Harmonization of Airworthiness Standards-Fire Extinguishers and Class B and F Cargo Compartments; Correction
AGENCY:
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION:
Final rule; correction.
SUMMARY:
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.
DATES:
This correction is effective on March 2, 2016.
