06-9183. Petitions for Exemption; Summary of Petitions Received

AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION:

Notice of extension of comment period.

SUMMARY:

In accordance with 14 CFR 11.47(c), the FAA has received a petition from the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO (AFA-CWA). That petition requested an extension of the comment period for Alaska Airlines, Inc. petition for exemption. That exemption, if granted, would allow Alaska Airlines to eliminate the requirement for a procedure on their B737-400 combination passenger/cargo operations for a flight attendant to enter the pilot compartment in the event a flight crew member becomes incapacitated. The FAA finds that AFA-CWA has a substantive interest in the exemption request and has shown that good cause exists to extend the comment period if consistent with public interest.

Comments must identify the petition docket number and must be received on or before December 22, 2006.
