DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Office of the Secretary

[Docket No. OST–96–1960]

Requirement That Air Carriers Amend

Plans To Address the Needs of

Families of Passengers Involved in

Aircraft Accidents

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This is to advise certificated

air carriers that the Wendell H. Ford

Aviation Investment and Reform Act for

the 21st Century (AIR–21) (Pub. L. 106–

181; 114 Stat. 61; April 5, 2000) amends

49 U.S.C. 41113(b) to require, among

other things, that certificated air carriers

submit to the Department and the

National Transportation Safety Board

additional assurances for their

respective plans to address the needs of

families of passengers involved in

aircraft accidents. The content and filing

requirements for the update to the plans

applicable to certificated air carriers are

set forth in Title IV, section 402, of AIR–

21.

The additional assurances required to

be submitted are described in

Paragraphs (a)(1), (2), and (3) of section

402 of AIR–21. Under the section,

certificated air carriers must submit

their updated plans to the Department

and the NTSB within 180 days of the

statute’s enactment. Since AIR–21 was

signed into law on April 5, 2000,

updated plans are due to be filed not

later than Monday, October 2, 2000.

Each certificated carrier should

submit its plan in its entirety, that is, the

plan as it exists with the new assurances

as set forth in AIR–21. We expect each

certificated carrier to give a high priority

to the timely preparation and

submission of its plan and meet the 180-

day deadline for filing updated plans

required by AIR–21. We note that the

requirements of section 41113 apply to

all certificated air carriers, including

those holding cargo-only authority and

those operating small aircraft. We

remind all certificated carriers that

while a carrier may, if it chooses,

contract with an outside source to act as

a point of contact and provide services

covered in the submitted assurances in

the event of an accident, in such a

situation full responsibility for

complying with the provisions of the

law remains with the carrier.

We would also like to take this

opportunity to request, on behalf of the

NTSB, that each carrier provide the

NTSB an updated 24-hour telephone

number for its operations center for use

in the event of an emergency, and that

the number be updated with the NTSB

in the future as necessary.

DATES: Updated plans are due to be filed

not later than Monday, October 2, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Plans should be submitted

to the Department and the NTSB at the

following addresses:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
