14 CFR Part 1
[Docket No. FAA-2012-1043; Amdt. Nos. 1-1]
Night Definition; Technical Amendment
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting the title of the publication ``American
Air Almanac'' to its current title ``Air Almanac''. This document
corrects this minor technical error in the codified regulations.
DATES: Effective October 12, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For technical questions concerning
this action, contact Ida M. Klepper, Airmen and Airspace Rules
Division, Office of Rulemaking, ARM-100, Federal Aviation
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;
telephone: 202-267-9677; email: Ida.Klepper@faa.gov.
Background
The former ``American Air Almanac'' was created to meet the general
requirements for air navigation in the United Kingdom, the United
States, and Canada. In 14 CFR 1.1 the definition of night refers to
twilight times as published in the ``American Air Almanac''. The
``American Air Almanac'' publication ceased in 1953 and is currently
called the ``Air Almanac''. This technical amendment corrects the title
of the publication.
Technical Amendment
This technical amendment makes one revision to the codified text
Sec. 1.1. The language in Sec. 1.1incorrectly uses the title
``American Air Almanac'' when it should read ``Air Almanac''.
Because the change in this technical amendment results in no
substantive change, we find good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)
to make the amendment effective in less than 30 days.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 1
Air transportation.
The Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration amends chapter I of title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations as follows:
PART 1--DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
0
1. The authority citation for part 1 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
0
2. In Sec. 1.1, revise the definition of ``Night'' to read as follows:
Sec. 1.1 General definitions.
* * * * *
Night means the time between the end of evening civil twilight and
the beginning of morning civil twilight, as published in the Air
Almanac, converted to local time.
