{"abstract":"On October 2, 2015, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing to amend the regulations governing the curriculum and operations of FAA-certificated Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools. Commenters suggested expanding the scope of that proposal to allow competency-based training and satellite training locations and to eliminate the national passing norms specified in the quality of instruction requirements. After analyzing the comments, the FAA agrees with expanding the scope of the proposal. The FAA is proposing to allow the option of competency-based training and satellite training locations. Additionally, the FAA is proposing to amend the quality of instruction requirements by replacing the national passing norms with a standard pass rate.","action":"Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM).","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Aviation Administration","name":"Federal Aviation Administration","id":159,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-aviation-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/159","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-aviation-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2019/04/16/2019-06399.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":147,"title":14}],"citation":"84 FR 15533","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2019-06-17","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Send comments on or before June 17, 2019.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No.: FAA-2015-3901","Notice No. 19-02"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools;
