SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
Discussion 
Section 105(a) of the Aircraft 
Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act, Public Law 116–260 (the Act), mandates that the Administrator require the submittal and disclosure of safety critical information by applicants for, or holders of, TCs for transport category airplanes covered under title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 25. As detailed in the draft Notice, the Act defines safety critical information. 
Applicants for transport airplane type 
certificates currently submit safety critical information with their initial certification plan, and throughout their project. However, it may not be clearly demarcated as safety critical. Therefore, as part of its interim implementation of Section 105(a), the FAA plans to issue a Notice to supplement its application processes to provide guidance for applicants to delineate safety critical information. A draft of the Notice may be examined in the docket and at https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/draft _docs. 
Comments Invited

Airplane Type Certificates’’ and the docket number on all comments submitted to the FAA. The most helpful comments will reference a specific recommendation, explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting information. The FAA will consider all comments received on or before the closing date, before issuing the final Notice. The FAA will also consider late-filed comments if it is possible to do so without incurring expense or delay.
