§ 139.205 Amendment of Airport Cer-
tification Manual.
(a) Under § 139.3, the Regional Air-
ports Division Manager may amend
any Airport Certification Manual ap-
proved under this part, either—
(1) Upon application by the certifi-
cate holder or
(2) On the Regional Airports Division
Manager’s own initiative, if the Re-
gional Airports Division Manager de-
termines that safety in air transpor-
tation requires the amendment.
(b) A certificate holder must submit
in writing a proposed amendment to its
Airport Certification Manual to the
Regional Airports Division Manager at
least 30 days before the proposed effec-
tive date of the amendment, unless a
shorter filing period is allowed by the
Regional Airports Division Manager.
(c) At any time within 30 days after
receiving a notice of refusal to approve
the application for amendment, the
certificate holder may petition the As-
sociate Administrator for Airports to
reconsider the refusal to amend.
(d) In the case of amendments initi-
ated by the FAA, the Regional Airports
Division Manager notifies the certifi-
cate holder of the proposed amend-
ment, in writing, fixing a reasonable
period (but not less than 7 days) within
which the certificate holder may sub-
mit written information, views, and ar-
guments on the amendment. After con-
sidering all relevant material pre-
sented, the Regional Airports Division
Manager notifies the certificate holder
within 30 days of any amendment
adopted or rescinds the notice. The
amendment becomes effective not less
than 30 days after the certificate hold-
er receives notice of it, except that,
prior to the effective date, the certifi-
cate holder may petition the Associate
Administrator for Airports to recon-
sider the amendment, in which case its
effective date is stayed pending a deci-
sion by the Associate Administrator
for Airports.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of
paragraph (d) of this section, if the Re-
gional Airports Division Manager finds
there is an emergency requiring imme-
diate action with respect to safety in
air transportation, the Regional Air-
ports Division Manager may issue an
amendment, effective without stay on
the date the certificate holder receives
notice of it. In such a case, the Re-
gional Airports Division Manager in-
corporates the finding of the emer-
gency and a brief statement of the rea-
sons for the finding in the notice of the
amendment. Within 30 days after the
issuance of such an emergency amend-
ment, the certificate holder may peti-
tion the Associate Administrator for
Airports to reconsider either the find-
ing of an emergency, the amendment
itself, or both. This petition does not
automatically stay the effectiveness of
the emergency amendment.
