Need for Correction
As published, the final rule contains
a typographical error that may cause
confusion and therefore is in need of
clarification. The instruction for 8 CFR
1003.103 says in part that the first
sentence of paragraph (a)(1) is revised.
However the entire paragraph is revised.
The first sentence is revised to reflect
the technical correction in terminology
from ‘‘the Office of the General Counsel
of EOIR’’ to ‘‘the EOIR disciplinary
counsel,’’ and to allow for immediate
suspension of a practitioner who resigns
from the highest court of any State,
possession, territory, or Commonwealth
of the United States, or the District of
Columbia, or any Federal court, while a
disciplinary investigation is pending.
The paragraph is further revised to
incorporate the technical correction in
terminology from ‘‘the Office of the
General Counsel of the Service’’ to
‘‘DHS.’’
Correction
For the reasons stated above, in the
FR Doc. E8–30027, beginning on page
76914 in the Federal Register of
Thursday, December 18, 2008, the
following correction is made:
§ 1003.103
[Corrected]
On page 76923, in the third column,
instruction 7a. is corrected to read as
follows:
■ 7. Amend § 1003.103 by:
■ a. Revising paragraph (a)(1);

Clarification for Submitting Petitions
for Rulemaking or Exemption
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.

Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
ACTION: Final rule; technical
amendment.
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) is making minor
technical changes to the requirements
for submitting a petition for rulemaking
or exemption. In a final rule published
in the Federal Register on December 5,
2007, the FAA inadvertently did not
make conforming amendments to plain
language requirements in the structure
and content of the final rule. This
technical amendment restructures or
reorders the filing of petitions and
incorporates a reference for additional
filing guidance and instructions using
the Federal Docket Management System
(FDMS). These changes ensure general
rulemaking procedures are clear, written
in plain language, and better inform the
public of administrative practices.
DATES: Effective Dates: This rule is
effective January 5, 2009.

katrina.holiday@faa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
published in the Federal Register on
December 5, 2007 (72 FR 68474) a
document that amended the regulations
for submitting petitions for rulemaking
or exemption. This technical
amendment—
(1) Incorporates a reference to
available guidance and instructions that
may ease the use of FDMS. This
guidance is accessible via the Internet at
https://www.regulations.gov, and
additional instructions for petitions for
rulemaking or exemption are also
accessible via the Internet at https://
www.faa.gov/regulations.
(2) Amends 14 CFR 11.63(a) and (b)
by reordering these paragraphs by order
of importance to address in paragraph
(a) general submissions of petitions for
rulemaking or exemption, and
paragraph (b) specific petitions for
rulemaking or exemption for relief from
part 139 of this chapter.
Because these actions are merely
administrative in nature, the FAA finds
that notice and public procedure 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
