RIN 2120-AJ44


Production and Airworthiness Approval, Part Marking, and 
Miscellaneous Amendments; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is making certain corrections to the Certification 
Procedures and Identification Requirements for Aeronautical Products 
and Articles final rule published on October 16, 2009 (74 FR 53368). 
The purpose of that final rule was to update and standardize those 
requirements for production approval holders (PAHs), revise export 
airworthiness approval requirements to facilitate global manufacturing, 
move all part marking requirements from part 21 to part 45, and amend 
the identification requirements for products and articles. In the 
amendatory language and the preamble, we inadvertently referred to 
incorrect paragraphs and text. This document corrects those errors.

DATES: These corrections, including a correction to the effective date 
of the October 16, 2009, final rule, will become effective on April 14, 
2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 16, 2009 (74 FR 53368), we published a final rule that 
standardized, revised, and relocated certification procedures and 
identification requirements in Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR), parts 1, 21, 43, and 45. The rule was necessary to further 
promote safety by ensuring that aircraft and products and articles 
designed specifically for use in aircraft, wherever manufactured, meet 
appropriate minimum standards for design and construction.
    In Sec. Sec.  21.9(b) and (c) of the final rule, we inadvertently 
referred to paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4), when we should have 
referred to paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2). When we added text to 
reserved Sec.  21.122, in paragraph (a) we inadvertently stated ``An 
applicant may obtain a production certificate for'' when we should have 
stated ``A type certificate holder may utilize''. In Sec.  21.621, we 
also inadvertently referred to the ``Issuance'' rather than the 
``Issue'' of letters of TSO design approval: import articles.
    In final rule FR Doc. E9-24821 published on October 16, 2009 (74 FR 
53368), make the following corrections:

A. Corrections to the Preamble

    1. On page 53368, in the first column, revise the Effective Date 
section to read as follows: ``This rule is effective April 16, 2011, 
except for the amendments to Sec. Sec.  1.1, 1.2, 21.183, 21.185, 
21.195, 21.197, 21.223, 21.225, subparts L and N of part 21, and 
Sec. Sec.  45.11 and 45.13, which are effective April 14, 2010.''
    2. On page 53375, in the first column, in the first paragraph of 
section 6, Location of or Change to Manufacturing Facilities, remove 
the words ``or physical changes'' from the first sentence, and remove 
the word ``only'' from the last sentence.
    3. On page 53379, in the second column, in the first paragraph of 
section 13, Persons Authorized to Perform Maintenance, Preventive 
Maintenance, Rebuilding, and Alterations, remove the word ``only'' from 
the last sentence.
    4. On page 53379, in the third column, in the second paragraph of 
section 14, Statement of Conformity, remove the word ``special'' and 
add in its place the word ``standard'' in the last sentence.
    5. On page 53380, in the first column, revise the first paragraph 
of section C, Compliance Dates, to read: ``The effective and compliance 
date for part 1; part 21, subparts H, I, L, and N; and part 45, subpart 
B, Sec. Sec.  45.11 and 45.13 is 180 days after publication in the 
Federal Register. The rule changes in these subparts are either cost 
relieving or have no economic impact on industry. The changes do not 
affect, and are not affected by, other changes to the rule. Therefore, 
the compliance date is the same as the effective date. All other 
portions of the final rule either promulgate new requirements or are 
tied to other requirements that have an extended effective and 
compliance date. These rule provisions have an effective and compliance 
date of 18 months after publication in the Federal Register.''

B. Corrections to the Regulatory Text

    1. On page 53385, in the third column, in the amendment for Sec.  
21.9:
    A. In paragraph (b), remove the words ``(a)(1) through (a)(4)'' and 
add in their place the words ``(a)(1) and (a)(2)''; and
    B. In paragraph (c) introductory text, remove the words ``(a)(1) 
through (a)(4)'' and add in their place the words ``(a)(1) and 
(a)(2)''.
    2. On page 53387, in the second column, in the amendment for Sec.  
21.122, amend paragraph (a) by removing the words ``An applicant may 
obtain a production certificate for'' and adding in their place the 
words ``A type certificate holder may utilize''.
    3. On page 53393, in the third column, in the amendment for Sec.  
21.621, revise the section heading to read as follows:


Sec.  21.621  Issue of letters of TSO design approval: Import articles.
