Dear Ms. Mobus: 

800 Independence Ave .. S W 

Washinglon. DC. 20591 

This letter is to inform you that we closed the file related to your request of March 18, 2016 in 

which you had requested an exemption for a CARES system. The reason for us to close the 

file was that you already have a CARES exemption on file, which will expire March 31 , 2019. 

We mailed you copy of your exemption (additional copy attached here) No. 10953, which is 

still current in our files; we also remind you that there is a copy uploaded to your docket 

(F AA-2014-0047). So, you can also retrieve copy of your existing exemption from the docket. 

Go to regulations.gov and then type your docket number to find your exemption. 

Please let us know if, at this point, you need anything else from us, otherwise, we look 

forward to hearing from you to initiate your extension in early 2019 when your existing 

exemption will expire. Please note that we request at least 120 days advance notice, prior to 

your travel. 

Thank you for your time and please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any 

further questions or require additional assistance .

Dear Ms. Mobus: 

Exemption No. I 095) 

800 lnd!·IICn:Jencl' Ave S .v 

WaShlflg'on 0 C ?059• 

Regulatory Docket No. r AA-20 14-0047 

This letter is to intorm you that we have granted your reque!\t ror exemption. It transmits our 

decision. explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations <'I' the exL·mption. 

including the date it ends. 

The Basis for Our Decision 

By letter dated J<muaty 24. 2014. you petitioned the Federal A ,·iation Administration (r t\1\) 

for an exemption from § 121.311(b) ofTitle 14. Code of Federal Regulations (14 CrR). That 

exemption. if granted, would allow you to exceed the specitied weight limit for un r AAapproved child restraint system (CAReS. manufactured by Am Sale Corporation) during usc: o r 

that child restraint system (CARS} aboard a United States J.~.' aircmll. In your r:asc. 

because you are 18 years of age, an excmptior. must also he gnnted frCln' th~: rcql'i•\'mcnt in 

§ 12 1.311 (h). that the individual be a "child". 

The F/\1\ has detennined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary or the 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 you. 

The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to 

those presented in your petition. In Grants of Exemption Nos. 7831 and 8264 (copies 

enclosed), the FAA found that numerous people with physical challenges had previously 

completed flights using restraint systems. The use of these restraint systems addressed unique 

physical needs regarding safety, support, and security in the same manner of operations as 

AFS-14-133-E 
described in this petition. The FAA further found that the petition, if granted, would not set 

any new precedents regarding the use of restraint systems by persons with disabilities. 

Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that-

• they do not differ materially from those presented by the petitioner in the enclosed Grant 

of Exemption Nos. 7831 and 8264. 

• the reasons stated by the FAA for granting the enclosed Grant of Exemption Nos. 7831 

and 8264 also apply to the situation you present; and 

• a grant of exemption 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 you (Annab Mobus) exemption from 

§ 121.311 (b). In addition, any air carrier or commercial operator operating under part 121 

while you are aboard its aircraft is granted an exemption from 14 CFR § 121 .311 (b) to the 

extent necessary to allow you to exceed the specified weight limit for an FAA-approved CRS 

during use of that CRS aboard a U.S. aircraft. 

2 

All operations under this exemption must be conducted with at least a caregiver 

accompanying you. You may only occupy a passenger seat with no passenger seated behind 

you. In addition, you or your caregiver must carry a copy of this exemption and advise the air 

carrier about the contents of the exemption at least 48 hours before the date of each flight. 

This exemption tenninates on March 31, 2019, unless sooner superseded or rescinded. 

Sincerely, 

JJ.:'!1Jh
