The rule was a correction to a final rule titled “Integration of Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations; Miscellaneous Amendments Related to Rotorcraft and Airplanes” that was published on November 21, 2024, in the <E T="04">Federal Register</E> at 89 FR 92296. The correction removed the incorrect version of two tables that had been inadvertently duplicated in the regulatory text of the Special Federal Aviation Regulation for powered-lift, and it corrected an incorrect paragraph reference in the Training center instructor eligibility requirements section of the Code of Federal Regulations. The final rule with these corrections became effective on January 21, 2025. On January 20, 2025, the President issued a memorandum titled, “Regulatory Freeze Pending Review,” 90 FR 8249 (Jan. 28, 2025), to direct executive departments and agencies to consider postposing for 60 days the effective date for any rules that had been published in the <E T="04">Federal Register</E> but had not taken effect for the purpose of reviewing any questions of fact, law, and policy that the rules may raise. While not explicitly subject to the President's memorandum, the FAA is providing notice that it will exercise its enforcement discretion and not enforce the provisions of the FAA's final rule titled “Integration of Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations; Miscellaneous Amendments Related to Rotorcraft and Airplanes; Correction” until March 20, 2025, to allow the officials appointed or designated by the President to review the final rule to ensure that it is consistent with the law and Administration policies. <SIG> <DATED>Issued in Washington, DC.</DATED> <NAME>Taneesha Dobyne Marshall,</NAME> Assistant Chief Counsel for Aviation Litigation, Federal Aviation Administration. </SIG> </SUPLINF> <FRDOC>[FR Doc. 2025-03844 Filed 3-10-25; 8:45 am]</FRDOC> </RULE>
