Notice of proposed rulemaking.
Summary
The Department of Transportation is considering modifying the T-100/T-100(f) Traffic Reporting System. Joint-service operations would be reported by the operating carrier. Small certificated, commuter, and all-cargo air carriers would report their air traffic activity under the T-100 Traffic Reporting System instead of Form 298-C Schedules A-1, E-1, and T-1; and Form 291-A. The current T-100 Reporting System would be modified to require U.S. carriers to report the detailed market and segment information for all their military, domestic all-cargo, and domestic charter flights. The Form 41 Supplemental T-1, T-2, and T-3 schedules would be eliminated. Foreign air carriers would be required to report on the T-100(f) all flights to/from the United States thus, eliminating the small aircraft reporting exclusion. The Department would require U.S. carriers to submit total aircraft hours for each reported aircraft type, fuel consumed by aircraft type and aircraft days assigned to service. Currently, there is a lack of market and segment data for domestic all-cargo, domestic charter and small aircraft operations. The proposed changes are designed to fill the data gaps for these rapidly growing segments in the air transportation industry.
