Petitions for Exemption
Docket No.: FAA–2005–21913.
Petitioner: Professional Aviation
Maintenance Association.
Section of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR
65.93(a) Inspection Authorization:
Renewal.
Description of Relief Sought: The
Professional Aviation Maintenance
Association (PAMA) requests this
exemption to permit a 15-day extension
from March 31 to April 15 for attendees
of the PAMA convention to submit
evidence of compliance with
§ 65.91(c)(1) through (4). PAMA
requests this exemption for 10 years,
through 2015.
Because of scheduling events beyond
PAMA’s control, the PAMA 2006
Aviation Maintenance Symposium, and
PAMA’s extensive technical education
programming, much of which is
approved training for Inspection
Authorization (IA) renewal, will be held
March 28–30, 2006. Many potential
attendees have already expressed
concern that they will not be able to
attend for purposes of IA renewal
because of the insufficient time to
provide the evidence of their training to
their respective Flight Standards District
Office before the end of March.
Inspection Authorization renewal
training is an important reason why
many maintenance professionals attend
PAMA’s annual Symposium.

developed these new and revised
standards.
Comments Invited: Interested persons
are invited to submit such written data,
views, or arguments, as they may desire.
Communications should identify the
consensus standard number and be
submitted to the address specified
above. All communications received on
or before the closing date for comments
will be forwarded to ASTM
International Committee F37 for
consideration. The standard may be
changed in light of the comments
received. The FAA will address all
comments received during the recurring
review of the consensus standard and
will participate in the consensus
standard revision process.
Background: Under the provisions of
the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft
rule, and revised Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Circular A–119,
‘‘Federal Participation in the
Development and Use of Voluntary
Consensus Standards and in Conformity
Assessment Activities’’, dated February
10, 1998, industry and the FAA have
been working with ASTM International
to develop consensus standards for
light-sport aircraft. These consensus
standards satisfy the FAA’s goal for
airworthiness certification and a
verifiable minimum safety level for
light-sport aircraft. Instead of
developing airworthiness standards
through the rulemaking process, the
FAA participates as a member of
Committee F37 in developing these
standards. The use of the consensus
standard process assures government
and industry discussion and agreement
on appropriate standards for the
required level of safety.
Comments on Previous Notices of
Availability
In the Notice of Availability (NOA)
issued on February 16, 2005, and
published in the Federal Register on
March 3, 2005, the FAA asked for public
comments on the 15 consensus
standards accepted by that NOA. The
comment period closed on May 2, 2005.
The preamble to the Sport Pilot and
Light-Sport Aircraft Rule states,
‘‘If comments from the public are
received as a result of the Notice of
Availability, the FAA will address them
during its recurring review of the
consensus standards and participation
in the consensus standards revision
process.’’
And—
‘‘The FAA will respond to comments
on the consensus standards in this
revision process.’’
ASTM International Committee F37
examined the public comments received
VerDate jul<14>2003
19:40 Jul 26, 2005
Jkt 205001
on these 15 standards during the May
2005 committee meeting held in Reno,
Nevada. The committee determined the
comments did not warrant or justify any
changes or revisions to the standards.
In the NOA issued on April 7, 2005,
and published in the Federal Register
on April 18, 2005, the FAA asked for
public comments on the one consensus
standard accepted by that NOA. The
comment period closed on June 17,
2005. No comments were received on
that consensus standard.
Consensus Standards in This Notice of
Availability
The FAA has reviewed the standards
presented in this NOA for compliance
with the regulatory requirements of the
rule. Any light-sport aircraft issued a
special light-sport airworthiness
certificate, which has been designed,
manufactured, operated and
maintained, in accordance with this and
previously accepted ASTM consensus
standards provides the public with the
appropriate level of safety established
under the regulations. Manufacturers
who choose to produce these aircraft
and certificate these aircraft under 14
CFR part 21, 21.190 or 21.191 are
subject to the applicable consensus
standard requirements. The FAA
maintains a listing of all accepted
standards at afs600.faa.gov.
The Revised Consensus Standards and
Effective Period of Use
The following previously accepted
consensus standards have been revised,
and this Notice of Availability is
accepting the later revisions. Either the
previous revisions or the later revisions
may be used for the initial certification
of Special Light-Sport Aircraft until
November 1, 2005. This overlapping
period of time will allow aircraft that
have started the initial certification
process using the previous revision
levels to complete that process. After
November 1, 2005, manufacturers must
use the later revisions and must identify
these later revisions in the Statement of
Compliance for initial certification of
Special Light-Sport Aircraft unless the
FAA publishes a specific notification
otherwise.

