Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A320 Series Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A320 series airplanes. This proposed AD would require installing insulator and cable ties to the electrical cables of the S routes at the gaps in the raceway in the wing trailing edge and the wing tip and wing root areas. This proposed AD is prompted by the results of fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are proposing this AD to prevent injection of high voltage current into the low voltage wiring that passes through the fuel tanks, which could result in a possible fuel tank explosion.

Special Conditions: Garmin International Inc.; Cessna Model 182T/T182T Airplane; Installation of Electronic Flight Instrument System and the Protection of the System From High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF)
These special conditions are issued for Garmin International Inc., 1200 E. 151st St., Olathe, KS 66062, for a Supplemental Type Certificate on the Cessna Model 182T/T182T airplanes.

These special conditions address the protection of these systems from the effects of high intensity radiated field (HIRF) environments. 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.

On October 1, 1999, the FAA amended the regulations governing takeoff and landing slots and slot allocation procedures at certain High Density Traffic Airports as a result of the ``Open Transborder'' Agreement between the Government of the United States and the Government of Canada. One element of this final rule established that the deadline for submission of requests for international slots will be published in a Federal Register notice for each scheduling season. The purpose of the amendment is for the FAA deadline for international slots requests to coincide with the International Air Transport Association deadline for submission of international requests. In accordance with this amendment, the FAA announces in this notice that the deadline for submitting requests for international slots at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) for allocation under 14 CFR 93.217 is May 12, 2005. Additionally, the FAA has designated Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (O'Hare) as a Level 2, Schedules Facilitated Airport under the IATA Guidelines. As such, the FAA requests carriers intening to conduct international service to O'Hare submit their intended schedules following the same procedures used for submitting requests for slots at JFK.

Consumer Information; Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards
The Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards (UTQGS) contain detailed testing procedures for generating consumer information about the treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance of passenger car tires. To ensure the uniformity of treadwear grades, the grading procedures specify a 400-mile test course located near San Angelo, Texas. Two or four-vehicle convoys equipped with candidate tires travel along this course to evaluate the tire treadwear performance. Because of flooding now affecting several water crossings along a small portion of the test course, NHTSA is issuing this interim final rule to revise the specified treadwear test course route. This change will not compromise the reliability of the treadwear grades, and will not impose or relax any substantive requirements or burdens on manufacturers.

Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement, third party disclosure requirement, and on occasion and one-time reporting requirements. Total Annual Burden: 113 hours. Total Annual Cost: $15,000. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No. Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted and released a Report and Order, IB Docket No. 02-10, FCC 04-286, which revised this information to include the following reporting and recordkeeping requirements: (1) C-Band and Ku-Band operators (``ESV operators'') must collect and maintain vessel tracking data for one year to assist the Commission and affected operators in identifying and resolving sources of interference; (2) as a condition of licensing, applicants proposing ESV operations in the 14.0 through 14.5 GHz band and planning to travel within 100km of these sites, must coordinate through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee's (IRAC) and, if necessary, the appropriate government agency to resolve any potential concerns; and (3) ESV operators must have a contact that is available in the United States 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to respond to Fixed Satellite (FS) operators' requests. The name, telephone number and other pertinent information of the contact will be posted on the Commission's Web site, https://www.fcc.gov. As a result of this rulemaking, the Commission's International Bureau will revise its earth station license application procedures and related forms to conform to the rules adopted. Specifically, the information requested on FCC Form 312 will need to be modified. There are, moreover, additional and ongoing rulemakings that may also require modification to FCC Form 312. Because the Commission intends to modify FCC Form 312 only after all the applicable rulemakings have been completed, there will be a period of time after the effective date of this Report and Order during which FCC Form 312 will not be altered to accommodate ESV applications. In the interim, ESV applicants should utilize FCC Form 312 and submit attachments providing the relevant information and certifications reflected in the rules we adopted. (Note: FCC Form 312 is approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control Number 3060- 0678). Finally, during the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) stage of the rulemaking, the Commission proposed some revisions to FCC rules that were not adopted in the final Report and Order. As a result, the OMB submission reflects a program change of -802 burden hours and - $12,000 in annual costs. The purposes of this information collection are as follows: (1) Establish licensing and service rules for ESVs in the Ku-band and C- band; (2) prevent harmful interference to Fixed Service (FS), Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) and other satellite services; (3) further the Commission's goals to manage spectrum efficiently; and (4) advance the provision of broadband telecommunications services that will benefit U.S. citizens on passenger, government (military and civilian), cargo and large recreational vessels.
