§ 91.1021 

Flight Standards office that issued the 
program manager’s management speci-
fications concerning the amendment of 
management specifications, the fol-
lowing procedure applies: 

(1) The program manager must peti-

tion for reconsideration of that deci-
sion within 30 days of the date that the 
program manager receives a notice of 
denial of the amendment of its man-
agement specifications, or of the date 
it receives notice of an FAA-initiated 
amendment of its management speci-
fications, whichever circumstance ap-
plies. 

(2) The program manager must ad-

dress its petition to the Executive Di-
rector, Flight Standards Service. 

(3) A petition for reconsideration, if 

filed within the 30-day period, suspends 
the effectiveness of any amendment 
issued by the Flight Standards office 
that issued the program manager’s 
management specifications unless that 
office has found, under paragraph (e) of 
this section, that an emergency exists 
requiring immediate action with re-
spect to safety. 

(4) If a petition for reconsideration is 

not filed within 30 days, the procedures 
of paragraph (c) of this section apply. 

(e) If the Flight Standards office that 

issued the program manager’s manage-
ment specifications finds that an emer-
gency exists requiring immediate ac-
tion with respect to safety that makes 
the procedures set out in this section 
impracticable or contrary to the public 
interest— 

(1) The Flight Standards office 

amends the management specifications 
and makes the amendment effective on 
the day the program manager receives 
notice of it; and 

(2) In the notice to the program man-

ager, the Flight Standards office will 
articulate the reasons for its finding 
that an emergency exists requiring im-
mediate action with respect to safety 
or that makes it impracticable or con-
trary to the public interest to stay the 
effectiveness of the amendment.

gram manager’s management specifica-
tions. 

(b) The program manager must— 
(1) Make available to the Adminis-

approved by the Administrator, the

mine a program manager’s continued 
eligibility to hold its management 
specifications on any grounds listed in

other appropriate grounds. 

(e) Failure by any program manager 

to make available to the Administrator 
upon request, the management speci-
fications, or any required record, docu-
ment, or report is grounds for suspen-
sion of all or any part of the program 
manager’s management specifications. 

§ 91.1021

Internal safety reporting and

tablish an internal anonymous safety
