I. Fourth Public Meeting of the ACCESS Committee

    The fourth meeting of the ACCESS Advisory Committee will be held on 
August 16 and 17, 2016, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight 
Time. The meeting will be held at the Crystal City Marriott at Reagan 
National Airport, 1999 Jefferson Davis Highway Arlington, Virginia 
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. This meeting will include reports from the 
working groups formed to address the three issues listed above. We 
expect that the working groups may present proposals to amend the 
Department's disability regulation on 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 access advisory committee documents 
via the FDMC is contained in Section III, below.
    The meeting will be open to the public. Attendance will be limited
