SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On June 29, 2004, the FAA published the Final Rule, Aircraft Assembly Placard Requirements, as instructed by an act of Congress. The rule instructed affected air carriers to display a placard with information on where the aircraft was assembled. We instructed air carriers to provide that information in one sentence on the seat-pocket cards that inform passengers of emergency procedures.

As noted in the preamble, the final rule would not become effective until the FAA received approval from OMB for the information collection that was required in the rule. In the DATES section of the final rule, we said that when that approval was received we would publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing the effective date.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, OMB approved the FAA's request for new information collection on November 8, 2004. Please note that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number associated with this collection is 2120-0691. The request was approved by OMB without change and expires on November 30, 2007.

Additionally, the Final Rule was published without amendment numbers. This notice adds those amendment numbers as shown in the heading.

49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 40119, 41706, 44101, 44701-44702, 44705, 44709-44711, 44713, 44716-44717, 44722, 46105, grants authority to the Administrator to publish this notice. The final rule (FR 69 39292) is effective immediately.

Issued in Washington, DC, on June 15, 2005.

Director, Office of Rulemaking.
