SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 9, 2015, the FAA published a final rule technical 
amendment entitled, ``Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-
B) Out Performance Requirements To Support Air Traffic Control (ATC) 
Service; Technical Amendment.'' In that final rule, which became 
effective February 9, 2015, the FAA amended 14 CFR part 91. The FAA 
inadvertently listed the incorrect Amendment Number for part 91 in the 
header information of the final rule as 91-334. The correct amendment 
number is 91-336.

Correction

    In the final rule, FR Doc. 2015-02579, published on February 9, 
2015, at 80 FR 6899 make the following correction:
    1. On page 6899 in the heading of the final rule, revise ``Amdt. 
No. 91-334'' to read ``91-336''.

    Issued in Washington, DC, under the authority provided by 49 
U.S.C. 106(f), on February 26, 2015.
