<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>

Air
Carrier Access Act. These comments are attached to this message and can also

<P class=MsoNormal><U></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U></U>As the leading advocate for guide dog users, we
have
worked with the airline industry to resolve the serious issues this NPRM
seeks
to address.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U></U>As the largest membership organization of the
blind in
the United States, it is important for us to make our collective voice
heard. It
is equally important that the grassroots individual voice be added. Such
action
reinforces our position with real-life individual remarks.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U></U>On Sunday, March 8 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight
Time
(7:00 p.m. Central; 6:00 p.m. Mountain; & 5:00 p.m. Pacific), the
National
Association of Guide Dog Users will host a national town Hall meeting to
discuss
our comments, help you better understand our position and better clarify
yours,
and learn how to submit your comments on these proposed rules. This meeting
will
be held in NAGDU’s Zoom meeting room. Here’s how to join us:</P>
