Policy Clarifying Definition of “Actively Engaged” for Purposes of Inspector Authorization; Correction

This action corrects the description of the appeals process for applicants or holders of an Inspection Authorization (IA) set forth in a prior Federal Register notice of policy. On August 4, 2011, the Federal Aviation Administration published a document in the Federal Register concerning a notice of policy to clarify the definition of "Actively Engaged" for the purposes of applying for or renewing an IA. That notification contained incorrect information regarding the appeals process for the denial of an IA application for initial issuance or renewal.
