FOREIGN CARRIER EXEMPTION CONDITIONS
                              ATTACHMENT

In the conduct of the operations authorized, the foreign carrier
applicant(s) shall:

1) Not conduct any operations unless it holds a currently effective
authorization from its homeland for such operations, and it has filed a
copy of such authorization with the Department;

2) Comply with all applicable requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration, including, but not limited to, 14 CFR Parts 129, 91, and
36, and with all applicable U.S. Government requirements concerning
security, including, but not limited to, 49 CFR Part 1546 or 1550, as
applicable.  To assure compliance with all applicable U.S. Government
requirements concerning security, the holder shall, before commencing
any new service (including charter flights) from a foreign airport that
would be the holder’s last point of departure for the United States,
contact its International Principal Security Inspector (IPSI) to advise
the IPSI of its plans and to find out whether the Transportation
Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to
allow such airport(s) to be served;

3) Comply with the requirements for minimum insurance coverage contained
in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any operations
under this authority, file evidence of such coverage, in the form of a
completed OST Form 6411, with the Federal Aviation Administration’s
Program Management Branch (AFS-260), Flight Standards Service (any
changes to, or termination of, insurance also shall be filed with that
office);

4) Not operate aircraft under this authority unless it complies with
operational safety requirements at least equivalent to Annex 6 of the
Chicago Convention;

5) Conform to the airworthiness and airman competency requirements of
its Government for international air services;

6) Except as specifically exempted or otherwise provided for in a
Department Order, comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 203,
concerning waiver of Warsaw Convention liability limits and defenses;

7) Agree that operations under this authority constitute a waiver of
sovereign immunity, for the purposes of 28 U.S.C. 1605(a), but only with
respect to those actions or proceedings instituted against it in any
court or other tribunal in the United States that are: a) based on its
operations in international air transportation that, according to the
contract of carriage, include a point in the United States as a point of
origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place, or for which the
contract of carriage was purchased in the United States; or b) based on
a claim under any international agreement or treaty cognizable in any
court or other tribunal of the United States.  In this condition, the
term “international air transportation” means “international
transportation” as defined by the Warsaw Convention, except that all
States shall be considered to be High Contracting Parties for the
purpose of this definition;

8) Except as specifically authorized by the Department, originate or
terminate all flights to/from the United States in its homeland;

9) Comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 217, concerning the
reporting of scheduled, nonscheduled, and charter data;

10) If charter operations are authorized, except as otherwise provided
in the applicable aviation agreement, comply with the Department’s
rules governing charters (including 14 CFR Parts 212 and 380); and

11) Comply with such other reasonable terms, conditions, and limitations
required by the public interest as may be prescribed by the Department,
with all applicable orders or regulations of other U.S. agencies and
courts, and with all applicable laws of the United States.

This authority shall not be effective during any period when the holder
is not in compliance with the conditions imposed above.  Moreover, this
authority cannot be sold or otherwise transferred without explicit
Department approval under Title 49 of the U.S. Code.

5/2004

 Mexicana’s April 1 application requested authority between Leon and
Morelia, Mexico on the one hand, and Las Vegas, Nevada, on the other
hand.  The applicant subsequently provided informal clarification that
it was seeking coterminal authority for the two Mexican points.

Dan, Charlie did not say in his pleading that these are coterminal
points, meaning that they are interchangeable in the order of flight,
but the “on the one hand” language usually indicates such intent.  I
would double check with George, but I would think that we should mention
that they are coterminals, for specificity’s sake.  Otherwise, I would
add the “on the one hand” language.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 777-200 and -300 series airplanes. This AD was
prompted by reports of fatigue cracks in the lap joints, which
initiated at scribe lines that were made during production when maskant
was removed from the affected skin panels during the chemical milling
process. This AD requires repetitive external phased-array ultrasonic
inspections to detect cracks of the affected fuselage skin lap splices
in Sections 41, 43, and 44, as applicable, and repair if necessary. We
are issuing

this AD to detect and correct such fatigue cracking, which could grow
large and cause sudden decompression and the inability to sustain limit
flight and pressure loads.

DATES: This AD is effective August 27, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of August 27,
2012.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact
Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Attention: Data & Services Management,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM published in the Federal Register on February 22, 2012 (77 FR
10411). That NPRM proposed to require repetitive external phased-array
ultrasonic inspections to detect cracks of the affected fuselage skin
lap splices in Sections 41, 43, and 44, as applicable, and repair if
necessary.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
(77 FR 10411, February 22, 2012) and the FAA's response to each
comment.

