ceipt of notice within that time.

proval to operate a flight engineer ground 
course or flight course terminates 24 months 
after the last day of the month of issue. 

(o)

1. 

To whom does this SFAR apply? This Spe-

cial Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) ap-
plies to you if you are an air traffic control 
specialist (ATCS) employed by the FAA in 
flight service stations, enroute facilities, 
terminal facilities, or at the David J. Hurley 
Air Traffic Control System Command Center 
who wishes to obtain a waiver of the manda-
tory separation age as provided by 5 U.S.C. 
section 8335(a). 

2. 

When must I file for a waiver? No earlier 

than the beginning of the twelfth month be-
fore, but no later than the beginning of the 
sixth month before, the month in which you 
turn 56, your official chain-of-command must 
receive your written request asking for a 
waiver of mandatory separation. 

3. 

What if I do not file a request before six 

months before the month in which I turn 56? If 
your official chain-of-command does not re-
ceive your written request for a waiver of 
mandatory separation before the beginning 
of the sixth month before the month in 
which you turn 56, your request will be de-
nied. 

4. 

How will the FAA determine if my request 

meets the filing time requirements of this SFAR?

14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–24 Edition) 

Pt. 65, SFAR No. 103 

a. We consider your request to be filed in a 

timely manner under this SFAR if your offi-
cial chain-of-command receives it or it is 
postmarked: 

i. After 12 a.m. on the first day of the 

twelfth month before the month in which 
you turn 56; and 

ii. Before 12 a.m. of the first day of the 

sixth month before the month in which you 
turn 56. 

b. If you file your request by mail and the 

postmark is not legible, we will consider it 
to comply with paragraph a.2 of this section 
if we receive it by 12 p.m. of the fifth day of 
the sixth month before the month in which 
you turn 56. 

c. If the last day of the time period speci-

fied in paragraph a.2 or paragraph b falls on 
a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, we 
will consider the time period to end at 12 
p.m. of the next business day. 

5. 

Where must I file my request for waiver and 

what must it include? 

a. You must file your request for waiver of 

mandatory separation in writing with the 
Air Traffic Manager in flight service sta-
tions, enroute facilities, terminal facilities, 
or the David J. Hurley Air Traffic Control 
System Command Center in which you are 
employed. 

b. Your request for waiver must include all 

of the following: 

i. Your name. 
ii. Your current facility. 
iii. Your starting date at the facility. 
iv. A list of positions at the facility that 

you are certified in and how many hours it 
took to achieve certification at the facility. 

v. Your area of specialty at the facility. 
vi. Your shift schedule. 
vii. [Reserved] 
viii. A list of all facilities where you have 

worked as a certified professional controller 
(CPC) including facility level and dates at 
each facility; 

ix. Evidence of your exceptional skills and 

experience as a controller; and 

x. Your signature. 
6. 

How will my waiver request be reviewed? 

a. Upon receipt of your request for waiver, 

the Air Traffic Manager of your facility will 
make a written recommendation that the 
Administrator either approve or deny your 
request. If the manager recommends ap-
proval of your request, he or she will certify 
in writing the accuracy of the information 
you provided as evidence of your exceptional 
skills and experience as a controller. 

b. The Air Traffic Manager will then for-

ward the written recommendation with a 
copy of your request to the senior executive 
manager in the Air Traffic Manager’s re-
gional chain-of-command. 

c. The senior executive manager in the re-

gional chain-of-command will make a writ-
ten recommendation that the Administrator 
either approve or deny your request. If the 

senior executive manager recommends ap-
proval of your request, he or she will certify 
in writing the accuracy of the information 
you have provided as evidence of exceptional 
skills and experience. 

d. The senior executive manager in the re-

gional chain-of-command will then forward 
his or her recommendation with a copy of 
your request to the appropriate Vice Presi-
dent at FAA Headquarters. Depending on the 
facility in which you are employed, the re-
quest will be forwarded to either the Vice 
President for Flight Services, the Vice Presi-
dent for Enroute and Oceanic Services, the 
Vice President for Terminal Services or the 
Vice President for Systems Operations. For 
example, if you work at a flight service sta-
tion at the time that you request a waiver, 
the request will be forwarded to the Vice 
President for Flight Services. 

e. The appropriate Vice President will re-

view your request and make a written rec-
ommendation that the Administrator either 
approve or deny your request, which will be 
forwarded to the Administrator. 

f. The Administrator will issue the final 

decision on your request. 

7. 

If I am granted a waiver, when will it ex-

pire? 

a. Waivers will be granted for a period of 

one year. 

b. No later than 90-days prior to expiration 

of a waiver, you may request that the waiver 
be extended using the same process identi-
fied in section 6. 

c. If you timely request an extension of the 

waiver and it is denied, you will receive a 60- 
day advance notice of your separation date 
simultaneously with notification of the de-
nial. 

d. If you do not request an extension of the 

waiver granted, you will receive a 60-day ad-
vance notice of your separation date. 

e. Action to separate you from your cov-

ered position becomes effective on the last 
day of the month in which the 60-day notice 
expires. 

8. 

Under what circumstances may my waiver 

be terminated? 

a. The FAA/DOT may terminate your waiv-

er under the following circumstances: 

i. The needs of the FAA; or 
ii. If you are identified as a primary con-

tributor to an operational error/deviation or 
runway incursion. 

b. If the waiver is terminated for either of 

the reasons identified in paragraph 1 of this 
section, the air traffic control specialist will 
receive a 60-day advance notice. 

c. Action to separate you from your cov-

ered position becomes effective on the last 
day of the month in which the 60-day notice 
expires.

uates from that aircraft dispatcher cer-
tification course, who applied for the 
practical test required by § 65.59 of this 
part, passed the practical test on their 
first attempt; and 

(2) The aircraft dispatcher certifi-

cation course continues to meet the re-
quirements of this subpart for course 
approval. 

(d) 

Course revisions. Requests for ap-

proval of a revision of the course out-
line, facilities, or equipment must be 
in accordance with paragraph (a) of 
this section. Proposed revisions of the 
course outline or the description of fa-

cilities and equipment must be sub-
mitted in a format that will allow an 
entire page or pages of the approved 
outline or description to be removed 
and replaced by any approved revision. 
The list of instructors may be revised 
at any time without request for ap-
proval, provided the minimum require-
ments of § 65.67 of this part are main-
tained and the Administrator is noti-
fied in writing. 

(e) 

Withdrawal or cancellation of ap-

proval. Failure to continue to meet the 
requirements of this subpart for the ap-
proval or operation of an approved air-
craft dispatcher certification course is 
grounds for withdrawal of approval of 
the course. A course operator may re-
quest cancellation of course approval 
by a letter to the Administrator. The 
operator must forward any records to 
the FAA as requested by the Adminis-
trator. 

(f) 

Change in ownership. A change in 

ownership of a part 65, appendix A-ap-
proved course does not terminate that 
aircraft dispatcher certification course 
approval if, within 10 days after the 
date that any change in ownership of 
the school occurs: 

(1) Application is made for an appro-

priate amendment to the approval; and 

(2) No change in the facilities, per-

sonnel, or approved aircraft dispatcher 
certification course is involved. 

(g) 

Change in name or location. 

change in name or location of an ap-
proved aircraft dispatcher certification 
course does not invalidate the approval 
if, within 10 days after the date that 
any change in name or location occurs, 
the course operator of the part 65, ap-
pendix A-approved course notifies the 
Administrator, in writing, of the 
change.
