ACTION:
SUMMARY: This rule clarifies the
regulations governing employee
conflicts of interest for the successor
agencies of the former Farmers Home
Administration (FmHA), which was
reorganized by the Department of
Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994
(Pub. L. 103–354) into the Farm Service
Agency (FSA), Rural BusinessCooperative Service, Rural Housing
Service and Rural Utilities Service.
Since the reorganization, FSA revised
its regulations to streamline them and
separate them from the other successor
agencies. FSA’s regulations regarding
employee conflicts of interest are now
found in regulations published by the
Office of Government Ethics (OGE) in 5
CFR part 2635 and regulations
published jointly by OGE and FSA in 5
CFR part 8301. To avoid confusion
regarding applicability of the
regulations, this rule amends 7 CFR part
1900, subpart D to provide specifically
that they do not apply to FSA.

Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an
existing airworthiness directive (AD),
which applies to certain Bombardier
Model CL–600–2C10 (Regional Jet
Series 700 and 701) and CL–600–2D24
(Regional Jet Series 900) series
airplanes. That AD currently requires
repetitive detailed inspections for
cracking or deformation, or pulled or
missing fasteners, on the lower panel of
the left- and right-hand main landing
gear (MLG) doors, as applicable, and
corrective actions if necessary. This new
AD reduces the repetitive inspection
interval for certain airplanes. This new
AD also adds airplanes to the
applicability. This AD results from a
report of a MLG door departing from an
airplane. We are issuing this AD to
prevent failure of the lower panel of the
MLG door, departure of the lower panel
from the airplane, and consequent
damage to airplane structure, which
could adversely affect the airplane’s
continued safe flight and landing.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
August 15, 2006.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in the AD
as of August 15, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Examining the Docket
You may examine the airworthiness
directive (AD) docket on the Internet at

ADDRESSES section.
Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that
supersedes AD 2003–19–51, amendment
39–13353 (68 FR 61615, October 29,
2003). The existing AD applies to
certain Bombardier Model CL–600–
2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700 and 701)
and CL–600–2D24 (Regional Jet Series
900) series airplanes (originally issued
September 17, 2003, as an emergency
airworthiness directive). That NPRM
was published in the Federal Register
on March 7, 2006 (71 FR 11335). That
NPRM proposed to continue to require
repetitive detailed inspections for
cracking or deformation, or pulled or
missing fasteners, on the lower panel of
the left- and right-hand main landing
gear (MLG) doors, as applicable, and
corrective actions if necessary. That
NPRM also proposed to reduce the
repetitive inspection interval for certain
airplanes and to add airplanes to the
applicability.
A01 of the CRJ 700/900 Series Regional
Jet Aircraft Maintenance Manual is one
approved method.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. No comments
have been received on the NPRM or on
the determination of the cost to the
public.
We have carefully reviewed the
available data, and determined that air
safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD with the changes
described previously. We have
determined that these changes will
neither increase the economic burden
on any operator nor increase the scope
of the AD.
Revision of Corrective Action
Paragraph (i)(2)
We have revised paragraph (i)(2) of
this AD to specify that the replacement
be done in accordance with a method
approved by the Manager, New York
Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
FAA; or Transport Canada Civil
Aviation (TCCA) (or its delegated agent),
and that doing the replacement in
accordance with Task Cards 32–12–01–
000–801–A01 and 32–12–01–400–801–
Clarification of Paragraph (k)
Requirements
We have revised paragraph (k) of this
AD to clarify that inspections must be
done on installed door(s) that have
previously been inspected in
accordance with paragraph (g).
Clarification of AFM Reference
We have revised the AFM reference
specified in paragraphs (m)(2)(i) and
(m)(2)(ii) of this AD.
Conclusion
Interim Action
We consider this AD interim action. If
final action is later identified, we may
consider further rulemaking then.
Costs of Compliance
The following table provides the
estimated costs for U.S. operators to
comply with this AD. This affects about
213 airplanes of U.S. registry.

Title 49 of the United States Code
specifies the FAA’s authority to issue
rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I,
Section 106, describes the authority of
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the Agency’s
authority.
We are issuing this rulemaking under
the authority described in Subtitle VII,
Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701,
‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that
section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in
air commerce by prescribing regulations

the Administrator finds necessary for
safety in air commerce. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority
because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on
products identified in this rulemaking
action.
Regulatory Findings
We have determined that this AD will
not have federalism implications under
Executive Order 13132. This AD will
not have a substantial direct effect on
the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.

