SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 27, 2024, the FAA issued a final
rule titled ``Drug and Alcohol Testing of Certificated Repair Station
Employees Located Outside of the United States; Correction'' that was
published in the Federal Register at 89 FR 105447. This final rule
became effective on January 17, 2025. The final rule corrected the
membership names of two commenters who provided comments to the FAA's
final rule titled ``Drug and Alcohol Testing of Certificated Repair
Station Employees Located Outside of the United States'' that was
published on December 18, 2024, in the Federal Register at 89 FR
103416.
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
Federal Register 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 ``Drug and
Alcohol Testing of Certificated Repair Station Employees Located
Outside of the United States; 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.