Request To Allow Certain Repairs

    Boeing requested we add additional text to the end of paragraph
(h)(2) of the NPRM (77 FR 10411, February 22, 2012) stating ``* * *
unless all cracked material has been completely removed and the repair
is a reinforcing repair that has been FAA approved to [Federal Aviation
Regulations] 14 CFR 25.571 and 14 CFR 26.43 (c) or (d).'' Boeing stated
that reinforcing repairs which are FAA approved to 14 CFR 25.571 at the
certification basis for the subject Model 777 airplanes and 14 CFR
26.43(c) or (d) must have been evaluated for damage tolerance, and
would have the damage tolerance inspection requirements in place in
order to maintain the safety of the airplane at the repaired area.
Boeing asserted that the requirement to obtain an alternative method of
compliance (AMOC) approval for such repairs would therefore not be
required to ensure the safety of the repaired airplane.
    We disagree. The change proposed by Boeing would only require
compliance for two certain regulations and would not require other
necessary regulatory standards. The requirements defined in the
existing AMOC delegation authority include other FAA regulations and
manufacturer's design considerations beyond those listed on the
airplane type certificate data sheet. We have not changed the final
rule in this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 46 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.

                                    $10,710 per
                                    inspection cycle.
Inspections for Group 2 airplanes  50 work-hours x $85               0  $4,250 per           $89,250 per
 (21 airplanes).                    per hour = $4,250                    inspection cycle.    inspection cycle.
                                    per inspection
                                    cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     We have received no definitive data that would enable us to
provide cost estimates for the on-condition repair.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.

    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the

If any crack is found, before further flight, repair in accordance
with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 777-53A0043, dated November 9, 2011; except as required by
paragraph (h)(2) of this AD. Repeat the inspections of unrepaired
areas thereafter at intervals not to exceed 4,200 flight cycles.

(h) Exception to Service Information

    (1) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0043, dated
November 9, 2011, specifies a compliance time ``after the original
issue date on this service bulletin,'' this AD requires compliance
within the specified compliance time after the effective date of
this AD.
    (2) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0043, dated
November 9, 2011, specifies that ``other approved methods'' may be

If your carrier does not provide advance seat assignments,
passengers who identify themselves as passengers with a disability
in need of a seating accommodation must be allowed to pre-board
before all other passengers, including other passengers entitled to
pre-board, and select the seat assignment that best meets their
needs. (Sec. Sec.  382.83(c) and 382.85(b)). You should note that
your carrier must offer preboarding to passengers with a disability
who self-identify at the gate as needing additional time or
assistance. (Sec.  382.93(c)).
    Your carrier is not required to provide more than one seat per
ticket or a seat in a class of service other than the one the
passenger has purchased to accommodate a passenger with a disability
in need of a seat assignment to accommodate his or her disability.
(Sec.  382.87(f)).
    Your carrier must comply with all FAA and applicable foreign
government safety requirements, including exit-seating requirements,
when responding to requests from passengers with a disability for
seating accommodations. (Sec.  382.87(b)).
    See Chapter 5, Section B, Seating Assignments and
Accommodations, for more information on this topic.

Security Screenings

    You should be aware that all passengers including those with
disabilities are subject to TSA security screening requirements at
U.S. airports. Passengers at foreign airports, including those with
disabilities, may be subject to security screening measures required
by the law of the country where the airport is located. (Sec.
382.55(a)).
    If your carrier wants to go beyond mandated security screening
procedures, it must conduct the security screening of a passenger
with a disability in the same manner as any other passenger. (Sec.
382.55(b)).
    See Chapter 4, Section B, Security Screening for Air Travelers
with a Disability.

Services and Equipment

Boarding Assistance in General

    If a passenger with a disability requests assistance getting on
or off an airplane, or your carrier or the airport operator offers
such assistance, and the passenger consents to the type of boarding
or deplaning assistance offered, assistance must be promptly
provided. The type of assistance offered must include the services
of personnel and the use of wheelchairs, accessible motorized carts,
ramps, or mechanical lifts as required under Part 382. (Sec.
382.95(a)).
    You should be aware that a carrier operating aircraft with 19 or
more passenger seats at U.S. commercial service airports with 10,000
or more annual enplanements must provide boarding and deplaning
assistance to passengers with a disability using lifts or ramps if
level-entry loading bridges or accessible passenger boarding lounges
are not

