Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 43 / Monday, March 5, 2012 / Notices 13173 

compliance with the full-fare disclosure 

mandate of the Department’s recent 

consumer rule, ‘‘Enhancing Airline 

Consumer Protections’’ (14 CFR 399.84, 

76 FR 23110, 23166, Apr. 25, 2011). 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. Questions regarding this 

notice may be addressed to the Office of 

Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings 

(C–70), 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., 

Washington, DC 20590.

SUMMARY: The FAA is conducting a 

public meeting to seek technical input 

on proposed operational incentive 

scenarios for possible implementation 

in the 2012–2014 timeframe. The

industry forums, including the recent 

recommendations that were made by the 

Future of Aviation Advisory Committee

Committee (NAC). FAA is seeking 

stakeholder input on the technical and 

operational feasibility of the proposed 

scenarios from an operator and airport 

perspective.

BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of a Non-Aeronautical Land-Use 

Change Effecting the Quitclaim Deed 

and Federal Grant Assurance 

Obligations at Blythe Airport, Blythe, 

CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of a Non-aeronautical 

land-use change. 

SUMMARY: 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. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before April 4, 2012.
