Subject: SSM Recommendations

Melanie, 
 
I went through the RTC document, looked at some engine manufacturers operating manuals, 
and some other information we've gotten on the SSM issue and summarized the 
recommendations in the attachment.  I was waiting to see if EMA, API, and INGAA would 
provide some more information on this topic and I would include that, but we've only heard 
back from EMA.  
 
Based on the information we have, for startup, it seems that specifying a time limit of 30 
minutes might be appropriate and include the provision to petition the Administrator if 
additional time is needed in special cases.  
 
I can formalize the information into a memo if you want.  Just let me know, but I just 
wanted to get the information out to you.
