ACTION: Final rule; technical amendments.

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

SUMMARY: This technical amendment contains non-substantive corrections 
to address typographical errors, editorial errors, and outdated or 
incorrect references in various parts of FAA regulations.

DATES: Effective December 9, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions concerning this action, 
contact Jesse Holston, Office of Rulemaking, ARM-200, Federal Aviation 
Administration, 800 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20591; 
telephone (202) 267-0810; email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Good Cause for Immediate Adoption Without Prior Notice

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and 
comment procedures for rules when the agency for ``good cause'' finds 
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to 
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good 
cause, may issue a final rule without seeking comment prior to the 
rulemaking.
    Additionally, the APA requires agencies to delay the effective date 
of regulations for 30 days after publication, unless the agency finds 
good cause to make the regulations effective sooner. See, 5 U.S.C. 
553(d). This action makes technical amendments that affect the clarity 
of existing regulations. These amendments will not impose any 
additional substantive restrictions or requirements on the persons 
affected by these regulations. Because this action merely makes 
technical amendments, the FAA finds that notice and public comment 
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary. For the same reason, the FAA 
finds that good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making this rule 
effective in less than 30 days.

II. Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules is found in title 49 of the 
United States Code. Subtitle I, section 106 describes the authority of 
the FAA Administrator. This rulemaking is promulgated under the 
authority described in 49 U.S.C. 106(f) and (g), which establish the 
authority of the Administrator to promulgate and revise regulations and 
rules related to aviation safety. This regulation is within the scope 
of that authority because the rule makes non-substantive edits to 
regulations related to aviation safety promulgated under authorities 
listed in 49 U.S.C. 106(g).
    Portions of this rulemaking are also authorized under 51 U.S.C. 
50903(c), which authorizes the promulgation of regulations related to 
commercial space launches and reentries.

III. Technical Amendments

    The FAA is making technical amendments to parts 21, 23, 25, 29, 33, 
36, 47, 49, 60, 61, 67, 73, 91, 97, 101, 107, 121, 125, 129, 135, 141, 
183, and 440 of those regulations found in Title 14 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations. All amendments are non-substantive and correct 
typographical errors, editorial errors, and outdated or incorrect 
references. The following is a summary of the various amendments to 
each of the above-listed parts.

Part 21

    In Sec.  21.619(a), permits the manufacturer of an article under a 
Technical Standard Order (TSO) authorization to make a minor design 
change without FAA approval, so long as the manufacturer forwards to 
the FAA any revised data necessary for compliance with the application 
requirements in Sec.  21.603. However, the reference to Sec.  21.603(b) 
is incorrect, as that section addresses the use of open brackets to 
identify minor changes. The correct reference is to Sec.  21.603(a), 
which contains the requirements to include a statement of conformity 
and required technical data in an application for TSO authorization.

Part 23

    In the following sections, the FAA corrects minor typographical and 
grammatical errors: Sec. Sec.  23.2115(c), 23.2165(a)(1)(i), 
23.2200(d), 23.2315(a), 23.2440(c)(2), 23.2520(a), and 23.2620(b).
    In Sec.  23.2120(a), the word ``configuration'' is removed and 
replaced with the word ``configuration(s)'' to clarify that there could 
be multiple initial climb configurations.
    In Sec.  23.2255(c), the word ``aircraft'' is removed and replaced 
with the word ``airplane'' for consistency with this section and part 
23, which sets forth airworthiness standards for normal category 
airplanes.
    In Sec.  23.2400(b), the word ``FAA'' is removed and replaced with 
the word ``Administrator'' to align with 49 U.S.C. 44704, which 
identifies that the Administrator issues type certificates. In Sec.  
23.2500(b), the change clarifies that the reference to paragraph (a) 
refers to paragraph (a) of Sec.  23.2500. Additional updates are made 
to punctuation for clarity.
    In Sec.  23.2600(b), the term ``qualified flightcrew'' is removed 
and replaced with ``flightcrew members'' to clarify that the term 
``qualified flightcrew'' was not intended to have a different meaning 
than the term ``flightcrew member'' as defined in 14 CFR part 1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See 81 FR 96572 (Dec. 30, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 25

