Background

    On July 24, 2025, the ``Modernization of Special Airworthiness 
Certification'' final rule (RIN 2120-AL50) published in the Federal 
Register at 90 FR 35034. After publication, FAA discovered that it 
inadvertently:
     Included 49 U.S.C. 106(g) in the authority section for 
Parts 43 and 45 in amendatory instructions numbers 27 and 30.
     Excluded a mention of (c)(21) in amendatory instruction 
number 46.
     Excluded a mention of introductory text in amendatory 
instruction number 53.
     Referenced ``dection'' rather than ``section'' in the 
first two column headers of Table 5.
    This document makes those corrections.
