Table of Contents Supplementary Information: Background Significant/Priority Rulemakings Explanation of Information on the Agenda Request for Comments Purpose Appendix A - Instructions for Obtaining Copies of Regulatory Documents Appendix B - General Rulemaking Contact Persons Appendix C - Public Rulemaking Dockets Appendix D - Review Plans for Section 610 and Other Requirements Agenda SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Improvement of our regulations is a prime goal of the Department of Transportation (Department or DOT). There should be no more regulations than necessary and those that are issued should be simpler, more comprehensible, and less burdensome. Regulations should not be issued without appropriate involvement of the public; once issued, they should be periodically reviewed and revised, as needed, to assure that they continue to meet the needs for which they originally were designed. To help the Department achieve these goals and in accordance with Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735; October 4, 1993) and the Department's Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979), the Department prepares a semiannual regulatory agenda. It summarizes all current and projected rulemaking, reviews of existing regulations, and completed actions of the Department. These are matters on which action has begun or is projected during the succeeding 12 months or such longer period as may be anticipated or for which action has been completed since the last agenda. The agendas are based on reports submitted by the offices initiating the rulemaking and are reviewed by the Department Regulations Council. The Department's last agenda was published in the Federal Register on December 9, 2002 (67 FR 74799). The next one is scheduled for publication in the Federal Register in fall 2003. Under the Homeland Security Act of 2002, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and their regulatory authority, have been transferred to the new Department of Homeland Security (DHS). See DHS agency code 1625 for USCG and 1652 for TSA. The Department has created an Internet site that provides general information about its rulemaking responsibilities and activities. This information includes a status report on all significant DOT rulemakings that is updated monthly. The web address for this site is http://regs.dot.gov. Significant/Priority Rulemakings The agenda covers all rules and regulations of the Department. We have classified rules as a DOT agency priority in the agenda if they are, essentially, very costly, controversial, or of substantial public interest under our Regulatory Policies and Procedures. All DOT agency priority rulemaking documents are subject to review by the Secretary of Transportation. If the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) decides a rule is subject to its review under Executive Order 12866, we have classified it as significant in the agenda. Explanation of Information on the Agenda The format for this agenda is required by a spring 2003 memorandum from the Office of Management and Budget. First, the agenda is divided by initiating offices. Then, the agenda is divided into five categories: (1) prerule stage, (2) proposed rule stage, (3) final rule stage, (4) long-term actions, and (5) completed actions. For each entry, the agenda provides the following information: (1) its ``significance''; (2) a short descriptive title; (3) its legal basis; (4) the related regulatory citation in the Code of Federal Regulations; (5) any legal deadline and, if so, for what action (e.g., NPRM, final rule); (6) an abstract; (7) a timetable, including the earliest expected date for a decision on whether to take the action; (8) whether the rulemaking will affect small entities and/or levels of government and, if so, which categories; (9) whether a Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) analysis is required (for rules that would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities); (10) a listing of any analyses an office will prepare or has prepared for the action (With minor exceptions, DOT requires an economic analysis for all its rulemakings.); (11) an agency contact office or official who can provide further information; (12) a Regulation [[Page 30605]] Identifier Number (RIN) assigned to identify an individual rulemaking in the agenda