DOT Sets Semiannual Regulatory Agenda

On July 23, the Department of Transportation (DOT) published a summary of all current and projected rulemakings, reviews of existing regulations, and complete actions planned for the next 12 months. Included on the agenda are the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) current plans for long-term actions for air carrier maintenance training programs.

The rulemaking would require FAA approval of maintenance training programs of air carriers that operate aircraft type certificated for a passenger seating configuration of 10 seats or more (excluding pilot seats).

The public is invited to submit comments on the DOT agenda.
