The proposed regulation addresses lavatory interiors, on-board wheelchairs, and training of flight attendants.

Comments are due by March 2, 2020.

Read the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and submit a comment.<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDAxMTUuMTU1ODc1NDEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5mZWRlcmFscmVnaXN0ZXIuZ292L2RvY3VtZW50cy8yMDIwLzAxLzAyLzIwMTktMjc2MzEvYWNjZXNzaWJsZS1sYXZhdG9yaWVzLW9uLXNpbmdsZS1haXNsZS1haXJjcmFmdC1wYXJ0LTEifQ.cbDihDzBTMm5bCjjvesPznDRQrcPlxd9yDIXYzkbSM0/br/74016598531-l>

Stay tuned: In the near future, DOT plans to issue an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to solicit comment and gather information on the costs and benefits of requiring airlines to make lavatories on new single-aisle aircraft larger, equivalent to that currently found on twin-aisle aircraft.
