Reduction of Fuel Tank Flammability in
Transport Category Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule, correcting
amendments.
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) is correcting
inadvertent errors that appeared in a
previously-published final rule. That
final rule amended FAA regulations that
require operators and manufacturers of
transport category airplanes to take
steps that, in combination with other
required actions, should greatly reduce
the chances of a catastrophic fuel tank
explosion. In that final rule, erroneous
compliance dates were shown. This
document changes those compliance
dates accordingly. It also corrects other
non-substantive errors that have come to
our attention.
DATES: Effective July 2, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
you have technical questions about this
action, contact Michael E. Dostert, FAA,
Propulsion/Mechanical Systems Branch,
ANM–112, Transport Airplane
Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting
and recordkeeping requirements.
Background
[Docket No. FAA–2005–22997; Amendment
Nos. 26–3, 121–345, 125–57, and 129–47]
14 CFR Part 129
The Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) published a final rule, request for
comments entitled ‘‘Reduction of Fuel
Tank Flammability in Transport
Category Airplanes’’ in the Federal
Register on July 21, 2008 (73 FR 42444).
Recently, it was brought to our
attention that the effective date shown
in the document was inconsistent with
the Congressional Review Act. This act
specifies that, for major rules like this
one, the effective date is no sooner than
60 days after publication or 60 days
after submission to Congress, whichever
occurs later. Since this rule was not
received by the Government Accounting
Office until October 27, 2008, the
effective date of the rule per the
Congressional Review Act is December
26, 2008, not September 19, 2008.
Because compliance dates were
calculated based on a September 19,
2008 effective date, those dates are
incorrect. This document makes the
appropriate amendatory changes
necessary to reflect the new compliance
dates. We also found some minor errors
in §§ 121.1117, 125.509 and 129.117
and are correcting them in this
document.

Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Security measures.
The Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Federal Aviation Administration
amends Chapter 1 of Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 26, 121,
125, and 129, as follows:

Consistent with U.S. Government
policy to facilitate trade for civilian endusers, BIS amended the EAR in a final
rule on June 19, 2007 (72 FR 33646) by
creating a new authorization for
‘‘validated end-users’’ (VEUs) located in
eligible destinations to which eligible
items (commodities, software and
technology, except those controlled for
missile technology or crime control
reasons) may be exported, reexported or
transferred under a general
authorization instead of a license in
conformance with Section 748.15 of the
EAR. In a final rule published in the
Federal Register on October 1, 2007 (72
FR 56010, October 1, 2007), BIS
identified India as an eligible
destination under Authorization VEU.

Reduction of Fuel Tank Flammability in Transport Category

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule, correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is correcting
inadvertent errors that appeared in a previously-published final rule.
That final rule amended FAA regulations that require operators and
manufacturers of transport category airplanes to take steps that, in
combination with other required actions, should greatly reduce the
chances of a catastrophic fuel tank explosion. In that final rule,
erroneous compliance dates were shown. This document changes those
compliance dates accordingly. It also corrects other non-substantive
errors that have come to our attention.
DATES: Effective July 2, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a final rule,
request for comments entitled ``Reduction of Fuel Tank Flammability in
Transport Category Airplanes'' in the Federal Register on July 21, 2008
(73 FR 42444).
Recently, it was brought to our attention that the effective date
shown in the document was inconsistent with the Congressional Review
Act. This act specifies that, for major rules like this one, the
effective date is no sooner than 60 days after publication or 60 days
after submission to Congress, whichever occurs later. Since this rule
was not received by the Government Accounting Office until October 27,
2008, the effective date of the rule per the Congressional Review Act
is December 26, 2008, not September 19, 2008. Because compliance dates
were calculated based on a September 19, 2008 effective date, those
dates are incorrect. This document makes the appropriate amendatory
changes necessary to reflect the new compliance dates. We also found
some minor errors in Sec. Sec. 121.1117, 125.509 and 129.117 and are
correcting them in this document.
