14 CFR Part 121
[Docket No. FAA-2002-6717; Amendment No. 121-348]
RIN 2120-AI03
Extended Operations (ETOPS) of Multi-Engine Airplanes; Technical
Amendment
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; Technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration is making a minor
amendment to a previously published final rule. That final rule applied
to air carrier, commuter, and on-demand turbine powered multi-engine
airplanes used in passenger-carrying, and some all-cargo, extended-
range operations. This technical amendment corrects an incorrect
citation reference.
DATES: Effective March 15, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The final rule, Extended Operations (ETOPS) of Multi-engine
Airplanes, applied to air carrier (part 121), commuter, and on-demand
(part 135) turbine powered multi-engine airplanes used in passenger-
carrying, extended range operations (January 16, 2007; 72 FR 1808).
All-cargo operations in airplanes with more than two engines of both
part 121 and part 135 were exempted from the majority of this rule. The
rule established regulations governing the design, operation and
maintenance of certain airplanes operated on flights that fly long
distances from an adequate airport. It codified current FAA policy,
industry best practices and recommendations, as well as international
standards designed to ensure long-range flights will continue to
operate safely. To ease the transition for current operators, the rule
included delayed compliance dates for certain ETOPS requirements.
In the final rule Sec. 121.646(b)(1)(i)(B) incorrectly references
Sec. 121.133. The citation should read Sec. 121.333.
Technical Amendment
This technical amendment merely corrects an incorrect cross-
reference in Sec. 121.646. No other changes are made to the section.
Justification for Immediate Adoption
Because this action corrects a cross-reference, the FAA finds that
notice and public comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary. For the
same reason, the FAA finds that good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)
for making this rule effective upon publication.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 121
Air carriers, Aircraft, Airmen, Alcohol abuse, Aviation safety,
Charter flights, Drug abuse, Drug testing, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Safety, and Transportation.
