Summary: This rulemaking would amend the
existing airplane operator security rules. It would revise certain
applicability provisions, definitions, and terms; reorganize these rules into
subparts containing related requirements; and incorporate some requirements
already implemented in air carrier approved security programs. Specifically,
this proposal would increase the number of air carriers that must have
security programs to include all that enplane from or deplane into a sterile
area. Further, it would clarify the following: training requirements for air
carrier security personnel; procedures for transporting passengers under armed
escort; procedures for allowing law enforcement personnel to fly armed; and
procedures for air carriers to acknowledge receipt of Federal Aviation
Administration security directives. It would require air carriers to
implement and test security contingency plans. As these rules should apply to
operators of rotorcraft as well as fixed-wing aircraft, this proposal would
change the title of these rules from "Airplane Operator Security"
to "Aircraft Operator Security." The intent is to enhance security
for the traveling public, air carriers, and persons employed by or conducting
business at public airports by increasing awareness of and compliance with
civil aviation security measures. |

provisions, definitions, and terms; reorganize these rules into subparts
containing related requirements; and incorporate some requirements already
implemented in airport security programs. It also would incorporate certain
new measures that would provide for better security. Specifically, it would
clearly define the areas of the airport in which security interests are the
most critical and where security measures should be the most stringent. It
would modify access control requirements by allowing secondary access media,
modify escort procedures for individuals without access authority, and expand
the requirement for an identification system to include a challenge system.
Further, it would clarify the following: training requirements for airport
security personnel; the role of the airport security coordinator; procedures
for airport operators to comply with Federal Aviation Administration security
directives; procedures for responding to and evaluating threats; and the need
to review and test security contingency plans. The intent is to enhance
security for the traveling public, air carriers, and persons employed by or
conducting business at public airports by increasing awareness of and

Summary: This rulemaking requires
airplanes operated under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part
121, U.S.-registered multiengine airplanes operated under 14 CFR part 129,
and multiengine airplanes used in scheduled operations under 14 CFR part 135
to undergo inspections and records reviews by the Administrator or a
designated representative after their 14th year in service and at specified
intervals thereafter. These inspections and records reviews will ensure that
the maintenance of these airplanes' age-sensitive parts and components has
been adequate and timely. The final rule also prohibits operation of these
airplanes after specified deadlines unless damage-tolerance-based inspections
and procedures are included in their maintenance or inspection programs.
Operators of airplanes initially certificated with nine or fewer passenger
seats, however, may incorporate service-history-based inspections instead of
damage-tolerance-based inspections and procedures in those airplanes'
maintenance or inspection programs. This final rule does not apply to airplanes
operated between any point within the State of Alaska and any other point
within the State of Alaska. This rule represents a critical step toward
compliance with the Aging Aircraft Safety Act of 1991 and helps to ensure the
continuing airworthiness of aging airplanes operating in scheduled service. |

Summary: This rulemaking would require
that the maintenance or inspection programs for all airplanes operated under
part 121 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, all U.S. -registered
multiengine airplanes operated in common carriage by foreign air carriers or
foreign persons under 14 CFR part 129, and all multiengine airplanes used in
scheduled operations under 14 CFR part 135 include FAA-approved corrosion
prevention and control programs. Such programs are needed because existing
maintenance and inspection programs may not provide comprehensive, systematic
measures to prevent and control corrosion. The rulemaking would form a part
of the FAA's response to the Aging Aircraft Safety Act of 1991. These actions
are intended to control the detrimental effects of corrosion and the
resulting airplane structural material loss. |

Summary: This rulemaking would have
adjusted recently adopted requirements for access to Type III emergency exits
(typically smaller over-wing exits) in transport category airplanes with 60
or more passenger seats. These adjustments reflect additional data derived
from a series of tests conducted at the FAA's Civil Aeromedical Institute
(CAMI) subsequent to the adoption of these requirements and are intended to
relieve an unnecessary economic burden. This rulemaking was withdrawn because
CAMI research on the issues is still ongoing and the Aviation Rulemaking
Advisory Committee (ARAC) is currently considering a recommendation for a
harmonized proposal on the issues addressed by Notice No. 95-1. ARAC will
make its recommendation after completion of a FAA research program to study
access to Type III exists. The FAA has determined that it should wait and see
if some future regulatory action including the broader scope of this
harmonized proposal would better server the public interest. |

Summary: This final rule would improve
participant safety during full-scale emergency evacuation demonstrations of
transport category airplanes by permitting certain alternative procedures
that would allow a person conducting the demonstrations to react more readily
should a mishap occur. The rule would not impose any additional cost. The

safer for participants, to codify existing practices, and to ensure that each
operator demonstrates the effectiveness of crewmember training by conducting
at least a partial evacuation demonstration. |

Summary: The FAA is codifying title VIII
of Public Law 106-181, National Parks Air Tour Management Act of 2000 (the
Act), as a new part of its regulations, 14 CFR part 136. This action
finalizes, in cooperation with the National Park Service, a 5,000-ft. above
ground level (AGL) altitude that completes the definition of "commercial
air tour operation" as required by the Act. If an operator conducts an
operation below 5,000 ft. AGL over a national park, and that operation
otherwise meets the statutory definition of a commercial air tour operation,
that operator is defined as a commercial air tour operator and is required to
meet the requirements of the Act and new part 136. This rulemaking is being
reclassified as non-significant and will be deleted from the next report. |

