Background The proposed policy will streamline the seat certification process by providing Federal Aviation Administration certification policy on using surrogate test articles in lieu of actual production seatback mounted accessories ( *e.g.,* video monitor, telephone) during blunt trauma tests in accordance with §§ 25.562(c)(5) and 25.785(b) and (d). The policy also provides acceptable methods of demonstrating the sharp, inurious edges would not be formed by a head impact against the actual production accessory since this evaluation would not be accomplished from a test that uses a surrogate part. Issued in Renton, Washington, on Jun. 23, 2003. Ali Bahrami, Acting Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service. [FR Doc. 03-17115 Filed 7-7-03; 8:45 am]
