Final rule.

The U.S. Department of Transportation requires U.S. air carriers to submit their recurrent financial, traffic, operational and consumer data reports electronically via the Internet using the comma separated value (CSV) file format or a PDF file for reports that are not entered into a database such as signed certifications, transmittal letters, and annual reports. This rule will enhance security of the data submissions, eliminate air carriers' fax and mailing costs, eliminate the need for the Department to manually enter hardcopy data submissions, and provide reporting air carriers with immediate notification and a receipt from the Department that the report was received. This action is taken on the Department's initiative.
