Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 219 / Monday, November 15, 2004 / Notices 65677

3 In open-skies and other markets governed by 

bilateral agreements containing double-disapproval 

pricing articles, the Department has exempted 

carriers from fare filing. See 14 CFR part 293. See 

also, Letter from Paul L. Gretch, Director of 

International Aviation, to air carriers dated October 

14, 2004, which was distributed electronically by 

ATPCO to its members.

surcharges and their amounts were 

stated elsewhere in the advertisement. 

The ‘‘government-approved’’ surcharges 

were limited to security surcharges 

approved in the mid-1980’s that affected 

foreign air transportation only and were 

approved by both the foreign 

government involved and the U.S. 

government. Recently, tariff regulation, 

owing to expanded open-skies 

agreements and other factors, has been 

revised to the extent that there is no 

longer a consistent practice of joint 

approvals of surcharges, in many 

instances resulting in the filing of tariffs 

that may include surcharges that are 

approved by only one government. In 

addition, the desire of carriers to pass 

on the higher costs of certain expenses 

discretely, such as insurance and fuel, 

has led to such expenses being filed 

separately from the ‘‘base’’ fare in tariffs, 

a situation that the Department cannot 

effectively monitor.3 In view of these 

developments, the Enforcement Office 

will no longer allow the separate listing 

of ‘‘government-approved’’ surcharges 

in fare advertising. We will consider the 

separate listing of such charges in fare 

advertisements an unfair and deceptive 

trade practice and unfair method of 

competition in violation of 14 CFR 

399.84 and 49 U.S.C. 41712 and will 

pursue enforcement action where such 

violations are found. With respect to 

‘‘government-imposed’’ surcharges, for 

example PFCs and foreign airport 

charges, however, our policy remains 

that such charges may be omitted from 

the fare quotations provided that they 

are not ad valorem in nature, that they 

are collected on a per-passenger basis, 

and that their existence and amount are 

clearly indicated in the advertisement 

so that the consumer can determine the 

full fare to be paid.

Questions concerning this notice or 

the applicability of the Department’s 

fare advertising rules may be addressed 

to the Office of Aviation Enforcement 

and Proceedings.
