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 listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No.
FAA-2023-2226'' 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. SA3-483, which installs a Continental
Model C85-12 engine on a Mooney Model M-18C 55 airplane, 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
section 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 August 24, 2023, the FAA sent a registered letter to the STC
holder, Donna R. Sparks, at her last known address, 6414 East 86th
Street, Kansas City, MO 64138. The letter informed Ms. Sparks that the
FAA had received a request for engineering data related to STC No. SA3-
483 and was conducting a due diligence search to determine whether the
STC was inactive and may be considered abandoned. The letter further
requested Ms. Sparks to respond in writing within 60 days and state
whether she is the holder of the STC. The FAA also attempted to contact
Ms. Sparks by other means, including telephone communication, email,
and certified mail, without success.
Information Requested
If you are the owner or heir or a transferee of STC No. SA3-483 or
have any knowledge regarding who may now hold STC No. SA3-483, 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. SA3-483, 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 May 20, 2024, the FAA
will consider STC No. SA3-483 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 November 16, 2023.
Ross Landes,
Deputy Director for Regulatory Operations, Compliance & Airworthiness
Division, Aircraft Certification Service.
