Title 14 published on 16-Dec-2017 03:47
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 14 CFR Part 65 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2015-19278 RIN 2120-AK40 Docket No. FAA-2014-1000 Amdt. No. 65-56A DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Final rule; disposition of comments. The final rule effective date remains February 17, 2015. 14 CFR Part 65 On December 16, 2014, the FAA published a final rule with a request for comments that eliminated the requirement for an air traffic control tower operator to hold a control tower operator certificate if the individual also holds a Federal Aviation Administration Credential with a tower rating (FAA Credential). This action addresses the public comment the FAA received.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-30269 RIN 2120-AK40 Docket No. FAA-FAA-2014-1000 Amdt. No. 65-56A DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Final rule; request for comments; correction. This correction will become effective on February 17, 2015. 14 CFR Part 65 The FAA is correcting a final rule with request for comments, published on December 16, 2014 (79 FR 74607). In that final rule, the FAA amended its regulations to eliminate the requirement for an air traffic control tower operator to hold a control tower operator certificate if the individual also holds a Federal Aviation Administration Credential with a tower rating (FAA Credential). In that document, the FAA inadvertently made an error in the part heading for 14 CFR part 65. This document corrects that error.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-30221 RIN Docket No. FAA-2014-0820 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Notice of availability of proposed FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 3, Chapter 63, Aircraft Dispatcher Certification Courses and Proposed Advisory Circular (AC) 65-XX (Number to be Determined), FAA-Approved Aircraft Dispatcher Certification Courses--Availability o Extension of Comment Period. The comment period for the draft Aircraft Dispatcher Certification Course Policy published on October 22, 2014, which was scheduled to close on December 22, 2014, is hereby extended to February 22, 2015. 14 CFR Part 65 This notice announces the availability of additional supporting documents and an extension of the comment period for the proposed policy applicable to Aircraft Dispatcher Certification Courses, which was published in this docket on October 22, 2014.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-29386 RIN 2120-AK40 Docket No. FAA-2014-1000 Amdt. No. 65-56 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Final rule; request for comments. This rule is effective February 17, 2015. Send comments on or before February 17, 2015. 14 CFR Part 65 This rulemaking eliminates the requirement for an air traffic control tower operator to hold a control tower operator certificate if the individual also holds a Federal Aviation Administration Credential with a tower rating (FAA Credential). The requirement to hold both the control tower operator certificate and the FAA Credential is redundant since the underlying requirements for the FAA Credential encompass those of the control tower operator certificate. This action will reduce the FAA's burden of administering redundant programs for those individuals who hold an FAA Credential.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-25060 RIN Docket No. FAA-2014-0820 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Notice of availability. Written comments must be received on or before December 22, 2014. 14 CFR Part 65 This document announces the availability of a proposed new chapter of FAA Order 8900.1, and a proposed new AC related to Aircraft Dispatcher Certification Courses. The new chapter in FAA Order 8900.1 chapter establishes Policy not previously addressed in FAA Orders or ACs. The associated AC, 65-XX, provides guidelines to operators and potential operators of Aircraft Dispatcher Certification Courses.
