SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Transportation's Office of the Secretary (OST) 
published a direct final rule with a request for comments in the 
Federal Register on June 21, 2010 (75 FR 34925). The direct final rule 
required that the reporting carriers (i.e., certificated air carriers 
that account for at least 1 percent of domestic scheduled passenger 
revenues) load flight performance data onto their Web sites on 
Saturday, July 24, 2010, for June data, and all subsequent flight 
performance information on the fourth Saturday of the month following 
the month for which the data are that being reported. OST uses the 
direct final rulemaking procedure for a non-controversial rule where 
OST believes that there will be no adverse public comment. The direct 
final rule advised the public that no adverse comments were 
anticipated, and that unless a written adverse comment was received by 
July 6, 2010, the regulation would become effective on July 21, 2010. 
No adverse comments were received, and thus this notice confirms that 
the direct final rule will become effective on that date.

    Issued July 16, 2010, in Washington, DC.
Susan Kurland,
Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs.
