Posting of Flight Delay Data on Web Sites
This direct final rule amends the time period for uploading flight performance information to an air carrier's Web site from anytime between the 20th and 23rd day of the month to the fourth Saturday of the month. The intended effect of this rule is to provide regulatory relief to industry by allowing carriers to follow standard industry practice of updating flight information such as schedule changes on Saturday. This action is necessary to address difficulties concerning implementation and compliance with the requirement to post flight delay data on carriers' Web sites. Moreover, this change would further the Department's goal of having all carriers upload flight information at the same time, thus ensuring passengers are comparing flight performance data from the same time period. The amendment contained in this rule is a minor substantive change, in the public interest, and unlikely to result in adverse comment.
