Soybean Promotion and Research:
Amend the Order to Adjust
Representation on the United Soybean
Board
Agricultural Marketing Service,
USDA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This proposed rule would
adjust the number of members for
certain States on the United Soybean
Board (Board) to reflect changes in
production levels that have occurred
since the Board was reapportioned in
2003, which became effective with 2004
nominations. These adjustments are
required by the Soybean Promotion and
Research Order (Order) and would
result in an increase in Board
membership from 64 to 68 effective with
the Secretary’s 2007 nominations and
appointments.
Written comments must be
received by August 23, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Send any written comments
to Kenneth R. Payne, Chief; Marketing
Programs Branch; Livestock and Seed
Program; Agricultural Marketing Service
(AMS), USDA, Room 2638–S; STOP

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Executive Order 12866
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has waived the review process
required by Executive Order 12866 for
this action.
Executive Order 12988
This rule was reviewed under
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform. It is not intended to have a
retroactive effect. This rule would not
preempt any State or local laws,
regulations, or policies unless they
present an irreconcilable conflict with
this rule.
The Soybean Promotion, Research,
and Consumer Information Act (Act)
provides that administrative
proceedings must be exhausted before
parties may file suit in court. Under
§ 1971 of the Act, a person subject to the
Order may file a petition with the
Secretary stating that the Order, any
provision of the Order, or any obligation
imposed in connection with the Order,
is not in accordance with law and
requesting a modification of the Order
or an exemption from the Order. The
petitioner is afforded the opportunity
for a hearing on the petition. After a
hearing, the Secretary would rule on the
petition. The Act provides that the
district courts of the United States in
any district in which such person is an
inhabitant, or has his principal place of
business, has jurisdiction to review the
Secretary’s ruling on the petition, if a
complaint for this purpose is filed
within 20 days after the date of the entry
of the ruling.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Agricultural Marketing Service
has determined that this rule will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities as
defined by the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), because it
only adjusts representation on the Board
to reflect changes in production levels
that have occurred since the Board was
reapportioned in 2003. The purpose of
the RFA is to fit regulatory actions to the
scale of businesses subject to such
actions in order that small businesses
will not be unduly burdened. As such,
these changes will not impact on
persons subject to the program.
There are an estimated 663,800
soybean producers and an estimated
10,000 first purchasers who collect the
assessment, most of whom would be
considered small entities under the
criteria established by the Small
Business Administration (13 CFR
121.601).
Paperwork Reduction Act
In accordance with OMB regulations
[5 CFR part 1320] that implement the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 [44
U.S. C. Chapter 35], the information
collection and recordkeeping
requirements contained in the Order
and Rules and Regulations have
previously been approved by OMB
under OMB control number 0581–0093.
Background and Proposed Changes
The Act (7 U.S.C. 6301–6311)
provides for the establishment of a
coordinated program of promotion and
research designed to strengthen the
soybean industry’s position in the
marketplace, and to maintain and
expand domestic and foreign markets
and uses for soybeans and soybean
products. The program is financed by an
assessment of 0.5 percent of the net
market price of soybeans sold by
producers. Pursuant to the Act, an Order
was made effective July 9, 1991. The
Order established a Board of 60
members. For purposes of establishing
the Board, the United States was
divided into 31 geographic units.
Representation on the Board from each
unit was determined by the level of
production in each unit. The Secretary
appointed the initial Board on July 11,
1991. The Board is composed of
soybean producers.
Section 1220.201(c) of the Order
provides that at the end of each three (3)
year period, the Board shall review
soybean production levels in the
geographic units throughout the United
States. The Board may recommend to
the Secretary modification in the levels
of production necessary for Board
membership for each unit.