available. (Sec.  382.95(b)). However, boarding assistance using a
lift or other means of level-entry boarding is not required on:
     Aircraft with fewer than 19 passenger seats;
     Float planes;
     The following 19-seat capacity aircraft models that are
unsuitable for boarding assistance using a lift: the Fairchild
Metro, the Jetstream 31 and 32, the Beech 1900 (C and D Models), and
the Embraer EMB-120; or
     Any other aircraft model the DOT determines to be
unsuitable for boarding and deplaning assistance by lift; ramp, or
other suitable device. (Sec.  382.97).
    You should be aware that, although U.S. and foreign carriers
must provide or ensure the provision of boarding and deplaning
assistance at foreign airports on covered flights, level-entry
boarding is not required. However, whenever level-entry boarding and
deplaning assistance is not required, your carrier must still assist
passengers with a disability in boarding and deplaning the aircraft
if any such means is available. (Sec.  382.101).
    Your carrier must train employees in the use of the boarding
assistance equipment and procedures regarding the safety and dignity
of passengers receiving boarding assistance. (Sec.
382.141(a)(1)(iii) and (b)).
    See Chapter 5, Section C, Boarding and Deplaning Assistance, for
more information on this topic. See also Chapter 8: Personnel
Training, for additional information on employee/contractor training
requirements.

Boarding and Deplaning Assistance Agreements With U.S. Airport
Operators

    U.S. and foreign carriers. Your carrier must negotiate in good
faith with the operator of any U.S. commercial airport with 10,000
or more annual enplanements to ensure the provision of lifts for
boarding and deplaning where level-entry loading bridges are not
available. (Sec.  382.99(a)).
    U.S. carriers. Your carrier must have a written, signed
agreement with the airport operator allocating responsibility for
meeting the boarding and deplaning assistance requirements of Part
382, subpart G. (Sec.  382.99(b)).
    Foreign carriers. Your carrier must have a written, signed
agreement with the airport operator allocating responsibility for
meeting the boarding and deplaning assistance requirements of Part
382, Subpart G with respect to all covered aircraft by May 13, 2010.
(Sec.  382.99(b)). Foreign carriers serving a particular airport may
be able to join existing agreements among the airport and U.S.
carriers serving it, rather than establishing a new agreement.
    The written agreement with a U.S. airport must specify that
accessible boarding and deplaning for passengers with a disability
will actually be provided before May 13, 2011. (Sec.  382.99(c)).
    U.S. and foreign carriers. The written agreement may require
passengers who want boarding and deplaning assistance requiring use
of a lift to check in 1 hour before the standard check-in time for
the flight. (Sec.  382.99(d)). You should be aware the agreement
must ensure all lifts and other accessibility equipment are
maintained in working order. (Sec.  382.99(e)).

    Note:  All carriers and airport operators are jointly and
severally (individually) responsible to implement the agreements
completely and in a timely manner. You must make the agreements
available to DOT upon request. (Sec.  382.99(f) and (g)).

Boarding, Deplaning, and Connecting Assistance at Foreign Airports

    You should be aware that at foreign airports where the airport
operator has the responsibility for boarding, deplaning, or
connecting assistance, U.S. and foreign carriers can rely on the
airport operator's services to meet Subpart G of Part 382. (Sec.
382.105). However, if the services provided by the airport operator
are not sufficient to meet these requirements, your carrier must
supplement the airport operator's services. If your carrier believes
it is legally prohibited from supplementing the airport operator's
services, it may apply for a conflict of law waiver under Sec.
382.9.

Storing Wheelchairs and Other Assistive Devices in the Cabin

    Your carrier must allow passengers with a disability to stow the
following mobility aids and assistive devices inside the aircraft
cabin provided they can be stowed consistent with FAA, PHMSA, TSA or
applicable foreign government requirements concerning safety,
security, and hazardous materials:
     Manual wheelchairs, including folding or collapsible
wheelchairs;
     Other mobility aids, such as canes, crutches and
walkers; and
     Other assistive devices for stowage or use in the
cabin, such as prescription medications and the devices needed to
administer them; vision-enhancing devices; and portable oxygen
concentrators (POC), ventilators, and respirators that use
nonspillable batteries if they comply with applicable safety,
security and hazardous materials rules. (Sec.  382.121(a)).

    Note: The requirements concerning the in-flight use of
passenger-supplied electronic devices that assist with respiration
are discussed later in this appendix. (Sec.  382.133).