and facilitate tracing further action on the issue; (13) whether the action is subject to the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act; (14) whether the action is subject to the Energy Act; and (15) whether the action is major under the congressional review provisions of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. If there is information that does not fit in the other categories, it will be included under a separate heading entitled ``Additional Information.'' For nonsignificant regulations issued routinely and frequently as a part of an established body of technical requirements (such as the Federal Aviation Administration's Airspace Rules), to keep those requirements operationally current, we only include the general category of the regulations, the identity of a contact office or official, and an indication of the expected number of regulations; we do not list individual regulations. In the ``Timetable'' column, we use abbreviations to indicate the particular documents being considered. ANPRM stands for Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, SNPRM for Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and NPRM for Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Listing a future date in this column does not mean we have made a decision to issue a document; it is the earliest date on which we expect to make a decision on whether to issue it. In addition, these dates are based on current schedules. Information received subsequent to the issuance of this agenda could result in a decision not to take regulatory action or in changes to proposed publication dates. For example, the need for further evaluation could result in a later publication date; evidence of a greater need for the regulation could result in an earlier publication date. Finally, a dot ([sbull]) preceding an entry indicates that the entry appears in the agenda for the first time. Request for Comments General Our agenda is intended primarily for the use of the public. Since its inception, we have made modifications and refinements that we believe provide the public with more helpful information, as well as make the agenda easier to use. We would like you, the public, to make suggestions or comments on how the agenda could be further improved. Reviews We also seek your suggestions on which of our existing regulations you believe need to be reviewed to determine whether they should be revised or revoked. We particularly draw your attention to the Department's review plan in Appendix D. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Department is especially interested in obtaining information on requirements that have a ``significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities'' and, therefore, must be reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. If you have any suggested regulations, please submit them to us, along with your explanation of why they should be reviewed. In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, comments are specifically invited on regulations that we have targeted for review under section 610 of the Act. The phrase (Section 610 Review) appears at the end of the title for these reviews. Please see Appendix D for the Department's section 610 review plans. Federalism Executive Order 13132 requires us to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.'' ``Policies that have federalism implications'' are defined in the Executive order to include regulations that have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, we encourage State and local governments to provide us with information about how the Department's rulemakings impact them. Purpose The Department is publishing this regulatory agenda in the Federal Register to share with interested members of the public the Department's preliminary expectations regarding its future regulatory actions. This should enable the public to be more aware of the Department's regulatory activity and should result in more effective public participation. This publication in the Federal Register does not impose any binding obligation on the Department or any of the offices within the Department with regard to any specific item on the agenda. Regulatory action, in addition to the items listed, is not precluded. Issued in Washington, DC, on March 25, 2003. Norman Y. Mineta, Secretary of Transportation.

