          Subject: Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration: Part 121
                  Pilot Age Limit

          Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation
          Administration (FAA), entitled Part 121 Pilot Age Limit (RIN: 2120-AJO). It was
          published in the Federal Register as a final rule on July 15, 2009. 74 Fed. Reg. 34,229.
          We received the rule on July 28, 2009.

          The final rule amends certain regulations to conform with the Fair Treatment for
          Experienced Pilots Act by raising the upper age limit for pilots serving in domestic,
          flag, and supplemental operations from age 60 to age 65. The legislation became
          effective December 13, 2007.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the FAA's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review of the procedural steps taken indicates that FAA complied with the
          applicable requirements.
