Alternatively, it must be shown that such deployment is not hazardous to the occupant and will provide the required protection. 4. It must be shown that the inflatable restraint system is not susceptible to inadvertent deployment as a result of wear and tear or the inertial loads resulting from in-flight or ground maneuvers (including gusts and hard landings) that are likely to be experienced in service. 5. It must be extremely improbable for an inadvertent deployment of the restraint system to occur, or an inadvertent deployment must not impede the pilot’s ability to maintain control of the airplane or cause an unsafe condition (or hazard to the airplane). In addition, a deployed inflatable restraint must be at least as strong as a Technical Standard Order (C114) certificated belt and shoulder harness. 6. It must be shown that deployment of the inflatable restraint system is not hazardous to the occupant or will not result in injuries that could impede rapid egress. This assessment should include occupants whose restraint is loosely fastened. 7. It must be shown that an inadvertent deployment that could cause injury to a standing or sitting person is improbable. In addition, the restraint must also provide suitable visual warnings that would alert rescue personnel to the presence of an inflatable restraint system. 8. It must be shown that the inflatable restraint will not impede rapid egress of the occupants 10 seconds after its deployment. 9. To comply with HIRF and lightning requirements, the inflatable restraint system is considered a critical system since its deployment could have a hazardous effect on the airplane. 10. It must be shown that the inflatable restraints will not release hazardous quantities of gas or particulate matter into the cabin. 11. The inflatable restraint system installation must be protected from the effects of fire such that no hazard to occupants will result. 12. There must be a means to verify the integrity of the inflatable restraint activation system before each flight or it must be demonstrated to reliably operate between inspection intervals. 13. A life limit must be established for appropriate system components. 14. Qualification testing of the internal firing mechanism must be performed at vibration levels appropriate for a general aviation airplane.

program,'' when we should have referred to an ``Alcohol Misuse 
Prevention Program.''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 15, 2007 (72 FR 12082), we published a technical amendment 
that updated several references in the FAA's drug and alcohol testing 
regulations in title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), 
part 121, appendices I and J. The technical amendment was necessary 
because amendments in the National Air Tour Safety Standards final rule 
(72 FR 6884; Feb. 13, 2007) redefined terms used in the drug and 
alcohol testing regulations.
    In the technical amendment, we changed the language in several 
charts in part 121, appendix J. When we changed the language in section 
VII.B.3.b., we inadvertently referred to an ``antidrug program,'' when 
we should have referred to an ``Alcohol Misuse Prevention Program.'' 
Appendix J applies to alcohol testing programs, not drug testing 
programs.
