applicants who submit complete packages.

Background

    Policy statement PS-ACE100-2004-10028, Establishing Supplemental 
Type Certificate (STC) Project Workload Priorities, has been drafted to 
aid both the applicant and the Aircraft Certification Offices in 
evaluating the priorities for STC projects. The FAA will give priority 
to projects that contain an application, a certification plan, and 
information about the intended use of FAA designees. Further details of 
the plan are contained in the proposed policy statement.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri on May 12, 2004.
