         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.

    (2) The carrier is not required to collect PFC's at the time of 

enplanement 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.

    (h) Collecting carriers and their agents shall stop collecting the 

PFC on the charge expiration date stated in a notice from the public 

agency, or as required by the Administrator.
