# o r the petition in th e F edera l Regi s ter because the r equ es t ed exe mpti on wo uld no t set a pre cedent and an y delay in ac tin g on this pe titi o n wo uld be detrimental to you. Th e FAA has issued gra nt s o f exemptio n in c ircum s t ance s s imil a r in all material respects to tho se presented in you r petition
. In Grants of Exempt ion Nos. 783 1 and 8264 (copies enc losed), the FAA found that numerou s p eop le with ph ys ica l cha lle nges had pr e vious l y comp leted fli g hts using re s traint sys tem s. The u se of the se re straint syste m s addressed uniqu e phy sica l n eeds regardin g sa f ety , s upp ort , and secu rity in the same mann e r of opera ti o n s as AFS- 14- 1 33 -Edescribed in this petition. The FAA further found that the petition, if granted, wo uld n ot 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 mate rially 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 ofExemption Nos. 7831 and 8264 also apply to the situation you present; and • a grant of exemption is in the publ ic interest. O ur Decis i on 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 § 121.3 11 (b). In addition , any air carrier or commercia l 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 al l ow you to exceed the specified weight 

### limi t 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 l east 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 exempt ion at least 48 hours before the date of each flight. This exemption tenninates on March 31, 2019, unless sooner superseded or rescinded. Sincere l y,
