Eighty-Fourth Meeting: RTCA Special Committee 159: Global Positioning System (GPS), 2745-2746 [2011-818]

Download as PDF mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 10 / Friday, January 14, 2011 / Notices carrier by its corporate name and any other name under which that service is held out to the public.’’ (Section 257.5(b)) Written notice of code-share service is also required where an itinerary is issued. (Section 257.5(c)(1)) In printed advertisements, including those published via a Web site, the code-share relationship must be ‘‘prominently’’ disclosed and an abbreviated notice must be included in any radio or television advertisement. (For a recent enforcement interpretation of this requirement, see Order 2010–7– 4, Delta Air Lines, Inc., and Northwest Airlines, Inc., and Order 2009–7–6, United Air Lines, Inc., July 7, 2009.) With regard to Web sites, we have, as a matter of enforcement policy, not pursued enforcement action in cases where disclosure of an operating carrier’s corporate name and other pertinent names was provided through rollover or hyperlinked displays. On the other hand, we have pursued enforcement action where neither such disclosure nor direct disclosure of the operating carrier’s name or names was provided. The amended language of section 41712 makes explicit that the disclosure of code-share service, in the context of Web site displays, must be included in any schedule displayed in response to an itinerary request by a consumer. To be ‘‘easily visible,’’ the disclosure should be on the same screen as the itinerary and immediately adjacent to that itinerary and to each alternative itinerary, if applicable. Nothing in section 41712(c) would permit codeshare disclosure to be made through a hyperlink or rollover. Code-share service may be highlighted by an asterisk or other mark, but should still include appropriate text on the itinerary display that is easily visible to a viewer, identifying the operating carrier by its corporate name. Because of this new statutory provision, we intend to pursue enforcement action in the future where the only code-share disclosure is by rollover or hyperlinked displays. To avoid the initiation of enforcement action in the future, air carriers, foreign air carriers, and their ticket agents, including independent Web site vendors, are advised to promptly modify their practices to conform to these statutory disclosure requirements. In view of the fact that Web site sellers will need a period in which to modify their Web site displays, the Aviation Enforcement Office will not begin to enforce the new statutory provision until 60 days after the date of publication of this notice. During the intervening period, we will continue to pursue enforcement action against sites VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:03 Jan 13, 2011 Jkt 223001 which fail, at a minimum, to provide full disclosure of the operating carrier’s required name or names through hyperlinks or rollovers. By this notice we are also reminding air carriers of their general responsibility regarding the advertising practices of their agents and in particular with respect to disclosure of code-share service on the agents’ Web sites. Based on our preliminary review, it appears that most U.S. air carrier Web sites already comply with section 41712(c), while many of their agents’ sites do not. Carriers are responsible for the activities of their agents and must ensure compliance with code-share disclosure requirements by those agents, or they could face enforcement action. We are also taking this opportunity to warn ticket agents, in particular global distribution systems, which may be assisting travel agents to establish airline ticket sales Web sites, that they should not be providing those agents Web site software that is not in compliance with the Department’s advertising requirements, in general, or code-share disclosure requirements, in particular. Such actions that facilitate violations of Department rules or section 41712 may themselves violate 41712, and we will not hesitate to institute enforcement action against ticket agents in such situations, if appropriate.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for San Diego International Airport under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. (the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 CFR part 150 by the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, San Diego County, California. This program was submitted subsequent to a determination by FAA that associated noise exposure maps submitted under 14 CFR Part 150 for San Diego International Airport were in compliance with applicable requirements, effective November 10, 2009, 74 FR 66400–66401. The proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or disapproved on or before July 3, 2011. DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the start of FAA’s review of the noise compatibility program is January 5, 2011. The public comment period ends March 7, 2011. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Victor Globa, Federal Aviation mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:03 Jan 13, 2011 Jkt 223001 Administration, Los Angeles Airports District Office, P.O. Box 92007, Los Angeles, California 90009–2007, Telephone: 310/725–3637. Comments on the proposed noise compatibility program should also be submitted to the above office. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA is reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program for San Diego International Airport which will be approved or disapproved on or before July 3, 2011. This notice also announces the availability of this program for public review and comment. An airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps that are found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150, promulgated pursuant to the Act, may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets forth the measures the operator has taken or proposes to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional noncompatible uses. The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for San Diego International Airport, effective on June 22, 2010. The airport operator has requested that the FAA review this material and that the noise mitigation measures, to be implemented jointly by the airport and surrounding communities, be approved as a noise compatibility program under section 47504 of the Act. Preliminary review of the submitted material indicates that it conforms to FAR Part 150 requirements for the submittal of noise compatibility programs, but that further review will be necessary prior to approval or disapproval of the program. The formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, will be completed on or before July 3, 2011. The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be conducted under the provisions of 14 CFR part 150, section 150.33. The primary considerations in the evaluation process are whether the proposed measures may reduce the level of aviation safety or create an undue burden on interstate or foreign commerce, and whether they are reasonably consistent with obtaining the goal of reducing existing noncompatible land uses and preventing the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses. Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed program with specific reference to these factors. All comments relating to these factors, other than those properly addressed to local PO 00000 Frm 00102 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 land use authorities, will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable. Copies of the noise exposure maps and the proposed noise compatibility program are available for examination at the following locations: Federal Aviation Administration, Western-Pacific Region Office, Airports Division, Room 3012, 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Hawthorne, California 90261. Federal Aviation Administration, Los Angeles Airports District Office, 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Room 3000, Hawthorne, California 90261. Mr. Dan Frazee, San Diego International Airport, 3225 North Harbor Drive, AAAA3rd Floor, Commuter Terminal, San Diego, California 92101. Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Issued in Hawthorne, California on January 5, 2011.
