REMINDER: PART 382 ANNUAL REPORTS DUE TO DOT ON JANUARY 26, 2015
December 24, 2014
The U.S. Department of Transportation requires all carriers to report to DOT all disability-related complaints for U.S. originating or destined passengers in 2014. The report must be submitted no later than January 26, 2015.
Carriers that did not receive any written disability-related complaints in 2014 are still required to file a “zero” report that shows no complaints. Failure to comply with the reporting requirement may subject a carrier to significant civil penalties. Both foreign and U.S. carriers have been fined by DOT in the past for failing to submit the required report and for submitting inaccurate information in the report, including improperly categorizing complaints.
The form must be filed through the following website: https://382reporting.ost.dot.gov/. If you do not already have a BTS account to complete this on-line filing, you can register to create an account on the website as well.
Please let us know if you require any assistance in completing or filing this form with DOT.
