Background 

On December 27, 2011, the FAA 

published a notice of availability 

entitled, ‘‘Clarification of Policy 

Regarding Approved Training 

Programs’’ (76 FR 80831). 

The FAA Order 8900.1, Flight 

Standards Information Management 

System, was issued on September 13, 

2007. This order consolidated and 

replaced FAA Orders 8300.1, 8400.1, 

and 8700.1, the FAA’s guidance to 

inspectors. There have been numerous 

inquiries by part 135 certificate holders 

regarding the acceptance of training/ 

evaluations previously completed by a 

crewmember while in the employment 

of another certificate holder. 

Regulations do not permit the crediting 

of such training (with the specific 

exception of CRM and DRM training). 

Additionally, some training centers 

have distributed a training program 

template that provides credit for 

training/evaluations conducted by 

another operator. Such provisions are 

contrary to the intent as well as the 

technical provisions of part 135 and are 

not appropriate for inclusion in a 

certificate holder’s approved training 

program. 

Part 135 certificate holders may 

develop and submit for approval 

multiple curriculums for a particular 

crewmember position and aircraft make/ 

model/variant. For example, a part 135 

certificate holder may have a an initial 

new-hire curriculum designed to meet 

the requirements of new hire 

crewmembers that have minimal flight 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 28 / Friday, February 10, 2012 / Proposed Rules 7011 

time, no previous part 135 experience, 

or do not have qualifications related to 

the certificate holder’s operational 

environment. The certificate holder may 

then also apply for a reduced new hire 

curriculum for pilots that have previous 

experience as a crewmember in part 135 

operations and/or the particular aircraft 

and duty position. The second 

curriculum in this example may have 

less training hours due to the 

crewmember’s extensive experience. 

Each of these curriculums would also 

have detailed prerequisites to define the 

level of experience required to enter 

into either of these new hire programs. 

There are no hour requirements which 

need to be defined on a reduced training 

program, however all the training 

elements of the certificate holder’s full 

initial training program must be 

accomplished as well as the 

qualification module. 

While the FAA generally does not 

request comment on internal Notices 

and orders, the agency has established 

a docket for public comments regarding 

this guidance for inspectors in 

recognition of the interest of current 14 

CFR part 135 certificate holders. The 

agency will consider all comments 

received by February 27, 2012. 

Comments received after that date may 

be considered if consideration will not 

delay agency action on the review. A 

copy of the proposed order is available 

for review in the assigned docket for the 

Order at http://www.regulations.gov. 

Correction 

This document is correcting an 

incorrect comment due date of January 

26, 2012 and replacing it with the 

correct comment due date of February 

27, 2012. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 2, 

2012.

the product. The Commission is 

proposing a safety standard for infant 

swings in response to the direction 

under the CPSIA. 

DATES: Submit comments by April 25, 

2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background and Statutory Authority 

The Consumer Product Safety 

Improvement Act of 2008, (‘‘CPSIA,’’ 

Pub L. 110–314) was enacted on August 

14, 2008. Section 104(b) of the CPSIA 

requires the Commission to promulgate 

consumer product safety standards for 

durable infant and toddler products. 

These standards are to be ‘‘substantially 

the same as’’ applicable voluntary 

standards or more stringent than the 

voluntary standard if the Commission 

concludes that more stringent 

requirements would further reduce the 

risk of injury associated with the 

product. The term ‘‘durable infant or 

toddler product’’ is defined in section 

104(f)(1) of the CPSIA as a durable 

product intended for use, or that may be 

reasonably expected to be used, by 

children under the age of 5 years. Infant 

swings are one of the products 

specifically identified in section 

104(f)(2)(F) as a durable infant or 

toddler product. 

In this document, we propose a safety 

standard for infant swings. The 

proposed standard is based on the 

voluntary standard developed by ASTM 

International (formerly the American 

Society for Testing and Materials), 

ASTM F 2088–11b, ‘‘Standard 

Consumer Safety Specification for Infant 

Swings’’ (‘‘ASTM F 2088–11b’’). The 

ASTM standard is copyrighted but can 

be viewed as a read-only document, 

only during the comment period for this 

proposal, at: http://www.astm.org/ 

cpsc.htm, by permission of ASTM. 

The information discussed in this 

preamble supporting the proposed 

safety standard for infant swings can be 

found in the staff briefing package, 

which is available at http:// 

www.cpsc.gov/. 

B. The Product 

1. Definition 

ASTM F 2088–11b defines an ‘‘infant 

swing’’ as a ‘‘stationary unit with a
