Exemption No. 4902M provides temporary relief, under certain conditions and limitations, from specific provisions of 14 CFR Part 43, Appendix B, Paragraph (d); 14 CFR §45.11(a) and (d); and §91.203(c), and §91.417(d) to the extent necessary to allo w all aircraft operating under P art 121 and all aircraft operating in commuter operations (as defined in §119.3) under an FAA

.identification plates and carriage of FAA Form 337 as evidence of installation approval for fuel

tank installations in the passenger or a baggage compartment.

Exe mption No. 4902 was originally issued in response to a petition filed by the Air Transport Association of America ( ATA ), precursor to A4A, on November 17, 1987, for a permanent exemption from the aforesaid rules. In as much as A4 A members were not the specific targets of the rules, (adopted by the FAA, with U.S. Cust oms Service support), to facilitate the enforcement of U.S. drug trafficking laws, the FAA found the exemption for A4 A members would not adversely affect safety.

Justification for an extension of Exemption No. 4902M is the same as for the original Exempti on Petition, dated November 17, 1987. The conditions and circumstances with regard to public interest and safety, which warranted the original exemption, continue to exist. The exemption has been in use for 24 years with no known compromise of safety.

The renewal of this exemption is not a controversial issue. As the renewal of this
exempt ion is not precedent settin g, A4 A requests that publication in the Federal Register be

waived.

Your consideration and approval of this request is appreciated.
