Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2015-0050

This letter is to inform you \hat we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision , explains its basis, and lists the conditions and limitations ofthe exemption , including the date it ends. The B:tsis for Our Decision By letter posted to the appropriate docket on January 12, 2015, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf ofT eng Long for an exemption from § 121.311 (b) ofTitle 14 , Code ofFederal Regulations {14 CFR). That exemption, ifgranted, would allow Teng Long to exceed the specified weight and/or height limit for an FAA-approved child restraint system (CAReS, manufactured by AmSafe Corporation) during use ofthat child restraint system (CRS) aboard a United States (U.S.) aircraft. The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary ofthe petition in the Federal Reaister because the requested exemption would not set a precedent and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Teng Long. The FAA has issued grants ofexemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grant ofExemption No. 9834 (copy enclosed), the FAA found that numerous people with physical challenges had previously completed flights using restraint systems that addressed unique physical needs regarding safety, support, and security in the same manner ofoperations as described in this petition. The FAA further found that the petition would not set any new precedents regarding the use ofrestraint systems by persons with disabilities.

. §§ 106(1), 40113 and 44701 , which the FAA Administrator has delegated to me, I hereby grant Teng Long an exemption from § 121.311 (b).
