The FAA establishes a new termination date for Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 58 (55 FR 40275; Oct. 2, 1990), which provides for the approval of an alternate method (known as ``Advanced Qualification Program'' or ``AQP'') for qualifying, training and certifying, and otherwise ensuring the competency of crewmembers, aircraft dispatchers, other operations personnel, instructors, and evaluators who are required to be trained or qualified under parts 121 and 135 of the FAR. This action will establish a new termination date, of October 2, 2000, for SFAR 58 to allow time for the FAA to complete the rulemaking process that will incorporate SFAR 58 into the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR).
