ACTION: Notice of availability and request for comments.

comments on a proposed advisory circular (AC)

[[Page 60598]]

that sets forth acceptable methods of compliance with 14 CFR part 25, 
Appendix H, section H25.5(a)(1). This proposed AC complements revisions 
to the airworthiness standards that are being proposed by a separate 
notice. This notice is necessary to give all interested persons an 
opportunity to present their views on the proposed AC.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 19, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Send all comments on the proposed AC to: Federal Aviation 
Administration, Attention: Stephen Slotte, ANM-111, Airplane & Flight 
Crew Interface, Federal Aviation Administration, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., 
Renton, WA 98055-4056; telephone (425) 227-2315; facsimile (425) 227-

holidays.

Staff, at the address above, telephone (425) 227-1262.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited: Interested persons are 
invited to comment on the proposed AC by submitting such written data, 
views, or arguments as they may desire. Commenters should identify AC 
120-XX and submit comments, in duplicate, to the address specified 
above. All communications received on or before the closing date for 
comments will be considered by the FAA before issuing the final AC. The 
proposed AC can be found and downloaded from the Internet at http://www.airweb.faa.gov/rgl under ``Draft Advisory Circulars.'' A paper copy 
of the proposed AC may be obtained by contacting the person named above

    Discussion: This proposed AC provides guidance for developing 
enhanced electrical wiring interconnection system (EWIS) maintenance 
and inspection procedures in accordance with section H25.5(a)(1) of 
Appendix H to part 25 of 14 CFR. The guidance provided in this proposed 
AC is directed to air carriers, air operators, type certificate 
holders, STC holders, maintenance providers, repair stations, and 
anyone performing field approval modifications or repairs. It is one 
means, but not the only means, of complying with the part 25 revisions 
proposed in Notice No. 05-08, entitled ``Enhanced Airworthiness Program 
for Airplane Systems/Fuel Tank Safety (EAPAS/FTS),'' published 
previously in the Federal Register. Issuance of AC 120-XX is contingent 
on final adoption of the proposed revisions to part 25.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on October 12, 2005.

Acting Director, Flight Standards Service, Aviation Safety.
