The Small Airplane Revitalization Act of 2013 () is a bill related to airplane regulations in the United States of America that was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress. The bill would require the Federal Aviation Authority to adopt the recommendations of the "Part 23 Reorganization Aviation Rulemaking Committee" about ways to modernize regulations on small aircraft. According to a fact sheet provided by the United States House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, the general aviation industry "includes nearly 600,000 pilots, employs roughly 1.3 million people, and contributes approximately $150 billion annually to the U.S. economy."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://docs.house.gov/meetings/PW/PW00/20130710/101126/HMKP-113-PW00-20130710-SD001.pdf )〕 The industry has been undergoing some recent decline, some of which is blamed on outdated and inappropriate regulations that stifle innovation and unnecessarily increase costs.〔 The Federal Aviation Administration began to deal with this situation in August 2011 by chartering the "Part 23 Reorganization Aviation Rulemaking Committee."〔 The Committee was "charged with creating a progressive, tier-based system so that small recreational airplanes won’t have to be designed and certificated under the same regulatory requirements as heavier, more complex and higher performance aircraft." The Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) are divided into different Parts, with Part 23 comprising the section of rules related to small planes. In June 2013, this Committee finished writing its recommendation for changes to make to FAR Part 23 "to remove barriers to bringing new, safer airplane designs to market."〔 The Committee's recommendations included "(1) removing prescriptive methods of compliance, (2) ensuring safety objectives address future technologies, (3) utilizing FAA-accepted consensus standards, (4) developing globally acceptable regulations, and (5) implementing these recommendations as soon as possible."〔 There is also the possibility that these new regulations will be adopted by other countries, helping to set international standards.〔 ==Provisions/Elements of the bill== ''This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Research Service, a public domain source.''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/1848 )〕 The Small Airplane Revitalization Act of 2013 would direct the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to advance the safety and continued development of small airplanes by reorganizing the certification requirements to streamline the approval of safety advancements.〔 The bill would require the Administrator to issue a final rule meeting certain consensus-based standards and FAA Part 23 Reorganization Aviation Rulemaking Committee objectives, including to: (1) create a regulatory regime for small airplane safety; (2) set broad, outcome-driven objectives that will spur small plane innovation and technology adoption; (3) replace current, prescriptive requirements contained in FAA rules with performance-based regulations; and (4) use FAA-accepted consensus standards to clarify how Part 23 safety objectives may be met by specific small plane safety designs and technologies.〔 The final rule required by this bill would be due by December 31, 2015.〔 On July 23, 2014, the FAA’s associate administrator for aviation safety testified that the agency would miss the December 2015 deadline. The FAA estimated that the implementation of the new rules would not be completed until 2017. 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Small Airplane Revitalization Act of 2013」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
