1. 

To whom does this SFAR apply? 

This Spe-

cial Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) ap-
plies to you if you are an air traffic control 
specialist (ATCS) employed by the FAA in 
flight service stations, enroute facilities, 
terminal facilities, or at the David J. Hurley 
Air Traffic Control System Command Center 
who wishes to obtain a waiver of the manda-
tory separation age as provided by 5 U.S.C. 
section 8335(a). 

2. 

When must I file for a waiver? 

No earlier 

than the beginning of the twelfth month be-
fore, but no later than the beginning of the 
sixth month before, the month in which you 
turn 56, your official chain-of-command must 
receive your written request asking for a 
waiver of mandatory separation. 

3. 

What if I do not file a request before six 

months before the month in which I turn 56? 

If 

your official chain-of-command does not re-
ceive your written request for a waiver of 
mandatory separation before the beginning 
of the sixth month before the month in 
which you turn 56, your request will be de-
nied. 

4. 

How will the FAA determine if my request 

meets the filing time requirements of this SFAR? 

a. We consider your request to be filed in a 

timely manner under this SFAR if your offi-

cial chain-of-command receives it or it is 
postmarked: 

i. After 12 a.m. on the first day of the 

twelfth month before the month in which 
you turn 56; and 

ii. Before 12 a.m. of the first day of the 

sixth month before the month in which you 
turn 56. 

b. If you file your request by mail and the 

postmark is not legible, we will consider it 
to comply with paragraph a.2 of this section 
if we receive it by 12 p.m. of the fifth day of 
the sixth month before the month in which 
you turn 56. 

c. If the last day of the time period speci-

fied in paragraph a.2 or paragraph b falls on 
a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, we 
will consider the time period to end at 12 
p.m. of the next business day. 

5. 

Where must I file my request for waiver and 

what must it include? 

a. You must file your request for waiver of 

mandatory separation in writing with the 
Air Traffic Manager in flight service sta-
tions, enroute facilities, terminal facilities, 
or the David J. Hurley Air Traffic Control 
System Command Center in which you are 
employed. 

b. Your request for waiver must include all 

of the following: 

i. Your name. 
ii. Your current facility. 
iii. Your starting date at the facility. 
iv. A list of positions at the facility that 

you are certified in and how many hours it 
took to achieve certification at the facility. 

v. Your area of specialty at the facility. 
vi. Your shift schedule. 
vii. [Reserved] 
viii. A list of all facilities where you have 

worked as a certified professional controller 
(CPC) including facility level and dates at 
each facility; 

ix. Evidence of your exceptional skills and 

experience as a controller; and 

x. Your signature. 
6. 

How will my waiver request be reviewed? 

a. Upon receipt of your request for waiver, 

the Air Traffic Manager of your facility will 
make a written recommendation that the 
Administrator either approve or deny your 
request. If the manager recommends ap-
proval of your request, he or she will certify 
in writing the accuracy of the information 
you provided as evidence of your exceptional 
skills and experience as a controller. 

b. The Air Traffic Manager will then for-

ward the written recommendation with a 
copy of your request to the senior executive 
manager in the Air Traffic Manager’s re-
gional chain-of-command. 

c. The senior executive manager in the re-

gional chain-of-command will make a writ-
ten recommendation that the Administrator 
either approve or deny your request. If the 
senior executive manager recommends ap-
proval of your request, he or she will certify
