This was sent to me by a friend - I am not a member of AEA, but assume that they will not mind repeating this here. I doubt there is any interest in restricting it to their membership.

SUBJECT: FAA to Restrict A & P Recognition
SUMMARY: The FAA has issued a policy which is intended to clarify the definition of ''Actively Engaged'' for purposes of issuing and renewing the A & P Inspector Authorization.
[Federal Register]
MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS: This FAA action proposes to clarify the term ''actively engaged'' for the purposes of application for and renewal of an inspection authorization, as contained in Flight Standards Management System Order 8900.1.
Of particular interest to AEA members is the criteria contained below:
Note:
Actively engaged means exercising the privileges of an airframe and powerplant mechanic certificate in the maintenance of civil aircraft. Applicants who are employed full-time in inspecting, overhauling, repairing, preserving, or replacing parts on aircraft are considered to be actively engaged.
Applicants who are employed or participate in inspecting, overhauling, repairing, preserving, or replacing parts on aircraft on a part-time or occasional basis will be evaluated by the ASI to determine whether the applicant is actively engaged. The ASI will evaluate the scope of part-time or occasional activity based on the type of maintenance activity, including any special expertise required, and the quantity of maintenance activity performed. To evaluate the scope of the part-time or occasional maintenance activity, the ASI will use evidence or documentation provided by the applicant showing inspection, overhauling, repairing, preserving, or replacing parts on aircraft.
