: This final rule establishes
regulations that conform with the
Aircraft Certification, Safety, and
Accountability Act, which sets forth
statutory requirements to implement
regulations for maintenance technician
training. Consistent with the statute,
this final rule adopts new requirements
for issuing aviation maintenance
technician school (AMTS) certificates
and associated ratings and the general
operating rules for the holders of those
certificates and ratings.

This AC provides information and guidance material that a certificate holder (CH) or qualified fractional ownership program operating under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) may use when voluntarily disclosing to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) apparent violations of those FAA regulations listed in paragraph 5. The procedures and practices outlined herein may be applied to all operations at such certificates. The procedures and practices outlined in this AC cannot be applied to those persons who are required to report failures, malfunctions, and defects under 14 CFR part 21, § 21.3 and who do not make those reports in the timeframe required by the regulations. The contents of this document do not have the force and effect of law and are not meant to bind the public in any way. This document is intended only to provide clarity to the public regarding existing requirements under the law or agency policies.

This memorandum addresses deviations to FAA Order 8130.2J that were previously issued but
inadvertently superseded by other memorandums. Deviations to policy that are issued via
memorandums are considered binding and enforceable until they are incorporated into the
applicable Order, reached a specified date, or superseded as stated in a published memorandum.
The primary audience for this memorandum is FAA manufacturing and airworthiness Aviation
Safety Inspectors (ASI), certain persons designated to act as representatives of the FAA, FAA
Academy Instructors, and applicants.

This memorandum provides a deviation to the DER expiration dates in DIN that were established
in accordance with FAA Order 8100.8D Designee Management Handbook. This action is
necessary to facilitate an efficient transition of DERs into DMS over the remainder of CY2022.

This memorandum announces that the Aircraft Certification Service’s (AIR) Regulatory and
Guidance Library (RGL) is being replaced by the Dynamic Regulatory System (DRS).
Summary
DRS is a comprehensive knowledge center of regulatory guidance material from the office of
Aviation Safety (AVS). DRS combines more than 65 document types from multiple sources into
a single searchable application. It includes information found in the Flight Standards
Information System (FSIMS) and RGL. Users can browse or search more than 2 million
documents. A robust search engine serves as the backbone of DRS and allows for basic or very
advanced searches, while applying a variety of filters. The system includes pending, current, and
historical versions of all documents with their revision history.
Availability of DRS and Decommissioning of RGL
DRS is accessible and fully functional. It provides access to all documents formerly residing in
RGL. Databases (e.g., Type Certificate Data Sheets, Supplemental Type Certificates, Parts
Manufacturer Approvals, Airworthiness Directives, Advisory Circulars, Orders, etc.) currently
residing in RGL will be decommissioned on a rolling basis between now and September 30,
2022, when the entire RGL system is expected to be shut down.

This notice provides information and guidance to principal
inspectors (PI) on reviewing and approving minimum equipment list (MEL) relief for added or
removed items due to a change to type design.
