Petitions for Rulemaking

Docket No.: 25148.
Petitioner: Mr. James E. Landry.
Regulations Affected: 14 CFR 121.457, 135.251 and 121 appendix I.
Description of Rulechange Sought: To reduce immediately to 10% the 
random drug testing rate for aviation employees who perform critical 
safety and security functions.
Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels that drug 
abuse among aviation employees is far less than assumed by the FAA when 
it established the 50% testing rate, and therefore the present rate is 
neither required for safety nor cost effective.

Docket No.: 27605.
Petitioner: Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund, Inc.
Sections of the FAR Affected: 14 CFR 91.119(d) and 135.1(b)(2).
Description of Rulechange Sought: To add additional requirements for 
all tour aircraft helicopter operations in Hawaii.
Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels that the tour 
aircraft industry in the State of Hawaii is utterly out of control and 
is wreaking havoc with people's lives and the fragile environment of 
Hawaii.
