To register with DOT, log into the eSubmit web application: http://esubmit.rita.dot.gov
If the Air Carrier’s representative is already a registered eSubmit user, then they will need to log into the eSubmit web application to select and add the new Part 244 Tarmac Delay Data to their list of reports they submit.
For new users, once logged in, the system will allow you to create a new user account.

Account must be established by: August 26, 2011
For assistance setting up your carrier’s user account for reporting Part 244 data, please contact Marianne Seguin at: marianne.seguin@dot.gov

Monthly, OAI will be sending all Part 244 reporting carriers this reminder:
Part 244 – Reporting of Tarmac Delay Data Reminder Notice
This is a reminder notice for all Part 244 reporting carriers. Please submit a Form 244 along with your transmittal letter if you had an occurrence of a 3 hour or more tarmac time. This is in accordance with the reporting requirements in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ Accounting and Reporting Directive No. 303, effective August 23, 2011. If you do not have a 3 hour or more tarmac time for the current monthly reporting period, you do not need to submit Form 244.

Reports must be created as an electronic "comma separated values" file, using ASCII text character encoding.
The file name is flexible and may be determined by the individual air carrier, but the comma separated values (csv) file format is required.
You must use [CSV] or [csv] as the file name extension.

Since the Part 244 rules do not apply at foreign airports, is a carrier required to report Gate Departure Time, Wheels-Off Time, Wheels-On Time, and Gate Arrival Time at foreign airports?
Answer, No, the carrier can either report nil fields, zero, or the actual times at foreign airports.
Nil = ,,, Zero = ,0,0, Actual = 1002, 1011,