Working Hours: 9-5. Appendix D - Review Plans for Section 610 and Other Requirements Part I - The Plan General The Department of Transportation has long recognized the importance of regularly reviewing its existing regulations to determine whether they need to be revised or revoked. Our 1979 Regulatory Policies and Procedures require such reviews. We also have responsibilities under E.O. 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Review'') and section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act to conduct such reviews. This will include the use of plain language techniques in new rules and to consider rewriting existing rules when we have the opportunity and resources permit. The Department is currently conducting a number of reviews of existing rules and is engaged in rulemaking actions resulting from these reviews. Section 610 Review Plan Section 610 requires that we conduct reviews of rules that (1) have been published within the last ten years and (2) have a ``significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities'' (SEIOSNOSE). It also requires that we publish in the Federal Register each year a list of any such rules that we will review during the next year. To better comply with section 610, the Department has updated its regulatory review plan published on June 29, 1981, to accomplish a more systematic review of all of its regulations. The Office of the Secretary and each of the Department's Operating Administrations (except for FMCSA) have a 10-year review plan. These reviews are in accordance with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Other Review Plans All elements of the Department, except for the FMCSA and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), have also elected to use this 10-year plan process to comply with the review requirements of the Department's Regulatory Policies and Procedures, and Executive Order 12866. FAA is using a different approach; FMCSA is reconsidering its past approach. The approaches of both are described in Part II to this Appendix. Changes to the Review Plan Some reviews may be conducted earlier than scheduled. For example, to the extent resources permit, the plain language reviews will be conducted more quickly. Other events, such as accidents, may result in the need to conduct earlier reviews of some rules. Other factors may also result in the need to make changes; for example, we may make changes in response to public comment on this plan or in response to a Presidentially mandated review. If there is any change to the review plan, we will note the change in the following [[Page 30607]] Unified Agenda. For any section 610 review, we will provide the required notice prior to the review. Part II - The Review Process The Analysis Generally, the agencies have divided their rules into 10 different groups and plan to analyze one group each year. For purposes of these reviews, a year will coincide with the fall-to- fall schedule for publication of the Agenda. Thus, Year 1 (1998) began in the fall of 1998 and ends in the fall of 1999; Year 2 (1999) begins in the fall of 1999 and ends in the fall of 2000; and so on. We request public comment on the timing of the reviews. For example, is there a reason for scheduling an analysis and review for a particular rule earlier than we have? Any comments concerning the plan or particular analyses can be submitted to the regulatory contacts listed in Appendix B, General Rulemaking Contact Persons. Section 610 Review The agency will analyze each of the rules in a given year's group to determine whether any rule has a SEIOSNOSE and, thus, requires review in accordance with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The level of analysis will, of course, depend on the nature of the rule and its applicability. Publication of agencies' section 610 analyses list each fall in this Agenda provides the public with notice and an opportunity to comment consistent with the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. We request that public comments be submitted to us early in the analysis year concerning the small entity impact of the rules to help us in making our determinations. In each Fall Agenda, the agency will publish the results of the analyses it has completed during the previous year. For rules that had a negative finding on SEIOSNOSE, we will give a short explanation (e.g., ``these rules only establish petition processes that have no cost impact'' or ``these rules do not apply to any small entities''). For parts, subparts or other discrete sections of rules that do have a SEIOSNOSE, we will announce that we will be conducting a formal section 610 review during the following 12 months. At this stage, we will add an entry to the Agenda in the prerulemaking section describing the review in more detail. We also will seek public comment on how best to lessen the impact of these rules and provide a name or docket to which public comments can be submitted. In some cases, the section 610 review may be part of another unrelated review of the rule. In such a case, we plan to clearly indicate which parts of the review are being conducted under section 610. Other Reviews The agency will also examine the specified rules to determine whether any other reasons exist for revising or revoking the rule or for rewriting the rule in plain language. In each Fall Agenda, the agency will also publish information on the results of the examinations completed during the previous year. FAA The Federal Aviation Administration, in addition to reviewing its rules in accordance with the schedule below, has established a process by which the public is asked for its comments on which rules need review the most. Any information that the FAA receives in connection with its annual section 610 analyses would, of course, also be reviewed in the spirit of E.O. 12866. In addition, in response to a recommendation of the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security, the FAA has completed a review of all its existing regulations to identify those in need of rewriting as performance-based or plain language regulations. The agency also reviewed ongoing regulatory projects and proposals to identify additional candidates for revision. In all, the agency reviewed 68 parts of the CFR, containing 3,884 sections, appendices, and Special Federal Aviation Regulations. In addition to using plain language in its current and future regulations, the FAA intends to revise those regulations identified in its study when it has the opportunity and resources to do so. FMCSA Due to a lack of resources that would be needed to conduct a zero-based review of its regulations, the FMCSA has decided to revisit its method of review. FMCSA now anticipates that its review process will be identified in the fall 2003 agenda. Part III- List of Pending Section 610 Reviews The Agenda identifies the pending DOT Section 610 Reviews by inserting ``(Section 610 Review)'' after the title for the specific entry. Also, a Governmentwide list of section 610 reviews can be located in an index at the end of the Agenda. For further information on the pending reviews, see the Agenda entries.

