Background

The FAA established the Aviation

Rulemaking Advisory Committee

(ARAC) in January 1991 to provide an

ongoing mechanism to accept

recommendations from the aviation

industry in the regulatory process (56

FR 2190; January 22, 1991; and 58 FR

9230; February 19, 1993). In March

1993, the FAA established the Parts

Working Group as part of ARAC (58 FR

16572; March 29, 1993). The Parts

Working Group was tasked with

recommending to ARAC new

regulations and guidance material, as

appropriate, pertaining to the issuance

and administration of approvals of

replacement and modification parts for

civil aircraft. The proposed TSO in this

notice is based on a draft proposed TSO

developed by the Parts Working Group

and recommended to the FAA by the

ARAC.

The standards or proposed TSO–C149

apply to aircraft bearings intended for

anti-friction rotation and/or oscillatory

applications in the manufacture and

maintenance of aircraft products.

Proposed TSO–C149 provides

alternative requirements for making

each individual bearing. Each bearing

must be marked with at least the name

or symbol of the manufacturer, the

manufacturer’s part number, and the

TSO number. When this is not practical,

marking may be accomplished in a

manner approved by the Administrator.

Also, in addition to the marking

specified in 14 CFR 607(d), the seal

type, the lubrication date (if applicable),

and the manufacturer’s inspection lot

number shall be marked on each

package and container.

How to Obtain Copies

A copy of the proposed TSO–C149

may be obtained via Internet (http:/

www.faa.gov/avr/air/100home.htm) or

on request from the office listed under

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
