The FAA is correcting a final rule published on February 16, 2016. In that rule, the FAA amended certain airworthiness regulations for transport category airplanes by upgrading fire safety standards for Class B cargo compartments; establishing fire safety standards for a new type of cargo compartment, Class F; and updating related standards for fire extinguishers. This amendment eliminated certain regulatory differences between the airworthiness standards of the FAA and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), without affecting current industry design practices. However, in that document, the amendment number for the final rule was incorrect, and this document now posts the correct amendment number.

Class B cargo compartments; establishing fire safety standards for a 
new type of cargo compartment, Class F; and updating related standards 
for fire extinguishers. This amendment eliminated certain regulatory 
differences between the airworthiness standards of the FAA and the 
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), without affecting current

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 16, 2016 (81 FR 7698), the FAA published a final rule 
entitled, ``Harmonization of Airworthiness Standards--Fire 
Extinguishers and Class B and F Cargo Compartments'' (81 FR 7698).
    This rule amended certain airworthiness regulations for transport 
category airplanes by upgrading fire safety standards for Class B cargo 
compartments; establishing fire safety standards for a new type of 
cargo compartment, Class F; and updating

[[Page 10762]]

related standards for fire extinguishers. The rule was based on 
recommendations from the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) 
and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), and the changes 
addressed designs for which airworthiness directives (ADs) have been 
issued by both the FAA and the French civil aviation authority, 
Direction G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de l'Aviation Civile (DGAC). It 
eliminated certain regulatory differences between the airworthiness 
standards of the FAA and EASA, without affecting current industry 
design practices. These changes ensured an acceptable level of safety 
for these types of cargo compartments by standardizing certain 
requirements and procedures.
    However, the rule was published with an incorrect amendment number, 
``25-141,'' which is the same amendment number as the rule entitled 
``Harmonization of Airworthiness Standards--Gust and Maneuver Load 
Requirements'' (79 FR 73462), published on December 11, 2014. The 
correct amendment number for this rule should be ``25-142.''
