The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is correcting its drug and alcohol testing regulations published on May 14, 2009. The FAA inadvertently excluded necessary wording within the text of two separate definitions; added wording to the sections describing refusals to submit to drug or alcohol tests; directed readers to an incorrect subpart for a referenced definition; omitted a cross reference to a list of applicable regulations; and added wording when describing an operator. This rule corrects those inadvertent errors and includes other minor editorial corrections. These corrections will not impose any additional requirements on operators affected by these regulations.
On May 14, 2009, we published a final rule (74 FR 22649) that amended the regulations governing FAA-required drug and alcohol testing requirements. The final rule was necessary to gather all of the existing drug and alcohol requirements into one part because the regulations governing FAA-required drug and alcohol testing requirements were scattered throughout Chapter I of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations. In that final rule in § 120.7 we omitted the words “and alcohol” from the definitions for “DOT agency” and “Employer.” In §§ 120.13 and 120.15, we inadvertently included the word “authorization.” In §§ 120.17 and 120.33, we used the term “subpart” instead of “part” when directing readers to the definition of prohibited drugs. In §§ 120.103 and 120.211, we omitted the reference to § 135.1 from the list of applicable regulations. In § 120.117, we included the word “sightseeing” when describing an operator as defined in § 91.147 and omitted mailing instructions for § 91.147 operators. In § 120.119, we made reference to appendix H of 49 CFR part 40 as subpart H. In § 120.225, we omitted mailing instructions for § 91.147 operators. In the instruction for a change to 14 CFR part 135, we incorrectly listed a cross-reference to § 120.39 as § 135.39. This document corrects these errors.
Accordingly, Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 120 and 135 are amended as follows:
2. Revise paragraphs (g) and (i) of § 120.7 to read as follows:
3. Revise paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of § 120.13 to read as follows:

8. Revise paragraphs (a)(2) and (e)(2) of § 120.117 to read as follows:

(2) Send this information in the form and manner prescribed by the Administrator, in duplicate to the appropriate address below:

(ii) For all others: The Federal Aviation Administration, Office of Aerospace Medicine, Drug Abatement Division (AAM-800), 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591.
9. Revise paragraph (b) of § 120.119 to read as follows:
(b) As an employer, you must use the Management Information System (MIS) form and instructions as required by 49 CFR part 40 (at 49 CFR 40.26 and appendix H to 49 CFR part 40). You may also use the electronic version of the MIS form provided by DOT. The Administrator may designate means (e.g., electronic program transmitted via the Internet) other than hard-copy, for MIS form submission. For information on where to submit MIS forms and for the electronic version of the form, see: http://www.faa.gov/​about/​office_​org/​headquarters_​offices/​avs/​offices/​aam/​drug_​alcohol.
10. Add paragraph (b)(5) to § 120.211 to read as follows:
(5) § 135.1—Applicability
11. Revise paragraph (e)(2) of § 120.225 to read as follows:
