SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document announces the availability of 

proposed FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 3, 

Chapter 63, Aircraft Dispatcher 

Certification Courses and Proposed 

Advisory Circular (AC) 65–XX (Number 

to be Determined), FAA-Approved 

Aircraft Dispatcher Certification 

Courses. 

Background 

The FAA has determined a need to 

establish formal policy related to FAAapproved Aircraft Dispatcher 

Certification Courses, operated in 

accordance with 14 CFR part 65, subpart 

C. As of the date of this notice there are 

44 FAA-approved Aircraft Dispatcher 

Certification Courses currently 

operating. The lack of FAA policy 

related to the approval and oversight of 

these courses has led to a wide range of 

inconsistencies with respect to 

individual course approvals. The new 

guidance clarifies the requirements 

found in part 65, subpart C. 

The FAA’s determination of need to 

establish policy is also supported by 

public comment which the FAA 

received to draft policy changes 

announced in docket number FAA– 

2011–1149. The 2011 docket announced 

draft changes to FAA Order 8900.1, 

Volume 13, Chapter 3, which applies to 

Designated Aircraft Dispatcher 

Examiners (DADE). The 2011 draft 

policy introduced the FAA’s proposed 

requirements for the content of a 

Statement of Graduation provided by an 

Aircraft Dispatcher Certification Course 

operator in accordance with 14 CFR 

65.70(d). Public comment to these 

proposed requirements pointed out that 

policy related to Aircraft Dispatcher 

Certification Course operators did not 

belong in a policy document related to 

DADEs. The comments suggested that 

requirements for a Statement of 

Graduation that are incumbent upon a 

course operator should be established 

someplace other than in a policy 

document related to DADES. The FAA 

agrees that policy related to Aircraft 

Dispatcher Certification Course 

Operators needs to be established 

outside of the policy related to DADEs. 

In light of the FAA’s determination and 

public comment received to docket 

number FAA–2011–1149, the FAA is 

providing this notice to provide the 

public with an opportunity to comment 

on the proposed new policy related to 

FAA-approved Aircraft Dispatcher 

Certification Courses. 

While the FAA generally does not 

request comment on internal orders, the 

agency has established a docket for 

public comments regarding this policy 

for inspectors in recognition of the 

interest of Aircraft Dispatcher Course 

Operators and applicants for an aircraft 

dispatcher certificate under part 65. The 

FAA has also placed in the docket, a 

copy of a draft revision to 8900.1, 

Volume 5, Chapter 5, Section 10, 

Aircraft Dispatcher Certification, for 

reference only. The agency will consider 

all comments received by December 22, 

2014. Comments received after that date 

may be considered if consideration will 

not delay agency action on the review. 

A copy of the proposed order and AC 

is available for review in the assigned 

docket for the Order at http://

www.regulations.gov.

SUMMARY: On August 13, 2013, the

also propose technical edits to our 

regulations to improve the consistency 

and clarity of the regulations. Finally, 

we propose to redesignate our 

regulations and to include in that 

redesignated section an additional 

provision that would allow the 

Secretary to give special consideration 

to projects supported by evidence of 

promise.
