ACTION: Final Rule; correction. cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES AGENCY: SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is correcting a final rule regarding cosponsorships, fee and non-fee based SBA-sponsored activities, and gifts that was published in the Federal Register on November 23, 2005. The final rule implemented SBA’s statutory authority to provide assistance for the benefit of small businesses through activities sponsored with outside entities (for-profit and nonprofit entities and Federal, State, and local government officials or entities) as well as activities sponsored solely by SBA. The final rule also established minimum requirements for those activities as well as the Agency’s solicitation and acceptance of gifts. The rule was effective on November 23, 2005, the date of publication, but did not contain a justification for the immediate effective date as required by the Administrative Procedures Act. SBA is correcting the final rule by adding a paragraph which sets forth an appropriate justification for immediate effective date of final rule. DATES: Effective December 22, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert L. Gangwere, Deputy General Counsel, (202) 205–6642. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 23, 2005, SBA published a final rule regarding cosponsorships, fee and non-fee based SBA-sponsored activities, and gifts (70 FR 70703). The rule was effective on November 23, 2005, the date of publication, but did not contain a justification for the immediate effective date as required by the Administrative Procedures Act, § 553(d)(3). SBA is correcting the final rule by adding a paragraph which sets VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:00 Dec 21, 2005 Jkt 208001 forth an appropriate justification for immediate effective date of final rule. On page 70704, in the second column, add the following paragraph as subsection D of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section: D. Justification for Immediate Effective Date of Final Rule The APA requires that ‘‘publication or service of a substantive rule shall be made not less than 30 days before its effective date, except * * * as otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found and published with the rule.’’ 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). SBA finds that good cause exists to make this final rule effective on the same day it is published in the Federal Register. The purpose of the APA provision delaying the effective date of a rule for 30 days after publication is to provide interested and affected members of the public sufficient time to adjust their behavior before the rule takes effect. In this case, however, the 30-day delay is unnecessary because this final rule addresses administrative requirements for Agency management of SBA outreach programs and does not require small business concerns, cosponsors or SBA’s other strategic partners to change their behavior when participating with SBA in cosponsorships and other outreach activities. Further, immediate implementation of the final rule is justifiable because SBA’s statutory authority for cosponsorship and feebased SBA-sponsored events will terminate on September 30, 2006. Immediate implementation will give SBA the maximum amount of time to measure the effectiveness of the statutory authorities in furthering the SBA’s mission. Furthermore, SBA did not receive any comments on the proposed rule, which was published in the Federal Register on July 1, 2005, and does not expect any opposition to an immediate effective date of this final rule from small businesses or other entities participating in its outreach programs.

That service bulletin has been mandated by the European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) AD F–2005–028 and FAA AD 2005–19–14. That service bulletin specifies inspections and the restoring of electrical bonding integrity in the center tank, including the bonding addressed by Airbus Service Bulletin A320–28–1067, Revision 02, dated January 27, 1997. Airbus states that Service Bulletin A320–28–1067, Revision 02, the service bulletin cited in AD 2005–19–16, is no longer required due to the issuance of Service Bulletin A320–28–1104, original version; Revision 01; and Revision 02.

SUMMARY: This amendment rescinds Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2005-19-
16, which is applicable to certain Airbus Model A320-111, -211, -212, -
214, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes. That AD requires installing a 
bonding strip between each of the two water scavenge jet pumps of the 
center fuel tank and the rear spar in section 21. That AD resulted from 
fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. The requirements of 
that AD were intended to prevent an ignition source for fuel vapor in 
the wing, which could result in fire or explosion in the center wing 
fuel tank. Since the issuance of that AD, the FAA has determined that 
the procedures specified in the service bulletin and French AD 
referenced in that AD would result in duplicate actions.
    Effective Date: December 22, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 9, 2005, the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) issued Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2005-19-16, 
amendment 39-14281 (70 FR 55233, September 21, 2005), applicable to 
certain Model A320-111, -211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 
airplanes. That AD requires installing a bonding strip between each of 
the two water scavenge jet pumps of the center fuel tank and the rear 
spar in section 21. That action resulted from fuel system reviews 
conducted by the manufacturer.

[[Page 75933]]

The actions required by that AD are intended to prevent an ignition 
source for fuel vapor in the center wing fuel tank. That condition, if 
not corrected, could result in fire or explosion in the center wing 
fuel tank.

Actions Since Issuance of Previous AD

    Since the issuance of that AD, Airbus notified the Direction 
G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de l'Aviation Civile (DGAC), which is the 
airworthiness authority for France, and informed us that it had issued 
Service Bulletin A320-28-1104, dated December 2, 2003; Revision 01 
dated December 8, 2004; and Revision 02 dated February 21, 2005. That 
service bulletin has been mandated by the European Aviation Safety 
Authority (EASA) AD F-2005-028 and FAA AD 2005-19-14. That service 
bulletin specifies inspections and the restoring of electrical bonding 
integrity in the center tank, including the bonding addressed by Airbus 
Service Bulletin A320-28-1067, Revision 02, dated January 27, 1997. 
Airbus states that Service Bulletin A320-28-1067, Revision 02, the 
service bulletin cited in AD 2005-19-16, is no longer required due to 
the issuance of Service Bulletin A320-28-1104, original version; 
Revision 01; and Revision 02. Accordingly, the DGAC canceled French AD 
F-2005-056 by issuing AD F-2005-056 R1 on September 28, 2005.

FAA's Determination

    Since the issuance of AD 2005-19-16, we have determined that it is 
necessary to rescind that AD in order to prevent operators from 
performing unnecessary actions.
    Since this action rescinds a requirement to perform an unnecessary 
action, it has no adverse economic impact and imposes no additional 
burden on any person. Therefore, notice and public procedures hereon 
are unnecessary and the rescission may be made effective upon 
publication in the Federal Register.
