Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2021-0709.
    Petitioner: Merck & Co., Inc.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Sec.  91.211(b)(1)(ii).
    Description of Relief Sought: Merck seeks an alternative means of 
compliance for 14 CFR 91.211(b)(1)(ii) that will permit it to fly above 
FL 410 without one pilot wearing an oxygen mask. This request is based 
on additional conditions and limitations as well as the design features 
of the Gulfstream G550/650 aircraft designed to reduce the likelihood 
of decompression and provide for an automated emergency descent in the 
event of a decompression.
