Background

    The FAA is posting this notice to inform the public of the intent 
to designate Blue Aviation, LLC, STC No. SA02238AT, for the 
installation of Pratt & Whitney PT6A-34 and -35 engines in Textron 
Aviation (Beech, Raytheon) Model 65-A90, 65-C90, C90, C90A, and E90 
airplanes, as abandoned, and subsequently release the related 
engineering data.
    The FAA has received a third-party request for the release of the 
aforementioned engineering data under the provisions of the Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552. The FAA cannot release commercial 
or financial information 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 provide STC ``engineering data'' it 
possesses for STC maintenance or improvement, upon request, if the 
following conditions are met:
    1. The FAA determines the STC has been inactive for three or more 
years;
    2. Using due diligence, the FAA is unable to locate the owner of 
record or the owner of record's heir; and
    3. The availability of such data will enhance aviation safety.
    There has been no activity on this STC for more than three years.
    On November 7, 2022, the FAA sent a registered letter to Blue 
Aviation, LLC, at its last known address, 2282 Airport Road, Selmer, TN 
38375. The letter informed Blue Aviation, LLC, that the FAA had 
received a request for engineering data related to STC No. SA02238AT 
and was conducting a due diligence search to determine whether the STC 
was inactive and may be considered abandoned. The letter further 
requested Blue Aviation, LLC, to respond in writing within 60 days and 
state whether it is the holder of the STC. The FAA also attempted to 
make contact with Blue Aviation, LLC, by other means, including 
telephone communication and emails, without success.

Information Requested

    If you are the owner or heir or a transferee of STC No. SA02238AT 
or have any knowledge regarding who may now hold STC No. SA02238AT, 
please contact Gary Wechsler 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. SA02238AT, 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 October 10, 2023, the 
FAA will consider STC No. SA02238AT 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.