    In Sec.  25.471(b)(2), the reference to paragraph (c)(1) of Sec.  
25.1583 is no longer accurate because Sec.  25.1583 was subsequently 
revised, and the paragraph numbering changed.\2\ Thus, Sec.  
25.471(b)(2) is corrected to refer to Sec.  25.1583(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See 43 FR 4302 (Jan. 16, 1978).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In Sec.  25.525(b), the reference to ``Sec.  25.533(b)'' is 
incorrect and is replaced with a reference to ``25.533(c)''. Section 
25.533(b) provides local pressures rather than distributed pressures, 
which are the proper pressures to calculate distributed loads as 
described in Sec.  25.525(b). The distributed pressures are provided in 
Sec.  25.533(c).
    In Sec.  25.535(d), the number ``3.25'' is incorrect and is 
replaced with the number ``0.25'' as originally stated in the final 
rule.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See 29 FR 18289 (Dec. 24, 1964).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In Sec.  25.571, the FAA corrects a minor typographical error.
    In Sec.  25.903(a)(3)(ii), the effective date of Sec.  33.68 is 
corrected to read ``March 26, 1984'' because that is the effective date 
of Amendment 33-10.
    In Sec.  25.903(a)(3)(iii), the effective date of Sec.  33.68 is 
corrected to read ``October 31, 1974'' because that is the effective 
date of Amendment 33-6.
    In Sec.  25.1517(b), the term ``VMO--35 KTAS'' is removed and 
replaced with ``VMO minus 35 KTAS'' to clarify that

[[Page 75705]]

the ``-'' symbol was logically intended to be a minus sign and not a 
dash.

Part 29

    In Sec.  29.1557(d), the cross reference to Sec.  29.811(h)(2), 
which does not exist, is replaced with the correct cross reference, 
Sec.  29.811(f)(2).

Part 33

    In Sec.  33.97(a), a comma is added between the words ``endurance'' 
and ``calibration'' to clarify that both endurance tests and 
calibration tests are required to evaluate thrust reversers and are 
separate tests.

Part 36

    In Sec.  36.1(a)(4), a spelling error is corrected.

Part 47

    Section 47.9(b) differentiates aircraft registered prior to January 
1, 1980 and aircraft registered after 1980. As the aircraft 
registration dates for all aircraft currently on the registry are after 
January 1, 1980, this differentiation is no longer necessary. The FAA 
has revised Sec.  47.9(b), (b)(1) and (b)(2) to remove the reference to 
January 1, 1980 and make conforming changes resulting from the removal 
of such reference.
    In Sec.  47.19, the phrase ``must be mailed to the Registry, 
Department of Transportation, Post Office Box 25504, Oklahoma City, 
Oklahoma 73125-0504, or delivered to the Registry at 6425 S. Denning 
Ave., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73169,'' is removed and replaced with, 
``must be delivered to the Registry by a means acceptable to the 
Administrator,'' to conform to the Registry's current practice of 
accepting digitally signed documents and communications by email as an 
alternative to delivery of hard copies, as well as submission of 
documents and communications by other means acceptable to the 
Administrator.

Part 49

    In Sec.  49.1(a)(2), the horsepower threshold for aircraft engines 
incorrectly references 750 and is corrected to 550 consistent with 
Sec.  49.41.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See 70 FR 239 (Jan. 3, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 49.11 is revised to conform to the Registry's current 
practice of accepting digitally signed documents by email in addition 
to accepting delivery of hard copies or acceptance of delivery by other 
means.
    In Sec.  49.13(a), the phrase ``must be in ink'' is removed and 
replaced with ``must be signed in a manner acceptable to the 
Administrator,'' to conform to the Registry's continued acceptance of 
digital signatures.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Notice of Policy Clarification for Acceptance of Documents 
With Digital Signatures by the Federal Aviation Administration 
Aircraft Registry, 81 FR 23348, (April 20, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 60