Section 1220.201(d) of the Order
provides that at the end of each three (3)
year period, the Secretary must review
the volume of production of each unit
and adjust the boundaries of any unit
and the number of Board members from
each such unit as necessary to conform
with the criteria set forth in
§ 1220.201(e): (1) To the extent
practicable, States with annual average
soybean production of less than
3,000,000 bushels shall be grouped into
geographically contiguous units, each of
which has a combined production level
equal to or greater than 3,000,000
bushels, and each such group shall be
entitled to at least one member on the
Board; (2) units with at least 3,000,000
bushels, but fewer than 15,000,000
bushels shall be entitled to one board
member; (3) units with 15,000,000
bushels or more but fewer than
70,000,000 bushels shall be entitled to
two Board members; (4) units with
70,000,000 bushels or more but fewer
than 200,000,000 bushels shall be
entitled to three Board members; and (5)
units with 200,000,000 bushels or more
shall be entitled to four Board members.
Proposed representation on the Board,
which would be 68 members, is based
on average production levels for the
years 2001–2005 (excluding the crops in
years in which production was the
highest and in which production was
the lowest) as reported by the
Department of Agriculture’s National
Agricultural Statistics Service in the
‘‘Crop Production 2005 Summary’’,
which was published in January 2006.
The number of geographical units
would remain at 30. As a result of
Florida recently being decertified as a
Qualified State Soybean Board, Florida
will become a part of the Eastern
Region.
This proposed rule would adjust
representation on the Board as follows:

SUMMARY: The FAA withdraws a notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that
proposed a new airworthiness directive
(AD) for certain Airbus Model A310–
200 and –300 series airplanes. The
proposed AD would have required
repetitive inspections for cracks and
corrosion of the areas behind the scuff
plates below the passenger/crew doors
and bulk cargo door, and repair of any
cracked or corroded part. The proposed
AD also would have required repetitive
inspections for cracks of the holes of the
corner doublers, the fail-safe ring, and
the door frames of the passenger/crew
door structures. Since the proposed AD
was issued, we have determined that
that the proposed inspections and
terminating action are essentially
identical to those of another existing
AD. Accordingly, the proposed AD is
withdrawn.
You may examine the 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We proposed to amend part 39 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
part 39) with a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) for a new AD for
certain Airbus Model A310–200 and
–300 series airplanes. That NPRM was
published in the Federal Register on
November 21, 2005 (70 FR 70048). The
NPRM would have required repetitive
inspections for cracks and corrosion of
the areas behind the scuff plates below
the passenger/crew doors and bulk
cargo door, and repair of any cracked or
corroded part. The NPRM also would
have required repetitive inspections for
cracks of the holes of the corner
doublers, the fail-safe ring, and the door
frames of the passenger/crew door
structures. The NPRM resulted from
reports of corrosion behind the scuff
plates at passenger/crew doors and the
bulk cargo door and fatigue cracks on
the corner doublers of the forward and
aft passenger/crew door frames. The
proposed actions were intended to
prevent such corrosion and fatigue
cracking, which could result in reduced
structural integrity of the door
surroundings.
Actions Since NPRM Was Issued
Since we issued the NPRM, we
realized that we had previously issued
AD 98–16–06, amendment 39–10682 (63
FR 40819, July 31, 1998), for all Airbus
Model A310 series airplanes. That AD
requires inspections of the lower door
surrounding structure to detect cracks
and corrosion, and repair if necessary.
That AD also requires inspections to
detect cracking of the holes of the corner
doublers, the fail-safe ring, and the door
frames of the door structures; and repair
if necessary. In addition, that AD also
provides for an optional terminating
action for certain inspections.
FAA’s Conclusions
Upon further consideration, we have
determined that the inspections and
terminating action in AD 98–16–06 are
essentially identical to those specified
in the NPRM. We are considering
superseding AD 98–16–06 to mandate
the optional terminating action and refer
to the latest service information.
Accordingly, the NPRM is withdrawn.
Regulatory Impact
Since this action only withdraws an
NPRM, it is neither a proposed nor a
final rule and therefore is not covered
under Executive Order 12866, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Executive Order 12866
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has waived the review
process required by Executive Order 12866 for this action.
Executive Order 12988
This rule was reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform. It is not intended to have a retroactive effect. This rule
would not preempt any State or local laws, regulations, or policies
unless they present an irreconcilable conflict with this rule.
