SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority for This Rulemaking The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for the safety of flight in the U.S. and for the safety of U.S. civil operators, U.S. registered civil aircraft, and U.S. certificated airmen. Sections 106(f) and (g) of title 49, U.S. Code, subtitle I establish the FAA Administrator's authority to issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle VII of title 49, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority. The FAA is promulgating this rulemaking under the authority described in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), which establishes the authority of the Administrator to promulgate regulations and rules; 49 U.S.C. 44701(a)(5), which requires the Administrator to promulgate regulations and minimum standards for other practices, methods, and procedures necessary for safety in air commerce and national security; and 49 U.S.C. 44703(a), which requires the Administrator to prescribe regulations for the issuance of airman certificates when the Administrator finds, after investigation, that an individual is qualified for, and physically able to perform the duties related to, the position authorized by the certificate. This rulemaking is within the scope of the FAA's authority because it amends the eligibility requirements for the issuance of a single-engine airplane ATP certificate.
