Petitions for Exemption

Docket No.: FAA-2005-21913.

Petitioner: Professional Aviation Maintenance Association.

Section of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR 65.93(a) Inspection Authorization: Renewal.

Description of Relief Sought: The Professional Aviation Maintenance Association (PAMA) requests this exemption to permit a 15-day extension from March 31 to April 15 for attendees of the PAMA convention to submit evidence of compliance with § 65.91(c)(1) through (4). PAMA requests this exemption for 10 years, through 2015.

Because of scheduling events beyond PAMA's control, the PAMA 2006 Aviation Maintenance Symposium, and PAMA's extensive technical education programming, much of which is approved training for Inspection Authorization (IA) renewal, will be held March 28-30, 2006. Many potential attendees have already expressed concern that they will not be able to attend for purposes of IA renewal because of the insufficient time to provide the evidence of their training to their respective Flight Standards District Office before the end of March. Inspection Authorization renewal training is an important reason why many maintenance professionals attend PAMA's annual Symposium.