For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that this AD:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
(3) Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Disclosure of Return Information by
Certain Officers and Employees for
Investigative Purposes
Internal Revenue Service (IRS),
Treasury.
ACTION: Final regulations and removal of
temporary regulations.
AGENCY:
rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES1
SUMMARY: This document contains final
regulations relating to the disclosure of
return information pursuant to section
6103(k)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code
(Code). The final regulations describe
the circumstances under which Internal
Revenue and Office of Treasury
Inspector General for Tax
Administration (TIGTA) employees may
disclose return information to the extent
necessary to obtain information or to
accomplish properly any activity
connected with certain official duties.
These regulations clarify and elaborate
on the facts and circumstances in which
disclosure pursuant to section
6103(k)(6) is authorized.
DATES: Effective Date: These regulations
are effective July 11, 2006.
Applicability Date: For dates of
applicability, see § 301.6103(k)(6)–1(e).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Helene R. Newsome, 202–622–4570 (not
a toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under section 6103(a), returns and
return information are confidential
unless the Code authorizes disclosure.
Section 6103(k)(6) authorizes an
internal revenue officer or employee
and an officer or employee of TIGTA, in
connection with official duties relating
to any audit, collection activity, civil or
criminal tax investigation, or offense
under the internal revenue laws, to
disclose return information to a person
other than the taxpayer to whom such
return information relates (or his or her
representative) to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary to obtain
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
information not otherwise reasonably
available with respect to the correct
determination of tax, liability for tax, or
the amount to be collected, or with
respect to the enforcement of any other
provision of the Code or related statutes.
Disclosure depends on situations and
conditions prescribed by regulation.
On July 10, 2003, temporary
regulations (TD 9073) under section
6103(k)(6) were published in the
Federal Register (68 FR 41073). A
notice of proposed rulemaking (REG–
140808–02) cross-referencing the
temporary regulations was published in
the Federal Register for the same day
(68 FR 41089).
These regulations reflected a
legislative amendment to section
6103(k)(6) clarifying that officers or
employees of TIGTA are among those
individuals authorized to make
disclosures under section 6103(k)(6).
See Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2001, Public Law 106–554 (114 Stat.
2763), section 1 enacting H.R. 5662,
Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of
2000, section 313(c).
These regulations also clarified the
standard for determining whether
disclosures are authorized under section
6103(k)(6). In particular, the regulations
addressed the issues surrounding the
disclosures that occur when internal
revenue or TIGTA employees introduce
themselves to third party witnesses or
communicate in writing, e.g., using
official letterhead that reveals affiliation
with the IRS or TIGTA. The regulations
also clarified that section 6103(k)(6)
does not limit internal revenue or
TIGTA employees with respect to the
initiation or conduct of an investigation.
Finally, the regulations clarified that
section 6103 does not require internal
revenue and TIGTA employees to
contact a taxpayer for information
before contacting third party witnesses.
No comments were received from the
public in response to the notice of
proposed rulemaking. No public hearing
was requested or held. In this Treasury
decision, the proposed regulations are
adopted as revised below.
Explanation of Revisions
The proposed and temporary
regulations provide that internal
revenue and TIGTA employees may
identify themselves, their organizational
affiliation, and the nature of their
investigation, when making an oral,
written, or electronic contact with a
third party witness through the use and
presentation of any identification media
(including, but not limited to, a Federal
agency badge, credential, or business
card) or through the use of an
information document request,
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
38985
summons, or correspondence on Federal
agency letterhead or which bears a
return address or signature block that
reveals affiliation with the Federal
agency. In the final regulations,
§ 301.6103(k)(6)–1(a)(3) has been
revised to make clear that internal
revenue and TIGTA employees may
identify themselves, their organizational
affiliation, and the nature of their
investigation, when making any oral,
written, or electronic contact with a
third party witness, not just when
making a contact with a third party
witness through the use and
presentation of identification media, or
through the use of an information
document request, summons, or
correspondence. This revision is
intended as a clarification rather than a
change in the effect of the regulations.
The proposed and temporary
regulations define the term disclosure of
return information to the extent
necessary. The fourth sentence of
§ 301.6103(k)(6)–1(c)(1) states that
section 6103(k)(6) does not limit or
restrict IRS or TIGTA officers and
employees with respect to initiating or
conducting an investigation. The final
regulations revise this sentence to
clarify that section 6103(k)(6) applies to
all internal revenue officers and
employees, not just IRS officers and
employees. There are individuals, in
addition to IRS officers and employees,
who are internal revenue officers and
employees because they are responsible
for administering and enforcing certain
tax administration provisions. This
revision is intended as a clarification
rather than a change in the effect of the
regulations.
The proposed and temporary
regulations define the term internal
revenue employee as an officer or
employee of the IRS or Office of Chief
Counsel for the IRS. The final
regulations add a phrase to
§ 301.6103(k)(6)–1(c)(4) to encompass
individuals responsible for
administering and enforcing certain tax
administration provisions who are not
officers and employees of the IRS or the
Office of Chief Counsel for the IRS.
Pursuant to the duties and powers
established by the Homeland Security
Act of 2002, Public Law 107–296,
section 1111 et seq., (116 Stat. 2135
(2002)), the Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)
in the Department of the Treasury has
the responsibility for administering and
enforcing the taxes under Chapters 32
(Part III of Subchapter D), 51, and 52 of
the Code, and the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
(ATF) in the Department of Justice has
the responsibility for administering and
enforcing the taxes under Chapter 53 of

