22.  Requests for Waivers and 

Authorizations from Title 14, Code of 
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

a. 

Requests for a Certificate of Waiver or 

Authorization (FAA Form 7711

2), or requests for 

renewal of a waiver or authorization, may be accepted 
by any FAA facility and will be forwarded, if 
necessary, to the appropriate office having waiver 
authority. 

b. 

The grant of a Certificate of Waiver or 

Authorization from 14 CFR constitutes relief from 
specific regulations, to the degree and for the period 
of time specified in the certificate, and does not waive 
any state law or local ordinance. Should the proposed 
operations conflict with any state law or local 
ordinance, or require permission of local authorities 
or property owners, it is the applicant’s responsibility 
to resolve the matter. The holder of a waiver is 
responsible for compliance with the terms of the 
waiver and its provisions. 

c. 

A waiver may be canceled at any time by the 

Administrator, the person authorized to grant the 
waiver, or the representative designated to monitor a 
specific operation. In such case either written notice 
of cancellation, or written confirmation of a verbal 
cancellation will be provided to the holder.
