data, views, or arguments relating to this notice. Send your comments 
to an address listed under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2022-

Background

    The FAA is posting this notice to inform the public that the FAA 
intends to designate Caldwell Commercial, Inc., STC No. SB2236NM, for 
the removal of Balloon Works FireFly 7 envelope and installation of 
Caldwell Commercial CC-7 envelope, as abandoned and subsequently 
release the related engineering data.
    The FAA has received a third-party request for the release of data 
for the modification of the balloon envelope under the provisions of 
the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552. The FAA cannot 
release commercial or financial information, such as the requested 
data, under FOIA without the permission of the data owner. However, in 
accordance with title 49 of the United States Code Sec.  44704(a)(5), 
the FAA can make STC ``engineering data'' in possession of the FAA 
available upon request if the FAA determines that the STC has been 
inactive for 3 or more years and, using due diligence, the FAA is 
unable to locate the owner of record or the owner of record's heir. 
There has been no activity on this STC for more than 3 years.
    On March 31, 2022, the FAA sent a registered letter to Caldwell 
Commercial, Inc., to its last-known address: c/o 20215 Fortuna Del Este 
Elfin Forest, Escondido, CA 92025. The letter informed Caldwell 
Commercial, Inc., that the FAA had received a request for engineering 
data related to STC No. SB2236NM and was conducting a due diligence 
search to determine whether the STC was inactive and may be considered 
abandoned. The letter further requested that the company respond in 
writing within 60 days and state whether it is the holder of the STC. 
The FAA has also attempted to make contact with Caldwell Commercial, 
Inc., by other means, including telephone communication and emails, but 
without success.

Information Requested

    If you are the owner or heir or a transferee of STC No. SB2236NM, 
or have any knowledge regarding who may now hold STC No. SB2236NM, 
please contact Calvin Hang using a method described in this notice 
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If you are the heir of the owner 
or the owner by transfer of STC No. SB2236NM, you must provide a 
notarized copy of your government-issued identification with a letter 
and background establishing your ownership of the STC and, if 
applicable, your relationship as the heir to the deceased holder of the 
STC.

Conclusion

    If the FAA does not receive any response by March 27, 2023, the FAA 
will consider STC No. SB2236NM abandoned, and the FAA will proceed with 
the release of the requested data. This action is for the purpose of 
maintaining the airworthiness of an aircraft and enhancing aviation 
safety.
