Abstract
The Department of the Air Force revises its regulation on DoD quality and safety criteria for air carriers providing or seeking to provide airlift services to the DoD. The revision clarifies air carrier prerequisites before an air carrier can solicit DoD business and be used by DoD agencies. Specifically, the change clarifies that cargo carriers must have previously performed cargo business in the 12 continuous months immediately prior to applying for DoD business. The revision also changes the Commercial Airlift Review Board (CARB) membership from six voting members to four. This revision serves to notify the aviation industry of the above changes. The changes are necessary for the DoD Commercial Airlift Review Board to effectively and legally carry out its aviation safety responsibilities as specified in the National Defense Authorizations Act for fiscal year 1987.
