Title: Repair Stations--Ratings and Quality System  
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the regulations for repair stations by revising the system of ratings and requiring repair stations to establish a quality program. This rulemaking would add changes critical to maintaining safety. These include: requiring a repair station to maintain a capability list; requiring a repair station to designate a chief inspector; requiring permanent housing for all repair stations for their facilities, equipment, materials, and personnel; and identifying reasons for denying a repair station certificate, especially when a previously held certificate has been revoked. In addition, the rulemaking would clarify recent revisions to the repair station regulations. This action is necessary to reflect changes in aviation technology and repair station business practices.
