SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Correction to 14 CFR 250.5b3: In the final rule published in the Federal Register of Wednesday, January 13, 2021 86 FR 2534, there was an error in a dollar figure in 250.5b3. This dollar figure was $1,350 prior to April 13, 2021, and the January 13, 2021 final rule revised this figure according the formula set forth in 14 CFR 250.5e and applicable inflation indexes. The January 13, 2021 final rule inadvertently did not revise this dollar figure in the rule text. The figuire should be $1,550
instead of $1,350.
Corrections to 14 CFR 250.10: 14 CFR
250.10 required certain air carriers to submit, on a quarterly basis, the information related to passengers denied confirmed space as specified in the Departments Bureau of Transportation Statistics BTS Form 251. This rule makes several technical corrections to the rule text of 250.10 to reflect the recent revisions to BTS Form titled Report of Passengers Denied Confirmed Space. 1 Specifically, the form, previously named Form 251, is now named Form 250. Accordingly, this rule is changing all the references to Form 251 in 250.10 to Form 250. In addition, the form previously included reporting field Total Boardings on Line 7. On the revised form, the Total Boardings field is now on Line 6. This rule changes the reference of Total Boardings in Line 7 in 250.10 to Line 6.
Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act APA 5 U.S.C. 553
provides that when an agency, for good cause, finds that notice and public procedure thereon are impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a final rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment 5
U.S.C. 553b3B. The Department has determined that there is good cause to issue these corrections to section 250.10 without notice and an opportunity for public comment because such notice and comment would be unnecessary. The technical changes made in this rule merely conform our regulations to reflect the changes to Form 250.
