To the Administrator, 

In July i wrote a letter requesting an exemption to 14 CFR 65.91 (c) (2) requiring 

that an A&P practice in the profession for 2 years prior to taking the test for an 

Inspection Authorization. I have not had a response from your office concerning 

this matter and I am wondering if any action has been taken on this request and if 

not, why? 1 am sending another copy of the original request and would appreciate 

some sort of action one way or another as this is a very important matter to me. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

To the Administrator, 

My name is James T. "Jake" Dvorak and I am writing this letter to request an 

exemption to 14 CFR 65.91(c) (2) requiring that an A&P practice in the profession 

for 2 years before they can be eligible to take the Inspection Authorization test. My 

reasons that I think an exemption is warranted are as follows. I previously held an 

lA ticket from approximately 1982 to 1996 in which I practiced in the aircraft 

maintenance field continuously, renewing my ticket yearly by performing more than 

the required number of inspections to keep my ticket current. In 1996 I got out of 

the aviation business to help take care of approximately 30 foster children that came 

through our home and to take over a cattle ranch for my ailing father. I missed the 

aviation field and in October of 20111 was offered the job of Airport Manager of 

the O'Neill Nebraska Airport, aptly named John Baker Field after a well known 

aviation figure who originated from O'Neill. I also was offered a facility to do 

aircraft maintenance. Since November I have been working under the watchful eye 

of an Authorized Inspector who lives some distance away and this makes it difficult 

for all involved. The nearest maintenance facility is approx. 80 miles away and this 

presents a problem to the approx. 15 aircraft located on the field and the 30 to 40 

aircraft within a 40 mile radius that need maintenance. I have a good reputation in 

the aircraft maintenance Held and I can provide letters attesting to this fact if need 

be. The job of an AI entails a lot of paper work ie. AD notes, 337's , TCDS and 

FAR's which the internet has made readily available. I have a subscription to a 

service which provides all the necessary info I need, have a fully equipped 

maintenance facility and all the necessary manuals, both parts and maintenance to 

complete the job in a professional manner. The fact that I have extensive experience 

in the field, of which the majority I was as a holder of an AI makes me believe that 

I am fully qualified now to test again to become the holder of an Inspection 

Authorization. I am also a Private Instrument Rated pilot and want to promote 

general aviation as much as possible and being able to provide all the necessary 

maintenance in a timely manner in a rural area would be a huge help to me in 

achieving this goal. Thank you for considering my request and I wait to bear your 

response. My A&P # is 506760567 

Sincerely,