[sbull] 23 CFR part 200 -- Title VI program and related statutes- implementation and review procedures [sbull] Section 610: No SEIOSNOSE. These rules provide requirements and guidelines to State highway agencies to implement the Title VI Program requirement and do not impact small entities. [sbull] Plain language: FHWA's plain language review of these rules indicates no need for substantial revision; however, if it is necessary for the FHWA to update these rules, plain language techniques will be used. 23 CFR part 230 -- External equal employment opportunity programs [[Page 30612]] [sbull] Section 610: No SEIOSNOSE.

Year 5 (Fall 2002) List of rules to be analyzed during the next year 23 CFR part 420 -- Planning and research program administration 23 CFR part 460 -- Public road mileage for apportionment of highway safety funds 23 CFR part 470 -- Highway systems 23 CFR part 476 -- Interstate highway system Federal-Aid Highway Program The FHWA has adopted regulations in title 23 of the CFR, chapter I, related to the Federal-aid highway program. These regulations implement and carry out the provisions of Federal law relating to the administration of Federal aid for highways. The primary law authorizing Federal aid for highways is chapter 1 of title 23 of the USC. Section 145 of title 23 expressly provides that chapter 1 provides for a federally assisted State program. For this reason, the regulations adopted by the FHWA in title 23 of the CFR primarily relate to requirements that States must meet to receive Federal funds for the construction and other work related to highways. Because the regulations in title 23 primarily relate to States, which are not defined as small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the FHWA believes that its regulations in title 23 do not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The FHWA solicits public comment on this preliminary conclusion.

The requirements apply to ocean- going vessels and to coastal and inland water transportation. Most operators of ocean-going vessels are not small entities. Further, the requirements are consistent with international standards applicable to vessel transportation and, therefore, impose few additional costs of doing business on ocean-going vessels.

The review is designed to harmonize the Department's aviation data systems with current regulatory and statutory needs; improve the quality of the Department's aviation data bases; and eliminate obsolete data reporting and processing systems. The ANPRM was the first step in an outreach program to review aviation data collected by the Department and the measures that should be taken to modernize and improve aviation data reporting and processing systems. The Department solicited public comments from aviation data users on the nature, scope, source, and means for collecting, processing, and distributing airline traffic, fare, and financial data. Specifically, the Department invited comments to determine whether existing aviation data should be amended, supplemented, or replaced; whether selected forms and reports should be retained, modified, or eliminated; whether the Department should require all aviation data to be filed electronically; and how the aviation data system should be reengineered to enhance efficiency and to reduce costs for both the Department and airline industry. The Department has reviewed the comments and reply comments and is in the process of redefining the data elements and restructuring the data reporting requirements to be included in an NPRM. This action is significant due to substantial public and industry interest.

[rplus]COMPUTER RESERVATIONS SYSTEM REGULATIONS COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW Priority: Other Significant Legal Authority: 49 USC 41712; 49 USC 40101(a); 49 USC 40113(a); 49 USC 40105 CFR Citation: 14 CFR 255; 14 CFR 399 Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, December 31, 1997. Abstract: The Department regulates computer reservations systems owned by airlines or airline affiliates that are used by travel agencies. The current rules are designed to prevent the systems from unreasonably prejudicing the competitive position of other airlines and to ensure that travel agencies can provide accurate and unbiased information to the public. The Department is reexamining its rules to see whether they should be readopted and, if so, whether they should be changed in response to greater use of the Internet in airline reservations and ticketing and changes in the industry. The Department is also reviewing its policies on the requirements for advertising fares by airline travel agencies that charge fees for brokering airline tickets. As part of this action, we will be looking at ways to lessen impacts on small entities. Statement of Need: The Department's existing rules require the Department to reexamine whether the rules are necessary and effective. In addition, two developments since the Department's last review of rules necessitate a reexamination. Those developments are the growing role of the Internet in airline distribution and the decline in airline control of the systems. A number of airlines obtain a large share of their bookings from their own Web sites, online travel agencies account for a significant share of all airline bookings, and the two largest systems operating in the United States are not owned by any airline. Summary of Legal Basis: The Department has the authority under 49 U.S.C. 41712 to prohibit unfair and deceptive practices and unfair methods of competition in the sale of air transportation by airlines and ticket agents. The Department accordingly may prohibit conduct by airlines and [[Page 30634]] ticket agents that is likely to cause deception or violate the antitrust laws or antitrust principles. The original CRS rules were affirmed in United Air Lines v. CAB, 766 F.2d 1107 (7th Cir. 1985). Alternatives: The Department will consider alternatives ranging from allowing some or all of the rules to expire at their sunset date to readopting the rules with some additional provisions. The Department has issued two advance notices of proposed rulemaking asking for comment on whether the rules remain necessary in light of the developments in airline distribution and the systems' declining airline control and on whether rules are necessary for governing the sale of airline services through the Internet. The rules can be phased out or eliminated, along with comment on whether the rules should be strengthened in several respects raised by the comments on the advance notices of proposed rulemaking. Anticipated Cost and Benefits: The Department will include a preliminary regulatory evaluation in its notice of proposed rulemaking. Risks: The Department found in its last overall review of the rules that the systems had the ability and potential incentives to engage in conduct that could prejudice airline competition and cause consumers and their travel agents to receive misleading and inaccurate information on airline services. Systems could also engage in practices that would deny airlines and travel agencies a reasonable opportunity to use alternative electronic services that would provide information and booking capabilities. The rules may also impose costs on the systems and airlines. The Department will ask for comment on whether the risks still exist and, if so, whether the costs imposed by the rules outweigh the benefits provided by the rules.

