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. This publication represents the quarter ending on September 30, 
1997. This pubication 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, 400 
7th Street, SW., Suite PL 200-A, Washington, DC 20590: telephone (202) 
366-4118.

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)92). In a notice issued on July 11, 1990, and published in 
the Federal Register (55 FR 29148; July 15, 1990), the FAA announced 
the public availability of several indexes and summaries that provide 
identifying information about the decisions and order 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 cumulative subject-matter index and digests 
organized by order number.
    The indexes are published on a quarterly basis (i.e., January, 
April, July, and October.) This publication represents the quarter 
ending on September 30, 1997.
    The FAA first 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 only 
the subject-matter index would be published cumulatively and that the 
order number index would be non-cumulative. The FAA announced in a 
later notice that the order number indexes published in January would 
reflect all of the civil penalty decisions for the previous year. 58 FR 
5044; Jan. 19, 1993.
    The previous quarterly publications of the indexes of the 
Administrator's decisions and orders in civil penalty cases have 
appeared in the Federal Register as follows:

CIVIL PENALTY ACTIONS--ORDERS ISSUED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR

DIGESTS

(Current as of September 30, 1997)
    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 July 1, 1997, to 
September 30, 1997. The FAA publishes 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 Gordon Air Services Order No. 97-24 (7/1/97)

    Counsel Granted Leave to Withdraw; Extension of Time. Counsel for 
Respondent is granted leave to withdraw as counsel, and Respondent is 
granted 30 days to file its appeal brief, either on its own or through 
new counsel. No further extension of time for the appeal brief will be 
granted.

In the Matter of Peter A. Martin & James C. Jaworski Order No. 97-25 
(7/17/97)

    Appeal Dismissed. Because Complaint has withdrawn its notice of 
appeal, its appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of Delta Air Lines Order No. 97-26 (81/13/97)

    Appeal Dismissed. Complainant has withdrawn its notice of appeal. 
As a result, its appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of Lock Haven Airmotive Company, Inc. Order No. 97-27 (8/
20/97)

    Appeal Dismissed. Respondent has withdrawn its notice of appeal. As 
a result, its appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of Continental Airlines, Inc. Order No. 97-28 (9/26/97)

    Request to File Late Notice of Appeal and Appeal Brief Denied. 
After Complainant announced that it would not go forward with this 
case, the law judge issued a written order dismissing the case, finding 
that Complainant was in default. The order was sent to the former 
agency counsel mistakenly. Complaintant's motion to file a late notice 
of appeal and appeal brief is denied. Although the law judge's failure 
to send the order to the current agency counsel constituted good cause 
for filing a late notice of appeal, it does not justify waiting a year 
to request permission.
