SEC. 368. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PROPOSED FEDERAL 
AVIATION 
ADMINISTRATION 
CHANGES 
TO 
FLIGHT CREW MEMBER DUTY AND REST RE-
QUIREMENTS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Section 212 of the Airline Safety and Federal 
Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010 (Pub-
lic Law 111–216; 49 U.S.C. 44701 note) directed the 
Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administra-
tion to issue regulations, based on the best available 
scientific information, to specify limitations on the 
hours of flight and duty time allowed for pilots to ad-
dress problems relating to pilot fatigue. 
(2) On September 14, 2010, the Federal Aviation 
Administration issued a Notice of Proposed Rule-
making titled ‘‘Flightcrew Member Duty and Rest Re-
quirements’’. 
(3) Between March 2010 and March 2011, the 
Air Mobility Command and its Civil Reserve Air 
Fleet partners airlifted more than 2,000,000 pas-
sengers and 848,000 tons of cargo around the world 
in support of the missions of the Department of De-
fense. 
(4) An Air Force Institute of Technology study 
titled ‘‘Civil Reserve Airlift Fleet (CRAF) Crew Rest 
Study’’ analyzed 2264 missions flown by Civil Re-

serve Air Fleet carriers under contract with the De-
partment of Defense between May and September 
2011, and concluded that over 80 percent of those 
missions may have been infeasible had the proposed 
rule referred to in paragraph (2) been in effect during 
such period. 
(5) On February 15, 2011, General Duncan J. 
McNabb, Commander of the United States Transpor-
tation Command, wrote to the Administrator of the 
Federal Aviation Administration expressing signifi-
cant concern about the proposed rule change and stat-
ing that the Operational Risk Management approach 
of the United States Transportation Command miti-
gated operational hazards and included ‘‘reasonable 
measures to reduce risk to personnel, equipment and 
the mission’’. In the letter, General McNabb noted 
that he believes there is room for proper exceptions to 
the proposed rule and went on to write that ‘‘through 
cooperation, we can develop mutually acceptable 
guidelines that not only mitigate the impact of crew 
fatigue, but afford all carriers the flexibility to imple-
ment safer aircrew processes’’. 
(6) The United States Transportation Command 
is relying heavily on the Civil Reserve Air Fleet as 
a critical partner as they effectively and efficiently

deploy and sustain the warfighter in simultaneous 
operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya and in 
relief operations in Japan. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that— 
(1) when faced with immediate and long-term 
world events, the superb team of the United States 
Transportation 
Command 
successfully 
overcomes 
many obstacles to support the national security objec-
tives of the United States with world-class logistics 
and the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program is one of the 
major reasons they deliver both combat power and hu-
manitarian relief on time, on target, and at best 
value to the taxpayer; 
(2) the Administrator of the Federal Aviation 
Administration should make every effort to ensure 
that any changes to guidelines, regulations, and rules 
of the Federal Aviation Administration, including 
changes to the Flightcrew Member Duty and Rest Re-
quirements, fully consider the impact of such changes 
on Civil Reserve Air Fleet carriers, the United States 
Transportation Command, and the Department of 
Defense; and

Administration, in consultation with the Commander

should develop guidelines that address not only crew

impact on the mission of the United States Transpor-
tation Command and the Department of Defense.
