Well it only took 18 months, but I got my change to FAR 1.1 approved and issued;
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
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.,

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 § 1.1. The
language in § 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

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

‘‘Night’’ to read as follows:
