        Subpart C--Collection, Handling, and Remittance of PFC's
 
Sec. 158.47  Collection of PFC's on tickets issued outside the U.S.

    (a) With respect to tickets issued outside the U.S., an air carrier 
or foreign air carrier may follow the requirements of either Sec. 158.45 
of this part or this section.
    (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this part, no foreign 
airline is required to collect a PFC on air travel tickets issued on its 
own ticket stock unless it serves a point or points in the U.S.
    (c) If an air carrier or foreign air carrier elects not to comply 
with Sec. 158.45 for tickets issued outside the U.S.--
    (1) The carrier is required to collect PFC's on such tickets only 
for the public agency controlling the last airport at which the 
passenger is enplaned prior to departure from the U.S.
    (2) The carrier may collect the PFC either at the time the ticket is 
issued or at the time the passenger is last enplaned prior to departure 
from the U.S. The carrier may vary the method of collection among its 
flights.
    (3) The carrier shall provide a written record to the passenger that 
a PFC has been collected. Such a record shall appear on or with the air 
travel ticket and shall include the same information as required by 
Sec. 158.45(b), but need not be preprinted on the ticket stock.
    (4) The carrier shall collect the PFC based upon the itinerary at 
the time of issuance. Any changes in itinerary that are initiated by a 
passenger and that require an adjustment of the amount paid by the 
passenger are subject to collection or refund of the PFC as appropriate.
    (d) With respect to a flight on which the air carrier or foreign air 
carrier chooses to collect the PFC at the time the air travel ticket is 
issued--
    (1) The carrier and its agents shall collect the required PFC on 
tickets issued on or after the charge effective date.

for tickets sold by other air carriers or foreign air carriers or their 
agents.
    (e) With respect to a flight on which the air carrier or foreign air 
carrier chooses to collect the PFC at the time of enplanement, the 
carrier shall examine the air travel ticket of each passenger enplaning 
at the airport on and after the charge effective date and shall collect 
the PFC from any passenger whose air travel ticket does not include a 
written record indicating that the PFC was collected at the time of 
issuance.
    (f) Collected PFC's shall be distributed as noted on the written 
record provided to the passenger.
    (g) Collecting carriers shall be responsible for all funds from time 
of collection to remittance.

PFC on the charge expiration date stated in a notice from the public 
agency, or as required by the Administrator.
