Despite the fact that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has recently stated that it cannot use federal funding to implement or enforce a regulation concerning the distribution of peanuts on airlines, the agency is still accepting public comments regarding this issue.
FAAN is hopeful that if enough comments are submitted, DOT will investigate further by initiating a study into the risk of airborne allergic reactions to peanuts on commercial airlines. Deadline for the comments is Monday, Aug. 9.
To see the initial clarifying statement from the DOT, FAAN’s public comment, and comments from other members of the public, visit FAAN’s online Legislative Action Center. From there you can easily link to theregulations.gov website, where comments are collected.
