BILLING CODE 3410-02-P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 121 [Docket No.: FAA-2013-0485; Amdt. No. 121-376B] RIN 2120-AJ94 Revisions to Operational Requirements for the Use of Enhanced Flight Vision Systems

(EFVS)and to Pilot Compartment View Requirements for Vision Systems; Correcting Amendment Correction In rule document 2018-00225 appearing on pages 1186-1188 in the issue of Wednesday, January 10, 2018, make the following correction: Appendix F to Part 121 On page 1187, beginning in the third column, Appendix F to Part 121 should read as follows: Appendix F to Part 121—Proficiency Check Requirements Maneuvers/Procedures Required Simulated Instrument Conditions Inflight Permitted Visual Simulator Nonvisual Simulator Training Device Waiver Provisions of § 121.441(d) * * * * * * * III. Instrument procedures:

(a)Area departure and area arrival. During each of these maneuvers the applicant must— B ---- ---- B ---- B*

(1)Adhere to actual or simulated ATC clearances (including assigned radials); and ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----

(2)Properly use available navigation facilities. ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Either area arrival or area departure, but not both, may be waived under § 121.441(d).

(b)Holding. This maneuver includes entering, maintaining, and leaving holding patterns. It may be performed in connection with either area departure or area arrival. B ---- ---- B ---- B

(c)ILS and other instrument approaches. There must be the following:

(1)At least one normal ILS approach. B ---- B ---- ---- ----

(2)At least one manually controlled ILS approach with a simulated failure of one powerplant. The simulated failure should occur before initiating the final approach course and must continue to touchdown or through the missed approach procedure. B ---- ---- ---- ---- ----

(3)At least one nonprecision approach procedure that is representative of the non-precision approach procedures that the certificate holder is likely to use. B ---- B ---- ---- ----

(4)Demonstration of at least one nonprecision approach procedure on a letdown aid other than the approach procedure performed under subparagraph

(3)of this paragraph that the certificate holder is approved to use. B ---- ---- ---- B ----

(5)For each type of EFVS operation the certificate holder is authorized to conduct, at least one instrument approach must be made using an EFVS. B B* Each instrument approach must be performed according to any procedures and limitations approved for the approach facility used. The instrument approach begins when the airplane is over the initial approach fix for the approach procedure being used (or turned over to the final approach controller in the case of a GCA approach) and ends when the airplane touches down on the runway or when transition to a missed approach configuration is completed. Instrument conditions need not be simulated below 100' above touchdown zone elevation.

(d)Circling approaches. If the certificate holder is approved for circling minimums below 1000-3, at least one circling approach must be made under the following conditions. ---- ---- B* ---- ---- B*

(1)The portion of the approach to the authorized minimum circling approach altitude must be made under simulated instrument conditions. B ---- ---- ---- ---- ----

(2)The approach must be made to the authorized minimum circling approach attitude followed by a change in heading and the necessary maneuvering by visual reference to maintain a flight path that permits a normal landing on a runway at least 90[degrees] from the final approach course of the simulated instrument portion of the approach. ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----

(3)The circling approach must be performed without excessive maneuvering, and without exceeding the normal operating limits of the airplane. The angle of bank should not exceed 30[degrees] ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- If local conditions beyond the control of the pilot prohibit the maneuver or prevent it from being performed as required, it may be waived as provided in § 121.441(d): Provided, however, that the maneuver may not be waived under this provision for two successive proficiency checks. The circling approach maneuver is not required for a second-in-command if the certificate holder's manual prohibits a second-in-command from performing a circling approach in operations under this part.

(e)Missed Approach ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----

(1)Each pilot must perform at least one missed approach from an ILS approach. ---- ---- B* ---- ---- ----

(2)Each pilot in command must perform at least one additional missed approach. ---- ---- P* ---- ---- ---- A complete approved missed approach procedure must be accomplished at least once. At the discretion of the person conducting a check a simulated powerplant failure may be required during any of the missed approaches. These maneuvers may be performed either independently or in conjunction with maneuvers required under Sections III or V of this appendix. At least one missed approach must be performed in flight. * * * * * * * [FR Doc.

ACTION: Final rule; confirmation of effective date. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is confirming the effective date of December 8, 2017, for the final rule that appeared in the **Federal Register** of November 7, 2017, and that amended the color additive regulations to provide for the safe use of calcium carbonate to color hard and soft candy, mints, and in inks used on the surface of chewing gum. DATES: Effective date of final rule published in the **Federal Register** of November 7, 2017 (82 FR 51554) confirmed: December 8, 2017. ADDRESSES: For access to the docket to read background documents or comments received, go to *https://www.regulations.gov* and insert the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this final rule into the “Search” box and follow the prompts, and/or go to the Dockets Management Staff, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judith Kidwell, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Food and Drug Administration, 5001 Campus Dr., College Park, MD 20740, 240-402-1071. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the **Federal Register** of November 7, 2017 (82 FR 51554), we amended the color additive regulations to add § 73.70, “Calcium carbonate,” (21 CFR 73.70) to provide for the safe use of calcium carbonate to color soft and hard candies and mints, and in inks used on the surface of chewing gum, except that it may not be used to color chocolate for which standards of identity have been issued under section 401 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 341), unless added color is authorized by such standards. We gave interested persons until December 7, 2017, to file objections or requests for a hearing. We explained that to file an objection, among other things, persons must specify with particularity the provision(s) to which they object. We also explained that if a person who properly submits an objection wants a hearing, he or she must specifically request a hearing and that failure to do so will constitute a waiver of the right to a hearing (82 FR 51554 at 51557). We received two comments regarding our decision to amend the color additive regulations to provide for the safe use of calcium carbonate to color soft and hard candies and mints, and in inks used on the surface of chewing gum. Neither comment, however, specified with particularity the provision(s) of the regulation to which they objected nor specifically requested a hearing. Therefore, we find that the effective date of the final rule that published in the **Federal Register** of November 7, 2017, should be confirmed. List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 73 Color additives, Cosmetics, Drugs, Foods, Medical devices. Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321, 341, 342, 343, 348, 351, 352, 355, 361, 362, 371, 379e) and under authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, we are giving notice that no objections or requests for a hearing were filed in response to the November 7, 2017, final rule. Accordingly, the amendments issued thereby became effective December 8, 2017. Dated: January 24, 2018. Leslie Kux, Associate Commissioner for Policy. [FR Doc. 2018-01912 Filed 1-30-18; 8:45 am]
