The FAA is amending its
regulations regarding separate

flight simulators. This document

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 17, 1996, the FAA published
a final rule entitled, ‘‘Training and
Qualification Requirements for Check
Airmen and Flight Instructors’’ (61 FR
30734).
In that final rule the FAA established
separate requirements for check airmen
who check only in flight simulators and
flight instructors who instruct only in
flight simulators. To ensure an
equivalent level of safety, the affected
check airmen and flight instructors must
accomplish the following: Recency of
experience requirements, including
completion of an approved lineobservation program within each 12-

month period; and required training,
including recurrent ground and flight
training. Additionally this rule allowed
check airman and flight instructors to
obtain all of their flight training in
simulators, as opposed to the then
current scheme in which initial and
transition flight training must include
an in-flight element.
Technical Amendment
This technical amendment makes two
revisions to the final rule: (1) The
language in § 121.412(f)(2) incorrectly
uses the term ‘‘check airman’’ when the
term ‘‘flight instructor’’ should have
been used; and (2) the language in
§ 135.338(f)(2) incorrectly uses the term
‘‘check airman’’ when the term ‘‘flight
instructor’’ should have been used.
Accordingly, this technical amendment
revises §§ 121.412(f)(2) and
135.338(f)(2).
Because the changes in this technical
amendment result in no substantive
change, we find good cause exists under
5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the
amendment effective in less than 30
days.

Temporary final rule.
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone
closing the Atchafalaya River to all
commercial traffic from MM 117
(Morgan City Railroad Bridge) to MM 0

general public, vessels and tows from
destruction, and the levee system from
destruction, loss or injury due to
hazards associated with rising flood
water.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
Regulatory Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment
pursuant to authority under section 4(a)
of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because
publishing a NPRM would be
impracticable since immediate action is
needed to protect the general public,
levee system, vessels and tows from the
hazards associated with rising flood
water on the Atchafalaya River.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Publishing a NPRM and
delaying its effective date would be
impracticable since immediate action is
needed to protect the general public,
levee system, vessels and tows from
destruction, loss or injury due to the
