Acceptance Criteria for Portable 

Oxygen Concentrators Used on Board 

Aircraft; Correction 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) and the Office of 

the Secretary (OST), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: This document corrects a 

final rule which replaces the existing 

process by which the Federal Aviation 

Administration (Agency or FAA) 

approves portable oxygen concentrators 

(POC) for use on board aircraft in air 

carrier operations, commercial 

operations, and certain other operations 

using large aircraft. The FAA currently 

assesses each POC make and model on 

a case-by-case basis and if the FAA 

determines that a particular POC is safe 

for use on board an aircraft, the FAA 

conducts rulemaking to identify the 

specific POC model in an FAA 

regulation. The final rule replaces the 

current process and allows passengers 

to use a POC on board an aircraft if the 

POC satisfies certain acceptance criteria 

and bears a label indicating 

conformance with the acceptance 

criteria. The labeling requirement only 

affects POCs intended for use on board 

aircraft that were not previously 

approved for use on aircraft by the FAA. 

Additionally, the rulemaking will 

eliminate redundant operational 

requirements and paperwork 

requirements related to the physician’s 

statement. As a result, the rulemaking 

will reduce burdens for POC 

manufacturers, passengers who use 

POCs while traveling, and affected 

aircraft operators. The final rule also 

made conforming amendments to the 

Department of Transportation’s 

(Department or DOT) rule implementing 

the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) to 

require carriers to accept all POC 

models that meet FAA acceptance 

criteria as detailed in this rule. 

DATES: This correction will become 

effective on July 5, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 24, 2016, the FAA published 

a final rule entitled, ‘‘Acceptance 

Criteria for Portable Oxygen 

Concentrators Used On Board Aircraft’’ 

(81 FR 33098). 

The final rule affects the use of POCs 

on board aircraft in operations 

conducted under title 14 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts 121, 

125, and 135, by replacing the existing 

FAA case-by-case approval process for 

each make and model of POC in Special 

Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 

106, with FAA acceptance criteria. 

Under SFAR No. 106, each time the 

FAA approves a specific model of POC 

for use on board aircraft, the agency 

updates the list of approved POCs in the 

SFAR. 

The final rule removes SFAR No. 106 

and replaces it with POC acceptance 

criteria and specific labeling 

requirements to identify POCs that 

conform to the acceptance criteria. POCs 

that conform to the final rule acceptance 

criteria will be allowed on board aircraft 

without additional FAA review and 

rulemaking. 

As with existing requirements for 

FAA approval of POCs that may be used 

on aircraft, the final rule acceptance 

criteria and labeling requirement only 

apply to POCs intended for use on board 

aircraft. 

However, the final rule was published 

with an incorrect references to AC 120– 

95B, when the new AC is actually AC 

120–95A. 

Correction 

In FR Doc. 2016–11908, pages 33102, 

33111, and 33113, in the Federal 

Register of May 24, 2016, make the 

following corrections: 

1. On page 33102, third column, 

footnote 5, first line, correct ‘‘AC 120– 

95B’’ to ‘‘AC 120–95’’; 

2. On page 33111, in the first column, 

tenth line from the bottom, correct ‘‘AC 

120–95B’’ to read as ‘‘AC 120–95A’’; 

3. On page 33113, in the first column, 

third line from the top in parenthesis, 

correct ‘‘AC 120–95B’’ to read as ‘‘AC 

120–95A’’; 

4. On page 33113, in the second 

column, second paragraph, thirteenth 

line, correct ‘‘AC 120–95B’’ to read as 

‘‘AC 120–95A’’.
