   CHAPTER II--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 
                         (AVIATION PROCEEDINGS)
 
PART 382--NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF DISABILITY IN AIR TRAVEL--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart C--Requirements for Services
 
Sec. 382.37  Seat assignments.

    (a) Carriers shall not exclude any qualified individual with a 
disability from any seat in an exit row or other location or require 
that a qualified individual with a disability sit in any particular 
seat, on the basis of disability, except in order to comply with the 
requirements of an FAA safety regulation or as provided in this section.
    (b) If a person's disability results in involuntary active behavior 
that would result in the person properly being refused transportation 
under Sec. 382.31, and the safety problem could be mitigated to a degree 
that would permit the person to be transported consistent with safety if 
the person is seated in a particular location, the carrier shall offer 
the person that particular seat location as an alternative to being 
refused transportation.
    (c) If a service animal cannot be accommodated at the seat location 
of the qualified individual with a disability whom the animal is 
accompanying (see Sec. 382.55(a)(2)), the carrier shall offer the 
passenger the opportunity to move with the animal to a seat location, if 
present on the aircraft, where the animal can be accommodated, as an 
alternative to requiring that the animal travel with checked baggage.
