SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department is making editorial corrections to its November 1,
1996, final rule (61 FR 56409), amending 49 CFR parts 27 and 14 CFR
part 382, which implement section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the
Air Carrier Access Act. The final rule concerned such subjects as lifts
for small commuter aircraft, airport terminal accessibility, and
passengers with communicable diseases.
Need for Correction
As published, the document contains errors which may prove to be
misleading and are in need of correction. First, the title of an
amendment to the Air Carrier Access Act regulation's ``Provision of
services and equipment'' section is misnumbered (61 FR 56422). It reads
``Sec. 382.49''; it should read ``Sec. 382.39.'' Second, in the
amendment to Sec. 382.39(a)(2) (61 FR 56423), the word ``commuter'' in
the final sentence is unnecessary and may be confusing, and should be
deleted. In the same sentence, the words ``fewer than 30'' should be
changed to ``30 or fewer.'' Third, in the amendment to the section 504
rule (61 FR 56424), Sec. 27.72(c)(2) inadvertantly included the word
``rule'' in three places, and we are deleting it.
Correction of Publication
Accordingly, the publication on November 1, 1996, of the final
regulations amending 14 CFR part 382 and 49 CFR part 27, which were the
subject of FR Doc. 96-28084, is corrected as follows:
1. On page 56422, in the third column, following amendatory
instruction 4, the title of the amended section is corrected to read as
follows:
Sec. 382.39 Provision of services and equipment.
2. On page 56423, in the first column, the last sentence of the
amended Sec. 382.39(a)(2) is corrected by removing the word
``commuter'' and changing the words ``fewer than 30'' to ``30 or
fewer.''
3. On page 56424, in the third column, the first sentence of new
Sec. 27.72(c)(2) is corrected by removing the word ``rule'' in three
places: after the words ``December 2, 1998'', after the words
``December 2, 1999'', and after the words ``December 4, 2000.''
