SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On April 22, 2016, the Federal Register published a document designated as Docket No. FAA-2015-4279, Final Special Conditions No. 25-612-SC (81 FR 23573). The document issued special conditions pertaining to the installation of non-rechargeable lithium batteries in Gulfstream GVI airplanes. As published, the document contained an error in a title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) section citation in two locations in the final special conditions document. These citations inadvertently referred to the wrong amendment level for the certification basis of the various Gulfstream GVI airplanes. Therefore, we have corrected these special conditions to include the correct citations and amendment levels that apply to certification bases applicable to airplanes with non-rechargeable lithium-ion battery installations.

Correction

In the final special conditions document (FR Doc. 2016-09311 Filed 4-21-16; 8:45 a.m.), published on April 22, 2016 (81 FR 23573), make the following corrections.
