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 (http:// rgl.faa.gov/ Regulatory

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.

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.

(1) Seats and seating systems may be removed from service and re-installed on airplanes operated by the same operator.

Note 11: A ‘‘ direct’’ spare has the same part number of the part it replaces.

(3) Seats and seating systems installed as direct spares are subject to the applicable requirements and compliance times specified in this AD.

Parts Installation: Installation and Rearrangement

(j) Installation of seats and seating systems other than those installed as direct spares, as specified in paragraph (i) of this AD, is considered a new installation that needs approval and must comply with all regulations, except that re-arrangement of the existing installed seats on an airplane is acceptable following the same installation instructions and limitations as the original certification ( e.g., if the original limitations allowed 32 ′′ to 34 ′′ pitch, the new layout must be pitched within that range).
Parts Installation: Components of Seats and Seating Systems

(k) As of the effective date of this AD, no person may install on any airplane any component of any seat or seating system having any model number identified in table 1 of this AD that is approved under TSO– C39b, TSO–C39c, or TSO–C127a, unless the component is shown to meet the applicable airworthiness requirements; except as specified in paragraphs (k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(3) of this AD.

(1) Components specified in paragraph (g)(4) of this AD may be removed from service and re-installed on airplanes operated by the same operator.

(2) New components may be installed as direct spares for the same part number components.

(3) Components specified in paragraph (g)(4) of this AD that are installed as direct spares are subject to the applicable requirements and compliance times specified in paragraph (g)(4) of this AD.

**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

promulgated under the authority described in subtitle VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  History

On January 10, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace for Mosby, MO, reconfiguring controlled airspace at Midwest National Air Center Airport (76 FR 1377) Docket No. FAA–2010–0608. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for the Mosby, MO area. Decommissioning of the Mosby NDB and cancellation of the NDB approach at Midwest National Air Center Airport has made this action necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.

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 promulgated under the authority described in subtitle VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace.
