DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration 

[Docket No. FAA–2004–19612] 

Use of Non-Original Equipment 

Manufacturer’s Components in 

Certified Aviation Obstruction/Antenna 

Lighting Systems

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of policy; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: On June 17, 2004, the FAA 

published a notice of policy in the 

Federal Register pertaining to the use of 

replacement components to repair 

certified lighting systems on antenna 

structures. The notice dealt with the 

issue of certified lighting systems 

manufactured by original equipment 

manufacturers (OEMs) that have been 

repaired with replacement components 

manufactured by other manufacturers 

(non-OEMs). Since the publication of 

that notice, the FAA has received 

information from manufacturers of 

certified lighting systems and of 

replacement components. After 

reviewing this information, as well as 

the information that led the agency to 

publish the notice of policy, the FAA 

has determined that further public input 

and further study by the agency are 

necessary to assess (1) the adequacy of 

existing guidance in FAA advisory 

circulars pertaining to obstruction 

lighting, and (2) the need for any 

changes in such guidance. Accordingly, 

the agency is withdrawing its June 17, 

2004, notice of policy. In addition, the 

FAA is announcing an immediate 

interim expansion of the Airport 

Lighting Equipment Certification 

Program (the certification program), 

provided for in Advisory Circular (AC) 

150/5345–53B. Manufacturers of 

obstruction lighting systems may show 

compliance with FAA specifications 

through the certification program. 

Under the certification program, 

manufacturers of obstruction lighting 

systems have their products tested by 

third party certification bodies to 

determine whether those systems meet 

the FAA specifications set forth in 

another advisory circular, AC 150/5345–

43E. The certification program, 

however, does not provide a method for 

certifying replacement components. The 

interim procedure announced here will 

provide a mechanism for certification of 

airport lighting equipment that contains 

replacement parts not produced by the 

original equipment manufacturer while 

the agency reviews its policy in this 

area.

DATES: Comments must be received by 

January 11, 2005. Comments that are 

received after that date will be 

considered only to the extent possible.

ADDRESSES: This notice is available for 

public review in the Dockets Office, 

U.S. Department of Transportation, 

Room Plaza Level (PL) 401, 400 Seventh 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590–

0001. The documents have been filed 

under Docket No. FAA–200l–XXXXX.
