FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shannon Uplinger, 202–267–6107, Office of Rulemaking, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591. This notice is published pursuant to 14 CFR 11.85. DATES: ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Issued in Washington, DC. Dan Ngo, Manager, Part 11 Petitions Branch, Office of Rulemaking. Petition for Exemption Docket No.: FAA–2024–1750. Petitioner: Lynden Air Cargo, LLC. Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR 25.807(g)(1), 25.857(e), and 25.1447(c)(1). Description of Relief Sought: Lynden Air Cargo, LLC (LAC) petitions for relief VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:26 Sep 03, 2024 Jkt 262001 from CAR 4b.362(c) [Amendment 4b–5], CAR 4b.383(e) [Amendment 4b–10], and CAR 4b.651(d)(3)(i) [Amendment 4b–9] to authorize the carriage of loadmasters, flight mechanics, and cargo couriers aboard aircraft with Class E cargo compartments and to authorize the access of those individuals to the Class E cargo compartment during flight. LAC further requests to exercise the privileges of the exemption outside the United States consistent with the requirements of the State in which the operation occurs. These operations will take place primarily in remote or inaccessible areas. 14 CFR 11.61 states that petitioners for exemption may ask the agency for relief from ‘‘current regulations in 14 CFR.’’ Also, the FAA stated, while promulgating 14 CFR 11.61, that ‘‘. . . petitions for exemption apply only to Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.’’ 65 FR 50850, 50859 (Aug. 21, 2000). Due to this airplane’s certification basis, the relief requested here is not from regulations in 14 CFR, but from its predecessor before recodification, CAR 4b. However, such recodification of these regulations was not intended to be substantive, and the predecessor regulations reside in their current, amended form in Title 14. 29 FR 18629 (Dec. 24, 1964). Also, changes to the three provisions at issue here (CAR 4b.362(c), CAR 4b.383(e), and CAR 4b.651(d)(3)(i)) as a result of such recodification (to 14 CFR 25.807(g)(1), 25.857(e), and 25.1447(c)(1) respectively) were likewise minimal. The FAA also finds that the agency did not intend, in promulgating 14 CFR 11.61 or 11.81, to limit itself in the exercise of its statutory authority (including 49 U.S.C. 44701(f)) to grant relief. However, as part of the public comment process for this exemption, the FAA also invites public comment on these findings.
