Changes to Production Certificates and Approvals; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is correcting a 
final rule correction published on December 17, 2015. In that 
correction, the FAA changed the effective date of the final rule to 
permit an earlier implementation of the rule's provisions that allow 
production approval holders to issue authorized release documents for 
aircraft engines, propellers, and articles. It also permits an earlier 
implementation date for production certificate holders to manufacture 
and install interface components, and provides earlier relief from the 
current requirement that fixed-pitch wooden propellers be marked using 
an approved fireproof method. This action corrects an error in the 
preamble of that document.

DATES: This correction is effective January 13, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 1, 2015, the final rule, ``Changes to Production 
Certificates and Approvals,'' 80 FR 59021, was published in the Federal 
Register. In that final rule the FAA revised the regulations pertaining 
to certification requirements for products and articles in part 21 of 
Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) and removed 
certain marking requirements in 14 CFR part 45 applicable to fixed-
pitch wooden propellers. The final rule afforded production approval 
holders (PAHs) a number of privileges not currently permitted under 
current regulations.
    On December 17, 2015, a correction to the final rule, ``Changes to 
Production Certificates and Approvals; Correction,'' 80 FR 78650, was 
published in the Federal Register. In that correction, the FAA revised 
the effective date of the final rule to permit an earlier 
implementation of the rule's provisions that allow production approval 
holders to issue authorized release documents for aircraft engines, 
propellers, and articles. It also permits an earlier implementation 
date for production certificate holders to manufacture and install 
interface components, and provides earlier relief from the current 
requirement that fixed-pitch wooden propellers be marked using an 
approved fireproof method.
    In the correction to the final rule, it stated that the FAA and 
EASA have agreed to delay the implementation of Change 5 to the 
Maintenance Annex Guidance (MAG) until March 29, 2016. The March 29, 
2016 referenced date is incorrect, and the correct date is April 1, 
2016. This action corrects an error in the preamble of that document.

Correction

    In FR Doc. 2015-31639, beginning on page 78650 in the Federal 
Register of December 17, 2015, make the following correction to the 
preamble:
    On page 78651, in the first column, twelfth line, correct ``March 
29'' to read ``April 1''.

    Issued under authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 44701(a), 
and 44703 in Washington, DC, on December 24, 2015.