    Part 60 has multiple references to the ``National Simulator Program 
Manager'', ``NSPM'', and ``NSP''. This office and manager position no 
longer exist by those names due to the reorganization of the Air 
Transportation Division. Thus, this technical amendment updates all of 
these references by deleting or replacing them with ``responsible 
Flight Standards office'', ``Flight Standards Service'', or ``FAA'', as 
appropriate. Further, references to outdated websites, references to 
outdated contact information, and incorrect numbering are corrected.
    The following table identifies the nomenclature changes in 14 CFR 
part 60 to account for the reorganization of the Air Transportation 
Division:

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

    In addition to the above nomenclature changes, this technical 
amendment makes several other minor technical changes to 14 CFR part 
60.
    In appendices A, B, C, and D to part 60, paragraph 1. Introduction, 
the following changes are made to reflect the reorganization of the Air 
Transportation Division:
     Removed paragraph b.;
     Removed the last sentence of paragraph c.;
     Added ``Flightcrew Member'' after ``as amended,'' in 
appendix A, paragraph d.(12); appendix B, paragraph d.(12); appendix C, 
paragraph d.(10); and appendix D, paragraph d.(12); and
     Removed the phrase ``FAA Airman Testing Standards for the 
Airline Transport Pilot Certificate, Type Ratings, Commercial Pilot 
Certificate, and Instrument Ratings.'' and replaced with ``FAA Airman 
Certification Standards and Practical Test Standards for Airline 
Transport Pilot, Type Ratings, Commercial Pilot, and Instrument 
Ratings.'' in appendix A, paragraph d.(27); appendix B, paragraph 
d.(26); appendix C, paragraph d.(25); and appendix D, paragraph d.(28).
    ``NSP'' is removed from the following places to reflect the 
reorganization of the Air Transportation Division:
     Appendix A;
     Attachment 3 to appendix A;
     Appendix B;
     Attachment 3 to appendix B;
     Appendix C;
     Attachment 3 to appendix C;
     Appendix D; and
     Attachment 3 to appendix D.
    In attachment 3 to appendix A, 2. Discussion, the last sentence of 
paragraph g. is removed to reflect the reorganization of the Air 
Transportation Division.
    In the following Figures, the letter heading addressed to ``Edward 
D. Cook'' is removed because it is outdated contact information that is 
no longer accurate:
     Attachment 4 to appendix A, Figure A4A; and
     Attachment 4 to appendix B, Figure B4A.
    In the following Figures, ``FAA National Simulator Program'' is 
removed to reflect the reorganization of the Air Transportation 
Division:
     Attachment 4 to appendix A, Figure A4C;
     Attachment 4 to appendix B, Figure B4C;
     Attachment 4 to appendix C, Figure C4C; and
     Attachment 4 to appendix D, Figure D4C.
    In the following Figures, ``Manager, National Simulator Program'' 
is removed to reflect the reorganization of the Air Transportation 
Division:
     Attachment 4 to appendix A, Figure A4D;
     Attachment 4 to appendix B, Figure B4D;
     Attachment 4 to appendix C, Figure C4D; and
     Attachment 4 to appendix D, Figure D4D.
    In the following Figures, ``National Simulator Program'' and 
``NSPM'' are removed and replaced with ``FAA'' to reflect the 
reorganization of the Air Transportation Division:
     Attachment 4 to appendix A, Figure A4E;
     Attachment 4 to appendix B, Figure B4E;
     Attachment 4 to appendix C, Figure C4E; and
     Attachment 4 to appendix D, Figure D4E.
    ``NSP's'' is removed from attachment 6 to appendix A to reflect the 
reorganization of the Air Transportation Division.
    ``NSPM'' is removed from the second sentence of appendix B to 
reflect the reorganization of the Air Transportation Division.
    In attachment 3 to appendix C, the last sentence of the first 
paragraph h. is removed to reflect the reorganization of the Air 
Transportation Division. Also, the second paragraph h. is redesignated 
as paragraph i. and paragraph i. is redesignated as paragraph j.
    In the following Figures, the letter heading addressed to ``Charles 
A. Spillner'' is removed because it is outdated contact information 
that is no longer accurate:
     Attachment 4 to appendix C, figure C4A; and
     Attachment 4 to appendix D, figure D4A.
    In appendix D, 17. Modifications to FTDs, an incorrect reference is 
updated.
    In appendix E, paragraph i.(4) is removed and ``NSPM'' is removed 
from paragraphs h.(1) and h.(2) to reflect the reorganization of the 
Air Transportation Division.
    In appendix F, the definition for ``National Simulator Program 
Manager (NSPM)'' is removed and the abbreviation ``NSPM'' is removed to 
reflect the reorganization of the Air Transportation Division.
    In the Flight Simulation Training Device Qualification Standards 
for Extended Envelope and Adverse Weather Event Training Tasks Final 
Rule, the FAA removed Figure A4H Sample Continuing Qualification 
Evaluation Requirements Page from attachment 4 to appendix A because 
the final rule amendment to Sec.  60.19 made the figure obsolete and 
unnecessary. This same figure should have also been removed from 
Appendices B-D for the same reason. Thus, the following changes are 
made:
     In attachment 4 to appendix B, figure B4H is removed and 
the table of contents is updated accordingly;
     In attachment 4 to appendix C, figure C4H is removed and 
the table of contents is updated accordingly; and
     In attachment 4 to appendix D, figure D4H is removed and 
the table of contents is updated accordingly.
    In the Flight Simulation Training Device Qualification Standards 
for Extended Envelope and Adverse Weather Event Training Tasks Final 
Rule, the FAA added Level 7 FTDs to appendix B. However, the first 
sentence in this appendix does not include Level 7. Thus, in the first 
sentence of appendix B, the phrase ``or Level 6'' is replaced with 
``Level 6, or Level 7''.

