The FAA invites interested parties to provide comments, written
data, views, or arguments relating to this notice. Send your comments
using a method listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No.
FAA-2024-2130 at the beginning of your comments. The FAA will consider

Background
The FAA is posting this notice to inform the public that the FAA
intends to designate Marina Spear STC No. SA4345WE as abandoned for the
installation of cooling louvers in the top cowling on Piper Aircraft,
Inc. Model PA-32RT-300T aircraft, 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
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 3 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 on this STC for more than 3 years.
On May 29, 2021, the FAA sent a registered letter to Marina Spear
at its last known address: 875 Rio Virgin Drive #235, St. George, UT
84770. The letter informed Marina Spear that the FAA had received a
request for engineering data related to STC No. SA4345WE and was
conducting a due diligence search to determine whether the STC was
inactive and may be considered abandoned. The letter further requested
that the company respond in writing within 60 days and state whether it
is the holder of the STC. The FAA also attempted to make contact with
Marina Spear by other means, including telephone communication and
internet searches, without success.
Information Requested
If you are the owner or heir or a transferee of STC No. SA4345WE or
have any knowledge regarding who may now hold STC No. SA4345WE, please
contact Ed Mills 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. SA4345WE, 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 24, 2025, the
FAA will consider STC No. SA4345WE 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, 2024.
Steven W. Thompson,
Acting Deputy Director, Compliance & Airworthiness Division, Aircraft
Certification Service.
