14 CFR Part 243

[Docket No. OST-95-950]
RIN 2105-AB78


Passenger Manifest Information

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OST), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: DOT published a rule on February 18, 1998, requiring 
certificated air carriers and large foreign air carriers to collect the 
full name of each U.S.-citizen traveling on flight segments to or from 
the United States and solicit a contact name and telephone number. This 
document corrects a technical error in one section of the rule language 
to make clear that petitions requesting a waiver from the rule because 
of conflicts with foreign law should be filed by October 1, 1998, or on 
or before beginning service between that country and the United States.

DATE: This rule is effective March 20, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joanne Petrie, Office of the General 
Counsel, DOT, (202) 366-9306.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 18, 1998, DOT published a final 
rule (63 FR 8258) concerning passenger manifest requirements. This 
document corrects a technical error in paragraph (b) of Sec. 243.15. 
The February 18, 1998, version states that petitions requesting waivers 
should be filed, ``on or before the effective date of this rule, or on 
or before beginning service between that country and United States.'' 
The reference to effective date is incorrect and is being replaced by 
the phrase, ``October 1, 1998.''
    Accordingly, the Department is correcting the rule published 
February 18, 1998, as follows:
    On page 8282 in the second column in Sec. 243.15(b), the phrase 
``the effective date of this rule'' is corrected to read, ``October 1, 
1998.''

    Issued in Washington, DC, on February 19, 1998.
Nancy E. McFadden,
General Counsel.
