Exemption No. 10344 A Regulatory Docket No. FAA

- 2011

Mr. Stephen Streeter

Parent of Nathan Streeter 767 Mulberry Lane Davis, CA 95616

Dear Mr. Streeter :

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption

No. 10344 . It explains the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists the conditions

and limitations.

The Basis for Our Decision

By letter dated April 22, 2013 , you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for

an ex tensi on of Exemption No. 10344. That exemption from § 121.311 (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allows you to travel in either a Tumble Forms Carrie Seat

Junior or a Columbia Medical 2400 Spirit Adjustable Positioning System APS Car Seat,

without you r occupying an FAA

- approved seat or berth with a separate belt properly secured

about you during movement on the surface, takeoff, and landing. The FAA finds that you al so require relief from § 135.128(a).

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption.

The FAA has determined that go od cause exists for not publishing a summary of 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.2

Our Decision

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 10344 remains valid with respect to this exemption and is in the public interest. A ny air carrier or commercial operator operating under part 121 or 135 while Nathan is aboard its aircraft is granted an exemption from 14 CFR § 121.311(b) to the extent necessary to allow him to use an FAA

- approved CRS aboard a U.S. aircraft

.

All operations under this exemption must be conducted with at least one of Nathan’s parents or a caregiver accompanying h im . Nath an Streeter may only occupy a passenger seat with no passenger seated behind h im . In addition, Nathan’s parent or 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 dat e of each flight.

Therefore, under the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 40113 and 44701, which the FAA Administrator has delegated to me, I grant your petition, subject to the following conditions

and limitations.

Conditions and Limitations

1. Nathan , while seated in either the Tumble Forms Carrie Seat Junior or Columbia Medical 2400 Spirit Adjustable Positioning System APS Car Seat

, must be secured with the travel chair’s internal restraint system. The Tumble Forms Carrie Seat Junior

or Columbia Medical 24 00 Spirit Adjustable Positioning System APS Car Seat must be secured in the airplane passenger seat by means of the airplane passenger seatbelt in accordance with the instructions provided with the Tumble Forms Carrie Seat Junior

or Columbia Medical 2400 S pirit Adjustable Positioning System APS Car Seat.

2. A parent or guardian must accompany Nathan on each flight conducted under this exemption. Nathan’s parent or guardian must carry a copy of this exemption while on

board the aircraft.

This exempti on termin ates on August 31, 201 8

, unless sooner superseded or rescinded.

Sincerely,

John S. Duncan Deputy Director, Flight Standards
