Computer Reservations System (CRS) Regulations
The Department is granting a request by the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) that ASTA be allowed to withdraw its petition for a rulemaking to amend the Department's rules on computer reservations systems (CRSs). ASTA had asked the Department to amend its CRS rules (14 CFR Part 255) to include a prohibition against the inclusion of lost booking fees in the damages recoverable by a CRS vendor when a travel agency breaches its contract for CRS services before the end of the contract's term. ASTA is now asking the Department for leave to withdraw its petition on the ground that the largest CRS vendor has agreed to change its CRS contract practices in a way which will eliminate ASTA's need for a rulemaking.