    Your carrier is not required to permit passengers to bring
electric wheelchairs into the aircraft cabin.
    You should be aware that certain aircraft must have priority
space in the cabin to stow at least one typical adult-sized folding,
collapsible, or break-down manual wheelchair. (Sec.  382.67(a)). See
Chapter 5, Section A, Aircraft Accessibility, for more information
about this requirement, including the aircraft to which it applies.

    Note: Your carrier must not count mobility aids and other
assistive devices brought on board the aircraft by a passenger with
a disability toward the limit for passenger carry-on baggage. (Sec.
382.121(b)).

On-Board Wheelchairs

    When required, on-board wheelchairs must be equipped with
specific features and be designed to be compatible with the
maneuvering space, aisle width, and seat height of the aircraft on
which they are to be used, and to easily be pushed, pulled, and
turned in the cabin environment by carrier personnel. (Sec.
382.65)(c)). See Chapter 5, Section A, Aircraft Accessibility, for
more information about this requirement, including the aircraft to
which it applies.

Wheelchairs Unable To Be Stowed in the Cabin as Carry-On

    Know that your carrier must stow mobility aids, including
wheelchairs, and other assistive devices in the baggage compartment
with priority over other cargo and baggage if an approved stowage
area is not available in the cabin or the items cannot be
transported in the cabin consistent with FAA, PHMSA, TSA, or
applicable foreign government requirements. (Sec.  382.125(a) and
(b)). Except as otherwise provided in Part 382, your carrier may not
charge for facilities, equipment, or services required under Part
382 to be provided to passengers with a disability. Therefore, your
carrier cannot charge for a wheelchair or other mobility or
assistive device that exceeds the weight limit on checked baggage.
(Sec.  382.31(a)) and 382.121(b).
    However, DOT recognizes there may be some circumstances in which
it is not practical to stow an electric wheelchair or some other
assistive device in the baggage compartment, and you are not
required to do so if it would constitute an undue burden. (Sec.
382.13(c)). Only devices that fit and meet all applicable hazardous
materials and other safety regulations need be carried.
    When a passenger's wheelchair, other mobility aids, or other
assistive devices cannot be stowed in the cabin as carry-on baggage,
a carrier must ensure these items are timely checked and returned as
close as possible to the door of the aircraft (unless the passenger
requests the items be returned at the baggage claim area) so that
the passenger with a disability can use his or her own equipment,
where possible, consistent with Federal regulations concerning
transportation security and the transportation of hazardous
materials. (Sec.  382.125(c)(1) and (c)(2)).
    To ensure the timely return of a passenger's wheelchair, other
mobility aids or other assistive devices, they must be among the
first items retrieved from the baggage compartment. (Sec.
382.125(d)).

Battery-Powered Devices

    A carrier must accept a passenger's battery-powered wheelchair
or other similar mobility device, including the battery, as checked
baggage unless baggage compartment size and aircraft airworthiness
considerations prohibit it. (Sec.  382.127(a)).
    Check-in and advance notice requirements (for passengers with
battery-powered mobility devices)
    Aircraft with 60 or more passenger seats. Your carrier may
require that a passenger who wants you to transport his or her
battery-powered wheelchair or similar mobility device check in for
the flight 1 hour before the check-in time for the general public.
However, even if the passenger does not check in within this time,
your carrier must make a reasonable effort to accommodate the
passenger and transport the battery-powered wheelchair or other
similar mobility aid provided it would not delay the flight. (Sec.
382.127(b)).

    Aircraft with fewer than 60 passenger seats. Your carrier may
require that a passenger with a disability provide up to 48 hours'
advance notice and check in 1 hour before the check-in time for the
general public if the passenger wants your carrier to transport his
or her electric (battery-powered) wheelchair. (Sec.  382.27(c)(4)).

Battery Handling (for Wheelchairs, Scooters, and Other Mobility Devices
Using Traditional Spillable or Nonspillable Battery Technology)

    Your carrier must not require that the battery be removed and
separately packaged if the--
     Manufacturer has labeled the battery on a wheelchair or
other similar mobility device as nonspillable, or
     For a spillable battery, the battery-powered wheelchair
can be loaded, stored, secured, and unloaded in an upright position.
    However, your carrier must remove and package separately any
battery that (1) is inadequately secured to a wheelchair or (2) if
the battery is spillable and it is contained in a wheelchair that
cannot be loaded, stowed, secured and unloaded in an upright
position consistent with DOT hazardous materials regulations. A
damaged or leaking battery should not be transported. (Sec.
382.127(c)).
    Finally, your carrier must not disconnect the battery on a
wheelchair or other mobility device if the battery is nonspillable
and it is completely enclosed within a case or compartment integral
to the design of the device unless required to do so under FAA,
PHMSA, or applicable foreign government safety regulations. (Sec.
382.127(e)).
    When it is necessary to detach a battery from a wheelchair or
other mobility device, a carrier must provide packaging for the
battery, if requested, and package the battery consistent with
appropriate hazardous materials regulations. However, your carrier
is not required to use packaging materials or devices you do not
normally use for this purpose. (Sec.  382.127(d)). Your carrier must
not charge for such packaging. (Sec.  382.31(a)). Your carrier also
must not drain batteries. (Sec.  382.127(f)).