[[Page 75707]]

Part 61

    In Sec.  61.58, paragraphs (j) and (k) are removed because the 
October 12, 2012, time limitation has passed and accordingly, those 
paragraphs are now obsolete.
    The FAA also corrects a spelling error in Sec.  61.313(h).

Part 67

    A mailing address is updated in Sec. Sec.  67.4 and 67.409(a). 
Additionally, in Sec.  67.409(a) a requirement that a duplicate 
document be submitted is removed because these documents are no longer 
reviewed in hardcopy.

Part 73

    This technical amendment updates office titles in Sec.  73.19(a) 
and (c) to reflect reorganization within the FAA. It also updates the 
FAA headquarters address in Sec.  73.19(a) and replaces the word 
``shall'' with ``must'' in Sec.  73.19(a), (b) and (c).

Part 91

    In Sec.  91.9(c), ``or part 48'' is added to indicate that an 
aircraft operating under part 91 may also be marked under part 48. This 
change aligns this provision with Sec.  91.203(a)(2).
    In Sec.  91.157(b)(4), aimed to specifically qualify daytime in 
Alaska because the time between sunrise and sunset is often a longer 
duration of time than in most of the United States. However, in a 1991 
final rule, the FAA stated that daytime in Alaska is ``when the sun is 
6[deg] or more above the horizon''. 56 FR 65660 (Dec. 17, 1991). 
According to the Air Almanac, issued annually by the United States 
Naval Observatory, civil twilight (daytime) begins and ends when the 
sun is 6 degrees below the horizon. As such, civil twilight (daytime) 
is any time when the sun is 6 degrees or less below the horizon. In 
1995, the FAA issued a technical amendment to correct the regulatory 
text to accurately capture daytime in Alaska amending it to state 
``when the sun is 6 degrees or more below the horizon''. 60 FR 66874 
(Dec. 27, 1995). However, this correction was inaccurate as more than 6 
degrees below the horizon is nighttime. This technical amendment is 
meant to achieve the original intent to refer to daytime in Alaska by 
amending the language to read ``when the sun is 6 degrees or less below 
the horizon''.
    In Sec.  91.203(a)(1), ``or part 48'' is added to indicate that an 
aircraft operating under part 91 may also be marked under part 48. This 
change aligns this provision with Sec.  91.203(a)(2).
    In Sec.  91.511(a), the phrase ``operating under this subpart'' is 
added to clarify who is subject to the prohibition.
    In Sec.  91.609(g), ``49 CFR'' is added prior to ``part 830'' 
everywhere that it appears to clarify which title of the CFR is being 
referenced.
    In Sec.  91.1001(b)(9), the reference to ``paragraph (b)(1)(v)'' is 
incorrect because no such paragraph exists. The reference to 
``paragraph (b)(1)(v)'' is replaced with the correct reference to 
``paragraph (b)(5)(vi)'', which addresses multi-year program 
agreements.

