Background
The FAA is posting this notice to inform the public that the FAA intends to designate Caldwell Commercial, Inc., STC No. SB2236NM, for the removal of Balloon Works FireFly 7 envelope and installation of Caldwell Commercial CC-7 envelope, as abandoned and subsequently release the related engineering data.
The FAA has received a third-party request for the release of data for the modification of the balloon envelope under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552. The FAA cannot release commercial or financial information, such as the requested data, under FOIA without the permission of the data owner. However, in accordance with title 49 of the United States Code §?44704(a)(5), the FAA can make STC "engineering data" in possession of the FAA available upon request if the FAA determines that the STC has been inactive for 3 or more years and, using due diligence, the FAA is unable to locate the owner of record or the owner of record's heir. There has been no activity on this STC for more than 3 years.
On March 31, 2022, the FAA sent a registered letter to Caldwell Commercial, Inc., to its last-known address: c/o 20215 Fortuna Del Este Elfin Forest, Escondido, CA 92025. The letter informed Caldwell Commercial, Inc., that the FAA had received a request for engineering data related to STC No. SB2236NM and was conducting a due diligence search to determine whether the STC was inactive and may be considered abandoned. The letter further requested that the company respond in writing within 60 days and state whether it is the holder of the STC. The FAA has also attempted to make contact with Caldwell Commercial, Inc., by other means, including telephone communication and emails, but without success.
Information Requested
If you are the owner or heir or a transferee of STC No. SB2236NM, or have any knowledge regarding who may now hold STC No. SB2236NM, please contact Calvin Hang using a method described in this notice under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . If you are the heir of the owner or the owner by transfer of STC No. SB2236NM, you must provide a notarized copy of your government-issued identification with a letter and background establishing your ownership of the STC and, if applicable, your relationship as the heir to the deceased holder of the STC.
Conclusion
If the FAA does not receive any response by March 27, 2023, the FAA will consider STC No. SB2236NM abandoned, and the FAA will proceed with the release of the requested data. This action is for the purpose of maintaining the airworthiness of an aircraft and enhancing aviation safety.
