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://

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. 

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. 

(2) New seats and seating systems may be 

installed as direct spares for the same part 

number seats or seating systems. 

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. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(l)(1) The Manager, Los Angeles ACO, 

FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs 

for this AD, if requested using the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 

14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your

Amendment of Class D Airspace; 

Corpus Christi, TX 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

airspace within the Corpus Christi, TX, 

area by updating the geographic 

coordinates for Cabaniss Navy Outlying 

Field (NOLF). This action does not 

change the boundaries or operating 

requirements of the airspace. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, August 

25th, 2011. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

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

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. This 

regulation is within the scope of that 

authority as it amends controlled 

airspace at Cabaniss NOLF, Corpus

Amendment of Class E Airspace;

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace for Mosby, MO. 

Decommissioning of the Mosby nondirectional beacon (NDB) at Midwest 

National Air Center Airport, Mosby, 

MO, has made this action necessary to 

enhance the safety and management of 

Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations 

at the airport.

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
