On
December 15, 2005, we published in the
Federal Register (70 FR 74215–74235,
Docket No. 03–002–1) a proposed rule
that would make several amendments to
the nursery stock regulations, including
changes to eliminate various restrictions
on the importation of plants in vitro and
kenaf seed; to establish programs for the
importation of approved plants from the
Canary Islands and from Israel; to
require an additional declaration on the
phytosanitary certificate accompanying
blueberry plants imported from Canada;
to require that phytosanitary certificates
include the genus and species names of
the restricted articles they accompany;
to change the phytosanitary certificate
requirements for several restricted
articles; to reduce the postentry
quarantine growing period for
Hydrangea spp. and for certain
chrysanthemums; and to update the list
of ports of entry and Federal plant
inspection stations. We also proposed
several other changes to update and
clarify the regulations and improve their
effectiveness.

required to be received on or before
February 13, 2006. We are reopening the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Dairy
Production Stabilization Act of 1983

sroberts on PROD1PC70 with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules
(Act) (7 U.S.C. Section 4501, et seq.)
authorized a national dairy producer
program designed to develop and
finance promotion, research, and
nutrition education programs to
maintain and expand markets and uses
for milk and dairy products in the
contiguous 48 States. The program is
conducted under the Dairy Promotion
and Research Order (7 CFR part 1150).
The program became effective on May
1, 1984, when the Order was issued.
The National Dairy Promotion and
Research Program is funded by a
mandatory assessment of 15 cents per
hundredweight on all milk produced in
the 48 contiguous states and marketed
commercially. Producers can receive a
credit of up to 10 cents a hundredweight
for payments made to any State or
regional dairy product promotion,
research or nutrition education
programs which are certified as
qualified programs pursuant to the
Order.
The Order provides for the
establishment of the National Dairy
Promotion and Research Board (Dairy
Board) that is composed of 36 members
appointed by the Secretary of
Agriculture. Each member represents 1
of 13 Regions in the 48 contiguous
States. The members of the Dairy Board
serve 3-year terms and are eligible to be
appointed to 2 consecutive terms.
AMS published in the Federal
Register its plan (64 FR 8014, February
18, 1999), and later its updated plan (68
FR 48574, August 14, 2003), to review
certain regulations using criteria
contained in Section 610 of the RFA (5
U.S.C. 601–612). Given that many AMS
regulations impact small entities, AMS
decided as a matter of policy to review
certain regulations which, although they
may not meet the threshold requirement
under Section 610 of the RFA, warrant
review. Accordingly, this notice and
request for comments is made for the
National Dairy Promotion and Research
Program (conducted under the Dairy
Promotion and Research Order).
The purpose of the review is to
determine whether the Order should be
continued without change, amended, or
rescinded (consistent with the
objectives of the Act) to minimize any
significant economic impact of rules
upon a substantial number of small
entities. AMS will consider the
continued need for the Order; the nature
of complaints or comments received
from the public concerning the Order;
the complexity of the Order; the extent
to which the Order overlaps, duplicates,
or conflicts with other Federal rules
and, to the extent feasible, with State
and local government rules; and the
length of time since the Order has been

evaluated or the degree to which
technology, economic conditions, or
other factors have changed in the area
affected by the Order.
Written comments, views, opinions,
and other information regarding the
Order’s impact on small businesses are
invited.
Dated: February 23, 2006.

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter
France Model AS350B, BA, B1, B2, B3,

Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This document proposes
adopting a new airworthiness directive
(AD) for Eurocopter France (Eurocopter)
Model AS350B, BA, B1, B2, B3, C, D,
and D1 helicopters that have a Geneva
Aviation, Inc. (Geneva) P132 console
(console) installed. This proposal would
require installing right and left side
Geneva cyclic control sticks and
modifying the cyclic grips and the copilot cyclic stand (receptacle). This
proposal is prompted by reports that
pilots had restricted cyclic stick travel
when using Eurocopter factory-installed
cyclic sticks in a helicopter that has
been modified in accordance with a
certain Supplemental Type Certificate
(STC) for the installation of a Geneva
P132 console. The actions specified by
this proposed AD are intended to
prevent restricting full lateral movement
of the cyclic control during high lateral
center of gravity (CG) load operations in
high cross winds and during slope
takeoffs or landings, and subsequent
loss of control of the helicopter.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before May 1, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Use one of the following
addresses to submit comments on this
proposed AD:
