Regulations Serial Number SR-329 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CIVIL AERONAUTICS BOARD WASHINGTON, D. C. Effective: November 1, 1948 Adopted: October 27, 1948 SPECIAL CIVIL AIR REGULATION COMPLIANCE WITH THE AIR CARRIER FIRE PREVENTION REGULATION On March 31, 1948, the Board adopted certain amendments to Parts 41, 42, and 61 that extend the date for compliance with the fire prevention requirements until November 1, 1948. The delay in obtaining the necessary engineering knowledge and the time required to purchase and install the equipment in the large number of aircraft involved were responsible for the inability of certain air carriers to comply with the requirements. In a few instances these critical parts procurement and modification problems are still preventing full compliance with these regulations. To alleviate undue hardships on any carrier who has diligently sought to comply with these requirements, the Board hereby adopts a thirty-day extension of the effective date to allow those carriers to submit individually to the Administrator a request for a further extension of the compliance date. The request shall show proof of their attempted compliance prior to November 1, 1948, and shall be accompanied by a statement indicating a reasonable justification for not complying. It will be further required that the air carriers fix a specific date on which completion of the required work will be accomplished. In the case of smoke of fire detectors, other than heat detectors, the compliance date is indefinitely extended pending completion of a joint testing program by government and industry. In consideration of the above, notice and public procedures heron are impracticable. Since this regulation imposes no additional burden on any person, it may be made effective without prior notice. In consideration of the foregoing the Civil Aeronautics Board hereby makes and promulgates the following Special Civil Air Regulation effective November 1, 1948: Notwithstanding the provisions of ยงยง 41.20,42.10, and 61.30 of the Civil Air Regulations establishing certain fire prevention standards requiring compliance on or before November 1, 1948, no air carrier shall be held in violation of these requirements prior to December 1, 1948. Upon application by the air carrier prior to December 1, 1948, the Administrator may further authorize an air carrier to operate without full compliance with these requirements where the Administrator finds that the air carrier has made a diligent effort to meet these requirements by November 1, 1948, and that the air carrier has shown that it will comply with these requirements by a date certain: Provided, That no air carrier shall be required to install or maintain smoke or fire detectors, other than heat detectors, unless otherwise directed by the Administrator.
