SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 18, 2011, President Obama
issued Executive Order 13563,
‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review.’’ The Executive Order requires
Federal agencies to seek more
affordable, less intrusive ways to
achieve policy goals and give careful
consideration to the benefits and costs
of their regulations. The Executive
Order also requires agencies to develop
a preliminary plan for reviewing their
regulations to determine, among other
things, if they are outdated, ineffective,
insufficient, or excessively burdensome
on the public. On March 14, 2011, as
part of SBA’s implementation of the
Executive Order, the agency published a
notice in the Federal Register soliciting
comments to assist the agency in the
development of the preliminary plan
required by the Executive Order, and to
identify whether any of SBA’s existing
regulations should be modified,
streamlined, expanded or repealed (76
FR 13532). SBA received 11 comments
in Regulations.gov from a mix of small
business trade organizations, a small
business owner, an SBA loan program
participating lender, an advocacy and
research organization, associations of
research universities, and members of
the general public. Those comments are
summarized in the SBA’s Preliminary
Plan for Retrospective Review of
Existing Regulations (May 17, 2011),
which is posted on the agency’s Open
Government Web site at https://
www.sba.gov/content/sba-preliminaryplan-retrospective-analysis-existingrules). In addition to the Federal
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Register notice, SBA solicited ideas
during the Small Business Jobs Act Tour
(see https://www.sba.gov/jobsacttour)
and the Startup America: Reducing
Barriers roundtable events (see https://
www.sba.gov/content/startup-americareducing-barriers-roundtables.)
Comments provided at these events will
be considered in developing the final
plan.
To ensure that the plan meets the
objectives of the Executive Order and to
benefit from the expertise of interested
members of the public, the SBA is now
requesting public comments on this
preliminary plan before finalizing it. To
comment on the preliminary plan, visit
https://www.regulations.gov and insert

input, the SBA requests that
commenters provide as much detail as
possible and provide empirical evidence
and data to support responses. The SBA
will consider the public comments in
development of the agency’s final plan
as well as the retrospective analysis of
the rules.
SBA notes that this Request for
comments is issued solely for
information and program-planning
purposes. SBA will give careful
consideration to the responses, and may
use them as appropriate during the
retrospective review, but we do not
anticipate providing a point-by-point

Background
On May 20, 2011, the FAA published
Notice No. 08–07A, Qualification,
Service, and Use of Crewmembers and
Aircraft Dispatchers (76 FR 29336).
Comments to that document were to be
received on or before July 19, 2011.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
In a letter dated May 25, 2011, the Air
Transport Association of America, Cargo
Airline Association, Air Carrier
Association of America, Regional
Airline Association, National Air Carrier
Association, Boeing Company, and
Airbus Americas requested a 180-day
extension of the comment period. In a
letter dated May 27, 2011, the Air Line
Pilots Association requested a 60-day
extension of the comment period. In
addition, in an undated letter, the
International Air Transport Association
requested a 180-day extension of the
comment period. The petitioners noted
that the SNPRM and supporting
documents are extensive.
While the FAA concurs with the
petitioners’ requests for an extension of
the comment period on Notice No. 08–
07A, it does not support a 180-day
extension. The FAA finds that providing
an additional 60 days is sufficient for
these petitioners to analyze the SNPRM
and supporting documents and provide
meaningful comment to Notice No. 08–
07A.
The FAA does not anticipate any
further extension of the comment period
for this rulemaking.
Extension of Comment Period
In accordance with § 11.47(c) of title
14, Code of Federal Regulations, the
FAA has reviewed the petitions for
extension of the comment period to
Notice No. 08–07A. These petitioners
have shown a substantive interest in the
proposed rule and good cause for the
extension. The FAA has determined that
extension of the comment period is
consistent with the public interest, and
that good cause exists for taking this
action.
Accordingly, the comment period for
Notice No. 08–07A is extended until
September 19, 2011.

Clarification of Prior Interpretations of

Requirements for General Aviation

Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed clarification
of prior interpretations.
AGENCY:
This action proposes to clarify
prior interpretations of the seat belt and
seating requirements of 14 CFR
91.107(a)(3). These prior interpretations
state that the shared use of a single
restraint may be permissible. The
proposed clarification states that the use
of a seat belt and/or seat by more than
one occupant is appropriate only if: The
seat belt is approved and rated for such
use; the structural strength requirements
for the seat are not exceeded; and the
seat usage conforms with the limitations
contained in the approved portion of the
Airplane Flight Manual. The proposed
clarification also emphasizes that the
proper restraint method for children
during operations conducted under part
91 relies on the good judgment of the
pilot, who should be intimately aware of
the capabilities and structural
requirements of the aircraft that he or
she is operating.