The Soybean Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act (Act)
provides that administrative proceedings must be exhausted before
parties may file suit in court. Under Sec. 1971 of the Act, a person
subject to the Order may file a petition with the Secretary stating
that the Order, any provision of the Order, or any obligation imposed
in connection with the Order, is not in accordance with law and
requesting a modification of the Order or an exemption from the Order.
The petitioner is afforded the opportunity for a hearing on the
petition. After a hearing, the Secretary would rule on the petition.
The Act provides that the district courts of the United States in any
district in which such person is an inhabitant, or has his principal
place of business, has jurisdiction to review the Secretary's ruling on
the petition, if a complaint for this purpose is filed within 20 days
after the date of the entry of the ruling.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Agricultural Marketing Service has determined that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
601 et seq.), because it only adjusts representation on the Board to
reflect changes in production levels that have occurred since the Board
was reapportioned in 2003. The purpose of the RFA is to fit regulatory
actions to the scale of businesses subject to such actions in order
that small businesses will not be unduly burdened. As such, these
changes will not impact on persons subject to the program.
There are an estimated 663,800 soybean producers and an estimated
10,000 first purchasers who collect the assessment, most of whom would
be considered small entities under the criteria established by the
Small Business Administration (13 CFR 121.601).
Paperwork Reduction Act
In accordance with OMB regulations [5 CFR part 1320] that implement
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 [44 U.S. C. Chapter 35], the
information collection and recordkeeping requirements contained in the
Order and Rules and Regulations have previously been approved by OMB
under OMB control number 0581-0093.
Background and Proposed Changes
The Act (7 U.S.C. 6301-6311) provides for the establishment of a
coordinated program of promotion and research designed to strengthen
the soybean industry's position in the marketplace, and to maintain and
expand domestic and foreign markets and uses for soybeans and soybean
products. The program is financed by an assessment of 0.5 percent of
the net market price of soybeans sold by producers. Pursuant to the
Act, an Order was made effective July 9, 1991. The Order established a
Board of 60 members. For purposes of establishing the Board, the United
States was divided into 31 geographic units. Representation on the
Board from each unit was determined by the level of production in each
unit. The Secretary appointed the initial Board on July 11, 1991. The
Board is composed of soybean producers.
Section 1220.201(c) of the Order provides that at the end of each
three (3) year period, the Board shall review soybean production levels
in the geographic units throughout the United States. The Board may
recommend to the Secretary modification in the levels of production
necessary for Board membership for each unit.
Section 1220.201(d) of the Order provides that at the end of each
three (3) year period, the Secretary must review the volume of
production of each unit and adjust the boundaries of any unit and the
number of Board members from each such unit as necessary to conform
with the criteria set forth in Sec. 1220.201(e): (1) To the extent
practicable, States with annual average soybean production of less than
3,000,000 bushels shall be grouped into geographically contiguous
units, each of which has a combined production level equal to or
greater than 3,000,000 bushels, and each such group shall be entitled
to at least one member on the Board; (2) units with at least 3,000,000
bushels, but fewer than 15,000,000 bushels shall be entitled to one
board member; (3) units with 15,000,000 bushels or more but fewer than
70,000,000 bushels shall be entitled to two Board members; (4) units
with 70,000,000 bushels or more but fewer than 200,000,000 bushels
shall be entitled to three Board members; and (5) units with
200,000,000 bushels or more shall be entitled to four Board members.
Proposed representation on the Board, which would be 68 members, is
based on average production levels for the years 2001-2005 (excluding
the crops in years in which production was the highest and in which
production was the lowest) as reported by the Department of
Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service in the ``Crop
Production 2005 Summary'', which was published in January 2006.
The number of geographical units would remain at 30. As a result of
Florida recently being decertified as a Qualified State Soybean Board,
Florida will become a part of the Eastern Region.
This proposed rule would adjust representation on the Board as
follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Board adjustments as proposed by this rulemaking would become
