Petitions for Rulemaking

    Docket No.: 28631.
    Petitioner: Samuel J. Burris.
    Regulations Affected: 14 CFR 121.575.
    Description of Rulechange Sought: To prohibit U.S. air carriers 
from serving, and passengers from consuming, alcoholic beverages on all 
foreign and domestic flights.
    The petitioner feels that such change would enhance safety for 
passengers in the plane and people on the ground because the 
prohibition would reduce the number of incidents of offensive and 
criminal acts associated with the consumption of alcohol during 
flights.
