-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board
(Access Board or Board), jointly with the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT), is hosting a virtual public meeting to obtain
further information on the Access Board's proposed advisory guidelines
for aircraft onboard wheelchairs (OBW) issued on August 20, 2019, and
the portion of DOT's notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) issued on
January 2, 2020 that relates to OBW performance standards. DOT's
January 2, 2020 NPRM proposed OBW performance standards as one of
various measures for improving accessibility of lavatories on single-
aisle aircraft for passengers with disabilities. The Board's draft
advisory guidelines provided technical specifications for an OBW that
would serve as one means of complying with DOT's proposed performance
standards for OBW. This public meeting will serve as a forum for the
Access Board and DOT to jointly gather additional information on their
respective proposed OBW advisory guidelines and proposed OBW
performance standards. A proposed rule from DOT relating to this public
meeting and reopening of the comment period on its NPRM containing OBW
performance standards is published elsewhere in this issue of the
Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In April 2016, DOT established and appointed members to the
Advisory Committee on Accessible Air Transportation (ACCESS Advisory
Committee or Committee) to negotiate and develop proposed regulations
addressing, among other things, accessible lavatories on single-aisle
aircraft.\1\ During the first meeting, DOT committed to the Committee
that if it came to a consensus on the terms of a proposed rule and the
Department does not cast a dissenting vote on the consensus product,
DOT would exercise good faith efforts to issue a proposed rule
reflecting that consensus to the extent possible. The Committee
gathered data, conducted meetings and site visits, and engaged in
negotiations from May 2016 through November 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ A full list of ACCESS Advisory Committee members and other
information on the Committee may be found at <a href="https://www.transportation.gov/access-advisory-committee">https://www.transportation.gov/access-advisory-committee</a> ; see also <a href="https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=DOT-OST-2015-0246">https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=DOT-OST-2015-0246</a> (ACCESS Advisory
Committee docket).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 22, 2016, the ACCESS Advisory Committee reached
consensus on recommendations for new regulatory proposals to improve
the accessibility of lavatories on single-aisle aircraft and the
Department does not cast a dissenting
[[Page 64894]]
vote.\2\ The accessible lavatory Term Sheet included agreements for
both short-term and long-term accessibility improvements. The short-
term improvements would be required on new single-aisle aircraft
delivered three years after the effective date of the DOT final rule
that implements the agreement. The short-term improvements included a
proposed requirement that single-aisle aircraft with 125 or more
passenger seats would have at least one lavatory with a number of
accessibility features, including accessible door locks, flush handles,
call buttons, faucets, and assist handles. Single-aisle aircraft with
125 or more passenger seats would also be required to include an OBW
that: (1) Permits passage in the aircraft aisle; (2) fits within an
available certificated OBW stowage space; and (3) accomplishes its
functions without requiring modification to the interior arrangement of
the aircraft or the lavatory. The Term Sheet called on the DOT to
``consult with advocates, airlines, aircraft manufacturers,
manufacturers of OBW, flight attendant association(s) and other
stakeholders in developing these standards,'' and to ``include the
proposed new standards for an OBW and replacement of OBW on existing
aircraft as described above in its notice of proposed rulemaking.'' \3\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOT determined that the most appropriate method for developing
initial OBW design standards was to seek technical assistance from the
Access Board, the federal agency that specializes in producing
accessible design specifications for the built environment,
transportation systems, information and communication technology, and
medical diagnostic equipment.\4\ See 29 U.S.C. 792. In response to
DOT's request, on August 20, 2019, the Access Board published in the
Federal Register ``Proposed Advisory Guidelines for Aircraft Onboard
Wheelchairs,'' and sought public comment.\5\ The Access Board's
guidelines provide design criteria for onboard wheelchair seats, back
support, armrests, footrests, movement, stowage, stability, loads,
caster wheels, assist handles, and torso and leg restraints. These
guidelines provided for the OBW to be backed fully into the lavatory
and positioned over the closed toilet so that the lavatory door can be
completely closed. The guidelines also provided for the OBW to be
maneuvered partially into lavatories in a forward direction to allow
users the option to make a stand-and-pivot transfer to the toilet.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Access Board held a public hearing on these advisory guidelines
on September 12, 2019. In response to its proposed guidelines, the
Access Board received over 40 comments from various interest groups and
stakeholders, including people with disabilities, advocacy groups,
aircraft manufacturers, trade associations, manufacturers of onboard
wheelchairs, researchers, and others.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Docket No. ATBCB-2019-0002 at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov/docket/ATBCB-2019-0002">https://www.regulations.gov/docket/ATBCB-2019-0002</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On January 2, 2020, DOT published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) titled ``Accessible Lavatories on Single-Aisle Aircraft: Part
1.'' \7\ This NPRM included proposals for short-term improvements to
lavatory accessibility, including new proposed requirements for OBWs.
