Additional Information: This proposed rule would assist the FAA in its oversight responsibilities and ensure consistency between contract and in-house air carrier maintenance. Over 10 years, the cost to part 121 and part 135 air carriers and the FAA would be approximately $2.4 million ($1.6 million, present value at 7%). The FAA believes these benefits have value exceeding the costs.
