Electrical Wiring Systems
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of availability; request
for comments.
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
availability of consensus standards and
the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) intention to accept the ASTM
International’s F2799–09 Standard
Practice for Maintenance of Airplane
Electrical Wiring Systems (Standard
Practice) as an acceptable means of
compliance to 14 CFR part 23 sections
concerning electrical wiring systems. By
this notice, the FAA finds the standards
to be acceptable methods and
procedures for maintenance of electrical
wiring systems for normal, utility,
acrobatic, and commuter category
airplanes.
SUMMARY:
Comments must be received on or
before November 22, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed
to: Federal Aviation Administration,
Small Airplane Directorate, Continued
Operational Safety, ACE–111, Attention:
James Brady, Room 301, 901 Locust,
Kansas City, Missouri 64106, or by email to: james.brady@faa.gov. All
comments must be marked: Consensus
Standards Comments, and must specify
the standard being addressed by ASTM
F2799–09 Standard Practice for

Wiring Systems.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
James Brady, Aerospace Engineer,
Regulations and Policy Branch (ACE–
111), Small Airplane Directorate,

DATE:
This
notice announces the availability of
consensus standards. The FAA expects
a suitable consensus standard to be
reviewed at least every two years. The
two-year review cycle will result in a
standard revision or reapproval. A
standard is issued under a fixed
designation (i.e., F2799–09); the number
immediately following the designation
indicates the year of original adoption
or, in the case of revision, the year of
last revision. A number in parentheses
indicates the year of last reapproval. A
reapproval indicates a two-year review

cycle completed with no technical
changes. A superscript epsilon (e)
indicates an editorial change since the
last revision or reapproval. A notice of
availability (NOA) will only be issued
for new or revised standards.
Reapproved standards issued with no
technical changes or standards issued
with editorial changes only (i.e.,
superscript epsilon (e)) are considered
accepted by the FAA without need for
an NOA.
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 F39 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 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 the
design, fabrication, modification,
inspection, and maintenance of
electrical systems installed on normal
and utility category airplanes.
These consensus standards satisfy the
FAA’s goal for airworthiness
certification and a verifiable minimum
safety level for normal, utility, acrobatic,
and commuter category airplanes.
Instead of developing airworthiness
standards through the rulemaking
process, the FAA participates as a
member of Committee F39 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.
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 normal, utility, acrobatic, and
commuter aircraft issued an
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. The
FAA maintains a listing of all accepted
standards on the FAA Web site.
The FAA finds the following new
consensus standards acceptable for
maintenance of the specified aircraft.
The consensus standard listed below
may be used unless the FAA publishes
a specific notification otherwise.
