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

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. John S. Duncan, Acting Deputy Director, FAA Flight Standards
Service.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking. **SUMMARY :**  The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (‘‘CPSIA’’) requires the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (‘‘Commission,’’ ‘‘CPSC,’’ ‘‘we,’’ or ‘‘us’’) to promulgate consumer product safety standards for durable infant or 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 Commission is proposing a safety standard for infant swings in response to the direction under the CPSIA.

. **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 frame and powered mechanism that
