Price Advertising

This document withdraws the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that sought comments on whether and, if so, how the Department should amend 14 CFR 399.84, its air-transportation price-advertising rule. As a matter of enforcement policy, the Department has long allowed limited exceptions to the strict terms of the rule. The NPRM called for comments on several options: Maintain the current practice with or without codifying all of its elements in the rule, enforce the rule as written, revise the rule to eliminate most or all requirements for airfare advertisements but to specify that consumers must be told the total price before any purchase is made, or eliminate the rule altogether. The Department has decided based on the comments that the public interest will best be served by maintaining the status quo.
