Acceptable Methods of Compliance With § 25.562(c)(5) for Front Row Passenger Seats, 21343-21344 [05-8136]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 79 / Tuesday, April 26, 2005 / Proposed Rules classing was the prevailing method of cotton classification requested by producers in 2004. Therefore, the 2005 producer’s user fee for classification service is based on the 2004 base fee for HVI classification. The fee was calculated by applying the formula specified in the Uniform Cotton Classing Fees Act of 1987, as amended by Pub. L. 102–237. The 2004 base fee for HVI classification exclusive of adjustments, as provided by the Act, was $2.32 per bale. An increase of 2.51 percent, or 5 cents per bale, due to the implicit price deflator of the gross domestic product added to the $2.32 would result in a 2005 base fee of $2.37 per bale. The formula in the Act provides for the use of the percentage change in the implicit price deflator of the gross national product (as indexed for the most recent 12-month period for which statistics are available). However, gross national product has been replaced by gross domestic product by the Department of Commerce as a more appropriate measure for the short-term monitoring and analysis of the U.S. economy. The number of bales to be classed by the United States Department of Agriculture from the 2005 crop is estimated at 18,096,563 bales. The 2005 base fee was decreased 15 percent based on the estimated number of bales to be classed (1 percent for every 100,000 bales or portion thereof above the base of 12,500,000, limited to a maximum decreased adjustment of 15 percent). This percentage factor amounts to a 35 cents per bale reduction and was subtracted from the 2005 base fee of $2.37 per bale, resulting in a fee of $2.02 per bale. However, a fee of $2.02 per bale, the projected operating reserve would be 32.45 percent. The Act specifies that the Secretary shall not establish a fee which, when combined with other sources of revenue, will result in a projected operating reserve of more than 25 percent. Accordingly, the fee of $2.02 was required to be reduced by 17 cents per bale, to $1.85 per bale, to provide an ending accumulated operating reserve for the fiscal year of not more than 25 percent of the projected cost of operating the program. This would establish the proposal 2005 season fee at $1.85 per bale. Accordingly, under the proposed rule § 28.909, paragraph (b) would be revised to reflect the increase of the HVI classification fee from $1.65 to $1.85 per bale. As provided for in the Uniform Cotton Classing Fees Act of 1987, as amended, a 5 cent per bale discount would continue to be applied to voluntary VerDate jul<14>2003 15:27 Apr 25, 2005 Jkt 205001 centralized billing and collecting agents as specified in § 28.909 (c). Growers or their designated agents receiving classification data would continue to incur no additional fees if classification data is requested only once. The fee for each additional retrieval of classification data in § 28.910 would remain at 5 cents per bale. The fee in § 28.910 (b) for an owner receiving classification data from the National database would remain at 5 cents per bale, and the minimum charge of $5.00 for services provided per monthly billing period would remain the same. The provisions of § 28.910 (c) concerning the fee for new classification memoranda issued from the National database for the business convenience of an owner without reclassification of the cotton will remain the same at 15 cents per bale or a minimum of $5.00 per sheet. The fee for review classification in § 28.911 would be increased from $1.65 to $1.85 per bale. The fee for returning samples after classification in § 28.911 would remain at 40 cents per sample. A 15-day comment period is provided for public comments. This period is appropriate because it is anticipated that the proposed changes, if adopted, would be made effective July 1, 2005, as provided by the Cotton Statistics and Estimates Act.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). AGENCY: SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Dornier Model 328–100 series airplanes. This proposed AD would require modifying the electrical wiring of the fuel pumps; installing insulation at the hand flow control and shut-off valves, VerDate jul<14>2003 15:27 Apr 25, 2005 Jkt 205001 and other components of the environmental control system; and installing markings at fuel wiring harnesses. This proposed AD also would require revising the Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate new inspections of the fuel tank system. This proposed AD is prompted by the results of fuel system reviews conducted by the airplane manufacturer. We are proposing this AD to reduce the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane. DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 26, 2005.

Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after the DMS receives them. Discussion The FAA has examined the underlying safety issues involved in recent fuel tank explosions on several large transport airplanes, including the adequacy of existing regulations, the service history of airplanes subject to those regulations, and existing maintenance practices for fuel tank systems. As a result of those findings, we issued a regulation titled ‘‘Transport Airplane Fuel Tank System Design Review, Flammability Reduction and Maintenance and Inspection Requirements’’ (67 FR 23086, May 7, 2001). In addition to new airworthiness standards for transport airplanes and new maintenance requirements, this rule included Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88 (‘‘SFAR 88,’’ Amendment 21–78, and subsequent Amendments 21–82 and 21–83).