Part 97

    In Sec.  97.20(b), the FAA updates a mailing address and email 
address.

Part 101

    In Sec.  101.21(a), the reference to paragraph ``Sec.  
101.25(b)(7)(ii)'' is removed and replaced with the correct reference, 
``Sec.  101.25(g)(2)'', due to a technical amendment to Sec.  
101.25.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See 74 FR 38092 (July 31, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 107

    In Sec.  107.9, the word ``accident'' in the title is removed and 
replaced with the words ``safety event'' to eliminate confusion and to 
distinguish it from the statutory authority afforded exclusively to the 
National Transportation Safety Board published in 49 U.S.C. 1101.

Part 121

    In Sec. Sec.  121.310(b)(2)(iii), 121.311(b)(2)(ii)(C), 121.391(d), 
Sec.  121.523(c), the FAA corrects typographical, grammatical, and 
spelling errors.
    In Sec. Sec.  121.359(h) and 121.703(f), ``49 CFR'' is added prior 
to ``part 830'' everywhere that it appears to clarify which title of 
the CFR is being referenced.
    In Sec.  121.909(a) and Sec.  121.923(a)(2), the phrase ``through 
the FAA office responsible for approval of the certificate holder's 
operations specifications, to the Manager of the Air Transportation 
Division'' is removed and replaced with ``to the responsible Flight 
Standards office'' to reflect the reorganization in the Air 
Transportation Division.
    In Sec.  121.1115(f), Table 2, Bombardier: BD-700, the acronym 
``FH'', which stood for flight hours, is removed because it is 
incorrect and it is replaced with the correct acronym, ``FC'', which 
stands for flight cycles. Bombardier submitted information to the FAA 
to establish that the default limit of validity is 15,000 flight cycles 
rather than flight hours for the Bombardier Model BD-700; however, the 
FAA inadvertently used the acronym ``FH'' when listing the default LOV 
for the Bombardier Model BD-700 in Table 2.

Part 125

    In Sec.  125.285(d), the reference to ``(c)(3)'' is removed because 
it is incorrect and it is replaced with the correct reference, 
``(c)(2)'', which prescribes the observation of landings.

Part 129

    The FAA corrects a spelling error in Sec.  129.18(b). In Sec.  
129.115(f), Table 2, Bombardier: BD-700, the FAA removes the acronym 
``FH'', which stood for flight hours because it is incorrect and it is 
replaced with the correct acronym, ``FC'', which stands for flight 
cycles. Bombardier submitted information to the FAA to establish that 
the default limit of validity is 15,000 flight cycles rather than 
flight hours for the Bombardier Model BD-700; however, the FAA 
inadvertently used the acronym ``FH'' when listing the default LOV for 
the Bombardier Model BD-700 in Table 2.

Part 135

    In Sec.  135.415(f), ``49 CFR'' is added prior to ``part 830'' to 
clarify which title of the CFR is being referenced.

Part 141

    In a final rule published in the Federal Register on August 21, 
2009 (74 FR 42499), Pilot, Flight Instructor, and Pilot School 
Certification, the FAA revised paragraph 4 of appendix I to 14 CFR part 
141, to change the presentation of information in response to confusion 
about what is the amount of ground and flight training required for an 
add-on category and/or class rating course. In the process of changing 
the presentation of this information, the FAA inadvertently omitted the 
existing training requirements for an additional glider category rating 
for holders of a commercial pilot certificate. By correcting this 
typographical error, this technical amendment provides these existing 
requirements by specifying the required contents of such training 
programs.
    In a final rule published in the Federal Register on June 27, 2018 
(83 FR 30232), Regulatory Relief: Aviation Training Devices; Pilot 
Certification, Training, and Pilot Schools; and Other Provisions, the 
FAA inadvertently failed to revise part 141 appendix I, to allow the 
use of a technically advanced airplane (TAA) to satisfy the experience 
requirements, for those pilot applicants who would add category and 
class (specifically, Airplane Single Engine) to an existing Commercial 
Pilot Certificate. The original proposal was to provide relief to all 
regulated entities providing flight training for the Commercial Pilot 
Certificate with single engine land

