AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION:

Final rule; technical correction.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This final rule is effective August 15, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On November 8, 2007, the FAA published a final rule to establish part 26 in the Code of Federal Regulations (72 FR 63364). The heading for subpart B of that part contained the phrase “aging systems” instead of the intended “airplane systems.” This final rule corrects that error.

Justification for Immediate Adoption

Because this action corrects merely a typographical error, the FAA finds that notice and public comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary. For the same reason, the FAA finds that good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making this rule effective upon publication.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 26

• Aircraft
• Aviation safety
• Continued airworthiness

In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends Chapter I of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations part 26 as follows:

PART 26—CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS FOR TRANSPORT CATEGORY AIRPLANES

1. The authority citation for part 26 continues to read as follows:

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702 and 44704.

Subpart B—Enhanced Airworthiness Program for Airplane Systems

2. The heading for subpart B is revised to read as set forth above.

Issued in Washington, DC, on August 11, 2008.
