14 CFR Part 43


Recording of Major Repairs and Major Alterations

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is making a minor 
technical change to aviation repair stations' instructions in Part 43 
on how to send required repair and alteration data to the FAA. We are 
making this change to take advantage of newer and more efficient 
methods of collecting aviation maintenance data.

EFFECTIVE DATES: Effective on November 3, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Stockslager, AFS-340, Aircraft 
Maintenance Division, General Aviation and Repair Station Branch, AFS-
340, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., 
Washington, DC 20591; telephone (717) 774-8271, extension 258; 
facsimile (717) 774-8327, e-mail [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA is amending Part 43 to change the 
location used to submit FAA Form 337, Major Repair and Alteration. We 
are changing the location from ``local Flight Standards District 
Office'' to the FAA's Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma 
City, Oklahoma. The purpose of this change is to centralize the 
processing of the Form 337 documents and facilitate FAA acceptance of 
electronic submissions of Form 337 documents in the future. The change 
does not affect any other requirements of Part 43.

Technical Amendment

    The technical amendment will change the location for submitting 
Form 337 documents.
