E:\FR\FM\05MYN1.SGM 05MYN1 23904 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 86 / Thursday, May 5, 2005 / Notices Background Though now cancelled, ‘‘Metallic Materials and Elements for Aerospace Vehicle Structures’’ (MIL–HDBK–5) continues to be used as a primary source of statistically based design allowables for metallic materials and fastened joints used in the U.S. military and commercial aerospace design. As such, the handbook was kept current for almost 50 years by joint government and industry effort. In 1997, the Air Force began to shift from military to commercial specifications which forced the aviation industry to find an alternative approach to sustain MIL–HDBK–5. Because MIL– HDBK–5 remains critical to commercial aircraft certification and the maintenance and continued airworthiness of the commercial fleet, the FAA has assumed responsibility for the management of this essential reference document. In support of aircraft certification, the FAA intends to make the MMPDS Handbook the primary source of metallic materials and fastener allowable properties demonstrated to comply with FAA airworthiness requirements. In addition, the FAA is proposing a plan to sustain the Handbook and secure funding for maintaining MMPDS from multiple sources, including other government agencies, industry stakeholders, the private sector, and from sales of the handbook and related products.

Background Under 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e), the FMCSA may grant an exemption for a 2-year period if it finds ‘‘such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such exemption.’’ The statute also allows the agency to renew exemptions at the end of the 2-year period. The five individuals listed in this notice have recently requested an exemption from the diabetes prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3), which applies to drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce. Accordingly, the agency will evaluate the qualifications of each applicant to determine whether granting the exemption will achieve the required level of safety mandated by the statute. Qualifications of Applicants 1. Gerald E. Huelle Mr. Huelle, age 57, has had insulintreated diabetes mellitus since 1994. He has had no hypoglycemic reactions resulting in loss of consciousness, requiring the assistance of another person, or resulting in impaired cognitive function that occurred without warning in the past 5 years. His endocrinologist examined him in 2004 and stated he ‘‘is quite well versed on how to treat either hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia should it occur. Jerry [Gerald] has shown a very good level of motivation to try to control his diabetes. E:\FR\FM\05MYN1.SGM 05MYN1

Background

    Though now cancelled, ``Metallic Materials and Elements for 
Aerospace Vehicle Structures'' (MIL-HDBK-5) continues to be used as a 
primary source of statistically based design allowables for metallic 
materials and fastened joints used in the U.S. military and commercial 
aerospace design. As such, the handbook was kept current for almost 50 
years by joint government and industry effort.
    In 1997, the Air Force began to shift from military to commercial 
specifications which forced the aviation industry to find an 
alternative approach to sustain MIL-HDBK-5. Because MIL-HDBK-5 remains 
critical to commercial aircraft certification and the maintenance and 
continued airworthiness of the commercial fleet, the FAA has assumed 
responsibility for the management of this essential reference document.
    In support of aircraft certification, the FAA intends to make the 
MMPDS Handbook the primary source of metallic materials and fastener 
allowable properties demonstrated to comply with FAA airworthiness 
requirements.
    In addition, the FAA is proposing a plan to sustain the Handbook 
and secure funding for maintaining MMPDS from multiple sources, 
including other government agencies, industry stakeholders, the private 
sector, and from sales of the handbook and related products.
