§ 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.