Summary: The Antiterrorism and Effective
Death Penalty Act of 1996 (P. L. 104-132) requires the Administrator to
accept a foreign air carrier's program only if the Administrator finds that
the security program provides for identical security measures to those
provided by U.S. air carriers serving the same airport. The actual measures
to be used would be identified through changes to the nonpublic security
program of the foreign air carriers. Secretary Slater informed Congress by
letter dated June 12, 2000 that action on this rulemaking has been completed.

those that have been discharged to reduce human error in identifying which
canisters are dangerous. This rule complements a December 1996 RSPA
rulemaking prohibiting the transportation of these generators in passenger
carrying aircraft. |

Summary: Following completion of the
rulemaking with respect to transport category airplanes, this rulemaking
would have upgraded fire safety standards for cargo or baggage compartments
in certain transport category airplanes by eliminating class D compartments
altogether. Compartments that could no longer be designated as Class D would
have had to meet the standards for Class C or Class E compartments, as
applicable. Certain other transport category airplanes would not have to meet
them for use in air carrier, commuter, on-demand, or commercial service. The
FAA determined to withdraw the 135 rulemaking, based on the existing safety
record for these aircraft and a cost/benefit analysis in the light of
comments filed in the proceeding. |

paid by air carriers to airports. The current action is to consider
replacement provisions for the portions of the 1996 Policy Statement vacated
by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. The Court disallowed a portion
of the policy that had to do with historic cost valuation of airport
property. FAA has determined that the issues in this policy statement should
be addressed in conjunction with the issues involved in congestion pricing in

Summary: This rule would revise the

airports serving scheduled air carrier operations in aircraft designed for
more than 9 passenger seats but less than 31 passenger seats. In addition,
this rule would amend a section of an air carrier operation regulation to
conform with changes to airport certification requirements. The FAA Reauthorization
Act of 1996 authorized the FAA to certificate airports (with the exception of
those in Alaska) that serve scheduled passenger operations of air carriers
operating aircraft designed for more than 9 passenger seats but fewer than
31. The Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century mandated that
the FAA issue an NPRM on operating certificates for such airports within 60
days (of April 5, 2000) and a final rule 1 year after the close of the NPRM
comment period. |

Summary: This rulemaking would extend SFAR
71, which established certain procedural, operational and equipment
requirements for air tour operators in the State of Hawaii. The FAA intends
to issue a national air tour safety proposal in the near future, but until
that rulemaking becomes final, there is a need to extend SFAR 71 to ensure
the continuing safe environment for conducting air tours in Hawaii. During
the 9 year period between 1982 and 1991, there were 11 air tour accidents
with 24 fatalities in Hawaii. The apparent causes of the accidents ranged
from engine power loss to encounters with adverse weather. On September 26,
1994, the FAA published an emergency final rule as SFAR 71. The rule
established additional operating procedures, including minimum safe altitudes
(and associated increases in visual flight rules weather minimums), minimum
equipment requirements and operational limitations for air tour aircraft in
the State of Hawaii. SFAR 71 was subsequently extended until October 26,
2003. |

Summary: This rulemaking would update and
revise the regulations governing operations by aircraft in fractional
ownership programs. This action is undertaken because the FAA has determined
that current regulations do not adequately define fractional ownership
programs and do not clearly allocate responsibility and authority for safety
and compliance with the regulations. The revisions would define fractional
ownership programs and their various participants, allocate responsibility
and authority for safety of flight operations for purposes of compliance with
the regulations, and ensure that fractional ownership program aircraft
operations maintain a high level of safety. Elements of this rulemaking would
provide in certain of the regulations applicable to fractional ownership
programs a level of safety equivalent to certain regulations that apply to
on-demand operators. The rulemaking would also change some regulations that
apply to on-demand operators meeting certain criteria to permit these
operators an alternate means of compliance for certain commercial operations. |

Summary: This rulemaking would establish
requirements for the certification, operation, and maintenance of light-sport
aircraft, including powered parachutes and weight-shift-control aircraft. For
the operation of light-sport aircraft, the rulemaking would establish a sport
pilot certificate and a flight instructor certificate with a sport pilot
rating. It would also establish requirements for student pilots and private
pilots to operate these aircraft, and to revise the recreational pilot
certificate to align it with privileges proposed for the new sport pilot
certificate. It would also establish a new repairman certificate with ratings
for individuals who would inspect and maintain light-sport aircraft. In
addition, it would create a new category of special airworthiness certificate
for light-sport aircraft that meet a consensus standard. This action is
necessary to address advances in sport and recreational aviation technology,
gaps in the existing regulations, and several petitions for rulemaking. The
intended effect of this action is to provide a safe and economical means to
certificate light-sport aircraft and the pilots who fly them. |

amount would increase to $0.11 for each PFC collected. This action is
necessary to implement the statutory requirement that the Secretary of

affected airplanes to have the capability to help assure immediate activation
of the designated air traffic control (ATC) hijack alert code, and continuous
transmission of that code to ATC during a hijack situation. This action would
respond to the heightened threat to U.S. civil aviation. The FAA believes
that this capability would help provide ATC personnel with more time to
initiate a national security response to a potential airplane hijack
situation. |

Summary: This rulemaking would permit
Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum flights in the airspace over the
contiguous 48 States of the United States and Alaska and that portion of the
Gulf of Mexico where the FAA provides air traffic services. This reduction of
vertical separation minima would only be applied between those aircraft that
meet stringent altimeter and auto-pilot performance requirements. This
rulemaking would enhance airspace capacity and to assist aircraft operators to
save fuel and time. |
