SUBJECT: Petition for Extension of Exemption No. 4902L, for FAR 43 APP B

Docket No. FAA

- 2001

- 10475

L adies/Gentlemen:

In accordance with the provisions of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), Part 11, the Air Transport Association (ATA) of America1, on behalf of its member air carriers, petitions for the renewal of Exemption No. 4902J, Docket No. FAA

2001

- 10475. Exemption No. 4902K expires on February 28, 2010.

The Air Transport Associa tion (ATA) of America makes this application on behalf of its member air carriers1. The ATA is the trade and service organization of the U.S. scheduled air carriers with its main office at 1301 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 1100, Washington, D.C. 20004

- 17 07. The appropriate technical contact for the purposes of this application is Mike Bianchi, Director, Technical Operations, telephone: (202) 626

- 4228.

Attached are the appropriate names and addresses of current ATA members, who would

be the beneficiaries of the relief, sought in this application.

__________________________________________________________________ 1 ATA's members are AirTran Airways, Alaska Airlines, Ame rican Airlines, Atlas Air , Delta Air Lines, Evergreen Internation al Airlines, FedEx C orporation, Hawaiian Airlines, jetBlue Airways

.Exemption No. 4902L provides temporary relief, under certain conditions and limitations,

from specific provisions of 14 CFR Part 43, Appendix B, Paragraph (d); 14 CFR §45.11(a) and (d); and §91.203(c), and §91.417(d) to the extent necessary to a llow all aircraft operating under part 121 and all aircraft operating in commuter operations (as defined in §119.3) under an FAA

approved continuous airworthiness maintenance program(CAMP), to operate without complying with the requirements pertaining to t he location of aircraft identification plates and carriage of FAA Form 337 as evidence of installation approval for fuel tank installations in the passenger or a baggage compartment.

Exemption No. 4902 was originally issued in response to a petition filed by ATA on November 17, 1987, for a permanent exemption from the aforesaid rules. In as much as ATA members were not the specific targets of the rules, (adopted by the FAA, with U.S. Customs Service support), to facilitate the enforcement of U.S. drug traffi cking laws, the FAA found the exemption for ATA members would not adversely affect safety.

Justification for an extension of Exemption No. 4902L is the same as for the original Exemption Petition, dated November 17, 1987. The conditions and circumstances with regard to public interest an d safety, which warranted the original exemption, continue to exist. The exemption has been in use for 24 years with no known compromise of safety.

The renewal of this exemption is not a controversial issue. As the renewal of this exemption is not precedent setting, ATA requests that pu blication in the Federal Register be

waived.

Your consideration and approval of this request is appreciated.
