Abstract
This final rule amends the certification test requirements for burners used on manned free balloons. The current test requirements do not test the burner's most critical operating conditions. This amendment will increase the current level of safety by requiring more realistic tests and cut the fuel costs to balloon manufacturers seeking certification.
