E6-16622. Additional Types of Child Restraint Systems That May Be Furnished and Used on Aircraft; Corrections

AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

The Federal Aviation Administration published a final rule in the Federal Register on July 14, 2006 (71 FR 40003). The final rule allowed the use of child restraint systems that the FAA approves under the aviation standards of Technical Standard Order C-100b, Child Restraint Systems, or under its certification regulations regarding the approval of materials, parts, processes, and appliances. That final rule contained two non-substantive typographical errors in the rule text of two sections. This document corrects the final regulations by revising these sections.

DATES:

These amendments become effective October 10, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This document corrects two typographical errors in the text of rule language that was published in the Federal Register on July 14, 2006 (71 FR 40003). In that final rule, the FAA inadvertently omitted “ii” in the exception referenced in §§ 125.211(b)(2)(ii)(D) and 135.128(a)(2)(ii)(D).
