Petitions for Rulemaking

    Docket No.: 27532.
    Petitioner: Air Transport Association.
    Regulations Affected: 14 CFR 121.343(c).
    Description of Rulechange Sought: To allow operators to complete a 
phased compliance schedule for installation of the 11-parameter digital 
flight data recorders (DFDR) on aircraft between December 31, 1994, and 
December 31, 1999, and eliminate the need to make costly DFDR retrofit 
to aircraft that will not be in the U.S. airline inventory at the end 
of the decade.
    Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels that this 
amendment will save ATA operators alone $23,700,000; retrofit 
installation is not supported via an aircraft manufacturer service 
bulletin, since the majority of aircraft models affected by the rule 
are out of production; and any enhancement to the collection of flight 
history data may be of minimal benefit for the airplanes that are to be 
retired between 1994 and 1999.
