Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 106 / Thursday, June 2, 2011 / Rules and Regulations noted in the test plan, noting the general condition of the seat, noting revisions/ modifications that have been made to the seat (typically noted on modification placards), and verifying the date of manufacture. Note 10: Regarding 14 CFR 25.853(c), in order to account for unknown production non-conformities, test articles should be constructed from in-service cushions. The guidance in FAA AC 25.853–1 (https:// rgl.faa.gov/ Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/ rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/0/ 7f0b93c640a3ae48862569d100732cfe/$FILE/ ATT9758X/AC25.853-1.pdf) is applicable. However, it may also be acceptable to test brand new test specimens, provided that it is shown that the in-service cushions consist of foams/covers which were supplied to Koito and marked by a different production organization approved in the FAA and/or EASA system. Test reports issued by any qualified design organization acceptable to the FAA will be acceptable; after May 23, 2011, any tests performed in the Koito seat cushion oil burner test facility, under JCAB supervision, will be acceptable. An independent approval of the seat cushion, such as a TSO–C72 (individual floatation device) may be sufficient to show compliance. jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES Parts Installation: Seats and Seating Systems (i) As of the effective date of this AD, no person may install on any airplane any Koito Industries, Ltd., seat and seating system having any model number identified in table 1 of this AD that are approved under TSO– C39b, TSO–C39c, or TSO–C127a; unless it is shown to meet applicable airworthiness requirements, except as specified in paragraphs (i)(1), (i)(2), and (i)(3) of this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by adjusting the geographic coordinates, within Class D airspace, of the Cabaniss NOLF, Corpus Christi, TX, to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database. This is an administrative change and does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements of the airspace, therefore, notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
Part 71 by adjusting the geographic coordinates, within Class D 
airspace, of the Cabaniss NOLF, Corpus Christi, TX, to coincide with 
the FAAs aeronautical database. This is an administrative change and 
does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements of 
the airspace, therefore, notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b) are unnecessary.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory 
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' 
under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation 
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter 
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is 
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, section 106, describes 
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation 
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority. 
This rulemaking is

subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with 
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to

regulation is within the scope of that authority as it amends
