    SUMMARY: This amendment adopts changes to certain references and 
    language in the regulations governing the operations of certificate 
    holders under parts 121 and 135. Many of these changes are made 
    necessary as a result of the issuance of new part 119, which has made 
    numerous references in parts 121 and 135 incorrect or obsolete. The 
    changes to parts 121 and 135 in this amendment will not impose any 
    additional restrictions on persons affected by these regulations.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: February 26, 1996.

    Linda Williams, Office of Rulemaking (ARM-    ); Federal Aviation 
    Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    Background
    
        On December 20, 1995, new part 119, Certification: Air Carriers and 
    Commercial Operators, was published in the Federal Register (60 FR 
    65913; December 20, 1995). Part 119 reorganizes, into one part, 
    certification and operations specifications requirements that formerly 
    existed in SFAR 38-2 and in parts 121 and 135. The final rule for new 
    part 119 also deleted or changed certain sections in part 121, Subparts 
    A--D, and part 135, Subpart A, because most of the requirements in 
    those subparts appear in part 119. This amendment makes editorial and 
    terminology changes in the remaining subparts of parts 121 and 135 to 
    conform those parts to the language of part 119 and to make certain 
    other changes.
        Part 119 was issued as part of a large rulemaking effort to upgrade 
    the requirements that apply to scheduled operations conducted in 
    airplanes that seat 10 to 30 passengers. These operations will in the 
    future be conducted under the requirements of part 121, in accordance 
    with the final rule published on December 20, 1995. The changes in this 
    final rule are necessary as a result of the issuance of part 119, and 
    as ``house-keeping'' items for commuter operations affected by the 
    final rule published on December 20, 1995. These changes are consistent 
    with the commuter rule.
    
    Editorial Changes
    
        The new part 119 and revisions to parts 121 and 135 require certain 
    editorial changes. These changes are being made for clarity and 
    consistency and to facilitate combining the certification requirements 
    of parts 121 and 135 into new part 119. None of these changes impose 
    any additional requirements on persons affected by the regulations.
        The following are examples of changes being made in this final rule 
    to the sections remaining in part 121 and part 135 in order to make 
    these sections consistent with each other and with new part 119 and to 
    reflect current FAA administrative procedures:
        (1) References to ``domestic, flag, or supplemental air carriers'' 
    have been changed to ``domestic, flag, or supplemental operations,'' or 
    ``certificate holder conducting domestic, flag, or supplemental 
    operations,'' as appropriate. Likewise, the term ``commercial 
    operator'' has been changed to refer to the type of operation, such as 
    ``domestic operation,'' or to ``certificate holder.''
        (2) References to an ``ATCO Operating Certificate'' have been 
    changed to ``Air Carrier Operating Certificate or Operating 
    Certificate.''
        (3) References to ``Flight Standards District Office'' and 
    ``District Office'' have been changed to ``certificate-holding district 
    office.''
        (4) Language changes have been made for consistency and to 
    facilitate computer searches for certain terms; for example, 
    ``principal operations base'' is changed to ``principal base of 
    operations.''
        (5) Obsolete compliance dates have been removed. These dates were 
    originally included in the regulations as a convenience to give 
    certificate holders the schedule for complying with certain 
    regulations. Now that these dates are past, they are being removed.
        (6) References to the operation of rotorcraft have been removed 
    from part 121 because, as a result of SFAR 38-2 and new part 119, all 
    rotorcraft operations are now conducted under part 135.
        (7) Additionally, a correction is being made to Sec. 135.227(f) 
    concerning operations in icing conditions. When the agency inserted a 
    new paragraph (b) in Sec. 135.227 as part of the ground deicing final 
    rule, and agency neglected to update certain references in what is now 
    paragraph (f). This amendment corrects that oversight.
        (8) The definition of ``scheduled operation'' is corrected to the 
    verbiage that appeared in the NPRM to eliminate a redundancy in the 
    language.
        (9) Although the preamble states that section 119.58 is removed, 
    the final rule language contained that section. Therefore, section 
    119.58 is removed. Likewise, section 121.6 is removed for the same 
    reason.
        (10) In the preamble to the final rule, the FAA states that section 
    119.71, requirements for the Director of Maintenance, requires 3 years 
    of experience within any amount of time; however the rule language for 
    that section reads ``3 years of experience within 3 years . . .'' in 
    both (e)(1) and (2). The FAA corrects the rule language to indicate 
    this.
    
