Background

    After a multi-year review of the current Sec.  25.1322 and creation 
of the proposed AC 25.1322, the ARAC submitted to the FAA their 
recommendations for a rule change and the proposed advisory circular in 
May 2004. The ARAC-recommended proposed changes to 14 CFR 25.1322 and 
the newly proposed AC 25.1322 are available on the Internet at the 
following Web site address: http://www.faa.gov/avr/arm/arac/aractasks/aracavsysrecommendation4.cfm?nav=6&task=2. If you do not have access 
to the Internet, you can obtain a copy of the policy by contacting the 
person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    The procedure for using ARAC recommendations for rule changes that 
are not yet adopted by the FAA is described in the FAA policy 
memorandum 00-113-1034 referenced above. The memorandum describes the 
process for requesting an equivalent safety finding, as well as 
petitioning for an exemption.

    Issued in Renton, Washington, on May 18, 2004.

Acting Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service.
