Establishment of the Office of Dispute

Resolution for Acquisition (ODR)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of establishment.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) is announcing the

establishment, within the FAA Office of

the Chief Counsel, of the Office of

Dispute Resolution for Acquisition

(ODR). Protests and contract disputes

related to FAA Screening Information

Requests (SIRs), contract awards, and

contracts, must be filed directly with

this office.

ADDRESSES: The complete text of the

FAA’s new Acquisition Management

System (including the section on

Resolution of Protests and Disputes) is

available on the Internet at http://

www.faa.gov/asu/asu100/acq-reform/

acqlhome.htm. Use of the Internet

World Web Site is strongly encouraged

for access to copies of the FAA

Acquisition Management System. If

Internet service is not available, requests

for copies may be made to the following

address: FAA Acquisition Reform,

ASU–100, Rm. 435, 800 Independence

Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Jerome P. Jones, Jr., Acting Director,

Office of Dispute Resolution, Federal

Aviation Administration, 800

Independence Avenue SW.—Suite 900

East, Washington, DC 20591, (202) 267–

3222. Please also use this address when

filing protests or contract disputes with

the FAA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

October 31, 1995, Congress passed an

act, Making Appropriations for the

Department of Transportation and

Related Agencies, for the Fiscal Year

Ending September 30, 1996, and for

Other Purposes (the 1996 DOT

Appropriations Act). On November 15,

1995, the President signed this bill into

law. In Section 348 of this law, Congress

directed the Administrator of the FAA

to develop and implement a new

acquisition management system that

addresses the unique needs of the

agency. At a minimum, this system is to

provide for more timely and costeffective acquisitions. The FAA’s new

acquisition management system went

into effect on April 1, 1996 [see Notice

of availability at 61 FR 15155 (April 4,

1996)]. As part of this system, the FAA

has developed an internal mechanism

for resolving disputes, one that will help

ensure that offerors and contractors are

treated fairly and that disputes are

resolved as quickly and inexpensively

as possible for all parties. Protests

concerning SIRs and award of contracts,

as well as disputes pertaining to

contract administration, will be

resolved, within the agency, through the

FAA Dispute Resolution System. The

new system will rely heavily on

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

techniques.

The FAA Office of Dispute Resolution

is established as an organization that is

independent of agency organizations

responsible for procurement actions and

that reports to the FAA Chief Counsel.

In addition to a Director, the office staff

will, in time, include other Dispute

Resolution Officers as warranted. The

office is located at FAA Headquarters.

On a case-by-case basis, the ODR staff

may be augmented by Dispute

Resolution Officers in the FAA’s

regional offices and centers or by third

party neutrals, as deemed necessary by

the FAA Chief Counsel. The FAA will

promulgate rules of procedure

governing the dispute resolution

process. Until these rules are finalized,

procedures and other provisions related

to dispute resolution will be included or

referenced in all FAA SIRs and

contracts, made available to offerors and

contractors upon request, or provided

through briefings.

Issued in Washington, DC, on May 7, 1996.

Nicholas G. Garaufis,

Chief Counsel, AGC–1.

BILLING CODE 4910–13–M

Powered Parachute Design Standards

for Acceptance Under Primary

Category

AGENCY: Federal Aviation (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

availability of design standards for

powered parachutes achieving

acceptance under primary category.

Powered parachute design standards are

applicable designs providing one-to-four

seats, 2,700 pound maximum takeoff

weight, and minimum level flight speed

of 61 knots or less.

DISCUSSION: Sport aviation, essentially a

fly-for-fun activity, is dependent upon

simple, low performance, low cost

airplanes. The FAA recognizes this in

the creation of primary category (14 CFR

part 21, § 21.17), which establishes a

simpler process for certification,

production control, and establishment

of design standards for all types of

aircraft. In view of the fully supportive

comments, this notice makes available

design standards for powered parachute

airplanes. The value of this class of

airplane is demonstrated by the number

of 14 CFR part 103 ultralite and

amateur-built designs currently active

with over 500,000 flight hours

accumulated.

ADDRESSES: Copies of Powered

Parachute Design Standards can be

obtained from the following: Small

Airplane Directorate, Standards Office

(ACE–110), Aircraft Certification

Service, Federal Aviation

Administration, 601 East 12th Street,

Kansas City, MO 64106.
