Irish Potatoes Grown in Colorado; Reopening of Comment Period on Relaxation of Handling Regulation for Area No. 2 and Certain Imported Potatoes, 48903-48904 [05-16570]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 161 / Monday, August 22, 2005 / Proposed Rules of the marketing orders. In addition, the committees’ meetings were widely publicized throughout the California nectarine and peach industries and all interested persons were invited to attend the meetings and participate in the committees’ deliberations on all issues. Like all committee meetings, the April 28, 2004, meetings were public meetings and all entities of all sizes were able to express views on this issue. Finally, interested persons are invited to submit information on the regulatory and informational impacts of this action on small businesses. This proposed rule would impose no additional reporting or recordkeeping requirements on either small or large handlers. As with all Federal marketing order programs, reports and forms are periodically reviewed to reduce information requirements and duplication by industry and public sector agencies. USDA has not identified any relevant Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or conflict with this rule. A small business guide on complying with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop marketing agreements and orders may be viewed at: https://www.ams.usda.gov/ fv/moab.html. Any questions about the compliance guide should be sent to Jay Guerber at the previously mentioned address in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. A 10-day comment period is provided to allow interested persons to respond to this proposal. Ten days is deemed appropriate because: (1) The 2005–06 fiscal period began on March 1, 2005, and the marketing order requires that the rate of assessment for each fiscal period apply to all assessable nectarines and peaches handled during such fiscal period; (2) the committees need to have sufficient funds to pay their expenses, which are incurred on a continuous basis; and (3) handlers are aware of this action, which was discussed by the committees at public meetings and unanimously recommended by a mail vote, and is similar to other assessment rate actions issued in past years. List of Subjects 7 CFR Part 916 Marketing agreements, Nectarines, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. 7 CFR Part 917 Marketing agreements, Peaches, Pears, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. For the reasons set forth in the preamble, 7 CFR parts 916 and 917 are proposed to be amended as follows: VerDate jul<14>2003 16:05 Aug 19, 2005 Jkt 205001 1. The authority citation for 7 CFR parts 916 and 917 continues to read as follows: Authority: 7 U.S.C. 601–674. PART 916—NECTARINES GROWN IN CALIFORNIA 2. Section 916.234 is revised to read as follows: § 916.234 Assessment rate. On and after March 1, 2005, an assessment rate of $0.20 per 25-pound container or container equivalent of nectarines is established for California nectarines. PART 917—PEACHES GROWN IN CALIFORNIA 3.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A proposed rule was issued on May 3, 2005, and published in the Federal Register on May 6, 2005 (70 FR 23942). The proposed rule would relax the minimum grade requirements from U.S. No. 1 to U.S. Commercial for all Colorado Area No. 2 potato varieties measuring from 11⁄2-inch minimum diameter to 21⁄4-inch maximum diameter (size B), and from 1-inch minimum diameter to 13⁄4-inch maximum diameter. Under the potato import regulation, the grade changes would only apply to all red-skinned round type imported potatoes of the same size categories during the months of October through June. Reopening of the comment period was requested on behalf of domestic potato growers by a potato shipper in Pennsylvania. This shipper expressed concern that the relaxation of minimum grade requirements for potatoes imported from Canada could negatively impact potato producers in the United States.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking; reopening of comment period. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This document revises an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 727–100 and –100C series airplanes, that would have required repetitive inspections of the frame inner chord, outer chord, and web of the forward and aft edge frames of the lower lobe forward cargo door (FCD) cutout, and corrective action if necessary. This new action revises the proposed rule by adding high frequency eddy current inspections and a detailed inspection for cracks of certain areas described above. This new action also removes one airplane from the applicability. The actions specified by this new proposed AD are intended to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the forward and aft edge frames of the lower lobe FCD cutout, which could result in the loss of the FCD and rapid decompression of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition. DATES: Comments must be received by September 16, 2005.

Availability of Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRMs) Any person may obtain a copy of this NPRM by submitting a request to the FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, ANM–114, Attention: Rules Docket No. 2003–NM–238–AD, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055–4056. Discussion A proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to add an airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 727–100 and –100C series airplanes, was published as an NPRM in the Federal Register on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 34974). That NPRM would have required repetitive inspections of the frame inner chord, outer chord, and web of the forward and aft edge frames of the lower lobe forward cargo door (FCD) cutout, and corrective action, if necessary. That NPRM was prompted by reports indicating that fatigue cracks were found at the inner chord, outer chord, and web of the forward and aft edge frames of the lower lobe FCD cutout. That condition, if not corrected, could result in the loss of the FCD and rapid decompression of the airplane. Actions Since Issuance of Previous Proposal Since the issuance of that NPRM, Boeing has issued Alert Service Bulletin 727–53A0229, dated March 24, 2005, for all Model 727, 727C, 727–100, and 727– 100C series airplanes. The service bulletin identifies Group 1 airplanes as airplanes having line number 1 through 695 inclusive and Group 2 airplanes as airplanes having line numbers 696 through 869 inclusive. The service bulletin describes procedures for detailed and high frequency eddy current inspections for cracks in the web and the inner and outer chord of the forward and aft frames of the forward cargo doorway.
