Committee.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Under 14 CFR part 234, the U.S.

Department of Transportation’s Bureau

of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Office

of Airline Information (OAI) collects

and publishes on-time data. With the

data, users can calculate daily average

flight delay for particular flights and the

percentage of an airline’s flights

delayed, canceled, or diverted. The

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

and the air carriers use the data to better

understand tarmac and airborne delays.

The Department of Transportation

(DOT) and the air carriers also use the

data for performance measurements.

Section 227 of The Wendell H. the

Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment

and Reform Act for the 21st Century

(AIR–21) requires that the BTS’s data

collection, also called the Airline

Service Quality Performance Reports, be

modified to include information about

reasons for delay. DOT is establishing

the Categories of Delay For Air Carrier

On-Time Reporting Advisory Committee

to examine reasons for delays and

cancellations experienced by the

consumer, and to recommend

alternatives and criteria for

modifications to the regulations in part

234 of title 14, Code of Federal

Regulations.

II. Potential Issues To Be Discussed

1. What categories of delay

information will be beneficial to the

government, airlines, and consumers?

2. For the categories, what definitions

describe them adequately and are

technically feasible?

3. How should information be

collected—who will report delay

information?

4. When a delay has multiple causes,

how should this be handled?

III. Membership

Members have been chosen to provide

a balanced cross section of viewpoints

of the affected interests concerning the

data collection, including

representatives from airline consumer

groups, air carriers, labor unions, and

airport operators. The Committee will

be chaired by Associate Deputy

Secretary, Dr. Stephen D. Van Beek.

IV. Participation by Non-Members

Meetings of the Committee will be

open to the public so that individuals

who are not part of the Committee may

attend and observe, but not participate.

Done at Washington, DC on October 18,

2000.

Stephen D. Van Beek,

Associate Deputy Secretary, U.S. Department

of Transportation.
