performed by delegated States and/or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Agriculture Reauthorizations Act of
2015, Public Law 114–54, amended the
USGSA (7 U.S.C. 71–87k) to require
GIPSA to adjust fees for the supervision
of official grain inspection and weighing
in order to maintain an operating
reserve of not less than 3 and not more
than 6 months (7 U.S.C. 79(j)(4)).
On June 28, 2016, GIPSA published a
notice in the Federal Register
suspending the supervision fee
assessment, effective July 1, 2016,
through June 30, 2017 (81 FR 41790). At
the end of fiscal year 2016, GIPSA again
reviewed its operating reserve to

determine if the balance had attained
the level required by the Agriculture
Reauthorizations Act of 2015. GIPSA
found that its fiscal year 2016 operating
reserve for the supervision of official
inspection and weighing was
approximately $8.7 million, and
continues to exceed the 6 month
requirement by a significant margin.
Therefore, GIPSA is announcing that
it is suspending for an additional year
the fee for supervision of official
inspection and weighing services of
domestic grain and land carriers to
Canada and Mexico performed by
delegated States and/or designated
agencies. According to the regulations
under the USGSA, GIPSA may suspend
any provision of the regulations in
emergencies or other circumstances that
would not impair the objectives of the
USGSA (7 CFR 800.2). GIPSA has
determined that suspending the
supervision fees will not impair the
objectives of the USGSA because the
current operating reserve far exceeds
that needed to maintain the service
without additional funds.
GIPSA will continue the suspension
of the assessment fee of $0.011 per
metric ton on domestic shipments
officially inspected and/or weighed,
including land carrier shipments to
Canada and Mexico, performed by
delegated States and/or designated
agencies on or after July 1, 2017 (7 CFR
800.71 Schedule B). These fees will
remain suspended for 1 year, at which
time GIPSA will reassess the operating
reserve for supervision of official agency
inspection and weighing.

Acting Administrator, Grain Inspection,
Packers and Stockyards Administration.

ACTION: Final rule; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
We are superseding
airworthiness directive (AD) 2016–20–
04 for Airbus Helicopters Model
SA341G and SA342J helicopters. AD
2016–20–04 prohibited autorotation
training flights until the landing gear
rear crosstube (crosstube) was
inspected. This new AD adds additional
part-numbered crosstubes to the
applicability and revises the hardness
criteria for the inspection. This AD is
prompted by a determination that an
additional part-numbered crosstube may
have the same unsafe condition. The
actions of this AD are intended to detect
and prevent an unsafe condition on
these helicopters.
DATES: This AD becomes effective June
27, 2017.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of a certain document listed in this AD
as of June 27, 2017.
