Supplementary Information
Disposition of Comments A notice of proposed policy was published in the Federal Register on February 3, 2004 (69 FR 5242). Two (2) commenters responded to the request for comments, and indicated their concurrence with the proposed policy. Background Due to concerns about trapped waste material being a potential fire hazard, the FAA requested seat armrest cavities be either completely enclosed or have an open bottom. Subsequent FAA research determined that for typical armrest cavities, these conditions do not need to be met to prevent a fire hazard. The policy proposed on February 3, 2004, would change the earlier FAA position that armrest cavities be enclosed or open at the bottom.
