Date: 2011-12-16
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Office of the Secretary

Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections: Limited Extension of Effect Date for Full Fare Price Advertising
Document Number: 2011-32336
Type: Rule
Date: 2011-12-16
Agency: Department of Transportation, Office of the Secretary
This direct final rule delays the effective date regarding the time period for compliance with a portion of the full fare and other advertising requirements from January 24, 2012, to January 26, 2012. The intended effect of this delay is to provide regulatory relief to petitioner American Airlines by allowing the carrier and any other similarly situated carriers or ticket agents to avoid having to update full fare information in on-line reservations systems on a day of the week that is the petitioner's, and may be other carriers' and ticket agents', heaviest on-line traffic and revenue day. This action is necessary to minimize the detrimental effects of any difficulties that may arise in the immediate aftermath of on-line implementation of programming necessary to comply with the new requirement that sellers of air transportation advertise the full fare, including all government-imposed taxes and fees. This delay is a minor substantive change, in the public interest, and unlikely to result in adverse comment.
