The FAA is correcting a final rule published on December 16, 2016. In that final rule, which becomes effective on January 17, 2017, the FAA will allow air carriers to seek a deviation from the flight simulation training device (FSTD) requirements for related aircraft proficiency checks. As a result, that rule will eliminate an inconsistency that currently permits carriers that have obtained FAA approval to modify the FSTD requirements for related aircraft differences training, but not for corresponding proficiency checks. The FAA inadvertently listed an incorrect Amendment Number for that final rule. This document corrects that error.

ACTION: Final rule; Correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a final rule published on December 16, 
2016. In that final rule, which becomes effective on January 17, 2017, 
the FAA will allow air carriers to seek a deviation from the flight 
simulation training device (FSTD) requirements for related aircraft 
proficiency checks. As a result, that rule will eliminate an 
inconsistency that currently permits carriers that have obtained FAA 
approval to modify the FSTD requirements for related aircraft 
differences training, but not for corresponding proficiency checks. The 
FAA inadvertently listed an incorrect Amendment Number for that final 
rule. This document corrects that error.

DATES: Effective January 17, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On December 16, 2016, the FAA published a final rule entitled, 
``Qualification, Service, and Use of Crewmembers and Aircraft 
Dispatchers; Related Aircraft Amendment.'' 81 FR 90979. In that final 
rule, effective January 17, 2017, the FAA inadvertently listed the 
incorrect Amendment Number for part 121 in the header information of 
the final rule as 121-397. The correct amendment number is 121-377.

Correction

    In the final rule, FR Doc. 2016-30211, published on December 16, 
2016, at 81 FR 90979 make the following correction:
    1. On page 90979 in the heading of the final rule, revise ``Amdt. 
No. 121-397'' to read as ``121-377''.
