Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 239 / Wednesday, December 14, 2005 / Proposed Rules
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Department has determined that
the requirements of Title II of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
do not apply to this rulemaking.
Dated: Issued this Day of December 5,
2005, at Washington, DC, Under Authority
Delegated by 49 CFR 1.56a.
Michael W. Reynolds,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Aviation and
International Affairs.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 399
Administrative practice and
procedure, Air carriers, Air rates and
fares, Air taxis, Consumer protection,
Small businesses.
For the reasons set forth in the
preamble, the Department proposes to
amend 14 CFR part 399 as follows:
PART 399—STATEMENTS OF
GENERAL POLICY
1. The authority citation for part 399
continues to read as follows: 49 U.S.C.
40101 et seq.
Subpart G—Policies Relating to
Enforcement
Option I
2. Section 399.84 would be revised to
read as follows:
§ 399.84
Price Advertising.
(a) Total Price Requirement. (1)
Except as specified in paragraph (a)(2)
of this section, the Department
considers any advertising or solicitation
by an air carrier, a foreign air carrier, or
a ticket agent for passenger air
transportation, a tour (i.e., a
combination of air transportation and
ground accommodations), or a tour
component (i.e., a hotel stay) that states
a price for such air transportation, tour,
or tour component to be an unfair or
deceptive practice, unless the price
stated is the entire price to be paid by
the customer to the air carrier, foreign
air carrier, or ticket agent, for such air
transportation, tour, or tour component.
(2) Government-imposed taxes and
fees that the carrier collects on a perperson basis may be excluded from the
advertised airfare, provided that they
are not ad valorem in nature, and
provided that the advertising or
solicitation shows the existence and
amount of these charges clearly so that
consumers can easily determine the
entire price to be paid. An indication of
the existence of the taxes and fees listed
separately must be situated close to the
advertised fare, and the information
provided must be easily readable.
(i) If an advertisement lists multiple
destinations that do not all entail the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:28 Dec 13, 2005
Jkt 208001
same government-imposed taxes and
fees, the advertisement may state a
maximum sum of these charges, a sum
for each destination, or a range of sums.
Also, the word ‘‘approximately’’ or a
range of sums may be used to account
for minor currency-exchange
fluctuations.
(ii) In Internet fare advertisements,
including not only Web sites but also
banner, pop-up, and e-mail
advertisements, the per-person
government taxes and fees that may be
listed separately may be noted by a
prominent hyperlink, proximate to the
listed fare, that takes the viewer to a
display showing the nature and amount
of these charges.
(iii) In any billboard advertisement
that breaks out taxes and fees, a sum of
these charges must be legible to drivers
passing the billboard at the posted
speed limit.
(iv) In television advertisements, the
sum of any taxes and fees that are
broken out must be disclosed. It must
either be presented on screen so that it
can be read (i.e., in sufficiently large
print and for a sufficient amount of
time) or be disclosed audially.
(v) Radio advertisements must
include the sum of any taxes and fees
that are broken out.
(b) Advertising ‘‘two-for-one’’ fares is
an unfair or deceptive practice if the
fare that must be purchased to take
advantage of the promotion is higher
than the carrier’s other fares in the same
market, unless this fact is prominently
and clearly disclosed.
(c) Advertising ‘‘each-way’’ fares that
are available only when bought for
round-trip travel is an unfair or
deceptive practice unless the round-trip
purchase requirement is disclosed
clearly and conspicuously. Specifically,
the disclosure must be prominent and
proximate to the advertised fares. A
banner or pop-up Internet advertisement
of an ‘‘each-way’’ fare that is only
available with a round-trip purchase
must disclose this fact in the
advertisement itself.
(d) Advertising ‘‘free’’ air
transportation in conjunction with the
purchase of one or more other tickets is
an unfair or deceptive practice unless
restrictions, fees, and other conditions
that apply to the ‘‘free’’ transportation
are disclosed prominently and
proximate to the offer, at a minimum
through an asterisk or other symbol
directing the reader’s attention to the
information elsewhere in the
advertisement. The information must be
presented in easily readable print or
audially. This requirement applies to
advertisements in all media: the
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
Internet, billboards, television, radio,
and print media.
(e) Advertising fares that are higher if
purchased through one or more media
(e.g., by telephone or in person) than
through another (e.g., over the Internet)
is an unfair or deceptive practice unless
the advertisement prominently discloses
that the stated fares are only available
through the one medium and that
tickets cost more than the advertised
price if purchased through other media.
The advertisement may state a price
differential but may not characterize
this amount as a ‘‘service fee.’’
Option II
3. Section 399.84 would be revised to
read as follows:
§ 399.84
Price disclosure.
The Department considers the sale of
air transportation to be an unfair or
deceptive practice unless the total price
of the transportation is disclosed to the
consumer before the consumer makes
the purchase.
Option III
4. Section 399.84 would be revised to
read as follows:
§ 399.84 Price disclosure and price
advertising.
(a) The Department considers the sale
of air transportation to be an unfair or
deceptive practice unless the total price
of the transportation is disclosed to the
consumer before the consumer makes
the purchase.
(b) The Department considers any
advertising by an air carrier, foreign air
carrier, or ticket agent that states a price
for air transportation to be an unfair or
deceptive practice unless the
advertisement sets forth all price
components for such air transportation
so that the consumer can determine the
entire price to be paid.
Option IV
5. Section 399.84 would be removed.
