## Petition for Exemption

*Docket No.:*                         FAA-2016-0833.                    

*Petitioner:*                         The Boeing Company.                    

*Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected:*                         § 21.9(a)(2).                    

*Description of Relief Sought:*                         The Boeing Company (Boeing) is seeking relief from 14 CFR 21.9(a)(2), which requires if a person knows, or should know, that a replacement or modification article is reasonably likely to be installed on a type-certificated product, the person may not produce that article unless it is produced under an FAA production approval. Specifically, Boeing is proposing the FAA grant an amendment to Exemption No. 16637B to produce, represent for sale, and sell new replacement parts for installation on Model CH-47D and CH-47F rotorcraft that commercial operators procured from United States allies, not just from the U.S. Army. United States allies, such as the Royal Netherlands Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, and United Kingdom Royal Air Force procured both CH-47D and CH-47F                               ( print page 86442)                            rotorcraft from Boeing, through direct commercial and foreign military sales.
