Protective Breathing Equipment; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the Protective 
Breathing Equipment final rule, 61 FR 43918, published August 26, 1996. 
The rule amended the regulations governing portable protective 
breathing equipment (PBE) required for crewmembers' use in combating 
in-flight fires. It is intended to codify exemptions currently in 
place, clarify ambiguities in the existing regulation, and allow air 
carriers added flexibility with compliance while maintaining or 
increasing safety. This action will correct the final rule statement 
that removes paragraph (d)(1) of Sec. 121.337, since paragraph (d) of 
Sec. 121.337 was removed as a result of the Commuter Operations and 
General Certification and Operations Requirement final rule, 60 FR 
665832, published December 20, 1995.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 7, 1996.

The Correction

    In considering of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation 
Administration corrects the final rule published August 26, 1996, (61 
FR 43918) amending 14 CFR part 121. On page 43921 in the third column, 
amendatory instruction number 2 is corrected to read as follows: ``2.

redesignating paragraphs (b)(9)(ii), (b)(9)(iii), and (b)(9)(iv) as 
(b)(9)(i), (b)(9)(ii), and (b)(9)(iii); by revising paragraph 
(b)(9)(iii); and by revising newly designated paragraph (b)(9)(iii).''
