Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 147 

[Docket No.: FAA–2015–3901; Notice No. 

15–10] 

RIN 2120–AK48 

Aviation Maintenance Technician 

Schools 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM); extension of comment period. 

SUMMARY: This action extends the 

comment period for an NPRM published 

on October 2, 2015. In that document, 

the FAA proposes to amend the 

regulations governing the curriculum 

and operations of FAA-certificated 

Aviation Maintenance Technician 

Schools. These amendments would 

modernize and reorganize the required 

curriculum subjects in the appendices 

of the current regulations. They would 

also remove the course content items 

currently located in the appendices and 

require that they be placed in each 

school’s operations specifications so 

they could more easily be amended 

when necessary. The amendments are 

needed because the existing 

curriculums are outdated, do not meet 

current industry needs, and can be 

changed only through notice and 

comment rulemaking. These 

amendments would ensure that aviation 

maintenance technician students 

receive up-to-date foundational training 

to meet the demanding and consistently 

changing needs of the aviation industry. 

This extension is a result of a joint 

request from Aviation Technical 

Education Council (ATEC), 

Aeronautical Repair Station Association 

(ARSA), Aircraft Owners and Pilots 

Association (AOPA), Airlines for 

America (A4A), Aviation Suppliers 

Association (ASA), Helicopter 

Association International (HAI), 

Modification And Replacement Parts 

Association (MARPA), National Air 

Carrier Association (NACA), National 

Air Transport Association (NATA), 

Regional Airline Association, STEM 

Education Coalition (STEM), and 

University Aviation Association (UAA) 

(collectively, the ‘‘Petitioners’’). 

DATES: The comment period for the 

notice of proposed rulemaking 

published on October 2, 2015 (80 FR 

59674), is extended. Send comments on 

or before February 1, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

The FAA continues to invite 

interested persons to take part in this 

rulemaking by submitting written 

comments, data, or views about the 

NPRM we issued on October 2, 2015 

(part 147, Aviation Maintenance 

Technician Schools (80 FR 

59674)(October 2, 2015). The most 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 223 / Thursday, November 19, 2015 / Proposed Rules 72405 

helpful comments will reference a 

specific portion of the NPRM, explain 

the reason for any recommended 

change, and include supporting data. 

Background 

On October 2, 2015, the Federal 

Aviation Administration (FAA) issued 

Notice No. 15–10, Aviation 

Maintenance Technician Schools (80 FR 

59674) (October 2, 2015) (‘‘NPRM’’). The 

comment period for the NPRM ends on 

December 31, 2015. 

By letter dated October 26, 2015, the 

Petitioners jointly asked the FAA to 

extend the NPRM’s comment period by 

90 days. The Petitioners believe that, 

with the additional time requested, the 

aviation industry and its partners in 

technical education will help the FAA 

develop a rule that supports schools, 

aids students at the beginning of a 

rewarding career, and serves an 

important growing industry. 

The FAA recognizes the NPRM’s 

contents are significant and complex 

and that a ninety-day comment period 

may not be sufficient. However, the 

FAA believes that a 90 day extension, 

for a total of 180 days, is excessive. We 

have determined that an additional 30 

days will be enough for potential 

commenters to collect the cost and 

operational data necessary to provide 

meaningful comments to the NPRM (for 

a total of 120 days from October 2, 

2015). Absent unusual circumstances, 

the FAA does not anticipate any further 

extension of the comment period for 

this rulemaking. 

Extension of Comment Period 

In accordance with 14 CFR 11.47(c), 

the FAA has reviewed the petition 

submitted by the Petitioners for an 

extension of the comment period to the 

NPRM. The FAA finds that the 

petitioners have a substantive interest in 

the proposed rule, and that an extension 

of the comment period for Notice No. 

15–10 is consistent with the public 

interest, and that good cause exists for 

granting this extension. 

Accordingly, the comment period for 

Notice No. 15–10 is extended until 

February 1, 2016. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on November 

16, 2015.

Director, Office of Rulemaking.

and notice of proposed rulemaking 

(‘‘NPR’’) in the same issue of the 

Federal Register on October 14, 2015, 

clarifying when component part testing 

can be used and clarifying which textile 

products have been determined not to 

exceed the allowable lead content 

limits. The DFR and the NPR invited the 

public to submit written comments by 

November 13, 2015. In response to a 

request for an extension, the 

Commission is reopening the comment 

period on the NPR to December 14, 

2015. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

notice of proposed rulemaking 

published on October 14, 2015 (80 FR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 14, 2015, the Commission 

published a DFR and an NPR in the 

Federal Register, clarifying when 

component part testing can be used and 

clarifying which textile products have 

been determined not to exceed the 

allowable lead content limits. (DFR, 80 

FR 61729 and NPR, 80 FR 61773). The 

American Apparel and Footwear 

Association (‘‘AAFA’’) has requested an 

extension of the comment period for 30 

days because AAFA-member companies 

are currently reviewing the 

Commission’s proposed amendment to 

the rule and need additional time to 

submit comments. 

The Commission has considered the 

request and is reopening the comment 

period for an additional 30 days. 

Because the 30-day extension date falls 

on a Sunday, the comment period will 

close on December 14, 2015. The 

Commission believes that this extension 

allows adequate time for interested 

persons to submit comments on the 

proposed rule, without significantly 

delaying the rulemaking. 

Alberta E. Mills, 

Acting Secretary, Consumer Product Safety 

Commission.