Passenger-Supplied Electronic Respiratory Assistive Devices

U.S. Carriers Conducting Passenger Service (Except for On-Demand Air
Taxi Operators)

    You should be aware that, subject to the conditions below, your
carrier must permit a passenger with a disability to use the
following passenger-supplied electronic respiratory assistive
devices in the passenger cabin during all phases of flight on all
aircraft designed with more than 19 passenger seats:
     FAA-approved POC,
     Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines;
     Respirators; and
     Ventilators.
    Your carrier must allow such devices to be used in the cabin
during air transportation if they--
     Meet applicable FAA requirements for medical portable
electronic devices,
     Display a manufacturer's label indicating such
compliance, and
     Can be stowed and used in the cabin consistent with
applicable TSA, FAA, and PHMSA regulations. (Sec.  382.133(a)(1) and
(a)(2)).

Foreign Carriers Conducting Passenger Service (Except Operations
Equivalent to a U.S. Carrier On-Demand Air Taxi Operation)

    A foreign carrier must permit passengers with a disability to
use the electronic respiratory assistive devices listed above (a POC
of a kind equivalent to an FAA-approved POC for U.S. carrier, CPAP
machine, respirator, or ventilator,) in the passenger cabin of
aircraft originally designed with a maximum passenger seating
capacity of more than 19 seats during operations to, from or within
the United States. (Sec.  382.133(b)).
    Your carrier must permit onboard use of such devices if they--
     Meet requirements for medical portable electronic
devices established by your foreign government (or if no such
requirements exist you may apply applicable FAA requirements for
U.S. carriers),
     Have a manufacturer's label indicating such compliance,
and
     The device can be stowed and used in the cabin
consistent with TSA, FAA and PHMSA regulations and the safety and
security regulations of your foreign government. (Sec.
382.133(b)(1) through (b)(3)).
    For more information on this topic see Chapter 5, Section E,
Services and Information Provided in the Cabin. For a discussion
about the specific information your carrier must provide during the
reservation process to a passenger with a disability who wishes to
use a passenger-supplied electronic respiratory assistive device
during a flight see Chapter 3, Section B, Information about the
Aircraft.

Baggage Liability Limits

    On domestic U.S. flights the baggage liability limits (14 CFR
part 254, Domestic Baggage Liability Limits) do not apply to loss,
damage, or delay concerning wheelchairs, other mobility aids, or
other assistive devices. Rather, the basis for calculating the
compensation for lost, damaged, or delayed mobility aids, including
wheelchairs, or other assistive devices must be the original price
of the device. (Sec.  382.131).

    Note: Baggage liability limits for international travel,
including flights of U.S. carriers, are governed by the Montreal
Convention and other international agreements instead of 14 CFR part
254.
    Your carrier also must not require a passenger with a disability
to sign a waiver of liability for damage to or loss of a wheelchair
or other assistive device, although your personnel may make notes
about preexisting damage or conditions of these items to the same
extent you do this for other checked baggage. (Sec.  382.35(b)).

Timely and Complete Access to Information at the Airport

U.S. Carriers

    Your carrier must ensure that passengers who identify themselves
as persons needing visual or hearing assistance receive prompt
access to the same information that you provide to other passengers
at each gate, ticketing area, and customer service desk that you
own, lease, or control at any U.S. or foreign airport. However, your
carrier is not required to provide information if it would interfere
with employee safety and security duties under applicable FAA and
foreign regulations. (Sec.  382.53(a)(1)). This requirement applies
to information on a wide variety of subjects such as flight safety,
ticketing, schedule changes and gate assignments. (Sec.  382.53(b)).

