  <title><![CDATA[  Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-11-20-07-5760</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Department of Transportation (DOT or Department) is 
seeking comment on whether it should adopt a rule to enhance airline 
passenger protections in the following seven ways: require carriers to 
adopt contingency plans for lengthy tarmac delays and incorporate them 
in their contracts of carriage, require carriers to respond to consumer 
problems, deem operating a chronically delayed flight to be unfair and 
deceptive, require carriers to publish delay data, require carriers to 
publish complaint data, require ontime performance reporting for 
international flights, and require carriers to audit their compliance 
with their customer service plans. We are proposing that most of these 
measures cover certificated or commuter air carriers that operate 
domestic scheduled passenger service using any aircraft with more than 
30 passenger seats. We are proposing that one measure cover the largest 
U.S. and foreign carriers and that two other measures cover the largest 
U.S. carriers.

  <title><![CDATA[  Revision of Airline Service Quality Performance Reports and  Disclosure Requirements]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-11-20-07-5759</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is proposing to 
collect additional data elements when flights are cancelled, diverted, 
or experience gate returns. The additional proposed data elements would 
fill in data gaps giving the Department, the industry, and the public a 
more accurate portrayal of onground delays after flights depart the 
gate but prior to the time they take off and after flights land but 
before they reach the gate.

  <title><![CDATA[  Oversales and Denied Boarding Compensation ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-11-20-07-5761</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Department of Transportation (DOT or Department) is 
proposing to amend its rules relating to oversales and denied boarding 
compensation to increase the limits on the compensation paid to 
``bumped'' passengers, to cover flights by certain U.S. and foreign air 
carriers operated with aircraft seating 30 to 60 passengers, which are 
currently exempt from the rule, and to make other changes. Such changes 
in the rule, if adopted, would be intended to maintain consumer 
protection commensurate with developments in the aviation industry.
