Please identify ‘‘SOP: AIR–100–001 Standard VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:52 May 02, 2013 Jkt 229001 Operating Procedure—Aircraft Certification Service Project Prioritization’’ as the subject of your comments.

In 2005, the Federal Aviation Administration instituted a project sequencing process to manage our limited resources to address both continued operational safety and certification project work. In 2011, the existing SOP for Project Sequencing was made available for public comment. As a result of comments received, a completely new SOP has been developed that is intended to replace the existing SOP. This SOP documents the process used for all certification projects worked in AIR’s Aircraft Certification Offices (ACOs). The certification programs include: Type certificate (TC), Amended Type Certificate (ATC), Supplemental Type Certificated ATC), Amended Supplemental Type Certificate (ASTC), and Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) accomplished by test and computation. This SOP defines that all projects are initiated in the geographical ACO when the application is received. The FAA applies this process to determine the project priority, and identifies related task response time. Lower priority projects may have task response time extended within limits when AIR resources are unable to support. The SOP provides for a national forum for AIR managers to identify and obtain support to accomplish specific project tasks while not diverting resources from activities supporting our safety mission of ensuring continued operational safety of the existing fleet. The FAA is publishing the SOP to ensure transparency of the existing sequencing process and to solicit feedback on how the process can be improved.
