Friday, June 30, 2006
This section of the FEDERAL REGISTER
contains notices to the public of the proposed
issuance of rules and regulations. The
purpose of these notices is to give interested
persons an opportunity to participate in the
rule making prior to the adoption of the final
rules.

5 CFR Part 591

Allowances and Differentials
patrol officers, and medical personnel.
Under 5 U.S.C. 5902, OPM may, from
time to time, adjust the maximum
uniform allowance granted to
employees for the cost of their uniforms.
The maximum uniform allowance rate
has not been increased since 1991. The
Producer Price Index—Commodities
(Seasonally Adjusted) increased
approximately 24 percent between
January 1991 and January 2005.
Therefore, we are proposing to revise
the regulations at 5 CFR 591.103 to
increase the maximum annual uniform
allowance rate from $400 to $500.
Office of Personnel
Management.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to
supersede an existing airworthiness
directive (AD) that applies to certain
Boeing Model 767–200, –300, and
–300F series airplanes. The existing AD
currently requires an inspection of
visually accessible areas for indications
of overheating of the heater tape
attached to the potable water fill and
drain lines in the forward and aft cargo
compartments, exposed foam insulation
or missing or damaged protective tape
around the potable water fill and drain
lines, and debris or contaminants on or
near the potable water fill and drain
lines. That AD also requires corrective
action, as necessary. This proposed AD
would require repetitive inspections of
the forward and aft cargo compartments,
as applicable, for discrepancies of the
potable water supply and gray water
drain lines; and applicable corrective
actions if necessary. This proposed AD
also would require replacing the heater
tapes on the potable water supply and
gray water drain lines of the forward
and aft cargo compartments, as
applicable, with new ribbon heaters,
which would end the repetitive
inspections. This proposed AD results
from a report of a fire in the aft cargo
compartment. We are proposing this AD
to prevent overheating of the heater tape
on potable water fill and drain lines,
which may ignite accumulated debris or
contaminants on or near the potable
water fill and drain lines, resulting in a
fire in the airplane.
DATES: We must receive comments on
this proposed AD by August 14, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Use one of the following
addresses to submit comments on this
proposed AD.
