Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 10 / Friday, January 14, 2011 / Notices 2745 

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 

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.

BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Receipt of Noise Compatibility 

Program and Request for Review for 

San Diego International Airport, San 

Diego, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: 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 

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 

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,
