Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-use Assurance Quad City International Airport, Moline, IL
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the lease of the airport property. The proposal consists of a 2.656-acre portion of Parcel Z (9.19 acres). The land is currently vacant and is not needed for aeronautical use. The land was acquired under the FAA Project Numbers 9-11-024-C309. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to lease the property. The change from aeronautical to non- aeronautical use will allow the construction of a hotel on the subject 2.656-acre parcel. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the lease of the subject airport property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The disposition of proceeds from the lease of the airport property will be in accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 16, 1999. In accordance with section 47107(h) of title 49, United States Code, this notice is required to be published in the Federal Register 30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that required the property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.
Special Conditions: Boeing Model 747-400 Airplane; Large Non-Structural Glass in the Passenger Compartment
This action proposes special conditions for a Boeing Model 747-400 airplane modified by Lufthansa Technik AG. This airplane will have a novel or unusual design feature associated with the installation of large non-structural glass items in the cabin area of an executive interior occupied by passengers and crew. The proposed installation of these items in a passenger compartment, which can be occupied during taxi, takeoff, and landing, is a novel or unusual design feature with respect to the material used. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These proposed 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.
Modification of the Los Angeles Class B Airspace Area; CA
This action modifies the Los Angeles (LAX), CA, Class B airspace. Specifically, this action expands the eastern boundary of the airspace to ensure containment of the LAX Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STAR), and correct the inefficiencies of several existing areas identified during public meetings and Southern California TRACON (SCT) reviews of the airspace. The FAA is taking this action to improve the flow of air traffic, enhance safety, and reduce the potential for midair collision in the LAX Class B airspace, while accommodating the concerns of airspace users. Further, this effort supports the FAA's national airspace redesign goal of optimizing terminal and en route airspace to reduce aircraft delays and improve system capacity.
Notice of Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Approvals and Disapprovals
The FAA publishes a monthly notice, as appropriate, of PFC approvals and disapprovals under the provisions of the Aviation Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1990 (Title IX of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990) (Pub. L. 101-508) and Part 158 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 158). This notice is published pursuant to paragraph d of Sec. 158.29.

Public Notice for a Change in Use of Aeronautical Property at Anacortes Airport, Anacortes, Washington
The FAA is requesting comments on the Port of Anacortes, Anacortes, Washington, request to change a portion (approximately 4.8 acres) of airport property from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use. The property is located on the southeast side of the airport, adjacent to residential dwellings.The property is undeveloped and will not be developed for aeronautical purposes. The property will remain available for non-aeronautical airport purposes. The property was acquired through ADAP/AIP grants several years ago. This notice is the result of an agreement between the Port of Anacortes (Port), the owner and operator of the airport, and the city of Anacortes (City), the zoning and permitting authority, to establish a sub-area zoning plan, an obstruction removal and safety fence installation project, and a Development Agreement providing for future (20 years) airport development. There are several positive impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to remove the aeronautical use obligation. The acrimonious relationship between the Port and the City is improving after a decade of deterioration. The airport users benefit from a stabilized relationship between the Port and the City. The airport and the airport users benefit from vested permits for construction of safety and perimeter fences and to remove Part 77 obstructions. Airport developers benefit from a predictable building permit application process where aeronautical uses are ``permitted uses'' rather than ``conditional uses''. The proposal provides for the Port to provide the appraised value of ($135,000) for development rights to the property. The funds will be utilized, with the agreement of FAA, for Airport Improvement Plan eligible airport capital improvement projects.

Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of Texas
Notice is hereby given that the State of Texas is revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Texas has adopted the Arsenic Rule and the Radionuclides Rule. EPA has determined that these revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to approve these program revisions. All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for a public hearing must be submitted by September 12, 2005, to the Regional Administrator at the EPA Region 6 address shown below. Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional Administrator. However, if a substantial request for a public hearing is made by September 12, 2005, a public hearing will be held. If no timely and appropriate request for a hearing is received and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his own motion, this determination shall become final and effective on September 12, 2005. Any request for a public hearing shall include the following information: the name, address, and telephone number of the individual organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; a brief statement of the requesting person's interest in the Regional Administrator's determination and a brief statement of the information that the requesting person intends to submit at such hearing; and the signature of the individual making the request, or, if the request is made on behalf of an organization or other entity, the signature of a responsible official of the organization or other entity.
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 757-200, 757-200CB, and 757-200PF Series Airplanes Equipped With Rolls Royce Model RB211 Engines
The FAA is revising an existing airworthiness directive (AD), which applies to certain Boeing Model 757-200, 757-200CB, and 757-200PF series airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive inspections to detect horizontal or vertical movement of the shims at the joint of the mid-bulkhead and the upper link fittings; repetitive inspections for cracking of the mid-bulkhead; and corrective action if necessary. That AD also provides optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This AD continues to require the existing requirements and optional actions and clarifies certain terminating actions. This AD results from comments received in response to an existing AD, requesting clarification. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct migration of shims at the joint of the mid-bulkhead and the upper link fittings and cracking of the mid-bulkhead, which could result in cracking of the strut and consequent loss of the strut and engine.
Commodity Supplemental Food Program-Plain Language, Program Accountability, and Program Flexibility
This final rule rewrites the regulations for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) in ``plain language'' to help program operators and the general public better understand program requirements. It also reduces the time and paperwork burden for State and local agencies, increases their flexibility in program operations, and strengthens program accountability. Other changes have been made to incorporate legislative provisions and improve program service and caseload management. This final rule makes the CSFP easier to understand and administer, and more effective and efficient in providing benefits to eligible persons.

Airworthiness Directives; Robinson Helicopter Company Model R-22 Series Helicopters
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the specified Robinson Helicopter Company (Robinson) Model R-22 series helicopters that have been modified in accordance with Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) No. SR09189RC. This action requires inspecting the left-hand door and right-hand door for a crack in the door assembly integral frame, and replacing the door assembly if a crack is found. This AD also requires inspecting each door assembly to determine if the weather seal set is airworthy and installed properly, inspecting each door hinge for the proper installation of a cotter pin, and thereafter, at intervals not to exceed 100 hours time-in-service (TIS), inspecting each door assembly integral frame for a crack. This amendment is prompted by one accident and one incident involving Robinson Model R-22 series helicopters. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent separation of a door window or door assembly from the helicopter, which could damage the tail rotor during flight and result in loss of control of the helicopter.
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Final Designation of Critical Habitat for Four Vernal Pool Crustaceans and Eleven Vernal Pool Plants in California and Southern Oregon; Evaluation of Economic Exclusions From August 2003 Final Designation
We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), have re-evaluated the economic exclusions made to our previous final rule (68 FR 46683; August 6, 2003), which designated critical habitat pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), for 4 vernal pool crustaceans and 11 vernal pool plants. A total of approximately 858,846 acres (ac) (347,563 hectares (ha)) of land are now designated critical habitat. This reflects exclusion of lands from the final designation for economic reasons, pursuant to section 4(b)(2) of the Act. This designation also reflects the lands previously confirmed for exclusion under 4(b)(2) of the Act for non-economic reasons (70 FR 11140; March 8, 2005). The non-economic exclusions include the boundaries of various Habitat Conservation Plans, National Wildlife Refuges and National fish hatchery lands (33,097 ac (13,394 ha)), State lands within ecological reserves and wildlife management areas (20,933 ac (8,471 ha)), Department of Defense lands within Beale and Travis Air Force Bases as well as Fort Hunter Liggett and Camp Roberts Army installations (64,259 ac (26,005 ha)), Tribal lands managed by the Mechoopda Tribe (644 ac (261 ha)), and the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve (10,200 ac (4,128 ha)) from the final designation.

Economic Development Administration Reauthorization Act of 2004 Implementation; Regulatory Revision
On October 27, 2004, President Bush signed the Economic Development Administration Reauthorization Act of 2004 (the ``2004 Act'') into law. The Economic Development Administration (``EDA'') publishes this interim final rule to reflect the amendments made to EDA's authorizing statute, the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 (``PWEDA''), by the 2004 Act. In addition to tracking the statutory amendments to PWEDA, the interim final rule reflects EDA's current practices and policies in administering its economic development programs that have evolved since the promulgation of EDA's regulations. The interim final rule also reorders and re-titles certain parts of the existing regulations in a more logical sequence, expands the construction and use of defined terms, and presents information to the reader in a more concise and overall user-friendly format.
