Was that supposed to be .52 COR / 275 lbs compression?

Yes, that is a typo; the ball would be .520 and compression of 275 pounds or less.

Also, Mike's paraphrase of the rule proposal isn't correct. The rule change as proposed right now is to add that ball as an approved ball, in addition to those already approved at certain levels. This year's proposal doesn't YET change any levels to that ball, it simply makes it an approved ASA ball, and sets up the groundwork for the manufacturers to (consider to) begin mass production.

For those that always need to know the CV of those making the statements, I am actually at the National Council meeting (as is Mike), and serve on the Playing Rules Committee.
