The FAA invites interested parties to provide comments, written
data, views, or arguments relating to this notice. Send your comments
to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No.
FAA-2023-0930'' at the beginning of your comments. The FAA will

Background
The FAA is posting this notice to inform the public of the intent
to designate Blue Aviation, LLC, STC No. SA02238AT, for the
installation of Pratt & Whitney PT6A-34 and -35 engines in Textron
Aviation (Beech, Raytheon) Model 65-A90, 65-C90, C90, C90A, and E90
airplanes, as abandoned, and subsequently release the related
engineering data.
The FAA has received a third-party request for the release of the
aforementioned engineering data under the provisions of the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552. The FAA cannot release commercial
or financial information under FOIA without the permission of the data
owner. However, in accordance with title 49 of the United States Code
Sec. 44704(a)(5), the FAA can provide STC ``engineering data'' it
possesses for STC maintenance or improvement, upon request, if the
following conditions are met:
1. The FAA determines the STC has been inactive for three or more
years;
2. Using due diligence, the FAA is unable to locate the owner of
record or the owner of record's heir; and
3. The availability of such data will enhance aviation safety.
There has been no activity on this STC for more than three years.
On November 7, 2022, the FAA sent a registered letter to Blue
Aviation, LLC, at its last known address, 2282 Airport Road, Selmer, TN
38375. The letter informed Blue Aviation, LLC, that the FAA had
received a request for engineering data related to STC No. SA02238AT
and was conducting a due diligence search to determine whether the STC
was inactive and may be considered abandoned. The letter further
requested Blue Aviation, LLC, to respond in writing within 60 days and
state whether it is the holder of the STC. The FAA also attempted to
make contact with Blue Aviation, LLC, by other means, including
telephone communication and emails, without success.
Information Requested
If you are the owner or heir or a transferee of STC No. SA02238AT
or have any knowledge regarding who may now hold STC No. SA02238AT,
please contact Gary Wechsler using a method described in this notice
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If you are the heir of the
owner, or the owner by transfer, of STC No. SA02238AT, you must provide
a notarized copy of your government-issued identification with a letter
and background establishing your ownership of the STC and, if
applicable, your relationship as the heir to the deceased holder of the
STC.
Conclusion
If the FAA does not receive any response by October 10, 2023, the
FAA will consider STC No. SA02238AT abandoned, and the FAA will proceed
with the release of the requested data. This action is for the purpose
of maintaining the airworthiness of an aircraft and enhancing aviation
safety.
Issued on April 8, 2023.

Acting Director, Compliance & Airworthiness Division, Aircraft
Certification Service.