Foreign Carriers

    Foreign carriers must make the same information available to
passengers who identify themselves as needing visual or hearing
assistance at each gate, ticketing area, and customer service desk
that you own, lease, or control at any U.S. airport. At foreign
airports, a foreign carrier must make this information available
only at gates, ticketing areas, or customer service desks that you
own, lease, or control and only for flights that begin or end in the
United States. (Sec.  382.53(a)(2)).
    See Chapter 4, Section D, Accommodations for Air Travelers with
Vision or Hearing Impairments.

Timely and Complete Access to Information on the Aircraft

General Information

    You should be aware that your carrier must ensure that
passengers with a disability who identify themselves as needing
visual or hearing assistance have prompt access to the same
information provided to other passengers on the aircraft. However,
your carrier is not required to provide information if it would
interfere with crewmember safety duties under applicable FAA and
foreign regulations. (Sec.  382.119(a)). This requirement includes
information on a wide variety of subjects such as flight safety,
procedures for takeoff and landing, and flight delays. (Sec.
382.119(b)).
    In addition, if your carrier uses new audio-visual displays to
convey this information to passengers with hearing impairments it
must provide high-contrast captioning. (Sec.  382.69).

Safety Briefings for Passengers With Hearing Impairments

    If your carrier presents safety briefings to passengers using
audio-visual displays, the presentation must be accessible to
passengers with hearing impairments. (Sec.  382.115(e)).
    See Chapter 5, Section E, Services and Information Provided in
the Cabin and Section F, Safety Briefings.

Complaint Procedures

Complaints Resolution Officials (CROs)

    Carriers providing service using aircraft with 19 or more
passenger seats must designate one or more CROs to handle
disability-related complaints. (Sec.  382.151(a)). A U.S. carrier
must make a CRO available at each airport it serves during all times
it operates at that airport. A foreign carrier must make a CRO
available at each airport serving flights it operates that begin or
end at a U.S. airport. 382.151(b).

Responding to Complaints

    You should be aware that your carrier must respond to both oral
and written complaints from passengers with a disability.
    Complaints made directly to your CRO. If a complaint is made
directly to your CRO before a potential violation has occurred your
CRO must take prompt action to ensure compliance with Part 382. If
the alleged violation has already occurred and your CRO agrees that
Part 382 was violated, your CRO must respond in writing with a
summary of the facts and what steps, if any, your carrier proposes
to take in response to the violation. If your CRO does not find that
Part 382 was violated, your CRO must provide a written statement
summarizing the facts and the reasons for the determination. In
either case, the response must inform the passenger of his or her
right to pursue DOT enforcement action. If possible, your CRO should
provide the response to the passenger at the airport. If this is not
possible, the response must be forwarded to the passenger within 30
days. (Sec.  382.153).
    Written complaints made after a trip. Your carrier must provide
a written response to the complaining passenger within 30 days of
receiving their written complaint. The response must describe how
your carrier resolved the complaint and must specifically admit or
deny that a violation of Part 382 occurred. (Sec.  382.155(d)).
Depending on your carrier's determination, the response to a written
complaint must include the following:
     If your carrier agrees that a violation has occurred,
it must provide a written statement to the complainant summarizing
the facts and stating what steps, if any, your carrier proposes to
take in response to the violation. (Sec.  382.155(d)(1)).
     If your carrier denies that a violation occurred, the
written response must include a summary of the facts and your
carrier's reasons under Part 382 for making its determination.
(Sec.  382.155(d)(2)).
     Information about the complainant's right to pursue DOT
enforcement action under Part 382. (Sec.  382.155(d)(3)).

Recording, Categorizing, and Reporting Disability-Related Complaints

    A carrier covered by Part 382 that conducts passenger operations
with at least one aircraft having a designated seating capacity of
more than 60 passengers on flights to, from, or in the United States
must categorize, record, and report annually to DOT the written
disability-related complaints received by your carrier. (Sec.
382.157). This requirement applies to foreign carriers only with
respect to disability-related complaints associated with any flight
segment beginning or ending in the United States. (Sec.
382.157(b)).
    Your carrier must have a system for categorizing and recording
disability-related complaints by the passenger's type of disability
and the nature of the passenger's complaint. (Sec.  382.157(c)). In
addition, your carrier must submit an annual report on the last
Monday in January of every year summarizing the disability-related
complaints received during the previous year. This annual report
must be submitted online using the form specified at the Web site
address http://382reporting.ost.dot.gov unless your carrier
demonstrates undue hardship if not permitted to submit the
information via paper copies, disks or email. (Sec.  382.157(d)). If
DOT approves your carrier's request not to submit the annual report
through the Web site address above, it must use the form in appendix
A to Part 382. (Sec.  382.157(h)).
    The recording and reporting responsibilities discussed above
also apply to carriers in a codeshare relationship. (Sec.
382.157(f)).
    See Chapter 6: Assisting Air Travelers with Disabilities with
Their Complaints.

