ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:

The Department of
Transportation is amending its
regulations by extending the compliance
date from January 1, 2018, to January 1,
2019, for the provision concerning
reporting of baggage handling statistics
in the Department’s final rule on
enhancing airline passenger protections.
This extension is necessary to ensure
consistency with the change of
compliance date for the Department’s
final rule on reporting of data for
mishandled baggage and wheelchairs.
DATES: This final rule is effective March
22, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 3, 2016, the Department of
Transportation published a final rule in
the Federal Register (81 FR 76800),
titled ‘‘Enhancing Airline Passenger
Protections III’’ (RIN 2105–AE11). This
rule, among other things, expands the
pool of carriers that must report airline
service and performance data from any
carrier that accounts for at least 1% of
domestic scheduled passenger revenue
to any carrier that accounts for at least
0.5% of domestic scheduled passenger
revenue. It also requires reporting
carriers to separately report airline
service and performance data for their
domestic scheduled flights operated by
their code-share partners. This means
that, under the November 2016 final

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 22, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
rule, for air transportation taking place
on or after January 1, 2018, airlines that
account for at least 0.5% of domestic
scheduled passenger revenue must
provide airline service and performance
data for flights they operate and
separately for flights held out with their
designator code and operated by their
code-share partners. The airline service
and performance data that is required
consists of on-time performance,
mishandled baggage and oversales data.
On March 2, 2017, the Department
issued a rule extending the compliance
date of its final rule on reporting of data
for mishandled baggage and wheelchairs
in aircraft cargo compartments to
January 1, 2019. That final rule
addressed the methodology for
collection of mishandled baggage
information and required separate
statistics for mishandled wheelchairs
and scooters used by passengers with
disabilities. The change to the matrix on
how to report mishandled baggage and
to provide separate reporting of
mishandled wheelchairs and scooters
was incorporated into the Department’s
Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections
III final rule. As such, this document is
extending the compliance date to
January 1, 2019 for the provision
concerning baggage handling statistics
in the Department’s final rule on
enhancing airline passenger protections.
The compliance date for the
requirements pertaining to on-time
performance and oversales remain
unchanged.
As is the case today, until January 1,
2019, airlines that account for at least
1% of domestic scheduled passenger
revenue will continue to provide
mishandled baggage data only for flights
they operate based on the number of
Mishandled Baggage Reports and the
number of domestic passenger
enplanement. Airlines that account for
at least 0.5% but less than 1% of the
domestic scheduled passenger revenue
are not required to provide mishandled
baggage data until February 15, 2019 for
air transportation taking place on or
after January 1, 2019. Separate statistics
for mishandled wheelchairs and
scooters used by passengers with
disabilities and transported in aircraft
cargo compartment are not required
until January 1, 2019.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Navy
32 CFR Part 706
Certifications and Exemptions Under
the International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972
AGENCY:
ACTION:

Department of the Navy, DoD.

Final rule.

The Department of the Navy
(DoN) is amending its certifications and
exemptions under the International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at
Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), to reflect that
the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (DAJAG) (Admiralty and
Maritime Law) has determined that USS
PORTLAND (LPD 27) is a vessel of the
Navy which, due to its special
construction and purpose, cannot fully
comply with certain provisions of the 72
COLREGS without interfering with its
special function as a naval ship. The
intended effect of this rule is to warn
mariners in waters where 72 COLREGS
apply.

SUMMARY:

This rule is effective March 22,
2017 and is applicable beginning March
2, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Commander Theron R. Korsak,
(Admiralty and Maritime Law), Office of
the Judge Advocate General, Department
of the Navy, 1322 Patterson Ave. SE.,
Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, DC
20374–5066, telephone 202–685–5040.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the authority granted in 33 U.S.C.
1605, the DoN amends 32 CFR part 706.
This amendment provides notice that
the DAJAG (Admiralty and Maritime
Law), under authority delegated by the
Secretary of the Navy, has certified that
USS PORTLAND (LPD 27) is a vessel of
the Navy which, due to its special
construction and purpose, cannot fully
comply with the following specific
provisions of 72 COLREGS without
interfering with its special function as a
naval ship: Annex I paragraph 2(i)(i),
Rule 27(a)(i) and (b)(i), pertaining to the
placement of all-round task lights in a
vertical line; Annex I, paragraph 3(a),
pertaining to the horizontal distance
between the forward and after masthead
lights; and Annex I, paragraph 2(k) as
described in Rule 30(a)(i), pertaining to
the vertical separation between anchor
lights. The DAJAG (Admiralty and
Maritime Law) has also certified that the
lights involved are located in closest
possible compliance with the applicable
72 COLREGS requirements.
Moreover, it has been determined, in
accordance with 32 CFR parts 296 and
701, that publication of this amendment
for public comment prior to adoption is
impracticable, unnecessary, and
DATES:

contrary to public interest since it is
based on technical findings that the
placement of lights on this vessel in a
manner differently from that prescribed
herein will adversely affect the vessel’s
ability to perform its military functions.
