Action
Final rule.
Summary
In accordance with existing regulations, this final rule raises the minimum limit on domestic baggage liability applicable to air carriers to reflect inflation since July 2008, the basis month of the most recent previous revision to the liability limit. DOT regulations require that the Department of Transportation periodically revise the limit to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). This revision adjusts the minimum limit of liability from the current amount of $3,300, set by the Department in November 2008, to $3,400, to take into account the changes in consumer prices since the prior revision.
