Sec. 291.60  Public disclosure of data.





    (a) Detailed domestic on-flight market data and nonstop segment 

data, except military data, shall be made publicly available after 

processing. Domestic data are defined as data from air transportation 

operations from a place in any State of the United States, the District 

of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, or 

a U.S. territory or possession to a place in any State of the United 

States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and 

the Virgin Islands, or a U.S. territory or possession. Domestic military 

operations are reported under service codes N or R.

    (b) Detailed international on-flight market and nonstop segment data 

in Schedule T-100 and Schedule T-100(f) reports, except military data, 

shall be publicly available immediately following the Department's 

determination that the database is complete, but no earlier than six 

months after the date of the data. Military operations are reported 

under service codes N or R. Data for on-flight markets and nonstop 

segments involving no U.S. points shall not be made publicly available 

for three years. Industry and carrier summary data may be made public 

before the end of six months or the end of three years, as applicable, 

provided there are three or more carriers in the summary data disclosed. 

The Department may, at any time, publish international summary 

statistics without carrier detail. Further, the Department may release 

nonstop segment and on-flight market detail data by carrier before the 

end of the confidentiality period as follows:

    (1) To foreign governments as provided in reciprocal arrangements 

between the foreign country and the U.S. Government for exchange of on-

flight market and/or nonstop segment data submitted by air carriers of 

that foreign country and U.S. carriers serving that foreign country.

    (2) To parties to any proceeding before the Department under Title 

IV of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, as required by an 

Administrative Law Judge or other decision-maker of the Department. 

Parties may designate agents or consultants to receive the data in their 

behalf, provided the agents or consultants agree to abide by the 

disclosure restrictions. Any data to which access is granted
