OST-95-950
Passenger Manifest Information
OST-95-950 | This rule is effective March 20, 1998. Compliance with this rule is
not required until October 1, 1998, except with respect to the plans in Sec. 243.13, which
must be filed by July 1, 1998.
Final rule
This rule requires that certificated air carriers and large foreign air carriers
collect the full name of each U.S.-citizen
traveling on flight segments to or from the United States and solicit a contact name and
telephone number. In case of an aviation disaster, airlines would be required to provide
the information to the Department of State and, in certain instances, to the National
Transportation Safety Board. Each carrier would develop its own collection system. The
rule is adopted pursuant to the Aviation Security Improvement Act of 1990.

OST-95-950 | June 18, 1998
National Air Carrier Association Petition for
Reconsideration
NACA, therefore, petitions the Department to extend the Rule to travel agents and tour operators in the interest of providing greater assurance that the purposes of the regulation will be achieved. Requiring the travel agents, tour operators as well as the air carriers to solicit contact information will improve the possibility of successful implementation of the rule many fold.
Comments of the National Air Carrier Association
on Passenger Manifest Information
It is the belief of the NACA carriers for whom this filing is made that mandating travelagents and tour operators in addition to the air carriers to solicit and collect the required information under 14 CFR 243.7 would assure that the information is obtained on a more personal contact basis (at the time of reservation or sale).

Letter Confirming Verbal Request - National Air
Carrier Association
On June 18, 1998, the National Air Carrier Association filed comments in the above referenced Docket on Passenger Manifest Information, Final Rule. This is to confirm our verbal request that Exhibit 2 [see above] to our filing be treated on a confidential basis pursuant to 14 CFR Section 302.39.

The "petition" should be denied for several reasons, aside from its tardiness. The rule is final. The issues raised by NACA were considered by the Department in its lengthy evaluation of many alternative proposals.' All that is new here is the realization that the NACA carriers, joined now by the ATA carriers, do not want to collect the information. To even entertain these claims, the Department must start another rulemaking proceeding. It cannot simply say "we have decided now to adopt another rule than the one we previously adopted."

Re: Comments of American Express Travel Related
Services Company
We would like to reiterate our comments submitted on this issue on November 11, 1996, a copy of which is attached. We wholeheartedly support the collection of passenger information to speed notification in the event of an air disaster. We urge you, however, to maintain the requirement that the actual travel supplier, the air carrier, collect the information. The air carrier, not the travel agent, is in the best position to know who actually boards a flight. It is routine for travelers, especially business travelers, to change their travel plans at the last minute and to make those changes directly with the airlines. Only the airlines can know who is actually on their flights.
In addition, if you mandate that agents collect passenger manifest information it will no longer be necessary for the airlines to compensate agents for the service. Since the date of our original comments airlines have yet again reduced travel agent commissions. Agents, therefore, are working on thinner and thinner margins. Since airlines first started reducing commissions, thousands of agents have been forced to close their doors. The majority of the remaining ones must now charge customers service/transaction fees to remain viable. Requiring agents to collect passenger manifest information will simply increase service fees to consumes.

Supplementary Comments of The National Air Carrier
Association
We recently were made aware of a U.S. Department of Transportation determination that U.S. and foreign all-cargo carriers are subject to the Rule even though that contradicts a statement contained in the Final Rule in this proceeding which stated that "We have also added the qualifier 'passenger-carrying' to make clear that this rule does not apply to cargo or ferry flights." This is, therefore, to confirm that Evergreen International Airlines and Southern Air Transport will manifest all persons other than crew members and will solicit the name and telephone number of a contact for each U.S. citizen boarded for each flight segment operated to or from the United States. Attached as Exhibit 1 is the list of contact names for those two airlines.

NACA asked that travel agents and tour operators be required to collect the full name of each U.S. citizen passenger and solicit the name and telephonenumber of a contact. Currently, this is required only of airlines. DOT is denying thepetition.

Comments of Air Line Pilots Association
The Air Line Pilots Association, International represents 63,000 pilots who fly for 40 airlines domestically and in Canada. This correspondence relates to the recent notice (Docket No. OST-1995-950) published in the Federal Register on October 19, 2005 regarding the Notice of Request for Extension of a Previously Approved Collection.
ALPA wholeheartedly supports the Department of Transportation's intention to request an extension without change of a previously approved information collection related to the requirement that certificated air carriers and large foreign carriers collect the full name of each U.S. citizen traveling on flight segments to or from the United States and solicit a contact name and telephone number.
Undoubtedly, the collection of such information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Department and provides practical utility, particularly in the unlikely event of an air disaster.