In developing its own proposed rules for OBWs, DOT started with the
Access Board's design-based guidelines and adapted them into more
flexible performance standards. The performance standards were designed
to allow manufacturers to find efficient and innovative means for
meeting performance expectations. At the same time, the proposed rule
states that airlines may use the Access Board's advisory guidelines for
technical assistance in furnishing an OBW that meets the DOT's
performance standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See 85 FR 27; <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/01/02/2019-27631/accessible-lavatories-on-single-aisle-aircraft-part-1">https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/01/02/2019-27631/accessible-lavatories-on-single-aisle-aircraft-part-1</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under the proposed rule, OBWs meeting the new standards must be
installed on new single-aisle aircraft with an FAA-certificated maximum
capacity of 125 seats or more that enter service three years after the
effective date of a final rule issued by DOT in this proceeding. The
proposed rule would require the OBW to be designed in such a manner as
to enable the OBW to completely enter the lavatory in a backward
orientation. Specifically, the rule would require the OBW to fit over
the closed toilet lid in a manner that permits the lavatory door to
close completely. It is anticipated that the attendant would push the
OBW backward into the lavatory by means of handles on the front of the
OBW. After the OBW is situated over the closed toilet lid, the door
would be closed and the passenger would be able to perform non-
toileting lavatory functions in privacy.
The proposed rule would also require that the OBW be designed such
that it could, at a minimum, partially enter the lavatory in a forward
orientation. The purpose of this provision is to facilitate a stand-
and-pivot maneuver from the OBW to the toilet seat, for passengers who
are able to do so. With a stand-and-pivot maneuver, the passenger would
partially enter the lavatory by means of the OBW, stand up, and pivot
180 degrees to reach the toilet seat.
The proposed OBW rule also contained safety elements. For example,
the rule would require that the height of the OBW seat must align with
the height of the aircraft seat to the maximum extent practicable, in
order to permit a safe transfer between the OBW and the aircraft seat.
The rule would require the wheels of the OBW to lock in the direction
of travel, in order to avoid contact with aircraft seats and other
obstructions as it moves down the aisle. Any other moving parts of the
OBW would need to be capable of being secured such that they do not
move while the occupied onboard wheelchair is being maneuvered. The
wheels would also be required to lock in place so as to provide
stability during transfers. The OBW would be required not to tip or
fall in any direction under normal operating conditions when occupied
for use.
The OBW would also be required to have a padded seat and backrest,
in order to preserve skin integrity, and to prevent spasticity and
injury.\8\ The rule would also require the OBW to be free of sharp or
abrasive components. The OBW would also be required to have arm
supports that are sufficient to facilitate transfers; arm supports that
are repositionable to permit unobstructed transfers between the OBW and
the aircraft seat; torso and leg restraints to ensure stability and
prevent injury; as well as a unitary foot support that would provide
adequate clearance over the lavatory threshold and also allow for an
unobstructed transfer between the OBW and the lavatory. Under the
proposed rule, restraints would be operable by the passenger in order
to permit the passenger the option to adjust the restraints unassisted.
