SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments Invited
The FAA invites interested parties to provide comments, written
data, views, or arguments relating to this notice. Send your comments
to an address
[[Page 58634]]
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2023-
1718'' at the beginning of your comments. The FAA will consider all
comments received on or before the closing date. All comments received
will be available in the docket for examination by interested persons.
Background
The FAA is posting this notice to inform the public of the intent
to designate as abandoned STC No. SA1201GL, which authorized a gross
weight increase for Aeronca Model 65-C and S-65-C airplanes, 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 years or
more;
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 with this STC holder for more than three
years.
On September 23, 2022, the FAA sent a registered letter to the STC
holder, Lawrence F. Diedrich, at his last known address, Route 3, Box
279, Lodi, WI 53555. The letter informed Mr. Diedrich that the FAA had
received a request for engineering data related to STC No. SA1201GL and
was conducting a due diligence search to determine whether the STC was
inactive and may be considered abandoned. The letter further requested
Mr. Diedrich to respond in writing within 60 days and state whether he
is the holder of the STC.
Information Requested
If you are the owner or heir or a transferee of STC No. SA1201GL or
have any knowledge regarding who may now hold STC No. SA1201GL, please
contact JoWanna Jenkins 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. SA1201GL, 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 February 26, 2024, the
FAA will consider STC No. SA1201GL 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 August 21, 2023.

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