Air Carrier Contract Maintenance 

Requirements; Extension of Comment 

Period 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM); extension of comment period. 

SUMMARY: This action extends the 

comment period for an NPRM that was 

published November 13, 2012. In that 

rulemaking, the FAA proposed to 

amend the maintenance regulations for 

domestic, flag, and supplemental 

operations, and commuter and ondemand operations for aircraft type 

certificated with a passenger seating 

configuration of 10 seats or more 

(excluding any pilot seat). It would 

require these operators to develop 

policies, procedures, methods, and 

instructions for performing contract 

maintenance that are acceptable to the 

FAA and to include them in their 

maintenance manuals. It would also 

require the operators to provide a list to 

the FAA of all persons with whom they 

contract their maintenance. At the 

behest of several of their FAAcertificated air carrier members, 

Regional Air Cargo Carriers Association 

(RACCA) requested that the FAA extend 

the comment period closing date to 

allow time to adequately analyze the 

NPRM and prepare comments. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

NPRM published on November 13, 2012 

(77 FR 67584), was scheduled to close 

on February 11, 2013, and is extended 

until March 13, 2013.

9866 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 29 / Tuesday, February 12, 2013 / Proposed Rules 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the 

‘‘Additional Information’’ section for 

information on how to comment on this 

proposal and how the FAA will handle 

comments received. The ‘‘Additional 

Information’’ section also contains 

related information about the docket. In 

addition, there is information on 

obtaining copies of related rulemaking 

documents. 

Background 

On November 13, 2012, the FAA 

issued Notice No. 12–07, entitled ‘‘Air 

Carrier Contract Maintenance 

Requirements’’ (77 FR 67584). 

Comments to that document were to be 

received on or before February 11, 2013. 

By letter dated January 13, 2013, the 

Regional Air Cargo Carriers Association 

(RACCA) requested a 48-day extension 

of the comment period, to March 31, 

2013. The petitioner requested this 

extension to allow time to adequately 

assess the impact of the requirements 

proposed in the NPRM, prepare 

comments, and develop proposed 

alternatives. If enacted in its currentlyproposed form, RACCA believes the 

proposed rulemaking would result in 

significant unintended consequences, 

including greater operator cost and 

manpower requirements than those 

estimated in the NPRM, loss of 

efficiency, unbudgeted loss of aircraft 

availability, and a substantial additional 

workload for the FAA that would result 

in a diversion of FAA resources from 

more safety-critical tasks. It further 

believes that the rulemaking would add 

complication to the contract 

maintenance process without a 

quantifiable improvement in safety, and 

therefore it would not serve the public’s 

interest. 

While the FAA concurs with the 

petitioner’s request for an extension of 

the comment period on Notice No. 12– 

07, it does not support a 48-day 

extension. The FAA finds that an 

additional 30 days is sufficient for the 

petitioner to analyze the NPRM and 

provide meaningful comment to Notice 

No. 12–07. 

Absent unusual circumstances, the 

FAA does not anticipate any further 

extension of the comment period for 

this rulemaking. 

Extension of Comment Period 

In accordance with § 11.47(c) of Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations, the 

FAA has reviewed the petition made by 

RACCA for extension of the comment 

period to Notice No. 12–07. This 

petitioner has shown a substantive 

interest in the proposed rule and good 

cause for the extension. The FAA has 

determined that extension of the 

comment period is consistent with the 

public interest, and that good cause 

exists for taking this action. 

Accordingly, the comment period for 

Notice No. 12–07 is extended until 

March 13, 2013. 

Additional Information 

A. Comments Invited 

The FAA invites interested persons to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting written comments, data, or 

views. The agency also invites 

comments relating to the economic, 

environmental, energy, or federalism 

impacts that might result from adopting 

the proposals in this document. The 

most helpful comments reference a 

specific portion of the proposal, explain 

the reason for any recommended 

change, and include supporting data. To 

ensure the docket does not contain 

duplicate comments, commenters 

should send only one copy of written 

comments, or if comments are filed 

electronically, commenters should 

submit only one time. 

The FAA will file in the docket all 

comments it receives, as well as a report 

summarizing each substantive public 

contact with FAA personnel concerning 

this proposed rulemaking. Before acting 

on this proposal, the FAA will consider 

all comments it receives on or before the 

closing date for comments. The FAA 

will consider comments filed after the 

comment period has closed if it is 

possible to do so without incurring 

expense or delay. The agency may 

change this proposal in light of the 

comments it receives.
