 Exemption No. 8568C 

 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2001-9782 

Mr. Peter M. McNeil 

Clarke Mosquito Control 

159 North Garden Avenue 

Roselle, IL 60172 

Dear Mr. McNeil: 

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

Exemption No. 8568, as amended. 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 4, 2011, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 

behalf of Clarke Mosquito Control (CMC) for an extension of and amendment to Exemption 

No. 8568, as amended. That exemption from § 91.313 of Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations allows CMC to carry passengers in certain aircraft, certificated in the restricted 

category, while performing aerial-site survey flights. The amendment you request would 

remove the Soloy Bell 47 (Registration No. N2618W). 

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 good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition 

in the Federal Register because the requested extension of amendment to the exemption 

would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to 

CMC.

Our Decision 

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 8568, as 

amended, remains valid with respect to this exemption and is in the public interest. 

Therefore, under the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 40113 and 44701, which the FAA 

Administrator has delegated to me, Exemption No. 8568, as amended, is hereby further 

amended to allow CMC to operate its Bell 206 B3 (N324CM), subject to the following 

conditions and limitations. 

Conditions and Limitations 

1. Aircraft operated under the authority of this exemption must be dual-certificated in the 

restricted and standard airworthiness categories. 

2. Aircraft operating under the authority of this exemption must be operated with the 

spray tanks empty. 

3. The following passengers may be carried on board aircraft operating under the 

authority of this exemption: personnel of CMC, consultants to CMC, potential 

mosquito control customers, and county and municipal officials. 

4. Passengers carried on aircraft operating under the authority of this exemption must be 

notified before the flight that the operation is being conducted under this exemption 

from the provisions of the Federal Aviation Regulations that prohibit the carriage of 

passengers in aircraft certificated in the restricted category. 

5. When notified in writing, CMC must comply with any appended conditions and 

limitations set forth by the manager of the Flight Standards Division of the FAA Great 

Lakes regional office. 

The Effect of Our Decision 

Our decision extends the termination date of Exemption No. 8568, as amended, to 

June 30, 2013, unless sooner superseded or rescinded. 

This letter must be attached to, and is a part of, Exemption No. 8568. 

Sincerely, 

/s/ 

John M. Allen 

Director, Flight Standards Service
