   CHAPTER II--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 
                         (AVIATION PROCEEDINGS)
 
PART 298_EXEMPTIONS FOR AIR TAXI AND COMMUTER AIR CARRIER OPERATIONS--Table of 
 
                    Subpart F_Reporting Requirements
 
Sec. 298.65  Requests for extensions of time within which to file reports or 

for waivers from reporting requirements.

    (a) If circumstances prevent the filing of BTS Form 298-C on or 
before the due date, a written request for an extension may be 
submitted. Except in cases of emergency, the request must be delivered 
to the BTS's Office of Airline Information in writing at least three 
days in advance of the due date. The request must state good and 
sufficient reason to justify the granting of the extension and the date 
when the reports can be filed. If the request is denied, the air carrier 
remains subject to the filing requirements to the same extent as if no 
request for extension of time had been made.
    (b) The Office of Airline Information may waive any reporting 
requirements contained in Sec. 298.61, Sec. 298.62, Sec. 298.63 and 
Sec. 298.64 of this part, upon its own initiative or upon written 
request from any air carrier if the waiver is in the public interest and 
the request demonstrates that:
    (1) Unusual circumstances warrant such a departure;
    (2) A specifically defined alternative procedure or technique will 
result in a substantially equivalent or more accurate portrayal; and
    (3) The application of the alternative procedure will maintain or 
improve uniformity in reporting between air carriers.