Employee Training

    You should be aware that proper training of carrier personnel is
critical to compliance with the ACAA and Part 382. The training
requirements in Part 382 vary with aircraft size. A carrier
operating aircraft with 19 or more passenger seats must train all
personnel who deal with the traveling public, as appropriate to the
duties of each employee, to proficiency in certain specific areas
such as applicable regulations and carrier procedures on providing
air travel for passengers with disabilities, and provide training in
other areas such as appropriate communications as outlined in Part
382. (Sec.  382.141(a)). Your carrier must provide, or ensure that
your contractor's provide, training to contract employees who deal
directly with the traveling public that is tailored to the
employees' functions. (Sec.  382.141(a)(6)). Your carrier must
consult with organizations representing persons with disabilities in
your home country when developing your training programs and your
policies and procedures. (Sec.  382.141(a)(4)).
    A carrier operating aircraft with fewer than 19 passenger seats
must provide training for its flight crewmembers and appropriate
personnel to ensure that those personnel are familiar with
applicable regulations, carrier procedures, and appropriate
communication in providing air travel to passengers with a
disability and that they comply with Part 382. (Sec.  382.141(b)).
    Chapter 8: Personnel Training, contains a detailed discussion of
carrier personnel and contractor training program requirements,
including refresher training, as well as the recordkeeping
requirements and schedule associated with this training.

Appendix IV FSAT 04-01A Location and Placement of Service Animals on
Aircraft Engaged in Public Air Transportation

    ORDER: 8400.10
    APPENDIX: 4
    BULLETIN TYPE: Flight Standards Information Bulletin for Air
Transportation (FSAT)
    BULLETIN NUMBER: FSAT 04-01A
    BULLETIN TITLE: Location and Placement of Service Animals on
Aircraft Engaged in Public Air Transportation.
    EFFECTIVE DATE: 6/24/04
    AMENDED DATE: 7/23/04
    TRACKING: N/A
    APPLICABILITY: This bulletin applies to operations under part
121 and 135.

    NOTE: This amended bulletin adds further guidance about
``unusual service animals'' in paragraphs 4 D and E.

    1. PURPOSE. This bulletin clarifies the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Flight Standards Service's safety and
enforcement policy regarding the location and placement of service
animals, as defined by the Department of Transportation (DOT) in
Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 382,
Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Air Travel, for all
aircraft operated under 14 CFR parts 121 and 135. This bulletin
supplements information contained in Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) Advisory Circular (AC) 120-32, Air Transportation of
Handicapped Persons.
    2. BACKGROUND.
    A. As early as 1977, the FAA recognized the need for guidance
regarding the placement and location of service animals on aircraft.
AC 120-32 discusses the placement of ``guide dogs'' and states that
``They should be seated in the first row seat of a section next to
the bulkhead where there is more room for the dog''. This guidance
was issued well before DOT Part 382 was published in 1990.
Collaboration among the FAA, the DOT and members of the disabled
community during the development of DOT Part 382 ensured that its
requirements would be consistent with the AC previously published by
the FAA.
    B. Flight Standards has recently received questions from air
carriers, aviation safety inspectors, airline industry
representatives and people with service animals regarding compliance
with DOT Part 382 Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in
Air Travel as it pertains to the location and placement of service
animals on aircraft engaged in public air transportation.
    C. On May 9, 2003, DOT issued revised guidance regarding the
carriage of service animals affecting all transportation modes,
including aviation. If the FAA believes that additional FAA
rulemaking or guidance is necessary, the FAA will undertake them, as
appropriate. One example of this type of activity is the issuance of
this FSAT, which contains Flight Standards' safety and enforcement
policy regarding the placement and location of service animals
accompanying persons with disabilities on aircraft.
    3. SAFETY REVIEW.
    A. A review of all available reports regarding commercial
aircraft accidents with at least one fatality, in operations under
part 121, that occurred between 1/1/1990 and 1/1/2004, contained in
the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reporting system,
found no references to either a service animal's presence on the
aircraft or its placement or location on the aircraft, to have
negatively impacted an aircraft evacuation or a particular
individual's emergency egress from an aircraft.
    B. A review of NTSB Safety Report ``Survivability of Accidents
Involving Part 121 U.S. Air Carrier Operations, 1983 Through
2000(NTSB/SR-01/01), also found no references to either a service
animal's presence on the aircraft or its placement or

