Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 136 / Wednesday, July 16, 2014 / Rules and Regulations guide should be sent to Jeffrey Smutny at the previously mentioned address in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. After consideration of all relevant matters presented, including the information and recommendation submitted by the committee and other available information, it is hereby found that this rule, as hereinafter set forth, will tend to effectuate the declared policy of the Act. It is further found that good cause exists for not postponing the effective date of this rule until 30 days after publication in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 553) because handlers are already aware of the rule, which was recommended at a public meeting. Further, the new crop year begins on August 1, and the committee needs time to institute the changes. In addition, a 60-day comment period was provided for in the proposed rule. (c) In addition to the interest charge specified in paragraph (b) of this section, the committee shall impose a late payment charge on any handler whose payment has not been received in the committee’s office, or the envelope containing the payment legibly postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service, within 60 days of the invoice date. The late payment charge shall be 10 percent of the unpaid balance. Dated: July 10, 2014. Rex A. Barnes, Associate Administrator, Agricultural Marketing Service.

ACTION: Correcting amendments. AGENCY: I. Background On April 21, 2014, DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 41417 Energy published a test procedure final rule in the Federal Register titled, ‘‘Test Procedures for Refrigerators, Refrigerator-Freezers, and Freezers’’ (‘‘April 2014 final rule’’). 79 FR 22320. Since the publication of that final rule, it has come to DOE’s attention that, due to a technical oversight, certain portions of the regulatory text adopted in the April 2014 final rule for appendix A to subpart B of 10 CFR part 430 (Appendix A) contained erroneous references to AS/NZS 4474.1:2007, Performance of Household Electrical Appliances— Refrigerating Appliances; Part 1: Energy Consumption and Performance, Second edition, published August 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference at § 430.3. Specifically, several references to this standard in Appendix A are incorrectly listed as ‘‘AZ/NZS 44474.1:2007.’’ The text of § 430.3 correctly references this incorporated standard. DOE has also become aware that the text adopted in the April 2014 final rule for appendix B to subpart B of 10 CFR part 430 (Appendix B) contains an error in a formula in section 5.2.1.3, in that the published version is missing the ‘‘K’’ adjustment factor present in the other formulas in section 5.2 of the test procedure. II. Need for Correction As published, the adopted test procedure text may result in confusion due to the incorrect reference in Appendix A and the incorrect formula in Appendix B. Because this final rule would simply correct errors in the text without making substantive changes to the test procedures, the changes addressed in this document are technical in nature. Accordingly, DOE finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to not issue a separate notice to solicit public comment on the changes contained in this document. Issuing a separate notice to solicit public comment would be impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest. III. Procedural Requirements DOE has concluded that the determinations made pursuant to the various procedural requirements applicable to the April 21, 2014 test procedure final rule remain unchanged for this final rule technical correction. These determinations are set forth in the April 21, 2014 final rule. 79 FR at 22345–22348.

Model EMB–550 airplane. This airplane will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology and design envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. This design feature is the installation of a stowage compartment in the lavatory. The isolation of this stowage compartment from the main cabin could hinder the ability of the flight crew to detect a fire. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

Jones, FAA, Propulsion and Mechanical Systems Branch, ANM–112, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, Washington 98057–3356; telephone (425) 227–1234; facsimile (425) 227–1149. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Background We invite interested people to take part in this rulemaking by sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. We will consider all comments we receive on or before the closing date for comments. We may change these special conditions based on the comments we receive. Background On May 14, 2009, Embraer S.A. applied for a type certificate for its new Model EMB–550 airplane. The Model EMB–550 airplane is the first of a new PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 family of jet airplanes designed for corporate flight, fractional, charter, and private owner operations. The airplane has a configuration with low wing and T-tail empennage. The primary structure is metal with composite empennage and control surfaces. The Model EMB–550 airplane is designed for 8 passengers, with a maximum of 12 passengers. It is equipped with two Honeywell AS907– 3–1E medium bypass ratio turbofan engines mounted on aft fuselage pylons. Each engine produces approximately 6,540 pounds of thrust for normal takeoff. Type Certification Basis Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17, Embraer S.A. must show that the Model EMB–550 meets the applicable provisions of part 25, as amended by Amendments 25–1 through 25–127. If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the Model EMB–550 because of a novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed under the provisions of § 21.16. Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended later to include any other model that incorporates the same or similar novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would also apply to the other model under § 21.101. In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special conditions, the Model EMB–550 must comply with the fuel vent and exhaust emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the noise certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36, and the FAA must issue a finding of regulatory adequacy under § 611 of Public Law 92– 574, the ‘‘Noise Control Act of 1972.’’ The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in accordance with § 11.38, and they become part of the type-certification basis under § 21.17(a)(2). Novel or Unusual Design Features The Model EMB–550 will incorporate the following novel or unusual design features: A stowage compartment, designed to store passenger belongings, located in the lavatory. The stowage compartment may be isolated from the main passenger cabin by two doors (lavatory and stowage compartment doors), which could hinder the ability to detect smoke or fire. The installation of a stowage compartment in the lavatory is a novel and unusual design feature for which the applicable airworthiness E:\FR\FM\16JYR1.SGM 16JYR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    On April 21, 2014, DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable 
Energy published a test procedure final rule in the Federal Register 
titled, ``Test Procedures for Refrigerators, Refrigerator-Freezers, and 
Freezers'' (``April 2014 final rule''). 79 FR 22320. Since the 
publication of that final rule, it has come to DOE's attention that, 
due to a technical oversight, certain portions of the regulatory text 
adopted in the April 2014 final rule for appendix A to subpart B of 10 
CFR part 430 (Appendix A) contained erroneous references to AS/NZS 
4474.1:2007, Performance of Household Electrical Appliances--
Refrigerating Appliances; Part 1: Energy Consumption and Performance, 
Second edition, published August 15, 2007, which is incorporated by 
reference at Sec.  430.3. Specifically, several references to this 
standard in Appendix A are incorrectly listed as ``AZ/NZS 
44474.1:2007.'' The text of Sec.  430.3 correctly references this 
incorporated standard. DOE has also become aware that the text adopted 
in the April 2014 final rule for appendix B to subpart B of 10 CFR part 
430 (Appendix B) contains an error in a formula in section 5.2.1.3, in 
that the published version is missing the ``K'' adjustment factor 
present in the other formulas in section 5.2 of the test procedure.

II. Need for Correction

    As published, the adopted test procedure text may result in 
confusion due to the incorrect reference in Appendix A and the 
incorrect formula in Appendix B. Because this final rule would simply 
correct errors in the text without making substantive changes to the 
test procedures, the changes addressed in this document are technical 
in nature. Accordingly, DOE finds that there is good cause under 5 
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to not issue a separate notice to solicit public 
comment on the changes contained in this document. Issuing a separate 
notice to solicit public comment would be impracticable, unnecessary, 
and contrary to the public interest.

III. Procedural Requirements

    DOE has concluded that the determinations made pursuant to the 
various procedural requirements applicable to the April 21, 2014 test 
procedure final rule remain unchanged for this final rule technical 
correction. These determinations are set forth in the April 21, 2014 
final rule. 79 FR at 22345-22348.

Correction to Preamble

    In FR Doc. 2014-08644, published on April 21, 2014 (79 FR 22320),
