Public Meeting on Future Policy and 

Rulemaking for Normal, Utility,

Small Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: The FAA Small Airplane 

Directorate is issuing this notice to 

advise the public of a meeting to discuss 

ideas for future policy and rulemaking 

for small airplanes. We are attempting to 

determine the adequacy of the current 

airworthiness standards thoughout a 

small airplane’s service life while 

anticipating future requirements. The 

outcome could affect the next 20 years 

of small airplane design, certification, 

and operations. 

DATES: The meeting will be held June 8– 

9, 2010, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at

5 49 U.S.C. 40103(b) directs the FAA to develop

of the airspace as necessary to ensure its efficient 

use. 

encourage the public’s participation and 

feedback in developing or amending 

new and existing policy, guidance, and 

rulemaking. Specifically, we would like 

feedback from manufacturers, pilots, 

owners, mechanics, instructors and 

anyone else with an interest in the small 

airplane industry. 

The Small Airplane Directorate is 

responsible for 14 CFR part 23, the 

design standard for small airplanes. 14 

CFR part 23 contains the design 

standards for small airplanes in the 

normal, utility, acrobatic, and commuter 

categories, with a maximum gross 

weight of 19,000 pounds. 

The FAA’s Small Airplane Directorate 

plans to host this second meeting to 

review the part 23 requirements June 8– 

9, 2010. The meeting will not follow a 

fixed agenda, but the discussions will 

generally follow the findings from a 

recent two-year study. That study, the 

‘‘Part 23 Small Airplane Certification 

Process Study,’’ addressed the following 

areas: 

• Structure and Process of Part 23 

• Design Certification 

• Continued Airworthiness 

• Data Management 

• Pilot Interface 

The report is available on-line at: 

http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/ 

headquarters_offices/avs/offices/air/ 

directorates_field/small_airplanes/. 

Included in the study are 

recommendations associated with 

certification, maintenance, 

modifications, and pilot training. Also 

included in the report is the 

recommendation to revise part 23 such 

that requirements are based on airplane 

performance and complexity. Since the 

beginning, small airplane certification 

requirements have been based on 

propulsion and weight. Many previous 

assumptions for small airplanes are no 

longer accurate. This is discussed in 

detail in the Certification Process 

Report. 

The FAA plans to open this meeting 

with a detailed presentation from the 

Certification Process Study findings 

followed by opening the floor for 

discussions. There will be an official 

recorder participating at the meeting. 

The meeting minutes, as well as any 

comments, feedback, recommendations 

or action items will become public 

record. 

Attendance is open to the interested 

public but limited to space availability. 

Since seating is limited, we ask anyone 

interested in attending to RSVP (notify)

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

[Docket No. FAA–2010–0109] 

Notice on Petition for Waiver of the 

Terms of the Order Limiting Scheduled 

Operations at LaGuardia Airport 

ACTION: Grant of petition with 

conditions. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary and the FAA 

are granting, subject to conditions, the 

joint waiver request of Delta Air Lines 

and US Airways from the prohibition on 

purchasing operating authorizations 

(‘‘slots’’ or ‘‘slot interests’’) at LaGuardia 

Airport (LGA). The grant permits the 

carriers to consummate a transaction in 

which Delta would transfer 42 pairs of 

slot interests to US Airways at Ronald 

Reagan Washington National Airport 

(DCA), international route authorities to 

Sa ̃o Paulo and Tokyo; and terminal 

space at the Marine Air Terminal at 

LGA. US Airways would transfer 125 

pairs of slot interests to Delta at LGA, 

and would lease an additional 15 pairs 

of LGA slot interests with a purchase 

option, together with terminal space in 

LGA’s Terminal C. The grant is subject 

to the conditions that the carriers 

dispose of 14 pairs of slot interests at 

DCA and 20 pairs of slot interests at 

LGA to eligible new entrant and limited 

incumbent carriers, pursuant to 

procedures set out in this Notice, and 

achieve a mutually satisfactory 

agreement regarding gates and 

associated facilities with any such 

purchaser. 

If you wish to review the background 

documents or comments received in this 

proceeding, you may go to http:// 

www.regulations.gov at any time and 

follow the online instructions for 

accessing the electronic docket. You 

may also go to the U.S. Department of 

Transportation’s Docket Operations in 

Room W12–140 on the ground floor of 

the West Building at 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue, SE., Washington, DC between 9 

a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. 

DATES: The waiver is effective upon 

Delta and US Airways satisfying the 

conditions required by this Notice. On 

February 9, 2010, the FAA issued the 

Notice of petition for waiver and 

solicited comments through March 22, 

in this Docket, on the grant of the 

petition with conditions. (75 FR 7306, 

Feb. 18, 2010). On March 30, 2010, the 

FAA reopened the comment period and 

solicited rebuttal comments through 

April 5, 2010. (75 FR 16574, Apr. 1, 

2010).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Proposed Transaction and the 

Waiver Request 

In the Wendell H. Ford Aviation 

Investment and Reform Act for the 21st 

Century (AIR–21), Public Law 106–181 

(2000), Congress required a phase out 

and termination of the High Density 

Rule (HDR) 1 at LGA by January 1, 

2007.2 Congress expressly retained the 

FAA’s authority for ‘‘safety and the 

movement of air traffic.’’ 3 The FAA 

eliminated the terms of the HDR 

applicable at LGA; however, the 

demand for flights at LGA and resultant 

severe congestion prompted the FAA to 

re-impose quotas by means of an order 

published in 2006 and subsequently 

amended (‘‘LGA Order’’ or ‘‘Order’’).4

The LGA Order, issued under the FAA’s 

authority to regulate the use of 

navigable airspace,5 assigned to the 

incumbent carriers at LGA their slot 

interest holdings and authorized them 

to lease or trade authorizations for any 

consideration for the duration of the 

Order. The Order, originally scheduled 

to expire October 24, 2009, was 

extended through October 29, 2011. The 

Order does not allow for the purchase 

or sale of slot interests at LGA, and the
