SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 10, 2011, the FAA published a final rule entitled, “Operations Specifications” (76 FR 7482).

In that final rule the FAA revised its regulations to clarify and standardize the rules for applications by foreign air carriers and foreign persons for part 129 operations specifications and establish new standards for amendment, suspension, and termination of those operations specifications. As part of the amendment, the FAA added new § 129.9(a)(2) and (b)(2) concerning the designation of an agent for service. The DATES section correctly listed the compliance date for § 129.9(a)(2) and (b)(2) as February 10, 2012. Section 129.9(a)(2) and (b)(2) in the regulatory text incorrectly stated that the compliance date was “Within 1 year after February 10, 2012.”

Correction

In FR Doc. 2011-2834, beginning on page 7484 in the Federal Register of February 10, 2011, make the following corrections:
