§ 125.49
holder may submit written informa-
tion, views, and arguments concerning
the proposed amendment. After consid-
eration of all relevant matter pre-
sented, the responsible Flight Stand-
ards office notifies the holder of any
amendment adopted, or a rescission of
the notice. That amendment becomes
effective not less than 30 days after the
holder receives notice of the adoption
of the amendment, unless the holder
petitions the Executive Director,
Flight Standards Service, for reconsid-
eration of the amendment. In that
case, the effective date of the amend-
ment is stayed pending a decision by
the Executive Director. If the Execu-
tive Director finds there is an emer-
gency requiring immediate action as to
safety in air commerce that makes the
provisions of this paragraph impracti-
cable or contrary to the public inter-
est, the Executive Director notifies the
certificate holder that the amendment
is effective on the date of receipt, with-
out previous notice.
