Revisions to Operational 
Requirements for the Use of Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (EFVS) and to Pilot Compartment View Requirements for Vision Systems; Correcting Amendment 
AGENCY : Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA), DOT. 
ACTION : Final rule; correcting 
amendment. 
SUMMARY : The FAA is correcting a final 
rule published on December 13, 2016. In that rule, the FAA amended its regulations to allow operators to use an enhanced flight vision system (EFVS) in lieu of natural vision to continue descending from 100 feet above the touchdown zone elevation (TDZE) to the runway and to land on certain straight- in instrument approach procedures (IAPs) under instrument flight rules (IFR). As part of the final rule, the FAA revised appendix F to part 121 to provide greater clarity on the checking requirements for EFVS. In amending appendix F to part 121, the FAA used amendatory instructions that inadvertently misplaced new paragraph III(c)(5). This document amends appendix F to part 121 to correct that error. 
DATES : Effective January 10, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
Background 
On December 13, 2016, the FAA 
published a final rule entitled, ‘‘Revisions to Operational Requirements for the Use of Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (EFVS) and to Pilot Compartment View Requirements for Vision Systems.’’
1In that final rule, 
which became effective, in part, on March 13, 2017, the FAA created new 14 CFR 91.176 to contain the operating rules for EFVS operations to touchdown and rollout and for EFVS operations to 
100 feet above the TDZE. The FAA also established training and recent flight experience requirements for persons conducting EFVS operations.
2 
Because part 121 operators authorized 
to conduct EFVS operations were already required to train, check, and qualify their pilots on EFVS in accordance with their Operation Specifications, the FAA excepted part 121 pilots from the new EFVS recent flight experience requirements.
3The 
FAA recognized, however, that the requirement to be qualified for EFVS operations by one of the certificate holder’s check airmen was not as transparent as the requirements to train crewmembers on EFVS, which are found within the relevant operating rules of 14 CFR. Therefore, the FAA revised appendix F to part 121 to provide greater clarity on the checking requirements for EFVS operations. 
In amending appendix F to part 121, 
the FAA included amendatory instructions to amend the Table by adding new entry III.(c)(5). However, because of the undesignated paragraph following paragraph III.(c)(4) in appendix F, it was unclear whether new paragraph III(c)(5) should be published before or after the undesignated paragraph. When the final rule became effective, paragraph III.(c)(5) was inadvertently placed after the undesignated paragraph. 
Correction 
The FAA did not intend to add 
paragraph III.(c)(5) after the 
undesignated paragraph preceding paragraph III.(d). Instead, paragraph III(c)(5) should immediately follow paragraph III.(c)(4). The FAA is therefore revising appendix F to part 121 to relocate paragraph III.(c)(5) accordingly. 
Because this amendment results in no 
substantive change, the FAA finds that the notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. For the same reason, the FAA finds good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the amendments effective in less than 30 days.

Administration amends chapter I of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations as follows: PART 121—OPERATING REQUIREMENTS: DOMESTIC, FLAG, AND SUPPLEMENTAL OPERATIONS

(5) For each type of EFVS operation the certificate

Each instrument approach must be per-formed according to any procedures and limita-tions approved for the approach facility used. The instrument approach begins when the airplane is over the initial approach fix for the approach pro-cedure being used (or turned over to the final ap-proach controller in the case of a GCA approach) and ends when the airplane touches down on the runway or when transition to a missed approach configuration is completed.

of 
§ 121.441(d) 
(2) The approach must be made to the authorized 
minimum circling approach attitude followed by a 
change in heading and the necessary maneu-vering by visual reference to maintain a flight path that permits a normal landing on a runway at least 90[degrees] from the final approach course of the simulated instrument portion of the ap-proach. 
(3) The circling approach must be performed with-
out excessive maneuvering, and without exceed-ing the normal operating limits of the airplane. The angle of bank should not exceed 30[degrees]. 
If local conditions beyond the control of the pilot prohibit 
the maneuver or prevent it from being performed as required, it may be waived as provided in § 121.441(d): Provided, however, that the maneuver may not be waived under this provision for two suc-cessive proficiency checks. 
The circling approach maneuver is not required for a 
second-in-command if the certificate holder’s manual prohibits a second-in-command from performing a cir-cling approach in operations under this part. 
(e) Missed Approach 
(1) Each pilot must perform at least one missed ap-
proach from an ILS approach ................................ .................... .................... * B .................... ..... ............... ....................
(2) Each pilot in command must perform at least 
one additional missed approach ............................ .................... .................... * P .................... ...... .............. ....................
A complete approved missed approach procedure must 
be accomplished at least once. At the discretion of the person conducting a check a simulated powerplant failure may be required during any of the missed ap-proaches. These maneuvers may be performed either independently or in conjunction with maneuvers re-quired under Sections III or V of this appendix. At least one missed approach must be performed in flight.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Good Cause for Immediate Adoption 
Without Prior Notice 
Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies 
to dispense with notice and comment procedures for rules when the agency for ‘‘good cause’’ finds that those procedures are ‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.’’ Under this section, an agency, upon finding good cause, may issue a final rule without seeking comment prior to the rulemaking. 
Section 553(d)(3) of the 
Administrative Procedure Act requires that agencies publish a rule not less than 30 days before its effective date, except as otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found and published with the rule.
