DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Parts 65 and 91


Technical Corrections

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendments.

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

SUMMARY: This action makes minor corrections to two final rules. The 
rules were published in the Federal Register on August 9, 1979 and 
August 18, 1989, respectively. This action corrects the paragraph 
reference which describes the requisite qualifications to obtain a 
repairman certificate. This action also corrects the appendix 
references which describe requirements for altimeter system and 
altitude reporting equipment tests and inspections. The intent of this 
action is to ensure that the regulations are clear and accurate.

EFFECTIVE DATES: Effective on February 20, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kim Barnette, Aircraft Maintenance 
Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, 
800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591. Telephone: (202-
493-4922); facsimile: (202-267-5115); e-mail: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 9, 1979, the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) published in the Federal Register (44 FR 46778) a 
final rule that amended 14 CFR 65.101 by designating the unnumbered 
paragraph as paragraph (a) and redesignating paragraphs (a) through (f) 
as paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(6), respectively. However, the 
reference in paragraph (a)(6) to paragraph (c) was inadvertently not 
changed to reflect the redesignated numbering. This document makes the 
appropriate amendatory change to Sec.  65.101(a)(6) to replace the 
incorrect reference (paragraph (c)) with the correct reference ( 
paragraph (a)(3)).
    On August 18, 1989, the FAA published in the Federal Register (54 
FR 34284) a final rule that included revisions to part 91, subpart E. 
One of the revisions was to redesignate Sec.  91.171 (Altimeter system 
and altitude reporting equipment tests and inspections), as Sec.  
91.411. In making this change, the appendix references in paragraphs 
(a)(1) and (a)(2) were inadvertently reversed. That is, in paragraph 
(a)(1) we referenced appendix E, and in paragraph (a)(2), we referenced 
appendices E and F. However, the correct references are appendices E 
and F for paragraph (a)(1) and appendix E for paragraph (a)(2). This 
action revises Sec.  91.411 to include the correct appendix references.

Technical Amendment

    This technical amendment will change the paragraph reference in 
Sec.  65.101(a)(6) from paragraph (c) to paragraph (a)(3). And, it will 
revise Sec.  91.411 to reference appendices E and F in paragraph (a)(1) 
and appendix E in paragraph (a)(2).
    These corrections to parts 65 and 91 will not impose any additional 
requirements on operators affected by these regulations.
