ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting amendatory language and regulatory text regarding one paragraph of the final rule entitled ‘‘Modification of Certain Medical Standards and Procedures and Duration of Certain Medical Certificates’’. The rule extends the duration of first- and third-class medical certificates for certain individuals. The FAA intended to revise an entire paragraph of the section entitled ‘‘Duration of a medical certificate’’; however, the amendatory language incorrectly indicates that only one paragraph is being revised.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 24, 2008, the FAA published a final rule that extends the duration of the FAA airman medical certificates for certain pilots under the age of 40 at the time of their last medical examination (73 FR 43059). First-class medical certificates, required for airline transport pilot operations, are now valid for 1 year instead of 6 months; thirdclass medical certificates, required for private pilot operations, are now valid for 5 years instead of 3 years. 48125 In the final rule, the FAA intended to revise § 61.23(d) in its entirety, but inadvertently categorized it only as a revision to paragraph (d)(1). Correction This correction makes no changes to the substance of the original final rule. It corrects the amendatory language by revising the entire paragraph (d) of § 61.23, as intended, instead of only paragraph (d)(1). It also corrects the regulatory text by removing (1) of the introductory text to paragraph (d). Moreover, the correction brings paragraph designations under (d) in conformance with the proper format requirements. Consequently, the paragraphs in the first column that were previously designated as (i), (ii), and (iii) are now designated as (1), (2), and (3). The paragraphs in the second column that were previously designated with capital letters ((A), (B), (C), etc.) are now designated with roman numerals ((i), (ii), (iii), etc.). The text of the entire table remains the same. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 61 Aircraft, Airmen, Aviation safety, and Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In the Federal Register of July 3, 2008 (73 FR 38110), FDA published an order prohibiting the extralabel use of cephalosporin antimicrobial drugs in food-producing animals, with a 60-day comment period and a 90-day effective date for the final rule. The agency has received requests for a 60-day extension of the comment period for the order of prohibition. The requests conveyed concern that the current 60-day comment period does not allow sufficient time to examine the available evidence, consider the impact of the ruling, and provide constructive comment. FDA has considered the requests and is extending the comment period for the order for 60 days, until November 1, 2008. Accordingly, FDA is also delaying the effective date of the final rule 60 days, until November 30, 2008. The agency believes that a 60-day extension allows adequate time for interested persons to submit comments without significantly delaying implementation of the final rule. II. Request for Comments Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 48127 ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments regarding this document.

Modification of Certain Medical Standards and Procedures and 
Duration of Certain Medical Certificates; Correcting Amendment

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting amendatory language and regulatory text 
regarding one paragraph of the final rule entitled ``Modification of 
Certain Medical Standards and Procedures and Duration of Certain 
Medical Certificates''. The rule extends the duration of first- and 
third-class medical certificates for certain individuals. The FAA 
intended to revise an entire paragraph of the section entitled 
``Duration of a medical certificate''; however, the amendatory language 
incorrectly indicates that only one paragraph is being revised.

DATES: Effective August 18, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 24, 2008, the FAA published a final rule that extends the 
duration of the FAA airman medical certificates for certain pilots 
under the age of 40 at the time of their last medical examination (73 
FR 43059). First-class medical certificates, required for airline 
transport pilot operations, are now valid for 1 year instead of 6 
months; third-class medical certificates, required for private pilot 
operations, are now valid for 5 years instead of 3 years.
    In the final rule, the FAA intended to revise Sec.  61.23(d) in its 
entirety, but inadvertently categorized it only as a revision to 
paragraph (d)(1).

Correction

    This correction makes no changes to the substance of the original 
final rule. It corrects the amendatory language by revising the entire 
paragraph (d) of Sec.  61.23, as intended, instead of only paragraph 
(d)(1). It also corrects the regulatory text by removing (1) of the 
introductory text to paragraph (d). Moreover, the correction brings 
paragraph designations under (d) in conformance with the proper format 
requirements. Consequently, the paragraphs in the first column that 
were previously designated as (i), (ii), and (iii) are now designated 
as (1), (2), and (3). The paragraphs in the second column that were 
previously designated with capital letters ((A), (B), (C), etc.) are 
now designated with roman numerals ((i), (ii), (iii), etc.). The text 
of the entire table remains the same.
