Action
Interim final rule; amendment; reopening of comment period.
Summary
On December 31, 2001, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published an interim final rule on the imposition and collection of Passenger Civil Aviation Security Service Fees (September 11th Security Fees). The comment period closed on March 1, 2002. Since that time, however, TSA has tentatively determined that some of the data direct air carriers and foreign air carriers are required to submit in the quarterly reports pursuant to Sec. 1510.17 of the interim final rule may be overinclusive. This action amends the requirements under Sec. 1510.17(b) and (c) and reopens the comment period solely with respect to those paragraphs until April 30, 2002. So that TSA may review and consider all comments received on this action, the first quarterly report due by April 30, 2002, need not be submitted until July 31, 2002, i.e., the same date the second quarterly report is due. TSA intends to provide a form for the data required in the quarterly reports and will publish the form together with guidance in the Federal Register and on DOT's Web site prior to July 31, 2002.
