SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Reporting Requirements for 

Disability-Related Complaints 

OMB Control Number: 2105–0551 

Type of Request: Renewal of 

Information Collection Request 

Background: On July 8, 2003, the 

Office of the Secretary published a final 

rule that requires most certificated U.S. 

and foreign air carriers operating to, 

from and within the U.S. that conduct 

passenger-carrying service utilizing at 

least one large aircraft to record 

complaints that they receive alleging 

inadequate accessibility or 

discrimination on the basis of disability. 

The carriers must also categorize these 

complaints according to the type of 

disability and nature of complaint, 

prepare a summary report annually of 

the complaints received during the 

preceding calendar year, submit the 

report to the Department’s Aviation 

Consumer Protection Division, and 

retain copies of correspondence and 

records of action taken on the reported 

complaints for three years. The rule 

requires carriers to submit their annual 

report via the World Wide Web except 

if the carrier can demonstrate an undue 

burden by doing so and receives 

permission from the Department to 

submit it in an alternative manner. The 

first required report covered disabilityrelated complaints received by carriers 

during calendar year 2004, which was 

due to the Department on January 31, 

2005. Carriers have been required to 

submit all subsequent reports on the last 

Monday in January for the prior 

calendar year. 

Respondents: Certificated U.S. and 

foreign air carriers operating to, from, 

and within the United States that 

conduct passenger-carrying service with 

at least one large aircraft. 

Requirements Number of 

respondents

Retain Correspondences and Record of Action Taken ......... 175 0 to 5,000 .............. 1 hour .................... 175 hours 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimate of the burden 

of the proposed information collection; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record.

Consensus Standards, Light-Sport 

Aircraft 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of eleven revised consensus 

standards relating to the provisions of 

the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft 

rule issued July 16, 2004, and effective 

September 1, 2004. ASTM International 

Committee F37 on Light Sport Aircraft 

developed the revised standards with 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

participation. By this notice, the FAA 

finds the revised standards acceptable 

for certification of the specified aircraft 

under the provisions of the Sport Pilot 

and Light-Sport Aircraft rule. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before June 15, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces the availability of 

eleven revised consensus standards that 

supersede previously accepted 

consensus standards relating to the 

provisions of the Sport Pilot and LightSport Aircraft rule. ASTM International 

Committee F37 on Light-Sport Aircraft 

developed the revised standards. The 

FAA expects a suitable consensus 

standard to be reviewed periodically. 

The review cycle will result in a 

standard revision or reapproval. A 

standard is revised to make changes to 

its technical content or is reapproved to 

indicate a review cycle has been 

completed with no technical changes. A 

standard is issued under a fixed 

designation (e.g., F2245); the number 

immediately following the designation 

indicates the year of original adoption 

or, in the case of revision, the year of 

last revision. A number in parentheses 

following the year of original adoption 

or revision indicates the year of last 

reapproval. For example, F2242–05 

(2013) designates a standard that was 

originally adopted (or revised) in 2005 

and reapproved in 2013. A superscript 

epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change 

since the last revision or reapproval. A 

notice of availability (NOA) will only be 

issued for new or revised standards. 

Reapproved standards issued with no 

technical changes or standards issued 

with editorial changes only (i.e., 

superscript epsilon [e]) are considered 

accepted by the FAA without need for 

an NOA. 

Comments Invited: Interested persons 

are invited to submit such written data, 

views, or arguments, as they may desire. 

Communications should identify the 

consensus standard number and be 

submitted to the address specified 

above. All communications received on 

or before the closing date for comments 

will be forwarded to ASTM 

International Committee F37 for 

consideration. The standard may be 

changed in light of the comments 

received. The FAA will address all 

comments received during the recurring 

review of the consensus standard and 

will participate in the consensus 

standard revision process. 

Background: Under the provisions of 

the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft 

rule, and revised Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) Circular A–119, 

‘‘Federal Participation in the 

Development and Use of Voluntary 

Consensus Standards and in Conformity 

Assessment Activities’’, dated February 

10, 1998, industry and the FAA have 

been working with ASTM International 

to develop consensus standards for 

light-sport aircraft. These consensus 

standards satisfy the FAA’s goal for 

airworthiness certification and a 

verifiable minimum safety level for 

light-sport aircraft. Instead of 

developing airworthiness standards 

through the rulemaking process, the 

FAA participates as a member of 

Committee F37 in developing these 

standards. The use of the consensus 

standard process assures government 

and industry discussion and agreement 

on appropriate standards for the 

required level of safety. 

Comments on Previous Notices of 

Availability 

In the Notice of Availability (NOA) 

issued on February 21, 2014, and 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 27, 2014 the FAA asked for 

public comments on the new and 

revised consensus standards accepted 

by that NOA. The comment period 

closed on April 28, 2014. No public 

comments were received regarding the 

standards accepted by this NOA. 

Consensus Standards in This Notice of 

Availability 

The FAA has reviewed the standards 

presented in this NOA for compliance 

with the regulatory requirements of the 

rule. Any light-sport aircraft issued a 

special light-sport airworthiness 

certificate, which has been designed, 

manufactured, operated and 

maintained, in accordance with this and 

previously accepted ASTM consensus 

standards provides the public with the 

appropriate level of safety established 

under the regulations. Manufacturers 

who choose to produce these aircraft 

and certificate these aircraft under 14 

CFR 21.190 or 21.191 are subject to the 

applicable consensus standard 

requirements. The FAA maintains a 

listing of all accepted standards on the 

FAA Web site. 

The Revised Consensus Standard and 

Effective Period of Use 

The following previously accepted 

consensus standards have been revised, 

and this NOA is accepting the later 

revision. Either the previous revision or 

the later revision may be used for the 

initial certification of special light-sport 

aircraft until October 15, 2015. This 

overlapping period of time will allow 

aircraft that have started the initial 

certification process using the previous 

revision level to complete that process. 

After October 15, 2015, manufacturers 

must use the later revision and must 

identify the later revision in the 

Statement of Compliance for initial 

certification of special light-sport 

aircraft unless the FAA publishes a 

specific notification otherwise. The 

following Consensus Standards may not 

be used after October 15, 2015:

The following previously accepted 

consensus standard has been revised, 

and this NOA is accepting the later 

revision. Either the previous revision or 

the later revision may be used for the

overlapping period of time will allow 

aircraft that have started the initial
