOT/OST RIN: 2105-AE47 Publication ID: Fall 2016 
Title: ●Tarmac Delay Records and Comfortable Cabin Temp 
Abstract:

This rulemaking would consider whether to require covered air carriers to keep and maintain records documenting when they: (1) notify passengers about the status of a flight delay; (2) notify passengers when they have the opportunity to deplane if such an opportunity is available; and (3) provide food and water to passengers. In addition, this rulemaking would explore what constitutes a "comfortable" cabin temperature inside an aircraft when passengers do not have an opportunity to deplane and whether to impose a requirement that covered carriers maintain a comfortable cabin temperature at all times when passengers do not have an opportunity to deplane.
