SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 17, 2003, the FAA published a final rule entitled, 
``Regulation of Fractional Aircraft Ownership Programs and On-Demand 
Operations'' (68 FR 54520).
    In that final rule the FAA updated and revised the regulations 
governing operations of aircraft in fractional ownership programs.

Technical Amendment

    This technical amendment makes one revision to the final rule. The 
language in Sec.  91.1091(f)(2) incorrectly uses the term ``check 
pilot'' when the term ``flight instructor'' should have been used. 
Accordingly, this amendment revises Sec.  91.1091(f)(2).
    Because the section title applies to flight instructors it is 
obvious that the use of the term ``check pilot'' in (f)(2) should have 
been ``flight instructor''. This technical amendment corrects an 
incorrect term and we find good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) 
to make the amendment effective in less than 30 days.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 91

    Afghanistan, Agriculture, Air traffic control, Aircraft, Airmen, 
Airports, Aviation safety, Canada, Cuba, Ethiopia, Freight, Mexico, 
Noise control, Political candidates, Reporting and recordkeeping

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation 
Administration amends chapter I of title 14, Code of Federal 
Regulations as follows:
