The rule requires that in all fare advertisements for passenger air transportation, a tour, or a tour component the fare published by the vendor must represent the full amount payable by the consumer. Based on a recent review by the Office of Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings (Enforcement Office), a number of Internet sites display fares in whole dollar amounts that represent a rounding down of the exact fare, while other sites state the exact fare or round up. To comply with the requirements of our recently revised full-fare advertising rule, sellers of air transportation must in all fare displays state either the exact fare or round up to an amount greater than the exact fare. This will avoid stating a fare that is lower than its actual amount and may be particularly important in sites which rank fares and display fare alternatives by fare amount. The Enforcement Office views any failure to show either the exact fare or to round up to an amount greater than the exact fare to constitute an unfair and deceptive trade practice and unfair method of competition in violation of 49 U.S.C. 41712 as well as a violation of 14 CFR 399.84. Of course, sellers rounding up in their advertisements may sell the ticket at the exact fare when a purchase is made. The Enforcement Office will allow vendors 60 days to revise their site displays, if necessary, prior to instituting enforcement action on the basis of a practice of rounding down fare amounts. These disclosure requirements extend to all vendors of air transportation.

ACTION: Notice of a Non-aeronautical land-use change. AGENCY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to rule and invites public comment on the application for a non-aeronautical landuse change for approximately 829 acres of airport property at Blythe Airport, Blythe, California, from the aeronautical use provisions of the Quitclaim Deed and Grant Agreement Assurances since the land is not needed for aeronautical purposes. The property will be leased for its fair market value and the rental proceeds deposited in the airport account for airport use. The reuse of the land for a solar farm represents a compatible land use that will not interfere with the airport or its operation, thereby protecting the interests of civil aviation and contributing to the self-sustainability of the airport.
