    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The Maritime Administration is considering a waiver request for the vessel Euphoria, which would allow it to carry up to twelve passengers for hire, despite not being built in the U.S., as usually required by coastwise trade laws. The vessel, a 70-foot motor yacht, is intended for ecological studies of seals mating in California and Baja Mexico. Public comments on the waiver request can be submitted until February 25, 2021. The Maritime Administration will decide on the waiver based on various criteria, including its potential impact on U.S. vessel builders and businesses using U.S.-flagged vessels.

  • 2021-01641 — Petition for Exemption; Summary of Petition Received; California Fire Pilots Association
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 7168
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published a notice regarding a petition from the California Fire Pilots Association. The petition seeks an exemption from certain logging requirements of flight time under the Federal Aviation Regulations. Specifically, the California Fire Pilots Association wants their pilots to be able to log flight time while flying firefighting aircraft, which is not currently allowed under existing regulations unless the flights are related to law enforcement operations. The petition also requests that this exemption last until changes are made to the regulations as outlined in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018.

    Simple Explanation

    The California Fire Pilots want special permission from the FAA to count their flying time in firefighting planes like they do for police planes, because the current rules don't allow it, and they hope this will change the rules in the future.
