Title: Clarification of Parachute Packing Authorization 
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the requirements for individuals who pack, maintain, or alter main parachutes of a dual-parachute system, those with main and backup parachutes, to be used for parachute jumping in connection with civil aircraft of the United States. A non-certificated person would be allowed to pack a main parachute only when he or she is under the supervision of a certificated parachute rigger, or when he or she will be the next jumper to use the parachute. This action is intended to correct a potentially unsafe condition of parachute operations created by changes to the 2001 revision of the current rule.
