The Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) is making a minor technical change to a final rule, Commuter
Operations and General Certification and Operations Requirements.
This final rule established the requirements for certain management
officials for certificate holders. In the final rule the FAA
unintentionally included an incorrect experience requirement
for the Director of Maintenance for commuter and ondemand
operators. This amendment corrects that experience requirement.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
On December 20, 1995 (60 FR 65832), the FAA published a final
rule in the Federal Register, better known as ‘‘the
commuter rule’’, that established the requirements for
certain management officials in parts 121 and 135. Although the FAA
clearly stated in the preamble to this final rule that
‘‘In addition to other requirements, these candidates
will have to have three years of experience (within their
respective fields) within the past six years to be eligible for a
Director position,’’ the specific years of experience
in the rule language in part 135 was incorrect. The part 121
experience requirement of § 119.67 correctly states this
‘‘3 years within 6 years’’ experience
requirement; however the part 135 requirement in § 119.71 was
incorrectly stated as ‘‘3 years within 3
years.’’ By petition for rulemaking dated September 5,
2007, the Regional Air Cargo Carriers Association (RACCA) asked the
FAA to correct this technical error. The RACCA correctly pointed
out that it makes no sense to have an experience requirement in
part 135 that is more stringent than the same requirement in part
121.
