Mr. and Mrs. Chris Guerrero Parent of Ryan Guerrero 1133 South Whippoorwill Lane Palatine, IL 60067 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Guerrero : This letter is to inform you that we are unable to process your request for an extension of Exemption No. 10655 from § 121.311(b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). This letter explains why we can not process your request and what you should in the next 20 days. Why We Can n o t Process Your Request We entered your August 25, 2014 extension requ est into the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS) under docket number: FAA

Cut and paste that information into a letter, fill in all of the necessary blanks and bold items and after you finish the letter go to the F DMS a t www.regulations.gov and type your docket number (FAA

- 2012

- 1179 ) to upload your letter. What You Should Do If you want us to process your extension request any further, you must send the information described e arlier to reach us w ithin 2 0 days , in order for us to attempt to positively overlap the expiration of your active current Exemption . We will consider the docket on your request open for the 20 days noted to give you time to provide the required informatio n. If We Do Not Hear From You If we do not hear from you within 2 0 days, we may close the docket without notifying you furt her.2

If We Do Hear From You Once the FAA receives your complete request , processing the extension (technical analysis, a decisi on regarding a grant or denial of the extension and transmitting the grant or denial to you) typically takes about 45

- 60 days. When the FAA grants this type of extension , it is usually eff

ective for five years. However, in the event that you do not secure the extension on time and you wish to fly before you secure an extension, w e wanted to give you some information and options so you can make informed choices regarding your travel. If a child exceeds the weight limit or the height limit for CARES, FAA regulations prohibi t the use of CARES during taxi, takeoff and landing on U.S. aircraft. However, even if a child exceeds 44 pounds or 40 inches, he or she can use CARES anytime except for taxi, take off and landing (which means there is no regulation that prohibits use of C ARES during cruise flight). You may also wish to think about using an FAA Approved Child Restraint System ( CRS ) that can accommodate a larger child. Air carriers are required to allow the use of approved CRS s if a child is within the approved weight and height requirements and a ticket has been purchased for the child. The FAA does not recommend any particular CRS ; however, below we have provided some websites where you can find CRSs (approved for use in automobiles and aircraft) that can be used with ch ildren up to 150 pounds and five feet tall. The FAA considers anyone who has not reached their 18th birthday to be a child for the purpose of our regulations regarding CRSs ; therefore, a child could use a CRS that accommodates their weight and height on an y US airline until they turn 18 years of age
