TITLE: Decompression Criteria for Interior CompartmentsAGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT)ACTION: Final ruleSUMMARY: The FAA is amending its standards for pressurized compartment loads such that partitions located adjacent to a decompression hole need not be designed to withstand a certain decompression condition. This rulemaking is necessary because, in some cases, it is not practical to design partitions in certain airplane compartments to withstand this decompression condition if it occurs within that compartment.Effective 14 August 2023.This final rule and the notice of proposed rulemaking notified as G/TBT/N/USA/1485 are identified by Docket Number FAA-2019-0343. The Docket Folder is available on Regulations.gov at https://www.regulations.gov/docket/FAA-2019-0343/document and provides access to primary and documents as well as comments received.
