14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–19 Edition) 

§ 119.55 

which such operational control is exer-
cised. 

(d) In making the determination of 

paragraph (c) of this section, the Ad-
ministrator will consider the following: 

(1) Crewmembers and training. 
(2) Airworthiness and performance of 

maintenance. 

(3) Dispatch. 
(4) Servicing the aircraft. 
(5) Scheduling. 
(6) Any other factor the Adminis-

trator considers relevant. 

(e) Other arrangements for transpor-

tation by air: Except as provided in 
paragraph (f) of this section, a certifi-
cate holder under this part operating 
under part 121 or 135 of this chapter 
may not conduct any operation for an-
other certificate holder under this part 
or a foreign air carrier under part 129 
of this chapter or a foreign person en-
gaged in common carriage wholly out-
side the United States unless it holds 
applicable Department of Transpor-
tation economic authority, if required, 
and is authorized under its operations 
specifications to conduct the same 
kinds of operations (as defined in 
§ 110.2). The certificate holder con-
ducting the substitute operation must 
conduct that operation in accordance 
with the same operations authority 
held by the certificate holder arranging 
for the substitute operation. These sub-
stitute operations must be conducted 
between airports for which the sub-
stitute certificate holder holds author-
ity for scheduled operations or within 
areas of operations for which the sub-
stitute certificate holder has authority 
for supplemental or on-demand oper-
ations. 

(f) A certificate holder under this 

part may, if authorized by the Depart-
ment of Transportation under § 380.3 of 
this title and the Administrator in the 
case of interstate commuter, interstate 
domestic, and flag operations, or the 
Administrator in the case of scheduled 
intrastate common carriage oper-
ations, conduct one or more flights for 
passengers who are stranded because of 
the cancellation of their scheduled 
flights. These flights must be con-
ducted under the rules of part 121 or 

part 135 of this chapter applicable to 
supplemental or on-demand operations.

§ 119.55

Obtaining deviation authority 

to perform operations under a U.S. 
military contract. 

(a) The Administrator may authorize 

a certificate holder that is authorized 
to conduct supplemental or on-demand 
operations to deviate from the applica-
ble requirements of this part, part 117, 
part 121, or part 135 of this chapter in 
order to perform operations under a 
U.S. military contract. 

(b) A certificate holder that has a 

contract with the U.S. Department of 
Defense’s Air Mobility Command 
(AMC) must submit a request for devi-
ation authority to AMC. AMC will re-
view the requests, then forward the 
carriers’ consolidated requests, along 
with AMC’s recommendations, to the 
FAA for review and action. 

(c) The Administrator may authorize 

a deviation to perform operations 
under a U.S. military contract under 
the following conditions— 

(1) The Department of Defense cer-

tifies to the Administrator that the op-
eration is essential to the national de-
fense; 

(2) The Department of Defense fur-

ther certifies that the certificate hold-
er cannot perform the operation with-
out deviation authority; 

(3) The certificate holder will per-

form the operation under a contract or 
subcontract for the benefit of a U.S. 
armed service; and 

(4) The Administrator finds that the 

deviation is based on grounds other 
than economic advantage either to the 
certificate holder or to the United 
States. 

(d) In the case where the Adminis-

trator authorizes a deviation under 
this section, the Administrator will 
issue an appropriate amendment to the 
certificate holder’s operations speci-
fications. 

(e) The Administrator may, at any 

time, terminate any grant of deviation 
authority issued under this section.
