View Rule

This rulemaking would explore whether the Department's regulations concerning the collection of Origin-Destination Survey of Airline Passengers should be modified, streamlined, expanded, or repealed. The rulemaking would address significant changes in industry practice and technology since the original data collection methodology was developed in the 1960s. The rulemaking would update the data collection methodology to simplify the reporting rules, relieve small entities from the burden of reporting, and improve data accuracy, representativeness, and utility for all data users, including the reporting airlines. The Department anticipates substantial benefits to users of the data.
