Narrative:
Worked aircraft in question and accomplished bite check of #1 RA and signed off item which I realized was a lower WX minimum performance item but failed to realize I was not qualified on a B767 fleet aircraft. Will no longer sign off lower WX minimum performance on B767 and put in request for qualification of B767. I did not realize I was not qualified on a B767 aircraft lower WX minimum performance status.
