Background

    On August 22, 2011, the FAA published a final rule entitled 
``Restrictions on Operators Employing Former Flight Standards Service 
Aviation Safety Inspectors'' (76 FR 52231).
    In that final rule the FAA prohibited any person holding a 
certificate from knowingly employing, or making a contractual 
arrangement with, certain individuals to act as an agent or a 
representative of the certificate holder in any matter before the FAA 
under certain conditions. These restrictions apply if the individual, 
in the preceding 2 year period directly served as, or was directly 
responsible for the oversight of, a Flight Standards Service Aviation 
Safety Inspector, and had direct responsibility to inspect, or oversee 
the inspection of, the operations of the certificate holder. This rule 
also applies to persons who own or manage fractional ownership program 
aircraft that are used to conduct operations

under specific regulations described in this document. This rule 
establishes these restrictions to prevent potential organizational 
conflicts of interest which could adversely affect aviation safety.

Correction to Preamble

    This technical amendment makes one revision to the preamble section 
of the final rule. The amendment number ``119-5'' should read ``119-
15''.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on September 8, 2011.