Background
On March 22, 2009, a Pilatus PC–12/
45 descended and impacted the ground
near the approach end of a runway at
Bert Mooney Airport in Butte, Montana.
After investigating this incident, the
National Transportation Safety Board
(NTSB) determined the following.
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
At the time of the impact, the Pilatus
PC–12/45 airplane was operating as a
personal flight under the provisions of
14 CFR part 91. The pilot and the 13
airplane passengers were killed, and the
airplane was destroyed by impact forces
and the postcrash fire. Among the 13
passengers were six adults and seven
children. Because the flight was a
single-pilot operation, eight seats in the
cabin and one seat in the cockpit were
available to the 13 passengers. Thus, the
number of passengers exceeded the
number of available seats. The NTSB
was unable to determine the original
seating position for most of the
occupants, but the bodies of four
children, ages 3 to 9 years, were found
farthest from the impact site, indicating
that these children were likely thrown
from the airplane because they were
unrestrained or improperly restrained.
The NTSB noted that if the accident had
been less severe and the impact had
been survivable, any unrestrained
occupant or occupants sharing a single
restraint system would have been at a
much greater risk of injury or death.
As a result of the March 22, 2009
incident described above, the NTSB has
requested that the FAA withdraw its
prior interpretations of 14 CFR
91.107(a)(3), which permit the shared
use of a single restraint system.
Discussion of the Proposal
In response to the NTSB’s request, the
FAA proposes to clarify its prior
interpretations of 14 CFR 91.107(a)(3) as
follows.
For part 91 operations, section
91.107(a)(3) requires that ‘‘each person
on board a U.S. registered civil aircraft
* * * must occupy an approved seat or
berth with a safety belt and, if installed,
shoulder harness, properly secured
about him or her during movement on
the surface, takeoff, and landing.’’
Children under the age of two may be
held by an adult who is occupying an
approved seat or berth and no
restraining device for the child is used.
In contrast, for commercial operations
under part 121, section 121.311 requires
that each person ‘‘occupy an approved
seat or berth with a separate safety belt
properly secured about him.’’
When § 121.311 and § 91.107
(previously § 91.14) were first
promulgated in 1971, the FAA clarified
that the separate use provision for safety
belts under part 121 was not intended
to apply to part 91 operations. Rather,
part 91 ‘‘requires only that each person
on board occupy a seat or berth with a
safety belt properly secured about him.’’
36 FR 12511 (July 1, 1971). The FAA
has previously interpreted this
provision as not requiring separate use

to comment on this proposal and how the FAA will handle comments
received. The ``Additional Information'' section also contains related
information about the docket, privacy, the handling of proprietary or
confidential business information. In addition, there is information on
obtaining copies of related rulemaking documents.
Background
On May 20, 2011, the FAA published Notice No. 08-07A,
Qualification, Service, and Use of Crewmembers and Aircraft Dispatchers
(76 FR 29336). Comments to that document were to be received on or
before July 19, 2011.
In a letter dated May 25, 2011, the Air Transport Association of
America, Cargo Airline Association, Air Carrier Association of America,
Regional Airline Association, National Air Carrier Association, Boeing
Company, and Airbus Americas requested a 180-day extension of the
comment period. In a letter dated May 27, 2011, the Air Line Pilots
Association requested a 60-day extension of the comment period. In
addition, in an undated letter, the International Air Transport
Association requested a 180-day extension of the comment period. The
petitioners noted that the SNPRM and supporting documents are
extensive.
While the FAA concurs with the petitioners' requests for an
extension of the comment period on Notice No. 08-07A, it does not
support a 180-day extension. The FAA finds that providing an additional
60 days is sufficient for these petitioners to analyze the SNPRM and
supporting documents and provide meaningful comment to Notice No. 08-
07A.
The FAA does not anticipate any further extension of the comment
period for this rulemaking.
Extension of Comment Period
In accordance with Sec. 11.47(c) of title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, the FAA has reviewed the petitions for extension of the
comment period to Notice No. 08-07A. These petitioners have shown a
substantive interest in the proposed rule and good cause for the
extension. The FAA has determined that extension of the comment period
is consistent with the public interest, and that good cause exists for
taking this action.
Accordingly, the comment period for Notice No. 08-07A is extended
until September 19, 2011.

comments, or if comments are filed electronically, commenters should
submit only one time.
The FAA will file in the docket all comments it receives, as well
as a report summarizing each substantive public contact with FAA
personnel concerning this proposed rulemaking. Before acting on this
proposal, the FAA will consider all comments it receives on or before
the closing date for comments. The FAA will consider comments filed
after the comment period has closed if it is possible to do so without
incurring expense or delay. The agency may change this proposal in
light of the comments it receives.
Proprietary or Confidential Business Information: Do not file
proprietary or confidential business information in the docket. Such
information must be sent or delivered directly to the person identified
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document, and
marked as proprietary or confidential. If submitting information on a
disk or CD-ROM, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM, and identify
electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that
is proprietary or confidential.
Under 14 CFR 11.35(b), if the FAA is aware of proprietary
information filed with a comment, the agency does not place it in the
docket. It is held in a separate file to which the public does not have
access, and the FAA places a note in the docket that it has received
it. If the FAA receives a request to examine or copy this information,
it treats it as any other request under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552). The FAA processes such a request under Department of
Transportation procedures found in 49 CFR part 7.