Finally, the rule would require the OBW to have instructions
prominently displayed for proper use.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ DOT specifically sought comment on whether the proposed rule
text adequately conveys the degree of back support and seat support
necessary to properly accommodate passengers with disabilities, and
if not, whether additional standards should be specified.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In keeping with the ACCESS Advisory Committee's Term Sheet,
airlines would
[[Page 64895]]
not be required to modify aircraft interiors, including lavatories and
existing OBW stowage spaces, in order to comply with these OBW
provisions. DOT sought comment on all aspects of this critical issue of
OBW stowage space. Specifically, DOT sought further data regarding: (1)
The folded dimensions of OBWs currently in use on single-aisle
aircraft; (2) the locations and dimensions of current OBW stowage
spaces; and (3) the feasibility of designing and constructing an OBW
that meets the listed performance standards, particularly including the
ability to enter the lavatory in a backward orientation, while fitting
into the existing OBW stowage space for that aircraft. DOT also sought
comment on an alternative proposal: Whether to require OBWs to meet the
new performance standards set forth in the NPRM even if stowage space
must be expanded to accommodate the OBW. DOT sought comment on the
costs of expanding OBW stowage spaces to meet these performance
standards.
Again, in keeping with the ACCESS Advisory Committee's Term Sheet,
the proposed rule provided that an airline would not be responsible for
the failure of third parties to furnish an OBW that complies with these
proposed standards, so long as the airline notifies and substantiates
to DOT the efforts it expended to obtain compliant OBWs. DOT recognized
that, at present, no commercially available OBW exists that permits
backward passage into an aircraft lavatory, and that while airlines may
seek to procure an OBW that meets DOT's performance standards, airlines
do not design or produce OBWs themselves.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ DOT sought comment on whether there should be a deadline for
an airline to notify DOT that the airline has expended its efforts
to obtain compliant OBWs, and if so, how many days after an airline
becomes aware of such commercial unavailability (e.g., 30 days)
would be appropriate for airlines to notify DOT. DOT also recognized
the uncertainties surrounding the issue of whether OBWs meeting
DOT's new standards can fit within existing OBW stowage spaces. The
intent of the proposal was to encourage innovation in meeting the
proposed standards by affirmatively requiring airlines to engage in
reasonable efforts to obtain compliant OBWs from third parties. DOT
sought comment on whether the ``reasonable efforts'' clause is the
most appropriate means of reaching the overarching goal of ensuring
that OBWs with the new accessibility features are acquired.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, the proposed rule provided that if an airline replaces an
OBW on an aircraft with an FAA-certificated maximum capacity of 125
seats or more three years after the effective date of the rule, then
the replacement OBW must comply with DOT's new OBW standards. DOT
sought comment on all aspects of the OBW proposal, including costs,
benefits, and feasibility.
The comment period to the NPRM closed on March 2, 2020. DOT
received relatively few comments about OBW design, and almost no
comments that estimated the costs of developing or manufacturing an OBW
that would comply with the standards set forth in the proposed rule.
Certain disability advocates argued, among other things, that DOT's OBW
standards should have tracked more closely the Access Board's design
standards.\10\ Representatives of the airline industry contended that
DOT failed to take into account considerations such as aviation safety
and the impact on flight attendants of unpacking, using, and stowing
the OBW while in flight.\11\ They also argued that DOT failed to
adequately consult with stakeholders before issuing its OBW
proposal.\12\ DOT received no comments from OBW manufacturers.

Announcement of Public Meeting
Under these circumstances, the Access Board and DOT are jointly of
the view that it is appropriate to hold a public hearing to gather
additional information on the OBW design from disability advocates,
airlines, aircraft manufacturers, manufacturers of OBWs, flight
attendant associations, and other stakeholders. Specifically, the
Access Board seeks information on OBW loads and caster wheel size that
will help it finalize its advisory guidelines for OBWs. DOT seeks
comment on all aspects of OBW design before issuing any final binding
regulation on the topic.
Questions Relating to Access Board's Proposed Voluntary Design
Standards
The Access Board is seeking additional information regarding OBW
loads and OBW casters.
Onboard Wheelchair Loads
The overall weight capacity or load of current OBW varies greatly
and ranges from approximately 200 to 800 pounds. In trying to determine
the appropriate load, the Access Board looked to its Guidelines for
Aircraft Boarding Chairs (1987), which recommend that seats support at
least 723 pounds (weight of a 99th percentile male with a 3.0 safety
factor). See <a href="https://www.access-board.gov/research/completed-research/guidelines-for-aircraft-boarding-chairs">https://www.access-board.gov/research/completed-research/guidelines-for-aircraft-boarding-chairs</a>. Using updated anthropometrics,
the weight of a 99th percentile male with a 3.0 safety factor would be
826 pounds. See Department of Health and Human Service Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention's Anthropometric Reference Data for
Children and Adults: United States, 2011-2014, Table 6, Line 1 (Aug.
