1Airports are also required to submit updated 

plans on a recurring basis. 49 U.S.C. 42301(d)(2). 

The requirement for airports is every five years, 

thus the next submission deadline for covered 

airports will occur in May 2017. 

the date of the publication of the notice 

of having received such application, or 

the Secretary shall publish a statement 

in the Federal Register of the reason 

why the Secretary’s decision on the 

application is delayed, along with an 

estimate of the additional time 

necessary before a decision is made.’’ 

ATA’s application for a preemption 

determination is still under 

consideration by PHMSA. The Agency 

is currently conducting fact-finding and 

legal analysis in response to the 

application. Because of this additional 

fact-finding and legal analysis, it was 

impracticable to issue a decision within 

the 180-day timeframe. In order to allow 

time for full consideration of the issues 

raised by the application, PHMSA 

delays issuance of its determination, 

and estimates a decision will be 

published in approximately 120 days. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on April 21, 

2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In 2012, pursuant to section 415 of the 

FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 

2012, 49 U.S.C. 42301, (‘‘the Act’’) U.S. 

carriers operating scheduled passenger 

service or public charter service using 

any aircraft with a design capacity of 30 

or more seats, and airport operators of 

large hub, medium hub, small hub, or 

non-hub U.S. airports were required to 

submit contingency plans for lengthy 

tarmac delay plans to the Secretary of 

Transportation for review and approval 

by May 14, 2012. Covered carriers and 

airports submitted their tarmac delay 

plans by the statutory deadline of May 

14, 2012, and within 60 days of receipt 

of a tarmac delay plan, the Enforcement 

Office reviewed, approved, or, if 

necessary, required modifications to 

submitted plans. The Enforcement 

Office completed the process on August 

23, 2012, after reviewing, requesting 

modifications, and approving 451 plans. 

The purpose of this notice is to 

address the Act’s recurring ‘‘updates’’ 

provision, 49 U.S.C. 42301(d)(1), which 

requires covered air carriers to resubmit 

updated plans every three years to the 

Secretary for review and approval.1 As 

such, covered carriers are required to 

update their plans and submit the 

updated plan for review and approval 

by May 14, 2015. The submission and 

review process will be identical to the 

process used in May 2012. 

Similar to 2012, the Department’s 

Bureau of Transportation Statistics 

(BTS) has identified a preliminary list of 

those carriers that the Department 

believes to be covered by the statute. 

The preliminary list can be found on the 

Department’s Aviation Consumer 

Protection Division Web site at 

www.dot.gov/airconsumer/flight-delays. 

Any U.S. carrier on the referenced list 

that believes it is not covered by the 

statute and should not be on the list 

should notify one of the Department 

contacts listed above as soon as 

possible. Similarly, if any U.S. carrier 

believes it is covered by the statute but 

does not appear on the list, that carrier 

should notify one of the Department 

contacts noted above. 

Regarding the submission of updated 

plans, we request that carriers submit 

their plans through the established Web 

site: http://

filingtarmacdelayplan.dot.gov. Most 

covered carriers already have an 

account created, but for any questions 

(e.g., forgotten usernames or passwords), 

please contact one of the Department 

contacts noted above. If a carrier needs 

to register for the first time and create 

an account, click on the hyperlink titled 

‘‘Create Account to Submit Tarmac 

Delay Contingency Plan’’ in the blue 

sign-in box on the home page of the 

established Web site. For further 

reference, more detailed instructions 

regarding registering an account and 

submitting plans can be found at 

www.dot.gov/airconsumer/flight-delays. 

See May 2, 2012 Notice. 

Pursuant to the Act, the Enforcement 

Office will have 60 days from receipt of 

a plan to review and approve a plan or, 

if necessary, require modifications to 

the updated plan. 49 U.S.C. 42301(e)(1). 

If the Enforcement Office fails to 

approve or require modifications to an 

updated plan within the 60-day 

timeframe, the plan shall be deemed 

approved. 49 U.S.C. 42301(e)(2). 

To the extent carriers do not have any 

updates for their plans, the Enforcement 

Office will accept resubmission of the 

same plan. The language of the statute 

is clear, ‘‘an air carrier shall update each 

emergency contingency plan submitted 

by the carrier [] every 3 years and 

submit the update to the Secretary for 

review and approval.’’ 49 U.S.C. 

42301(d)(1). 

Issued this 21st day of April 2015, at 

Washington, DC.
