14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–19 Edition) 

§ 121.470 

(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) of 

this section, a certificate holder con-
ducting domestic, flag, or supple-
mental operations may apply the 
flightcrew member flight time and 
duty limitations and rest requirements 
of part 117 of this chapter to flight at-
tendants for all operations conducted 
under this part provided that— 

(1) The certificate holder establishes 

written procedures that— 

(i) Apply to all flight attendants used 

in the certificate holder’s operation; 

(ii) Include the flightcrew member 

requirements contained in part 117, as 
appropriate to the operation being con-
ducted, except that rest facilities on 
board the aircraft are not required; 

(iii) Include provisions to add one 

flight attendant to the minimum flight 
attendant complement for each 
flightcrew member who is in excess of 
the minimum number required in the 
aircraft type certificate data sheet and 
who is assigned to the aircraft under 
the provisions of part 117, as applica-
ble, of this part; 

(iv) Are approved by the Adminis-

trator and are described or referenced 
in the certificate holder’s operations 
specifications; and 

(2) Whenever the Administrator finds 

that revisions are necessary for the 
continued adequacy of the written pro-
cedures that are required by paragraph 
(c)(1) of this section and that had been 
granted final approval, the certificate 
holder must, after notification by the 
Administrator, make any changes in 
the procedures that are found nec-
essary by the Administrator. Within 30 
days after the certificate holder re-
ceives such notice, it may file a peti-
tion to reconsider the notice with the 
responsible Flight Standards office. 
The filing of a petition to reconsider 
stays the notice, pending decision by 
the Administrator. However, if the Ad-
ministrator finds that an emergency 
requires immediate action in the inter-
est of safety, the Administrator may, 
upon a statement of the reasons, re-
quire a change effective without stay.
