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:

Civil Penalty Actions--Orders Issued by the Administrator

Digests

(Current as of March 31, 1996)
    The digests of the Administrator's final decisions and orders are 
arranged by order number, and briefly summarize key points of the 
decision. The following compilation of digests includes all final 
decisions and orders issued by the Administrator from January 1, 1996, 
to March 31, 1996. The FAA will publish noncumulative supplements to 
this 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 [Airport Operator]

Order No. 96-1 (1/4/96)
    Vehicle Gates Must Control Pedestrian Access. This case arose when 
FAA security inspectors found gaps, under or near two vehicle gates at 
the airport, that were large enough to permit unauthorized individuals 
to slip through into the air operations area. Despite repeated requests 
and warnings from the inspectors, the airport operator failed to 
correct the problem. The airport operator argued that it did not 
violate 14 CFR 107.13(a)(1), the regulation requiring it to control 
access to the air operations area, because the gates were vehicle 
gates. Contrary to the airport operator's arguments, the vehicle gates 
must control pedestrian access.
    Regulation Not Unconstitutional. Section 107.13(a)(1) is not 
unconstitutionally vague or overboard.
    Penalty. The law judge's imposition of a $1,000 civil penalty is 
affirmed.

In the Matter of Skydiving Center of Washington, D.C.

Order No. 96-2 (1/5/96)
    Appeal Dismissed. Complainant has failed to perfect its appeal by 
filing an appeal brief, as required by the Rules of Practice. 
Therefore, its appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of America West Airlines

Order No. 96-3 (2/13/96)
    Failure to use methods acceptable to the Administrator. America 
West violated 14 CFR 43.13(a) when it repaired three Boeing 737s with 
speed tape. It employed methods that were not in the Boeing Structural 
Repair Manual and had not been accepted or approved by the 
Administrator for this type and extent of damage to these aircraft. 
America West failed to prove that it had used practices that were in 
keeping with those employed in the industry for this type of damage to 
these aircraft. Air carriers must use repair methods that have been 
approved or accepted by the Administrator even if the actual minor 
repair on a particular aircraft does not have to be inspected by a FAA 
representative before putting the aircraft back into service.
    Airworthiness. There is a two-prong test for airworthiness: (1) the 
aircraft must conform to its type design or supplemental type design 
and to any applicable airworthiness directives, and (2) it must be in a 
condition for safe operation. In this case, the parties stipulated that 
the aircraft with the minor damage and temporary speed tape repairs did 
not present a safety problem. However, the aircraft with the minor 
damage (engine fan cowl puncture of a Boeing 737-300, and flap trailing 
edge delamination of a Boeing 737-200 and a Boeing 737-300) and the 
speed tape were not in conformity with their type designs. Although the 
type designed were not introduced into evidence, there was still 
sufficient circumstantial evidence to prove that the aircraft did not 
conform to their type designs. Consequently, America West violated 14 
CFR 121.153 when it operated these aircraft in an unairworthy 
condition.
    Sanction. The civil penalties totalling $44,750, for these 
operational and maintenance violations are affirmed.

In the Matter of South Aero

Order No. 96-4 (2/13/96)
    Competency Check Flights. Competency check flights administered by 
a company check pilot in a company plane occurred on duty time rather 
than rest time and therefore needed to be recorded on the company's 
flight and duty time records, even though the air carrier did not pay 
the pilots specifically for the time the pilots spent taking their 
competency checks.

In the Matter of Alphin Aircraft, Inc.

Order No. 96-5 (2/13/96)
    Petition for Modification Granted. FAA Order No. 95-22 is modified 
in part to allow Alphin Aircraft to file an appeal brief within 30 days 
of service of FAA Order No. 96-5.

In the Matter of Evgeniy V. Ignatov

Order No. 96-6 (2/13/96)
    Assault and Interference with Crewmember. Willful intent to injure 
need not be present to show assault under 14 CFR 91.11, which prohibits 
assaulting, intimidating, threatening, or interfering with a crewmember 
in the performance of the crewmember's duties. Under Section 91.11, 
assault includes the concept of battery. In the instant case, 
Respondent committed two separate violations of Section 91.11. The 
first violation, which consisted of interfering with a crewmember, 
occurred when Respondent refused to sit down in compliance with the 
seat belt light and the flight attendant's request, and when he blocked 
the flight attendant's passage as she was attempting to serve the 
passengers. The second violation, which consisted of assault, occurred 
when Respondent pushed past the flight attendant when there was not 
enough room to get by safely, grabbed the flight attendant's shoulders, 
and stepped on the flight attendant's foot, causing her sharp pain and 
a bruise.
    Sanction. The civil penalty the law judge imposed, of $750 for one 
violation and $1,000 for the other, is not too severe. Although 
Respondent points out that in another case involving the same 
regulation, the civil penalty assessed was only $1,000, that case 
involved only one violation of Section 91.11, while the instant case 
involves two separate violations.

In the Matter of Delta Air Lines, Inc.

Order No. 96-7 (2/15/96)
    Appeals Dismissed. The parties have withdrawn their respective 
notices of appeal in this matter. Therefore, the cross-appeals are 
dismissed.

In the Matter of Empire Airlines, Inc.

Order No. 96-8 (2/29/96)
    Appeals Dismissed. The parties have withdrawn their respective 
notices of appeal in this matter. Therefore, the cross-appeals are 
dismissed.

In the Matter of [Airport Operator]

Order No. 96-9 (3/5/96)
    Reconsideration Denied. Nothing in the airport operator's petition 
for reconsideration warrants modification or reversal of Order No. 96-
1. Notably absent from the petition is any case law or other legal 
authority to support the airport operator's contention that Order No. 
96-1 was in error. Moreover, the principal arguments contained in the 
petition are not new. They have already been considered and rejected by 
the

[[Page 16967]]

Administrator. Section 13.234(d) of the Rules of Practice, 14 CFR 
13.234(d), permits the Administrator to dismiss summarily petitions to 
reconsider that are repetitious.

In the Matter of USAir, Inc.

Order No. 96-10 (3/11/96)
    Appeals dismissed. Complainant withdrew its appeal from the law 
judge's initial decision. Complainant's appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of USAir, Inc.

Order No. 96-11 (3/19/96)
    Appeal dismissed. Respondent withdrew its appeal from the law 
judge's initial decision. Respondent's appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of USAir, Inc.

Order No. 96-12 (3/19/96)
    Appeal dismissed. Respondent withdrew its appeal from the law 
judge's initial decision. 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 Compuserve and FedWorld.
    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.
