Page 1 of 5 Exhibit B to Administrative Order No. 58-22-27-F FINDINGS of the City Manager of the City of Eugene in Consideration of Written Submissions Regarding Administrative Order No. 58-22-27, Airport Rules and Standards With regard to written submissions, the City Manager of the City of Eugene finds: Topic: Self-Fueling Operations  One commenter noted that the self-fueling permitting requirements of Section C, VII could be interpreted to apply to aircraft temporarily stopping at the Eugene Airport. Response: The self-fueling permitting requirements are intended to apply to the self-service operations described in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5190-7, Section 1.3(c) as “the fueling or servicing of an aircraft (i.e. changing the oil, washing) by the owner of the aircraft with his or her own employees and using his or her own equipment” (emphasis added). As a result of this comment the definition of “Self-Service” in the Rules and Standards was amended to clarify that self-service is only applicable where the servicers own equipment is used. The definition of “Self-Service” now reads as follows: Self-Service means the act of tying-down, adjusting, repairing, refueling, cleaning, and otherwise servicing an Aircraft by a Person, including employees and/or contractors of the Person, that owns or has exclusive use and operational care, custody, and control of the Aircraft pursuant to a long-term lease or similar agreement, using such Person’s own equipment.  One commenter perceived conflicting language in Subdivision II – Rules and Regulations, Section V(a) and Section C II (e), interpreting the rule to mean that itinerant pilots would need to have a self-fueling permit. Response: The referenced Section V (a) applies to aircraft owners who want to self-fuel or service their aircraft. Section V II (e) prevents third-party fuelers to come onto the Airport for the purpose of direct aircraft fueling. It does not prohibit aircraft owners whose aircraft are based at the Eugene Airport from self-fueling. No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of this comment. Topic: Specialized Aeronautical Service Operators (SASO)  Two commenters asked whether the Eugene Airport is changing the Minimum Standards to require all hangar owners to become a SASO. Response: No, in Subdivision II – Rules and Regulations, Section E, VII (a) only owners of hangars who are doing business on the field by sub-leasing hangar space will need a SASO agreement. This is a best-practice recommendation from Landrum & Brown. No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of these comments.
