SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Fifth Public Meeting of the ACCESS Committee
The fifth meeting of the ACCESS Advisory Committee will be held on
September 21-23, 2016, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight
Time. The meeting will be held at the Ritz Carlton, Pentagon City, 1250
Hayes Street, Arlington, VA 22202. At the meeting, the ACCESS Advisory
Committee will continue to address whether to require accessible
inflight entertainment (IFE) and strengthen accessibility requirements
for other in-flight communications, whether to require an accessible
lavatory on new single-aisle aircraft over a certain size, and whether
to amend the definition of ``service animals'' that may accompany
passengers with a disability on a flight. We expect to negotiate on
proposals to amend the Department's disability regulation regarding one
or more of these issues. Prior to the meeting, the agenda will be
available on the ACCESS Advisory Committee's Web site,
www.transportation.gov/access-advisory-committee. Information on how to
