Aviation Maintenance Instructor

Tulsa Tech

Dear Ms. Oxley:

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption

No. 10679 . It explains the basis for our decision and describes its effect.

The Basis for Our Decision

By letter dated January 1 3, 2014

, you petitioned the Fed eral Aviation Ad m inistration (FAA) on behalf of Tulsa Tech, for an extension of exe m ption from § 147.21 of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). The exemption permits students of Tulsa Tech that participate in the Kid Venture/Oshkosh Air Venture pr ogram and allows authorized faculty members of Tulsa Tech to determine if the student time dedicated to preparing for and participating in the Kid Venture/Oshkosh Air Venture program activities may be considered creditable to satisfy the requirements of § 147.21

.

In your petition, you indicate there have been no change s in the conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption.

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishi ng a summary of the petition

in the Federal Register

. T he reque sted extension of the exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be det rimental to Tulsa Tech
