Box 3 707 Seattle, WA 98124 Dear Ms. Randles : This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption No. 9569, as amended. It explains the basis for our decision and describes its effect. The Basis for Our Decision By lette r dated June 21, 2013 , you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of The Boeing Company (Boeing) for an extension of Exemption No. 9569, as amended. That exemption from § 91.611 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations permits Boei ng to conduct ferry flights with one engine inoperative on its Boeing 707, 720, 727, 747, DC - 10, MD - 10, and MD - 11 airplanes without obtaining a special ferry permit. In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reaso ns 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 publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested extension of the e xemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Boeing.2 Our Decision The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 9569, as amended, remains valid with respect to t his exemption and is in the public interest.
