certification of the airplane, which is 

imminent, the FAA has determined that 

prior public notice and comment are 

unnecessary and impracticable, and 

good cause exists for adopting these 

special conditions upon issuance. The 

FAA is requesting comments to allow 

interested persons to submit views that 

may not have been submitted in 

response to the prior opportunities for 

comment described above. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 23 

Aircraft, Aviation safety, Signs and 

symbols. 

Citation 

The authority citation for these 

special conditions is as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113 and 

44701; 14 CFR 21.16 and 21.101; and 14 CFR 

11.38 and 11.19. 

The Special Conditions 

The minimum acceptable standards 

for dynamic seat certification of the 

belted lavatory seat are as follows: 

(a) Existing Criteria. As referenced by 

§ 23.785(b), all injury protection criteria 

of §§ 23.562(c)(1) through (c)(7) apply to 

the occupants of the side-facing seats. 

Head injury criteria (HIC) assessments 

are only required for head contact with 

the seat and/or adjacent structures. 

(b) Body-to-wall/furnishing contact. 

The seat must be installed aft of a 

structure such as an interior wall or 

furnishing that will contact the pelvis, 

upper arm, chest, or head of an 

occupant seated next to the structure. A 

conservative representation of the 

structure and its stiffness must be 

included in the tests. It is required that 

the contact surface of this structure 

must be covered with at least two inches 

of energy absorbing protective padding 

(foam or equivalent), such as Ensolite. 

(c) Thoracic Trauma. Testing with a 

Side Impact Dummy (SID), as defined 

by 49 CFR part 572, Subpart F, or its 

equivalent, must be performed in order 

to establish Thoracic Trauma Index 

(TTI) injury criteria. TTI acquired with 

the SID must be less than 85, as defined 

in 49 CFR part 572, Subpart F. SID TTI 

data must be processed as defined in 

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 

(FMVSS) Part 571.214, section S6.13.5. 

Rational analysis, comparing an 

installation with another installation 

where TTI data were acquired and 

found acceptable, may also be viable. 

(d) Pelvis. Pelvic lateral acceleration 

must not exceed 130g. Pelvic 

acceleration data must be processed as 

defined in FMVSS Part 571.214, section 

S6.13.5. 

(e) Shoulder Strap Loads. Where 

upper torso straps (shoulder straps) are 

used for occupants, tension loads in 

individual straps must not exceed 1,750 

pounds. If dual straps are used for 

restraining the upper torso, the total 

strap tension loads must not exceed 

2,000 pounds. 

(f) Compression Loads. The 

compression load measured between the 

pelvis and the lumbar spine of the ATD 

may not exceed 1,500 pounds. 

(g) Emergency Evacuation. When 

occupied, the lavatory door must be 

latched open for takeoff and landing and 

must remain latched under the 

§ 23.561(b) loads. The airplane 

configuration must meet the emergency 

evaluation requirements of its 

certification basis with the seat 

occupied. 

(h) Lavatory Door Placard. A placard 

specifying the lavatory door must be 

latched open for takeoff and landing 

when occupied must be displayed on 

the outside of the door. 

(i) Test Requirements in § 23.562 

dynamic loads. The tests in § 23.562(a), 

(b) and (c) must be conducted on the 

lavatory seat. Floor deformation is 

required except for a seat that is 

cantilevered to the bulkhead. 

The following are the agreed to 

methods of compliance and testing 

requirements: 

General Test Guidelines 

(a) One longitudinal test with the SID 

ATD or its equivalent, undeformed 

floor, no yaw, and with all lateral 

structural supports (armrests/walls) will 

be accomplished. 

—Pass/fail injury assessments: TTI and 

pelvic acceleration. 

(b) One longitudinal test with the 

Hybrid II ATD, deformed floor, with 10 

degrees yaw, and with all lateral 

structural supports (armrests/walls) will 

be accomplished. 

—Pass/fail injury assessments: HIC and 

upper torso restraint load, restraint 

system retention and pelvic 

acceleration. 

(c) Vertical (15 G’s) test is to be 

conducted with modified Hybrid II 

ATDs with existing pass/fail criteria. 

(d) The ATD can be tethered for the 

floor deformation test. 

(e) The seatbelt is not required to have 

a TSO Authorization but will need to 

comply with the TSO–C22g Minimum 

Performance Standards (MPS).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On June 17, 2011, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to establish Class 

E airspace at Copperhill, TN (76 FR 

35370) Docket No. FAA–2011–0402. 

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 amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

establishes the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Copperhill, TN to provide 

the controlled airspace required to 


jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 55233 

accommodate the new Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS) Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures developed for Martin 

Campbell Field Airport. This action is 

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, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. It, therefore, (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 United States Code. 

Subtitle I, 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. This regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

establishes controlled airspace at Martin 

Campbell Field Airport, Copperhill, TN.
