Date:
Monday, June 3, 2013

and the Airline Flight Crew Technical Corrections Act, such as the expansion of qualifying exigency leave to families
of members of the Regular Armed Forces and the special eligibility hours of service requirement for flight crew employees,
were effective as of the enactment date of those statutes. 77 FR 8962 (Feb. 15, 2012).
