DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Office of the Secretary

14 CFR Part 382

[Docket OST–96–1880]

RIN 2105–AC28

Nondiscrimination on the Basis of

Disability in Air Travel

AGENCY: Department of Transportation

(DOT), Office of the Secretary.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: On March 4, 1998, the

Department of Transportation published

final rules amending its regulations

implementing Air Carrier Access. This

document corrects a minor editorial

error in that document. The correction

does not change the substance of the

regulatory provision involved.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 5, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert C. Ashby, Deputy Assistant

General Counsel for Regulation and

Enforcement, Department of

Transportation, 400 7th Street, SW.,

Room 10424, Washington, DC, 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department is making an editorial

correction to its March 4, 1998, final

rule amending 14 CFR part 382, which

implements the Air Carrier Access Act.

The final rule provision in question

involved a clarification to the general

prohibition on discrimination. Codified

as 49 CFR 382.7(c), it provides as

follows:

Carriers shall, in addition to meeting the

other requirements of this part, modify

policies, practices, or facilities as needed to

ensure nondiscrimination, consistent with

the standards of section 504 of the

Rehabilitation Act, as amended. Carriers are

not required to make modifications that

would constitute an undue burden or would

fundamentally alter their program.

One disability group pointed out that

the word ‘‘or’’ in the second line of the

paragraph should more properly be

‘‘and’’. While we do not believe that, in

this context, changing ‘‘or’’ to ‘‘and’’ has

any substantive significance in terms of

the actual obligations of carriers, we

will make the change in order to avoid

any possible confusion about the

provision. Consequently, we are

amending this paragraph to substitute

‘‘and’’ for ‘‘or’’.

The Department finds that there is

good cause to issue this correction

without a prior notice and opportunity

for comment. The underlying

substantive provision was previously

the subject of notice-and-comment

rulemaking. The Department would not

anticipate receiving any useful public

comment on this editorial correction.

Therefore, the Department finds that it

would be impracticable, unnecessary,

and contrary to the public interest to go

through a notice-and-comment process

to fix a minor editorial mistake. For the

same reason, we find good cause to

make this correction effective

immediately.

This is a nonsignificant rule under

both Executive Order 12886 and the

Department’s regulatory policies and

procedures. The Department certifies,

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act,

that the rule will not have a significant

economic effect on a substantial number

of small entities. This is because we

anticipate that this amendment will

have no economic effects (nor, for that

matter, any other kinds of effects) on

anyone. It does not have Federalism

impacts sufficient to warrant the

preparation of a Federalism impact

statement. It does not impose

information collection requirements.

List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 382

Air carriers, Civil rights, Individuals

with disabilities, Reporting and

recordkeeping requirements.

Issued this 23rd day of December, 1999, at

Washington, DC.

Robert C. Ashby,

Deputy Assistant General Counsel for

Regulation and Enforcement.

For the reasons set forth in the

preamble, the Department amends 14

CFR part 382 as follows:

PART 382—NONDISCRIMINATION ON

THE BASIS OF DISABILITY IN AIR

TRAVEL

1. The authority citation for 14 CFR

part 382 continues to read as follows:

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 41702, 47105, and

41712.

§ 382.7 [Amended]

2. Amend 14 CFR § 382.7(c) by

removing the word ‘‘or’’ in the first

sentence thereof and adding the word

‘‘and’’ in its place.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

Broadcasting Board of Governers

22 CFR Parts 22 and 514

[Public Notice 3190]

Exchange Visitor Program:

Redesignation of Regulations and

Delay of Effective Date

AGENCY: Broadcasting Board of

Governors and Bureau of Educational

and Cultural Affairs, Department of

State.

ACTION: Interim final rule.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the consolidation

of the United States Information Agency

(‘‘USIA’’) and the Department of State as

mandated by the Foreign Affairs

Agencies Consolidation Act of 1998,

public regulations of the former USIA

were either repealed, revised and

amended to apply only to the

Department of State, or amended to

apply only to the Broadcasting Board of

Governors (‘‘BBG’’). Through

administrative error, one provision of

the former USIA regulations, 22 CFR

514.90(a) was inadvertently retained by

the BBG instead of being removed, as

intended. This rule cures this error by

removing 22 CFR 514.90(a).

The Department of State is also

delaying indefinitely the effective date

of the interim final rule that was

published in the Federal Register by the

United States Information Agency on

September 27, 1999, at 64 FR 51894–

51896. The rule would institute user

fees for the services of the Program
