Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Air Travel 
Abstract: The Department is proposing to amend its rules implementing the Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 concerning requirements for movable aisle armrests. The amendment would clarify the application of the movable armrest requirement to all classes of service in an aircraft. In addition, in response to changed practices in parts of the airline industry, the Department is proposing to require preboarding to be made available for passengers with disabilities.
