Consensus Standards, Light-Sport 

Aircraft 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of three new and three 

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 new 

and revised standards with Federal 

Aviation Administration (FAA) 

participation. By this notice, the FAA 

finds the new and 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 22, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed 

to: Federal Aviation Administration, 

Small Airplane Directorate, Programs 

and Procedures Branch, ACE–114, 

Attention: Terry Chasteen, Room 301, 

901 Locust, Kansas City, Missouri 

64106. Comments may also be emailed 

to: 9-ACE-AVR-LSA-Comments@faa.gov. 

All comments must be marked: 

Consensus Standards Comments, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces the availability of 

three new and three revised consensus 

standards relating to the provisions of 

the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft 

rule. ASTM International Committee 

F37 on Light Sport Aircraft developed 

the new and revised standards. The 

FAA expects a suitable consensus 

standard to be reviewed at least every 

two years. The two-year review cycle 

will result in a standard revision or 

reapproval. A standard is issued under 

a fixed designation (i.e., F2244); 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 indicates the 

year of last reapproval. A reapproval 

indicates a two-year review cycle 

completed with no technical changes. 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 a 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 July 20, 2011, and published 

in the Federal Register on July 29, 2011 

the FAA asked for public comments on 

the new and revised consensus 

standards accepted by that NOA. The 

comment period closed on September

24252 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 78 / Monday, April 23, 2012 / Notices 

27, 2011. 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 part 21, §§ 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 22, 2012. 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 22, 2012, 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 22, 2012: 

ASTM Designation F2245–10c, titled: 

Standard Specification for Design and 

Performance of a Light Sport Airplane. 

ASTM Designation F2352–09, titled: 

Standard Specification for Design and 

Performance of Light Sport Gyroplane 

Aircraft. 

ASTM Designation F2564–09, titled: 

Standard Specification for Design and 

Performance of a Light Sport Glider 

The Consensus Standards 

The FAA finds the following new and 

revised consensus standards acceptable 

for certification of the specified aircraft 

under the provisions of the Sport Pilot 

and Light-Sport Aircraft rule. The 

following consensus standards become 

effective April 23, 2012 and may be 

used unless the FAA publishes a 

specific notification otherwise: 

ASTM Designation F2245–11, titled: 

Standard Specification for Design and 

Performance of a Light Sport Airplane.

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Release From Federal Grant 

Assurance Obligations for Sacramento 

International Airport (SMF), 

Sacramento, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, US DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Request to Release 

Airport Land. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) proposes to rule 

and invites public comment on the 

application for a release of two parcels 

of land comprising approximately 6.50 

acres of airport property at the 

Sacramento International Airport, 

California. The County of Sacramento 

proposes to release the 6.50 acres for 

sale to the California’s Reclamation 

District 1000 at fair market value. The 

two parcels of land are occupied in their 

entirety by a storm water drainage canal 

and pumping plant owned and operated 

by Reclamation District 1000 and do not 

serve any aviation purposes. The 

property serves as a regional drainage 

canal and pumping plant to support 

facilities for transporting storm water 

away from developed and undeveloped 

property, including part of the 

Sacramento International Airport in the 

southwest section of the Natomas Basin. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before May 23, 2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Comments on the request may be mailed 

or delivered to the FAA at the following 

address: Robert Y. Lee, Airports 

Compliance Specialist, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Airports Division, 

Federal Register Comment,1000 Marina 

Boulevard, Suite 220, Brisbane, CA 

94005. In addition, one copy of the 

comment submitted to the FAA must be 

mailed or delivered to Mr. Greg Rowe, 

Senior Environmental Analyst, County 

of Sacramento, 6900 Airport Boulevard, 

Sacramento, California 95837. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 

Aviation Investment and Reform Act for 

the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 

106–181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), 

this notice must be published in the 

Federal Register 30 days before the 

Secretary may waive any condition 

imposed on a federally obligated airport 

by surplus property conveyance deeds 

or grant agreements. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

The County of Sacramento, California 

requested a release from grant assurance 

obligations for approximately 6.50 acres 

of land that is not contiguous to the 

airport and located southwest of the 

airport between the Sacramento River 

and Interstate Highway 5. The property 

was originally acquired as two separate 

parcels, one measuring 6.27 acres and 

the other 0.18 acres. The Federal 

Aviation Administration’s Federal Aid 

to Airports Program, FAAP 9–04–130– 

6401, provided partial grant funding to 

acquire the property. 

Due to the parcels’ location and use, 

the property has no alternative airport 

use. The property was improved for 

flood control purpose and continues to 

serve that purpose. The larger parcel
