Aviation Safety Organization Changes; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a final rule published on March 5, 2018. 
In that rule, the FAA replaced specific references to offices within 
the Aircraft Certification Service and the Flight Standards Service 
with generic references not dependent on any particular office 
structure. The FAA incorrectly assigned amendment number 65-56 to this 
rule. The correct amendment number is 65-57A and this action fixes this 
error.

DATES: Effective July 6, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On March 5, 2018, the FAA published a final rule entitled, 
``Aviation Safety Organization Changes'' (83 FR 9162). In that final 
rule, the FAA replaced specific references to Aircraft Certification 
Service (AIR) and Flight Standards Service (AFS) offices with generic 
references not dependent on any particular office structure. This rule 
did not impose any new obligations and the

intent was to eliminate any confusion about with whom regulated 
entities and other persons should interact when complying with these 
various rules.
    In that document, the FAA assigned amendment number 65-56 to the 
rule. However, the FAA previously assigned that amendment number to a 
final rule that published on December 16, 2014, entitled ``Elimination 
of the air traffic control tower operator certificate for controllers 
who hold a federal aviation administration credential with a tower 
rating on'' (79 FR 74607). The correct amendment number should have 
been 65-57A, and this action fixes that error.

Correction

    1. On page 9162, in the first column, in the heading under the 
docket number correct ``65-56'' to read ``65-57A''.

    Issued under authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 44701(a), 
and 44703 in Washington, DC, on June 27, 2018.
