-----------------------------------------------------------------------

published a final rule to amend the Department's Air Carrier Access Act
(ACAA) regulation on the transport of service animals by air in the

omission of an example in the applicability section of the rule text by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When the Department amended the
applicability section, 14 CFR 382.7, of its ACAA regulation on the
transport of service animals, it inadvertently failed to instruct the
Federal Register to retain the example scenario that followed the
regulatory text in 14 CFR 382.7(c). This document corrects this error
by reinstating the example after the amended regulatory text in 14 CFR
382.7(c).
List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 382
Air carriers, Civil rights, Consumer protection, Individuals with
disabilities, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
Accordingly, the Department of Transportation is amending 14 CFR
part 382 by making the following correcting amendment:
PART 382--NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF DISABILITY IN AIR
TRAVEL
0
1. The authority citation for part 382 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 41705.
0
2. In Sec. 382.7 amend paragraph (c) by adding example 1 to paragraph
(c) to read as follows:
Sec. 382.7 To whom do the provisions of this part apply?
* * * * *
(c) * * *
Example 1 to paragraph (c): A passenger buys a ticket from a U.S.
carrier for a journey from New York to Prague. The ticket carries the
U.S. carrier's code and flight number throughout the entire journey.
There is a change of carrier and aircraft in Frankfurt, and a foreign
carrier operates the Frankfurt-Prague segment. The foreign carrier is
not subject to the provisions of Part 382 for the Frankfurt-Prague
segment. However, the U.S. carrier must ensure compliance with the
applicable provisions of Part 382 on the Frankfurt-Prague segment with
respect to passengers flying under its code, and the Department could
take enforcement action against the U.S. carrier for acts or omissions
by the foreign carrier.

Issued under authority delegated in 49 CFR 1.27(n).

Acting General Counsel.
