Form FMC-131 is being revised to include a required field for PVOs to provide the web page address of their refund instructions on how passengers may obtain refunds in the event of nonperformance of transportation. The process for obtaining refunds in the event of nonperformance are outlined in revised forms FMC-132A, FMC-133A, and the escrow account. The passenger must make a written request for a refund from the PVO in accordance with the respective PVO’s claims procedures. If the PVO claims procedure provides less than 180 days for submission of claims after nonperformance of transportation, the passenger may seek reimbursement from the financial instrument provider after providing written notification to the PVO.
