The FAA's summary their words, unchanged
These special conditions are issued for Boeing Model 767-200, -300, and -300F series airplanes. These airplanes as modified by ABX Air Inc. will have a novel or unusual design feature associated with a satellite communication system which uses lithium ion battery technology. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
