#  Passenger-carrying flights for the benefit of a charitable, nonprofit, or community event.

**AGENCY:**

Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

**ACTION:**

Final rule; technical amendment.

**SUMMARY:**

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is making minor 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.

**DATES: 
                        Effective Dates:**

Effective on July 13, 2009.

**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 § 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 § 91.146(b).

**List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 91**

Aircraft, Airmen, Aviation safety.

**14 CFR Part 91**

Accordingly, Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 91 is amended as follows:
