2120-AK32 201504 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2120 Federal Aviation Administration FAA 2100 Department of Transportation DOT Acceptance Criteria for Portable Oxygen Concentrators Used Onboard Aircraft (RRR)

This rulemaking would establish FAA acceptance criteria for portable oxygen concentrators (POC) used by passengers in air carrier operations, commercial operations, and certain other operations using large aircraft. To identify POCs that satisfy the FAA acceptance criteria, POC manufacturers will affix a label on the exterior of the device. With the establishment of POC acceptance criteria, the FAA will discontinue the use of Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 106 (“the SFAR”), removing it from title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts 121, 125, and 135. POCs currently identified in the SFAR will continue to be identified in the regulatory text of the final rule as approved for use on aircraft and will not require a label prior to use.
