# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Comments Invited

You are invited to comment on the draft order listed in this notice by sending such written data, views, or arguments to the above listed address. Please identify “FAA TSO-44d, Fuel Flowmeter Technical Standard Order” as the subject of your comments.

## Background

                    The failure condition specified in TSO-C44c, Paragraph 3.b., was incorrectly identified as “                    *hazardous*.” The proposed revision offered by this                     **Federal Register**                     Notice revises Paragraph 3.b. to state the following: “Develop each fuel Flowmeter to at least the design assurance level equal to the failure condition classification of the system on which the Flowmeter is to be installed.” The proposed draft changes no other MPS requirement of TSO-C44.
