Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2012-1060

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for an extension ofExemption No. 10651. It transmits our decision, exp lains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends
. 

### The Basis for Our Decision By letter posted September 9, 2014, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on beha lf ofJack Patrick Balogh for an extension of exemption No
. 10651 from § 121.311(b) ofTitle 14, Code ofFederal Regulations (14 CFR)
. That extension, if granted, would allow Jack Patrick to continue exceeding the specified weight and height limit for an FAA

-approved child restraint system (CAReS, manufactured by AmSafe Corporation) during use ofthat child restraint system (CRS) aboard a United States (U.S.) aircraft The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary ofthe petition in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Jack Patrick. The FAA has issued grants ofexemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grants ofExemption Nos. 7831 and 8264 (copies enclosed), the FAA found that numerous people with physical challenges had previously completed flights using restraint systems. The use ofthese restraint systems addressed unique physical needs regarding safety, support, and security in the same manner ofoperations as described in this petition. The FAA further found that the petition would not set any new precedents regarding the use ofrestraint systems by persons with disabilities.

AFS-14-465-E2 Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that

- • they are similar in all material respects to relief previously requested in the enclosed Grant ofExemption Nos. 7831 and 8264; • the reasons stated by the FAA for granting the enclosed Grant ofExemption Nos. 7831 and 8264 also apply to the situation you present; and • a grant ofexemption is in the public interest. Our Decision Under the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. §§ 106(f), 40113 and 44701, which the FAA Administrator has delegated to me, I hereby grant Jack Patrick Balogh an extension of exemption No. 10651 from§ 121
. 31l(b). In addition, any air carrier or commercial operator operating under part 121 while Jack Patrick is aboard its aircraft is f,Tfanted an exemption from 14 CFR § 121.311 (b) to the extent necessary to allow him to exceed the specified weight and height limit for an FAA-approved CRS during use aboard a U.S. aircraft. All operations under this exemption must be conducted with Jack Patrick's parent or a caregiver accompanying him
. Jack Patrick Balogh may only occupy a passenger seat with no passenger seated behind him. In addition, Jack Patrick's parent or caregiver must carry a copy ofthis exemption and advise the air carrier about the contents ofthe exemption at least 48 hours before the date of each flight. This exemption terminates on October 31, 2019, unless sooner superseded or rescinded. Sincerely,