    Age 60 Rule
    
        In the final rule published at 60 FR 65832, the delayed pilot age 
    limitation contained an error as to which pilots it applies. Section 
    121.2(i)(1) provides for delayed implementation of the Age 60 Rule 
    (Sec. 121.383(c)) for certain pilots. Section 121.2(i)(2) defined those 
    pilots as those employed by covered certificate holders ``on or before 
    March 20, 1997.'' The intent, however, was to include only those pilots 
    employed on March 20, 1997. See, for instance, the discussion in the 
    preamble at 60 FR 65843. Accordingly, the words ``or before'' are being 
    deleted from the rule.
        In addition, the FAA has received questions about the applicability 
    of Sec. 121.2(i) to pilots employed by certificate holders with ``split 
    certificates.'' An air carrier with a ``split certificate'' in this 
    instance means an air carrier with authority to engage in both 
    operations that have in the past been under part 121 (and will continue 
    to be under part 121), and operations described in Sec. 121.2(a)(1) 
    (which have been under part 135 but will be under part 121 under the 
    new rule). Some people have asked whether a pilot who is employed by a 
    certificate holder with a ``split certificate'' on March 20, 1997, is 
    under the delayed compliance described in Sec. 121.2(i). The answer 
    depends on the type of operations in which the pilot is employed on 
    March 20, 1997. If the pilot is employed in operations described in 
    Sec. 121.2(a)(1) on that date, the pilot may serve as a pilot in such 
    operations until December 20, 1999. If the pilot is not employed in 
    such operations on March 20, 1997, the 
    
    [[Page 2609]]
    pilot may not serve in Sec. 121.2(a)(1) operations after March 20, 
    1997. To clarify this, Sec. 121.2(i)(2) is being amended to provide 
    that the delayed compliance for the Age 60 Rule depends on the 
    operations in which the pilot is employed on March 20, 1997. In 
    addition, Sec. 121.2(i)(1) is being amended to provide that a pilot who 
    has reached the age of 60 may only be used in operations covered in 
    Sec. 121.2(a)(1).
        There has been some confusion regarding the overall impact of the 
    delayed compliance date for the Age 60 Rule. The following discussion 
    should assist in understanding the rule.
        The delayed compliance described in Sec. 121.2(i) applies only to 
    those operations described in Sec. 121.2(a)(1), which identifies those 
    commuter operations that were under part 135 and will transition to 
    part 121 rules (that is, the ``covered operations''). The application 
    of the Age 60 Rule to certificate holders who have in the past been 
    under part 121 is not affected.
        On and before March 20, 1997, certificate holders may hire and use 
    pilots in covered operations regardless of age.
        Starting on March 21, 1997, and through December 19, 1999, a 
    certificate holder may hire and use in covered operations only the 
    following pilots:
    
    --persons who have not reached age 60;
    --persons who, on March 20, 1997, were employed by that certificate 
    holder as pilots in covered operations, regardless of current age; and
    --persons who, on March 20, 1997, were employed by another certificate 
    holder as pilots in covered operations, regardless of current age.
    
        Starting on December 20, 1999, no pilots who have reached their 
    60th birthdays will be permitted in covered operations. As of that 
    date, all operations under part 121 will be fully in compliance with 
    the Age 60 Rule.
        In addition, in the appendix to this amendment, the FAA republishes 
    four charts, Tables 1 through 4, contained in the final rule to correct 
    minor errors made during the publication process.
    
    Federalism Implications
    
        The regulations do not have substantial direct effects on the 
    states, on the relationship between the national government and the 
    states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among 
    various levels of government. Thus, in accordance with Executive Order 
    12612, it is determined that such a regulation does not have federalism 
    implications warranting the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
    
    Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        The information collection requirements associated with this rule 
    have already been approved. There will be no increase or decrease in 
    paperwork requirements as a result of these amendments, since the 
    changes are completely editorial in nature.
    
    Good Cause Justification for Immediate Adoption
    
        This amendment is needed to conform parts 121 and 135 to the 
    terminology of new part 119. In view of the need to expedite these 
    changes, and because the amendment is editorial in nature and would 
    impose no additional burden on the public, I find that notice and 
    opportunity for public comment before adopting this amendment is 
    unnecessary.
    
    Conclusion
    
        The FAA has determined that this regulation imposes no additional 
    burden on any person. Accordingly, it has been determined that the 
    action: (1) is not a significant rule under Executive Order 12866; and 
    (2) is not a significant rule under Department of Transportation 
    Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); 
    Also, because this regulation is of editorial nature, no impact is 
    expected to result and a full regulatory evaluation is not required. In 
    addition, the FAA certifies that the rule will not have a significant 
    economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small 
    entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
