Limited Extension of Relief for Certain Persons and Operations 
During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Public Health Emergency

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a final rule published on June 29, 2020 
in which the FAA amended regulatory relief originally provided in the 
Relief for Certain Persons and Operations during the Coronavirus 
Disease 2019 (COVID-19) final rule. The FAA inadvertently listed 
incorrect amendment numbers for the final rule. This document corrects 
that error.

DATES: Effective August 5, 2020 through March 31, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Good Cause for Adoption Without Prior Notice

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and 
comment procedures for rules when the agency for ``good cause'' finds 
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to 
the public interest.'' In addition, section 553(d) of the APA requires 
that agencies publish a rule not less than 30 days before its effective 
date, except a substantive rule that relieves a restriction or ``as 
otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found and published 
with the rule.'' 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1) and (3).
    Because this action merely makes a correction to the amendment 
number of a published final rule, 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 in less than 30 days.

Background

    On June 29, 2020, the FAA published the Limited Extension of Relief 
for Certain Persons and Operations during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 
(COVID-19) Public Health Emergency final rule (85 FR 38763). After that 
rule was published, the FAA discovered a minor error with the amendment 
numbers listed in heading of the final rule that required correction. 
The final rule listed the amendment numbers as Amdt. No(s). 21-102, 61-
145, 63-43, 65-60, 91-357, 107-3, 125-69, and 141-21.

Correction

    In the final rule, FR Doc. 2020-13960, published on June 29, 2020, 
at 85 FR 38763 make the following correction:
    1. On page 38763 in the heading of the final rule, revise ``Amdt. 
No(s). 21-102, 61-145, 63-43, 65-60, 91-357, 107-3, 125-69, and 141-
21'' to read ``1-103, 61-146, 63-44, 65-61, 91-358, 107-4, 125-70, and 
141-22''.
    Issued under authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 106(g), 
44701(a), and Sec. 206 of Public Law 111-216, 124 Stat. 2348 (49 U.S.C. 
44701 note) in Washington, DC, on July 17, 2020.
