Background

    The FAA is posting this notice to inform the public that the FAA 
intends to designate Dennis Air Service STC No. SA4-1306, for the 
installation of modified nose gear for ERCO 415-C, as abandoned and 
subsequently release the related engineering data.
    The FAA has received a third-party request for the release of data 
for the installation of modified nose gear 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 section 44704(a)(5), the

[[Page 45731]]

FAA can make STC ``engineering data'' in possession of the FAA 
available upon request if the following conditions are met:
    1. FAA determines that the STC has been inactive for 3 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 3 years.
    On January 22, 2024, the FAA sent a registered letter to Dennis Air 
Service at its last known address: c/o Chico Municipal Airport, 150 
Airpark Blvd., Chico, CA 95973. The letter informed Dennis Air Service 
that the FAA had received a request for engineering data related to STC 
No. SA4-1306 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 Dennis Air Service 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. SA4-1306 or 
have any knowledge regarding who may now hold STC No. SA4-1306, 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. SA4-1306, 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 November 19, 2024, the 
FAA will consider STC No. SA4-1306 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.
