For the purpose of determining the basis for selecting committee members, the following districts of the production area are hereby established: (a) District No. 1—The counties of Ferry, Stevens, Pend Oreille, Spokane, Whitman, and Lincoln, plus the East Irrigation District of the Columbia Basin Project, plus the area of Grant County not included in either the Quincy or South Irrigation Districts which lies east of township vertical line R27E, plus the area of Adams County not included in either of the South or Quincy Irrigation Districts. (b) District No. 2—The counties of Kittitas, Douglas, Chelan, and Okanogan, plus the Quincy Irrigation District of the Columbia Basin Project, plus the area of Grant County not included in the East or South Irrigation Districts which lies west of township line R28E. (c) District No. 3—The counties of Benton, Klickitat, and Yakima. (d) District No. 4—The counties of Walla Walla, Columbia, Garfield, and Asotin, plus the South Irrigation District of the Columbia Basin Project, plus the area of Franklin County not included in the South District. (e) District No. 5—All of the remaining counties in the State of Washington not included in Districts No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 of this section. I 9. Amend § 946.32 by revising paragraph (a) to read as follows: DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION published (2004, 2005), and each new edition includes two small errors that we are correcting with this technical amendment. Both errors are found in Appendix M of part 121. This appendix lists airplane flight recorder specifications for all 88 parameters that are required for aircraft operating under the rules of part 121. One error is found in parameter 12a, Pitch Control(s) (non fly-by-wire systems), and the other is found in parameter 19, Pitch trim surface position. These errors were brought to out attention in May 2005 and we are correcting them as quickly as possible. The first error lists a ‘‘%’’ sign under the ‘‘Accuracy (sensor input) for parameter 12a, but a ‘‘°’’ (for ‘‘degree’’) sign should be listed. The second error is a spelling error in parameter 19. Parameter 19 currently reads, ‘‘Pitch trime,’’ when it should read ‘‘Pitch trim.’’ Federal Aviation Administration Need for Correction 11. In § 946.63, redesignate paragraph (d) as paragraph (e) and add a new paragraph (d) to read as follows: I § 946.63 Termination. * * * * * (d) The Secretary shall conduct a referendum six years after the effective date of this paragraph and every sixth thereafter to ascertain whether producers favor continuance of this part. * * * * * Dated: July 11, 2005.

ACTION: Final rules. SUMMARY: We are amending our SSI regulations by making technical revisions to our rules on income and resources based on the Social Security Protection Act (SSPA) of 2004 and several other statutory changes. These technical revisions update lists of exclusions from income and resources under the SSI program and make additional technical corrections. DATES: These regulations are effective July 18, 2005.

Electronic Version The electronic file of this document is available on the date of publication in VerDate jul<14>2003 15:29 Jul 15, 2005 Jkt 205001 Resolution * Background The basic purpose of the SSI program (title XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act)) is to ensure a minimum level of income to people who are age 65 or older, or blind or disabled, and who have limited income and resources. The law provides that payments can be made only to people who have income and resources below specified amounts. Therefore, the income and resources a person has are major factors in deciding whether the person is eligible to receive SSI benefits and in computing the amount of benefits. Regulations for the SSI program are in title 20, chapter III, part 416 of the Code of Federal Regulations. In part 416, subpart K contains our regulations on income and subpart L contains our regulations on resources. Explanation of Revisions In these final rules we are making minor revisions and technical changes to the SSI regulations in part 416. We are making technical corrections and adding a paragraph to one section in subpart K to reflect legislative changes, and updating the appendix to subpart K which lists exclusions from income in statutes other than the Act. We also are revising subpart L by adding a new section and making several technical revisions based on the SSPA of 2004, Public Law 108–203, that was enacted on March 2, 2004, by updating the list of statutory exclusions from resources based on statutes other than the Act, and by adding a new section to reflect another legislative change. Revisions to Subpart K—Income 1. We are revising § 416.1124(c) to update the list of types of unearned income that we do not count to Frm 00007 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 For airplanes that have a flight control break away capability that allows either pilot to operate the controls independently, record both control inputs. The control inputs may be sampled alternately once per second to produce the sampling interval of 0.5 or 0.25, as applicable. * * * * the Federal Register at https:// www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/.

The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–193) effectively replaced the AFDC program with the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. We are updating paragraph (c)(2) to reflect this legislative change. • We are adding paragraph (c)(21) to § 416.1124 to reflect section 7 of the Noncitizen Benefit Clarification and Other Technical Amendments Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105–306) which amended the Act by adding section 1612(b)(22). Section 1612(b)(22) of the Act excludes from income gifts given by certain tax exempt organizations to children who have a life-threatening condition. New paragraph (c)(21) will exclude from income, gifts that are given to, or for the benefit of an individual who has not attained 18 years of age and who has a life-threatening condition. To be excluded from income, these gifts must be given by an organization as described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 which is exempt from taxation under section 501(a) of such Code. The types of gifts that will be excluded are any in-kind gift that is not converted to cash, and cash gifts to the extent that the total gifts do not exceed $2000 in any calendar year. Inkind gifts converted to cash are considered under income counting rules in the month of conversion. 2. We are also revising § 416.1142(a)(1) to replace the reference to ‘‘Aid to Families with Dependent Children’’ with ‘‘Temporary Assistance for Needy Families’’. E:\FR\FM\18JYR1.SGM 18JYR1

Digital Flight Data Recorder Requirements

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is making minor 
technical changes to a final rule published in the Federal Register on 
July 18, 2003 (68 FR 42932). That final rule amended appendices in 14 
CFR parts 121, 125, and 135. In that final rule the FAA inadvertently 
did not make conforming amendments to two parts of Appendix M of part 
121.

DATES: Effective July 18, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA published a final rule on July 18, 2003, that made changes 
to recording specifications for digital flight data recorders required 
in 14 CFR parts 121, 125, and 135. Since that rulemaking, two editions 
of the Code of Federal Regulations have been published (2004, 2005), 
and each new edition includes two small errors that we are correcting 
with this technical amendment. Both errors are found in Appendix M of 
part 121. This appendix lists airplane flight recorder specifications 
for all 88 parameters that are required for aircraft operating under 
the rules of part 121.
    One error is found in parameter 12a, Pitch Control(s) (non fly-by-
wire systems), and the other is found in parameter 19, Pitch trim 
surface position. These errors were brought to out attention in May 
2005 and we are correcting them as quickly as possible. The first error 
lists a ``%'' sign under the ``Accuracy (sensor input) for parameter 
12a, but a ``[deg]'' (for ``degree'') sign should be listed. The second 
error is a spelling error in parameter 19. Parameter 19 currently 
reads, ``Pitch trime,'' when it should read ``Pitch trim.''

Need for Correction

    The two errors published in current versions of 14 CFR are very 
minor. It is possible that an operator subject to the requirements 
described in Appendix M, part 121, could be confused by what is 
published. It is unlikely that these errors will directly affect 
safety, but it is necessary for us to make sure that all information in 
the appendix is 100% accurate.

Technical Amendment

    The technical amendment will correct parameters 12a and 19 in 14 
CFR, part 121, Appendix M.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 121

    Air carriers, Aircraft, Airmen, Alcohol abuse, Aviation safety, 
Charter flights, Drug abuse, Drug testing, Reporting and recordkeeping
