Index of Administrator's Decisions and Orders in Civil Penalty 
Actions; Publication

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of publication.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice constitutes the required quarterly publication of 
an index of the Administrator's decisions and orders in civil penalty 
cases. The FAA is publishing an index by order number, an index by 
subject matter, and case digests that contain identifying information 
about the final decisions and orders issued by the Administrator. 
Publication of these indexes and digests is intended to increase the 
public's awareness of the Administrator's decisions and orders. Also, 
the publication of these indexes and digests should assist litigants 
and practitioners in their research and review of decisions and orders 
that may have precedential value in a particular civil penalty action. 
Publication of the index by order number, as supplemented by the index 
by subject matter, ensures that the agency is in compliance with 
statutory indexing requirements.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
James S. Dillman, Assistant Chief Counsel for Litigation (AGC-400), 
Federal Aviation Administration, 701 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 925, 
Washington, DC 20004: telephone (202) 376-6441.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrative Procedure Act requires 
Federal agencies to maintain and make available for public inspection 
and copying current indexes containing identifying information 
regarding materials required to be made available or published. 5 
U.S.C. 552(a)(2). In a notice issued on July 11, 1990, and published in 
the Federal Register (55 FR 29148; July 17, 1990), the FAA announced 
the public availability of several indexes and summaries that provide 
identifying information about the decisions and orders issued by the 
Administrator under the FAA's civil penalty assessment authority and 
the rules of practice governing hearings and appeals of civil penalty 
actions. 14 CFR part 13, Subpart G.
    The FAA maintains an index of the Administrator's decisions and 
orders in civil penalty actions organized by order number and 
containing identifying information about each decision or order. The 
FAA also maintains a subject-matter index, and digests organized by 
order number.
    In a notice issued on October 26, 1990, the FAA published these 
indexes and digests for all decisions and orders issued by the 
Administrator through September 30, 1990. 55 FR 45984; October 31, 
1990. The FAA announced in that notice that it would publish 
supplements to these indexes and digests on a quarterly basis (i.e., in 
January, April, July, and October of each year). The FAA announced 
further in that notice that only the subject-matter index would be 
published cumulatively, and that both the order number index and the 
digests would be non-cumulative.
    Since that first index was issued on October 26, 1990 (55 FR 45984; 
October 31, 1990), the FAA has issued supplementary notices containing 
the quarterly indexes of the Administrator's civil penalty decisions as 
follows:

*Due to administrative oversight, the index for the third quarter index 
  of 1994, including information pertaining to the decisions and orders 
  issued by the Administrator between July 1 and September 30, 1994, was
  not published on time. As a consequence, the information regarding the
  third quarter's decisions and orders, as well as the fourth quarter's 
  decisions and orders in 1994, were included in the index published on 
  January 23, 1995.                                                     

    In the notice published on January 19, 1993, the Administrator 
announced that for the convenience of the users of these indexes, the 
order numbered index published at the end of the year would reflect all 
of the civil penalty decisions for that year. 58 FR 5044; 1/19/93. The 
order number indexes for the first, second, and third quarters would be 
non-cumulative.
    The Administrator's final decisions and orders, indexes, and 
digests are available for public inspection and copying at all FAA 
legal offices. (The addresses of the FAA legal offices are listed at 
the end of this notice.)
    Also, the Administrator's decisions and orders have been published 
by commercial publishers and are available on computer databases. 
(Information about these commercial publications and computer databases 
is provided at the end of this notice.)

Civil Penalty Actions--Orders Issued by the Administrator

Digests

(Current as of March 31, 1995)
    The digests of the Administrator's final decisions and orders are 
arranged by order number, and briefly summarize key points of each 
decision. The following compilation of digests includes all final 
decisions and orders issued by the Administrator from January 1, 1995, 
to March 31, 1995. The FAA will publish noncumulative supplements to 
the compilation on a quarterly basis (e.g. April, July, October, and 
January of each year).
    These digests do not constitute legal authority, and should not be 
cited or relied upon as such. The digests are not intended to serve as 
a substitute for proper legal research. Parties, attorneys, and other 
interested persons should always consult the full text of the 
Administrator's decisions before citing them in any context.

In the Matter of Diamond Aviation, Inc.

Order No. 95-1 (1/27/95)
    Appeal Dismissed. Complainant withdrew its notice of appeal. The 
appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of Harry Allan Meronek

    Appeal Dismissed. Respondent failed to show good cause for his 
failure to file a timely notice of appeal. His appeal is dismissed.

    Appeal Dismissed. Complainant withdrew its notice of appeal. The

    Appeal Dismissed. Respondent failed to perfect his appeal by filing 
an appeal brief as required by 14 CFR 13.233(c). Respondent's appeal is 
dismissed.

Commercial Reporting Services of the Administrator's Civil Penalty 
Decisions and Orders

    In June 1991, as a public service, the FAA began releasing to 
commercial publishers the Administrator's decisions and orders in civil 
penalty cases. The goal was to make these decisions and orders more 
accessible to the public. The Administrator's decisions and orders in 
civil penalty cases are now available in the following commercial 
publications:
    AvLex, published by Aviation Daily, 1156 15th Street, NW, 
Washington, DC 20005, (202) 822-4669;
    Civil Penalty Cases Digest Service, published by Hawkins Publishing 
Company, Inc., P.O. Box 480, Mayo, MD, 21106, (410) 798-1677;
    Federal Aviation Decisions, Clark Boardman Callaghan, 50 Broad 
Street East, Rochester, NY 14694, (716) 546-1490.
    The decisions and orders may be obtained on disk from Aviation 
Records, Inc., P.O. Box 172, Battle Ground, WA 98604, (206) 896-0376. 
Aeroflight Publications, P.O. Box 854, 433 Main Street, Gruver, TX 
79040, (806) 733-2483, is placing the decisions on CD-ROM. Finally, the 
Administrator's decisions and orders in civil penalty cases are 
available on the following computer databases: Compuserve; Fedix; and 
GENIE.
    The FAA has stated previously that publication of the subject-
matter index and the digests may be discontinued once a commercial 
reporting service publishes similar information in a timely and 
accurate manner. No decision has been made yet on this matter, and for 
the time being, the FAA will continue to prepare and publish the 
subject-matter index and digests.