Amendment 39-14676; AD 2006-14-05]
RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional
Jet Series 700, 701, and 702) Airplanes, Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional
Jet Series 705) Airplanes, and Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series
900) Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive
(AD), which applies to certain Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional
Jet Series 700 and 701) and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900)
series airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive detailed
inspections for cracking or deformation, or pulled or missing
fasteners, on the lower panel of the left- and right-hand main landing
gear (MLG) doors, as applicable, and corrective actions if necessary.
This new AD reduces the repetitive inspection interval for certain
airplanes. This new AD also adds airplanes to the applicability. This
AD results from a report of a MLG door departing from an airplane. We
are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the lower panel of the MLG
door, departure of the lower panel from the airplane, and consequent
damage to airplane structure, which could adversely affect the
airplane's continued safe flight and landing.
DATES: This AD becomes effective August 15, 2006.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of August 15,
2006.
ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Examining the Docket
You may examine the airworthiness directive (AD) docket on the
Internet at https://dms.dot.gov or in person at the Docket Management
Facility office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays. The Docket Management Facility office
(telephone (800) 647-5227) is located on the plaza level of the Nassif
Building at the street address stated in the ADDRESSES section.
Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that supersedes AD 2003-19-51, amendment
39-13353 (68 FR 61615, October 29, 2003). The existing AD applies to
certain Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700 and 701)
and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) series airplanes (originally
issued September 17, 2003, as an emergency airworthiness directive).
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 7, 2006 (71 FR
11335). That NPRM proposed to continue to require repetitive detailed
inspections for cracking or deformation, or pulled or missing
fasteners, on the lower panel of the left- and right-hand main landing
gear (MLG) doors, as applicable, and corrective actions if necessary.
That NPRM also proposed to reduce the repetitive inspection interval
for certain airplanes and to add airplanes to the applicability.
Comments
We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. No comments have been received on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.
Revision of Corrective Action Paragraph (i)(2)
We have revised paragraph (i)(2) of this AD to specify that the
replacement be done in accordance with a method approved by the
Manager, New York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA; or
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) (or its delegated agent), and
that doing the replacement in accordance with Task Cards 32-12-01-000-
801-A01 and 32-12-01-400-801-A01 of the CRJ 700/900 Series Regional Jet
Aircraft Maintenance Manual is one approved method.
Clarification of Paragraph (k) Requirements
We have revised paragraph (k) of this AD to clarify that
inspections must be done on installed door(s) that have previously been
inspected in accordance with paragraph (g).
Clarification of AFM Reference
We have revised the AFM reference specified in paragraphs (m)(2)(i)
and (m)(2)(ii) of this AD.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the available data, and determined that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD with the
changes described previously. We have determined that these changes
will neither increase the economic burden on any operator nor increase
the scope of the AD.
Interim Action
We consider this AD interim action. If final action is later
identified, we may consider further rulemaking then.
Costs of Compliance
The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators
to comply with this AD. This affects about 213 airplanes of U.S.
registry.

Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
Regulatory Findings
We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
(2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
(3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.
