The Department of Transportation intends to reinstate certain information collection requirements related to disability accommodations in air travel under OMB control number 2105-0571, as mandated by the Paperwork Reduction Act. This involves air carriers providing mechanisms on their websites for passengers to request disability services and ensuring disclaimers when linking to third-party sites that may not meet the same accessibility standards. Public comments are requested by February 10, 2025. This move aims to support nondiscrimination and accessibility in air travel, as outlined in the Air Carrier Access Act.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Transportation wants airplanes to be friendly to people with disabilities by making sure their websites are easy to use for everyone and tell people when they're going to a new site that might not be as easy to use. They want people to say what they think by February 2025.