location on the aircraft, to have negatively impacted an aircraft
evacuation or a particular individual's emergency egress from an
aircraft.
    C. Similarly, a review of the NTSB Safety Study, ``Emergency
Evacuation of Commercial Airplanes (NTSB/SS-00/01),'' found no
references to either a service animal's presence on the aircraft or
their placement or location on the aircraft, to have negatively
impacted an aircraft evacuation or a particular individual's
emergency egress from an aircraft.
    4. GUIDANCE. The variety of service animals, as well as the
services these animals perform, has certainly become larger in scope
since the FAA's policy was first published in 1977. However, after a
comprehensive review of available NTSB data, the FAA sees no safety
issue that compels the FAA to change its long standing safety and
enforcement policy regarding placement and location of service
animals on aircraft. Therefore, consistent with DOT part 382
requirements:
    A. Placement. A service animal may be placed at the feet of a
person with a disability at any bulkhead seat or in any other seat
as long as when the animal is seated/placed/curled up on the floor,
no part of the animal extends into the main aisle(s) of the
aircraft, the service animal is not at an emergency exit seat and
the service animal does not extend into the foot space of another
passenger seated nearby who does not wish to share foot space with
the service animal.
    B. Placement of lap held service animals. Lap held service
animals (such as a monkey used by a person with mobility
impairments) are discussed in the preamble to DOT Part 382
Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Air Travel, issued
in 1990 (FR Vol. 55, No. 44 361990, pg. 8042). They are service
animals that need to be in a person's lap to perform a service for
that person. This service animal may sit in that person's lap for
all phases of flight including ground movement, take off and landing
provided that the service animal is no larger than a lap-held child
(a child who has not reached his or her second birthday).
    C. Documentation. One type of service animal is an animal used
for emotional support. The presence of such an animal is found to be
medically necessary for the passenger traveling with the animal.
Under DOT rules, and outlined clearly in DOT Guidance Concerning
Service Animals, published on May 9, 2003, an air carrier may
require documentation regarding the medical need for the presence of
an emotional support animal as a condition of permitting the animal
to accompany the passenger in the cabin as a service animal.
    D. Unusual Service Animals. On May 9, 2003, the Department of
Transportation issued Guidance Concerning Service Animals in Air
Transportation. Unusual service animals pose unavoidable safety and/
or public health concerns and airlines are not required to transport
them. Snakes, other reptiles, ferrets, rodents, and spiders
certainly fall within this category of animals. The release of such
an animal in the aircraft cabin could result in a direct threat to
the health or safety of passengers and crewmembers. For these
reasons, airlines are not required to transport these types of
service animals in the cabin, and carriage in the cargo hold will be
in accordance with company policies on the carriage of animals
generally.
    E. Other unusual animals such as miniature horses, pigs and
monkeys should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Factors to
consider are the animal's size, weight, state and foreign country
restrictions, and whether or not the animal would pose a direct
threat to the health or safety of others, or cause a fundamental
alteration (significant disruption) in the cabin service. If none of
these factors apply, the animal may accompany the passenger in the
cabin. In most other situations, the animal should be carried in the
cargo hold in accordance with company policy.
    F. This safety and enforcement policy has been coordinated with
AGC-220, Operations and Air Traffic Law Branch.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30788; Amdt. No. 3430 ]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective June 27, 2011. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of June 27, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For Examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located;
    3. The National Flight Procedures Office, 6500 South MacArthur
Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-
6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.
    Availability--All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available
online free of charge. Visit http://www.nfdc.faa.gov to register.
Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP copies may
be obtained from:
    1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA-200), FAA Headquarters Building,
800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; or

    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Harry J. Hodges, Flight Procedure
Standards Branch (AFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs Divisions,
Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd. Oklahoma City,
OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS.
The complete regulators description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA
Forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, and 8260-15B when
required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, in addition
to their complex nature and the need for a special format make
publication in the Federal Register expensive and impractical.
Furthermore, airmen do not use the regulatory text of the SIAPs,
Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead refer to their depiction on
charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. The advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on
FAA forms is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR
sections and specifies the types of SIAPs and the effective dates of
the, associated Takeoff Minimums and ODPs. This amendment also
identifies the airport and its location, the procedure, and the
amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as contained in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The
circumstances which created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums
and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less than 30
days. For the remaining SIAPS and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPS and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedures before adopting these SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, that good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in
less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule '' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,1979) ;
and (3)does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
