Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2024-1750.
    Petitioner: Lynden Air Cargo, LLC.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR 25.807(g)(1), 25.857(e), and 
25.1447(c)(1).
    Description of Relief Sought: Lynden Air Cargo, LLC (LAC) petitions 
for relief from CAR 4b.362(c) [Amendment 4b-5], CAR 4b.383(e) 
[Amendment 4b-10], and CAR 4b.651(d)(3)(i) [Amendment 4b-9] to 
authorize the carriage of loadmasters, flight mechanics, and cargo 
couriers aboard aircraft with Class E cargo compartments and to 
authorize the access of those individuals to the Class E cargo 
compartment during flight. LAC further requests to exercise the 
privileges of the exemption outside the United States consistent with 
the requirements of the State in which the operation occurs. These 
operations will take place primarily in remote or inaccessible areas. 
14 CFR 11.61 states that petitioners for exemption may ask the agency 
for relief from ``current regulations in 14 CFR.'' Also, the FAA 
stated, while promulgating 14 CFR 11.61, that ``. . . petitions for 
exemption apply only to Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.'' 
65 FR 50850, 50859 (Aug. 21, 2000). Due to this airplane's 
certification basis, the relief requested here is not from regulations 
in 14 CFR, but from its predecessor before recodification, CAR 4b. 
However, such recodification of these regulations was not intended to 
be substantive, and the predecessor regulations reside in their 
current, amended form in Title 14. 29 FR 18629 (Dec. 24, 1964). Also, 
changes to the three provisions at issue here (CAR 4b.362(c), CAR 
4b.383(e), and CAR 4b.651(d)(3)(i)) as a result of such recodification 
(to 14 CFR 25.807(g)(1), 25.857(e), and 25.1447(c)(1) respectively) 
were likewise minimal. The FAA also finds that the agency did not 
intend, in promulgating 14 CFR 11.61 or 11.81, to limit itself in the 
exercise of its statutory authority (including 49 U.S.C. 44701(f)) to 
grant relief. However, as part of the public comment process for this 
exemption, the FAA also invites public comment on these findings.
