[NYAGDU] Action Required - Time Sensitive - need immediate feedback on ACAA form accessibility

[Raul A. Gallegos (NFB)]

Hello everyone, this is extremely time sensitive. Attached are two PDFs 
from the Department of Transportation. These proposed forms are part of 
the new ruling of the Air Carrier Access Act, ACAA, which will go into 
effect on January 11, 2021. One aspect of the new ruling is that 
airlines may require travelers with service dogs to fill out one or both 
of these forms when flying with a guide dog. While we are still having 
conversations with the Department of Transportation about the having to 
possibly use these forms in the first place, we still need to give them 
feedback on the accessibility and usability of them.

I have received a request that we test these two forms as quickly as 
possible so we can give our compiled feedback to the Department of 
Transportation. If you are able to provide feedback on the accessibility 
and usability of these forms, please email me directly at 
rgallegos at nagdu.org no later than 7 PM Central time tomorrow, Sunday, 
December 20, 2020. In anticipation of receiving a lot of email about 
this, please use the subject, "ACAA Form Feedback" so that I can best 
filter out your messages.

I have attached these forms to this email, but in case the attachments 
don't work, I have also provided direct-download links to these forms.

Thank you.
