technical changes to a final rule published in the Federal Register on 
May 14, 2009. That final rule amended the FAA's drug and alcohol 
regulations to place them in a new part. In that final rule the FAA 
inadvertently did not include an instruction to amend a cross-reference 
to two appendices.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
published a document in the Federal Register May 14, 2009, in 74 FR 
22649 that amended the regulations governing FAA-required drug and 
alcohol testing requirements. The FAA inadvertently did not include an 
instruction to revise language in Sec.  91.146 to change the reference 
to the drug and alcohol testing program regulation title from the old 
(14 CFR part 121, appendices I and J) to new, 14 CFR part 120. This 
amendment will not impose any additional restrictions on operators 
affected by these regulations.

Technical Amendment

    The technical amendment will further amend part 91 by updating a 
cross-reference in Sec.  91.146(b).
