Reporting Requirements for Traveling by Air with Service Animals

The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA, 49 U.S.C. § 41705) prohibits discriminatory treatment of persons with disabilities in air transportation. On December 2, 2020, the Department issued a final rule to amend the its ACAA regulation on the transport of service animals to ensure that our air transportation system is safe for the traveling public and accessible to individuals with disabilities. The information collection requirements in this rule allow airlines to collect from passengers traveling with service animals a U.S. Department of Transportation Service Animal Air Transportation Form and, if applicable, a U.S. Department of Transportation Service Animal Relief Attestation. The Department believes that it is important and appropriate to allow airlines to require passengers to provide documentation to affirm that their service animal is in good health, is well behaved, and has been trained to do work or perform tasks to assist individuals with disabilities as a condition of transport.
