ACTION: Final rule; technical
amendment.
AGENCY:
The FAA is correcting two
regulatory cross-references. The

reflect changes that were implemented
in the final rule dated November 7, 1986
(Doc. No. 24550, 51 FR 40692, 40708).
DATES: This action becomes effective on
November 25, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Good Cause for Immediate Adoption
Without Prior Notice
Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies
to dispense with notice and comment
procedures for rules when the agency
for ‘‘good cause’’ finds that those
procedures are ‘‘impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.’’ Under this section, an agency,
upon finding good cause, may issue a
final rule without seeking comment
prior to the rulemaking.
Section 553(d)(3) of the
Administrative Procedure Act requires
that agencies publish a rule not less
than 30 days before its effective date,
except as otherwise provided by the
agency for good cause found and
published with the rule.
This document is correcting an error
that is in 14 CFR part 133. This
correction will not impose any
additional restrictions on the persons
affected by these regulations.
Furthermore, any additional delay in
making the regulations correct would be
contrary to the public interest.
Accordingly, the FAA finds that (i)
public comment on these standards
prior to promulgation is unnecessary,
and (ii) good cause exists to make this
rule effective in less than 30 days.

Background
On November 7, 1986, the FAA
published a final rule (Doc. No. 24550,
51 FR 40692, 40708) that amended and
updated the operations and
maintenance requirements pertaining to
rotorcraft and established a new Class D
rotorcraft-load combination. The final
rule created a new § 133.35, Carriage of
persons. With the creation of § 133.35,
the occupancy limitations crossreferenced in § 133.49(a) were moved
from § 133.45(a) to § 133.35(a). The
cross-reference in § 133.49(a) was not
amended to reflect this change.
The final rule also amended § 133.45,
Operating limitations, by removing
paragraph (a). This resulted in
paragraphs (b), (c), (d), and (e) to be
redesignated as paragraphs (a), (b), (c),
and (d), respectively. The crossreference in § 133.49(b) was not
amended to reflect these changes. In this
final rule, the FAA failed to update the
regulatory cross-references in
§ 133.49(a) and (b), based on the
changes previously described. This
technical amendment updates the crossreferences in § 133.49(a) and (b), based
on the 1986 final rule.
Technical Amendment
This technical amendment will
correct the noted cross-references
currently in § 133.49(a) and (b). Because
this action results in no substantive
change to part 133, we find good cause
exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make
this technical amendment effective in
less than 30 days and upon its
publication in the Federal Register.

The Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Federal Aviation Administration
amends chapter I of title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations as follows:
PART 133—ROTORCRAFT EXTERNALLOAD OPERATIONS
1. The authority citation for part 133
continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701–
44702.
■
2. Revise § 133.49 to read as follows:
§ 133.49
Markings and placards.
The following markings and placards
must be displayed conspicuously and
must be such that they cannot be easily
erased, disfigured, or obscured:
(a) A placard (displayed in the cockpit
or cabin) stating the class of rotorcraft-
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
load combination for which the
rotorcraft has been approved and the
occupancy limitation prescribed in
§ 133.35(a).
(b) A placard, marking, or instruction
(displayed next to the external-load
attaching means) stating the maximum
external load prescribed as an operating
limitation in § 133.45(b).
Issued under authority of 49 U.S.C. 106(g),

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) publishes this final rule
to amend the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR) to remove nuclear
nonproliferation (NP) Column 2 license
requirements from certain pressure
tubes, pipes, fittings, pipe valves,
pumps, numerically controlled machine
tools, oscilloscopes, and transient
recorders on the Commerce Control List
(CCL). These changes are intended to
revise the EAR controls on these items
by making them more consistent with
the export controls of other countries
that manufacture these items and that,
together with the United States, are
participating countries in the Nuclear
Suppliers Group (NSG). As a result of
the changes made by this rule, some of
these items are no longer listed under an
Export Control Classification Number
(ECCN) on the CCL. However, such
items remain subject to the EAR under
the designation EAR99. This rule also
creates four new ECCNs to maintain
anti-terrorism (AT) controls on certain
affected commodities and related
‘‘software’’ and ‘‘technology.’’ All items
subject to the EAR, regardless of
whether they are listed on the CCL, may
require a license for reasons described
elsewhere in the EAR (e.g., license
requirements based on end-user/end-use

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Good Cause for Immediate Adoption Without Prior Notice
Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency for ``good cause'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without seeking comment prior to the
rulemaking.
Section 553(d)(3) of the Administrative Procedure Act requires that
agencies publish a rule not less than 30 days before its effective
date, except as otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found
and published with the rule.
This document is correcting an error that is in 14 CFR part 133.
This correction will not impose any additional restrictions on the
persons affected by these regulations. Furthermore, any additional
delay in making the regulations correct would be contrary to the public
interest. Accordingly, the FAA finds that (i) public comment on these
standards prior to promulgation is unnecessary, and (ii) good cause
exists to make this rule effective in less than 30 days.
Background
On November 7, 1986, the FAA published a final rule (Doc. No.
24550, 51 FR 40692, 40708) that amended and updated the operations and
maintenance requirements pertaining to rotorcraft and established a new
Class D rotorcraft-load combination. The final rule created a new Sec.
133.35, Carriage of persons. With the creation of Sec. 133.35, the
occupancy limitations cross-referenced in Sec. 133.49(a) were moved
from Sec. 133.45(a) to Sec. 133.35(a). The cross-reference in Sec.
133.49(a) was not amended to reflect this change.
The final rule also amended Sec. 133.45, Operating limitations, by
removing paragraph (a). This resulted in paragraphs (b), (c), (d), and
(e) to be redesignated as paragraphs (a), (b), (c), and (d),
respectively. The cross-reference in Sec. 133.49(b) was not amended to
reflect these changes. In this final rule, the FAA failed to update the
regulatory cross-references in Sec. 133.49(a) and (b), based on the
changes previously described. This technical amendment updates the
cross-references in Sec. 133.49(a) and (b), based on the 1986 final
rule.
Technical Amendment
This technical amendment will correct the noted cross-references
currently in Sec. 133.49(a) and (b). Because this action results in no
substantive change to part 133, we find good cause exists under 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make this technical amendment effective in less
than 30 days and upon its publication in the Federal Register.
