The FAA cannot release commercial or financial information under FOIA without the permission of the data owner. However, in accordance with title 49 of the United States Code 44704(a)(5), the FAA can provide STC ‘‘engineering data’’ it possesses for STC maintenance or improvement, upon request, if the following conditions are met: 1. The FAA determines the STC has been inactive for 3 years or more; 2. Using due diligence, the FAA is unable to locate the owner of record or the owner of record’s heir; and 3. The availability of such data will enhance aviation safety. There has been no activity on this STC for more than 3 years. On May 29, 2021, the FAA sent a registered letter to Marina Spear at its last known address: 875 Rio Virgin Drive #235, St. George, UT 84770. The letter informed Marina Spear that the FAA had received a request for engineering data related to STC No. SA4345WE and was conducting a due diligence search to determine whether the STC was inactive and may be considered abandoned.