[[Page 75708]]

rating under any applicable rule part, including part 141, appendix I. 
This was an inadvertent omission and has caused some confusion and 
concern within the flight training community. With that understanding, 
the FAA is providing a technical amendment to paragraph 4.(a)(3)(ii) of 
appendix I to part 141 to otherwise permit the use of a complex 
airplane, turbine-powered airplane, or a technically advanced airplane 
to meet the experience requirement.

Part 183

    The FAA is making updates to part 183 which are necessary to 
reflect organizational changes within the FAA. The Administrator 
established the Air Traffic Safety Oversight Service (AOV) within the 
Aviation Safety Organization (AVS) to provide independent oversight of 
the Air Traffic Organization in 2004. In 2006, the Administrator gave 
AOV the authority to manage the Control Tower Operator Certification 
Program but did not update part 183 to reflect this organizational 
change. Due to these changes, the FAA is revising Sec. Sec.  183.11(d) 
and 183.25(c)(2) to replace ``the Associate Administrator for Air 
Traffic'' with ``the Associate Administrator for Aviation Safety''. 
Additionally, Sec. Sec.  183.11(d) and 183.25(c) will specify that the 
air traffic control tower operator examiner is ``designated'' to be 
consistent with the terminology used for other positions involving 
delegated authority under 49 U.S.C. 44702(d).

Part 440

    In Sec.  440.19, this technical amendment restores paragraphs 
(a)(1) and (a)(2) which were inadvertently deleted from this section in 
a 2012 technical amendment.\7\

IV. Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    Federal agencies consider impacts of regulatory actions under a 
variety of executive orders and other requirements. First, Executive 
Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563 direct that each Federal agency 
shall propose or adopt a regulation only upon a reasoned determination 
that the benefits of the intended regulation justify the costs. Second, 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-354) requires 
agencies to analyze the economic impact of regulatory changes on small 
entities. Third, the Trade Agreements Act (Pub. L. 96-39) prohibits 
agencies from setting standards that create unnecessary obstacles to 
the foreign commerce of the United States. Fourth, the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4) requires agencies to 
prepare a written assessment of the costs, benefits, and other effects 
of proposed or final rules that include a Federal mandate that may 
result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in 
the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100,000,000 or more 
(adjusted annually for inflation) in any one year. The current 
threshold after adjustment for inflation is $165,000,000, using the 
most current (2021) Implicit Price Deflator for the Gross Domestic 
Product. This portion of the preamble summarizes the FAA's analysis of 
the economic impacts of this rule.
    In conducting these analyses, the FAA has determined that this 
rule: will result in benefits that justify costs; is not a 
``significant regulatory action'' as defined in section 3(f) of 
Executive Order 12866; will not create unnecessary obstacles to the 
foreign commerce of the United States; and will not impose an unfunded 
mandate on State, local, or tribal governments, or on the private 
sector.

