Petitions for Rulemaking

    Docket No.: 28376.
    Petitioner: National Business Aircraft Association, Inc.
    Regulations Affected: 14 CFR 91.501.
    Description of Rulechange Sought: To add a new paragraph (e) to 
Sec.  91.501 defining the word ``company'' as it is used in Sec.  
91.501(b)(5) and (6) to include a governmental agency and governmental 
corporation, as well as defining the words ``parent'' and 
``subsidiary'' to include another governmental agency or governmental 
corporation within the same local, state, or federal jurisdiction. This 
amendment, if granted, would include government aircraft operations 
with corporate aircraft operations under part 91 and, therefore, allow 
government agencies to recover the costs of owning, operating, and 
maintaining their aircraft in certain circumstances.
    Petitioner's Reason for the Request: The petitioner feels that the 
current regulatory scheme discriminates against government owners and 
operators of civil aircraft without justification.
