After publication, FAA discovered that it inadvertently: • Included 49 U.S.C. 106(g) in the authority section for Parts 43 and 45 in amendatory instructions numbers 27 and 30. • Excluded a mention of (c)(21) in amendatory instruction number 46. • Excluded a mention of introductory text in amendatory instruction number 53. • Referenced “dection” rather than “section” in the first two column headers of Table 5. This document makes those corrections. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Correction</HD> In FR Doc. 2023-1377, beginning on page 35211, in the <E T="04">Federal Register</E> of July 24, 2025, make the following corrections: <REGTEXT TITLE="14" PART="43"> 1.