2016). However, the boarding chair (used to transfer passengers from
their personal wheelchairs to the airplane seat) differs from the
proposed OBW in that a boarding chair does not need to fold for storage
on the aircraft or fit over the seat of a toilet in a cantilever
design.
The Board is not aware of existing industry standards for OBW that
are designed to allow over-the-toilet positioning. In its proposed
advisory guidelines, the Board reserved provisions for loads pending
further information as to what loads are appropriate for an OBW design
that accomplishes the proposed functions.
The Board received comments from the public, including aircraft
manufacturers, recommending that the Board's guidelines reference load
specifications in SAE International's standard entitled, ``Foldable On-
Board Wheelchairs for Passengers with Disabilities,'' ARP 4120C
(Stabilized 2013).'' The SAE standard specifies loads for onboard
wheelchair seats, seat backs, arm and foot supports, wheels, and assist
handles.
Based on its review of the comments on the proposed guidelines, the
Board is considering referencing the SAE International's standard for
loads for seats (3.2.9.1), arm supports (3.2.9.3), foot support
(3.2.9.4), casters (3.2.9.2), and assist handles of onboard wheelchairs
(3.2.9.6). The Board seeks comment on whether the loads specified in
the SAE International ARP 4120C Standard are appropriate for an onboard
wheelchair design that allows the chair to be positioned over the
closed lavatory toilet. SAE International has made these referenced
provisions publicly available without cost (read-only, not for
distribution) until the close of the comment period on January 17,
2022, at: <a href="https://www.sae.org/binaries/content/assets/cm/content/standards/arp4120c_review.pdf">https://www.sae.org/binaries/content/assets/cm/content/standards/arp4120c_review.pdf</a>.
In addition to comments on loads stated in the above-referenced SAE
International standard, the Access Board seeks information on
alternative appropriate standards for OBW loads.
Onboard Wheelchair Casters (Size)
The draft advisory guidelines require that caster wheels of onboard
wheelchairs move independently to facilitate maneuvering within the
confined space of aircraft aisles and
[[Page 64896]]
lavatories. For safety and stability, the guidelines also require each
caster to have wheel locks and swivel locks. In its proposal, the Board
sought comment on whether the guidelines should specify a minimum size
for caster wheels so that they are large enough to readily traverse
thresholds at lavatory entrances. Commenters recommended that the
guidelines specify a performance requirement instead of a minimum
caster size. However, the threshold at the lavatory entrance may
significantly impact an assistant's ability to back the occupied OBW
into the lavatory using the front assist handles and to pull it back
out.
The Access Board requests information on the minimum caster wheel
diameter that would ensure stability of the occupied OBW and allow the
chair to easily traverse the lavatory doorway threshold when propelled
using solely the front assist handles. The Board also requests
information on the standard height of lavatory thresholds on single-
aisle aircraft with 125 or more passenger seats.
Questions Relating to DOT's NPRM Regarding OBW Design
In a notice published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal
Register, DOT seeks further information on all aspects of its NPRM
relating to OBW design, including but not limited to:
<bullet> Whether the proposed OBW design elements adequately
address accessibility concerns;
<bullet> The cost and feasibility of designing, manufacturing, and
implementing compliant OBWs;
<bullet> The cost of developing and implementing procedures for
training crew in unloading, using, and stowing the OBW;
<bullet> The dimensions of current OBW stowage spaces in single-
aisle aircraft;
<bullet> Whether OBWs that meet DOT's proposed accessibility
standards can be stowed in existing stowage spaces; and
<bullet> Aviation safety considerations relating to unloading,
using, and stowing the OBW while in flight.
Invitation for the Submission of Additional Written Comments
The Access Board encourages stakeholders, including disability
advocates, airlines, aircraft manufacturers, manufacturers of OBWs,
flight attendant associations, public meeting participants, and others
to submit written comments to the regulatory docket on its proposed OBW
advisory guidelines, oral testimony or written materials discussed at
the public hearing, or related matters, during the supplemental period
for comment from December 16, 2021 to January 17, 2022.