[Docket No. NHTSA–2005–21925; Notice 1]
Continental Tire North America, Inc.,
Receipt of Petition for Decision of
Inconsequential Noncompliance
Continental Tire North America, Inc.
(Continental Tire) has determined that
certain tires that it produced do not
comply with S6.5 of 49 CFR 571.119,
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) No. 119, ‘‘New pneumatic tires
for vehicles other than passenger cars.’’
Continental Tire has filed an
appropriate report pursuant to 49 CFR
Part 573, ‘‘Defect and Noncompliance
Reports.’’
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h), Continental Tire has
petitioned for an exemption from the
notification and remedy requirements of
49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that
this noncompliance is inconsequential
to motor vehicle safety.
This notice of receipt of Continental
Tire’s petition is published under 49
U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not
represent any agency decision or other
exercise of judgment concerning the
merits of the petition.
Affected are a total of approximately
430 tires produced on May 24, 2005.
One requirement of S6.5 of FMVSS No.
119, tire markings, is that the tire
identification shall comply with 49 CFR
Part 574, ‘‘Tire Identification and
Recordkeeping,’’ which includes the
marking requirements of 574.5(b) DOT
size code, and 574.5(c) DOT tire type.
The subject tires are incorrectly marked
for both size code and tire type. The
markings read ‘‘A3 3T 1WP XXXX’’
when they should read ‘‘A3 55 1N1
XXXX.’’
Continental Tire explains:
[T]he curing mold used in the production
of the tires was being serviced. During the
service, the interchangeable plugs that
contain the DOT size and type information
came out of the mold. The individual
replacing the plugs inserted plugs engraved
with the incorrect information. The
noncompliance was discovered after 430 tires
had been cured in this mold.
Continental Tire believes that the
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety and that no
corrective action is warranted.
Continental Tire states that ‘‘[a]ll other
sidewall identification markings and
safety information are correct, referring
to recognizable size markings and load
carrying capacities. A consumer or
dealer examining the DOT Code could
still determine the correct
PO 00000

standard process assures government and industry discussion and
agreement on appropriate standards for the required level of safety.
Comments on Previous Notices of Availability
In the Notice of Availability (NOA) issued on February 16, 2005,
and published in the Federal Register on March 3, 2005, the FAA asked
for public comments on the 15 consensus standards accepted by that NOA.
The comment period closed on May 2, 2005.
The preamble to the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft Rule
states,
``If comments from the public are received as a result of the
Notice of Availability, the FAA will address them during its recurring
review of the consensus standards and participation in the consensus
standards revision process.''
And--
``The FAA will respond to comments on the consensus standards in
this revision process.''
ASTM International Committee F37 examined the public comments
received on these 15 standards during the May 2005 committee meeting
held in Reno, Nevada. The committee determined the comments did not
warrant or justify any changes or revisions to the standards.
In the NOA issued on April 7, 2005, and published in the Federal
Register on April 18, 2005, the FAA asked for public comments on the
one consensus standard accepted by that NOA. The comment period closed
on June 17, 2005. No comments were received on that consensus standard.
Consensus Standards in This Notice of Availability
The FAA has reviewed the standards presented in this NOA for
compliance with the regulatory requirements of the rule. Any light-
sport aircraft issued a special light-sport airworthiness certificate,
which has been designed, manufactured, operated and maintained, in
accordance with this and previously accepted ASTM consensus standards
provides the public with the appropriate level of safety established
under the regulations. Manufacturers who choose to produce these
aircraft and certificate these aircraft under 14 CFR part 21, 21.190 or
21.191 are subject to the applicable consensus standard requirements.
The FAA maintains a listing of all accepted standards at
afs600.faa.gov.
The Revised Consensus Standards and Effective Period of Use
The following previously accepted consensus standards have been
revised, and this Notice of Availability is accepting the later
revisions. Either the previous revisions or the later revisions may be
used for the initial certification of Special Light-Sport Aircraft
until November 1, 2005. This overlapping period of time will allow
aircraft that have started the initial certification process using the
previous revision levels to complete that process. After November 1,
2005, manufacturers must use the later revisions and must identify
these later revisions in the Statement of Compliance for initial
certification of Special Light-Sport Aircraft unless the FAA publishes
a specific notification otherwise.
