Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014

-0728

This letter is to infonn you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and lists the conditions and limitations ofthe exemption, including the date it ends. 

### The Basis for Our Decision By letter posted September 18, 2014, Sonja Arnesen, Coordinator with Make-A-Wish Illinois, petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalfofyour daughter Brookelyn Corbin for an exemption from§ 121.311(b) ofTitle 14, Code ofFederal Regulations ( 14 CFR). That exemption, ifgranted, would allow Brookelyn to exceed the specified weight and/or height limit for an FAA-approved child restraint system (CAReS, manufactured by AmSafe Corporation) during use ofthat child restraint system (CRS) aboard a United States (U.S.) aircraft. The FAA has detennined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary ofthe petition in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Brookelyn. The FAA has issued grants ofexemption 

### in circumstances similar 

### in all material respects to those presented in your petition. 

### In Grant ofExemption No. 9834 (copy enclosed), the FAA found that numerous people with physical challenges had previously completed flights using restraint systems that addressed unique physical needs regarding safety, support, and security in the same manner ofoperations as described in this petition. The FAA further found that the petition would not set any new precedent regarding the use ofrestraint systems by persons with disabilities.