A. Regulatory Impact Analysis

    This final rule corrects several technical errors that affect the 
clarity of the regulatory text. As all the amendments in this final 
rule are non-substantive and intended to correct typographical errors, 
editorial errors, and outdated or incorrect references, the FAA does 
not expect that these technical corrections will result in any 
substantive incremental costs or benefits. These changes include 
corrections of grammatical and typographical errors, corrections of 
incorrect cross references, updates to mailing addresses and contact 
information, and updates to terms and titles following the 
reorganization or the Air Transportation Division. Since this rule 
involves non-substantive and clarifying editorial changes only, the 
impacts of the rule will be minimal.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), in 5 U.S.C. 603, requires an 
agency to prepare an initial regulatory flexibility analysis describing 
impacts on small entities whenever 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law 
requires an agency to publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking 
for any proposed rule. Similarly, 5 U.S.C. 604 requires an agency to 
prepare a final regulatory flexibility analysis when an agency issues a 
final rule under 5 U.S.C. 553, after that section or any other law 
requires publication of a general notice of proposed rulemaking. The 
FAA concludes good cause exists to forgo notice and comment and to not 
delay the effective date for this rule. As 5 U.S.C. 553 does not 
require notice and comment in this situation, 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604 
similarly do not require regulatory flexibility analyses.

C. International Trade Impact Assessment

    The Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96-39), as amended, 
prohibits Federal agencies from establishing standards or engaging in 
related activities that create unnecessary obstacles to the foreign 
commerce of the United States. Pursuant to this Act, the establishment 
of standards is not considered an unnecessary obstacle to the foreign 
commerce of the United States, so long as the standard has a legitimate 
domestic objective, such as the protection of safety, and does not 
operate in a manner that excludes imports that meet this objective. The 
statute also requires consideration of international standards and, 
where appropriate, that they be the basis for U.S. standards.
    The FAA has assessed the potential effect of this rule and has 
determined that the rule is in accord with the Trade Agreements Act as 
the rule applies equally to domestic and foreign persons engaged in 
aviation activities under 14 CFR. As previously discussion, this action 
corrects several technical errors that affect the clarity of the 
regulatory text. These corrections will not impose any additional 
substantive restrictions or requirements on the persons affected by 
these regulations.

D. Unfunded Mandates Assessment

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) 
governs the issuance of Federal regulations that require unfunded 
mandates. An unfunded mandate is a regulation that requires a state, 
local, or tribal government or the private sector to incur direct costs 
without the Federal government having first provided the funds to pay 
those costs. The FAA determined that the rule will not result in the 
expenditure of $165,000,000 or more by State, local, or tribal 
governments, in the aggregate, or the private sector, in any one year.

E. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507(d)) requires 
that the FAA consider the impact of paperwork and other information 
collection burdens imposed on the public. The FAA has determined that 
there is no new requirement for information collection associated with 
this immediately adopted final rule.

[[Page 75709]]

F. International Compatibility

    In keeping with U.S. obligations under the Convention on 
International Civil Aviation, it is FAA policy to conform to 
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards and 
Recommended Practices to the maximum extent practicable. The FAA has 
reviewed the corresponding ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices and 
has identified no differences with these proposed regulations.

G. Environmental Analysis

    FAA Order 1050.1F identifies FAA actions that are categorically 
excluded from preparation of an environmental assessment or 
environmental impact statement under the National Environmental Policy 
Act in the absence of extraordinary circumstances. The FAA has 
determined this rulemaking action qualifies for the categorical 
exclusion identified in paragraph 5-6.6(f) for regulations and involves 
no extraordinary circumstances.

V. Executive Order Determinations

A. Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    The FAA has analyzed this immediately adopted final rule under the 
principles and criteria of Executive Order 13132, ``Federalism.'' The 
agency determined that this action will not have a substantial direct 
effect on the States, or the relationship between the Federal 
Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities among the various levels of government, and, 
therefore, does not have Federalism implications.

B. Executive Order 13211, Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    The FAA analyzed this immediately adopted final rule under 
Executive Order 13211, ``Actions Concerning Regulations that 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (May 18, 
2001). The agency has determined that it is not a ``significant energy 
action'' under the executive order and it is not likely to have a 
significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of 
energy.

C. Executive Order 13609, International Cooperation

    Executive Order 13609, ``Promoting International Regulatory 
Cooperation,'' promotes international regulatory cooperation to meet 
shared challenges involving health, safety, labor, security, 
environmental, and other issues and to reduce, eliminate, or prevent 
unnecessary differences in regulatory requirements. The FAA has 
analyzed this action under the policies and agency responsibilities of 
Executive Order 13609, and has determined that this action would have 
no effect on international regulatory cooperation.
