Environmental Impact Statement: Fairfield County and New Haven County, CT, 18454-18455 [05-7232]

Download as PDF 18454 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 68 / Monday, April 11, 2005 / Notices We will consider all communications received on or before the closing date for comments. We may change the proposed policy because of the comments received. Background The proposed policy provides a method of demonstrating compliance with the lumbar load criteria of § 25.562(c)(2). It is based on an FAA funded research project that developed a component test methodology for demonstrating that a replacement bottom cushion would not produce a higher lumbar load than a certificated bottom cushion for a seat certificated to § 25.562(c)(2). The proposed method provides a simplified means of demonstrating compliance with § 25.562(c)(2) and will streamline the seat certification process by reducing the costs and time associated with seat certification. Issued in Renton, Washington, on March 25, 2005. Ali Bahrami, Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service.

Federal Highway Administration Background [Policy Statement No. ANM–115–05–10] Replacing Restraint Systems on Forward and Aft Facing Seats Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Notice of proposed policy; request for comments. AGENCY: The FAA has issued Amendment 25– 64 to provide an increased level of safety to seated occupants. Seat performance, including the restraint system, under dynamic conditions as defined in § 25.562, is an important consideration of this amendment. Replacing a restraint system on a seat certified under § 25.562 requires new dynamic test(s) to be conducted using the actual seat. These dynamic tests can be costly and time-consuming. The FAA conducted research and found an acceptable new method of certifying restraint systems using a rigid seat fixture instead of the actual seat during dynamic tests. This method will significantly reduce the cost and time associated with certifying replacement restraint systems. This policy memorandum presents this new means of compliance. SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces the availability of proposed policy on Replacing Restraint Systems on Forward and Aft Facing Seats. DATES: Send your comments on or before May 11, 2005. ADDRESSES: Address your comments to the individual identified under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
