Government Agencies Contact List Many members have called asking where they can call or write to register the bad or good experience they had with an airline, food manufacturer, restaurant, school, child-care facility, or other entity. If you do write one of these government agencies, please send FAAN a copy of your letter. FAAN uses your stories to ensure that people with food allergy are being appropriately protected.   Airlines:   Aviation Consumer Protection Division U.S. Department of Transportation Room 4107, C-75 Washington, DC 20590 202/366-2220 airconsumer@ost.dot.gov   Complaints about violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act by a public or nonparochial private school, day-care center, or private business (including restaurants):   Disability Rights Section Civil Rights Division U.S. Department of Justice P.O.
