The FAA has d ete rmined that good cau se exists for not publishing a s ummary of the petition in the Federal Reu i ster because the requ es ted exe mption wou ld not se t a precedent and any de lay in act in g o n thi s petition wo uld be d e trim e nt al to Sam yak. The FAA ha s i ss u ed gra nt s of exe mption in circ um s tances similar in all materi a l re s pects to tho se pr ese nt ed in yo ur petition.

The FAA further found that the petitio n wo uld no t se t a ny new precedent s r ega rdin g th e use of r es traint syste ms by persons with disabiliti es.