On September 8, 2000, DOT issued a second SNPRM seeking comments on an airport concessions subpart to part 26. The SNPRM took into account comments on the May 1997 SNPRM, adapted provisions of the rest of part 26 to the concessions context, and proposed options for provisions affecting car rental operations at airports. These options were based in part on a memorandum of understanding between the American Car Rental Association and the Airport Minority Advisory Council making recommendations to the Department on this aspect of the rulemaking. This SNPRM was inadvertently published under RIN 2105-AB92. This rule would respond to comments on the September 8, 2000, SNPRM and establish a revised 49 CFR part 23.

NONDISCRIMINATION IN FEDERALLY ASSISTED PROGRAMS Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 794; 42 USC 2000d to 2000d-7; 42 USC 6101 to 6107; EO 12250 CFR Citation: 49 CFR 21; 49 CFR 27 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: This rule would amend DOT's regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of ``program or activity'' and ``program'' to title VI and added a definition of ``program or activity'' to section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act. The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes. The promulgation of this regulation would incorporate the CRRA's definition of ``program or activity'' and ``program'' into title VI, section 504, and the Age Discrimination Act regulations. This regulation would also promote consistency and enforceability of these statutes. This is a joint rulemaking with other Federal agencies.

POLICY STATEMENT ON AIRLINE PREEMPTION Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 49 USC 41713 CFR Citation: 14 CFR 399 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: The Civil Aeronautics Board in 1979 issued an interim Policy Statement on preemption. It discusses the policy of the Department with respect to three areas in which State law has been preempted by the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978: Regulation of commuter air carriers and air taxis, the rights of airport proprietors, and general State authority as it directly or indirectly affects air transportation competition. The Supreme Court has classified that section 105 of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) preempts even indirect State regulation that ``has a connection with or reference to'' airline rates, routes, or services, but does not preempt State contract law with respect to interpretation and enforcement of agreements voluntarily entered into by air carriers. Other courts continue to issue decisions applying this provision to a multitude of different circumstances. The Department believes that this process of exploring the interpretation of section 105 will continue, and is considering the admissibility of terminating this proceeding.

On October 21, 1988, the Department issued an NPRM (53 FR 41353) in response to concerns raised by travel agents concerning rebating of international airline prices. The NPRM proposed to establish an enforcement policy concerning the rebating of international airline prices, as a policy statement, in the regulations on aviation proceeding. Since publication of the NPRM, many conditions in the airline industry related to rebating have changed. For example, the United States has increasingly negotiated with success for liberal pricing regimes in our bilateral agreements with foreign nations. Therefore, the Department believes that the proposed enforcement policy is no longer necessary and is withdrawing the 1988 NPRM.
