Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model MD-11 and -11F Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all McDonnell Douglas Model MD-11 and -11F airplanes. This proposed AD would require revising the maintenance inspection program that provides for inspection of principal structural elements (PSEs) and replacement of safe-life parts, to incorporate a new revision to the MD-11 Airworthiness Limitations Instructions. The revision would reduce inspection intervals for fatigue cracking of certain PSEs, and expand the inspection area for a certain other PSE. This proposed AD results from a revised damage tolerance analysis. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking of certain PSEs, which could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.

Control of Air Pollution From New Motor Vehicles; Second Amendment to the Tier 2/Gasoline Sulfur Regulations
This action amends the credit generation provisions of the Geographic Phase-in Area (GPA) gasoline sulfur program to yield the correct number of credits for refineries and importers that produce GPA gasoline and eliminate the generation of windfall credits by refineries or importers that have gasoline sulfur baselines below 150 ppm sulfur. In June 2002, we published a Direct Final Rule (DFR) and concurrent Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to amend certain provisions of the gasoline sulfur program concerning Geographic Phase-in Area (GPA) gasoline. Specifically, we replaced the variable standard for GPA gasoline with a flat standard of 150 parts per million (ppm) sulfur for the duration of the GPA program. To prevent the generation of windfall credits by refineries or importers that had gasoline sulfur baselines below 150 ppm sulfur, we also amended the program's credit generation provisions. As stated in the preamble to the Direct Final Rule, we believed that the amendment would result in an equivalent number of credits generated during the amended GPA program as compared to the original program described under the Tier 2 final rule. Despite our intent for the revised calculations to yield the equivalent number of credits, the amended credit provisions were incorrect as pointed out by an adverse comment received on the DFR. Based on this adverse comment, we issued a partial withdrawal notice on August 26, 2002, to withdraw the amendments to the credit provisions and reinstate the provisions that were previously in effect. However, we also stated that we would address the adverse comments in a subsequent final action, this action, based on the concurrent NPRM.

Termination of the Designation of Liberia for Temporary Protected Status; Automatic Extension of Employment Authorization Documentation for Liberia TPS Beneficiaries
Following a review of country conditions and consultations with the appropriate Government agencies, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has determined that the temporary protected status (TPS) designation of Liberia should be terminated. This termination will not take effect until October 1, 2007, to provide for an orderly transition. This Notice informs the public of the termination of the Liberia TPS designation and sets forth procedures for nationals of Liberia (or aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Liberia) with TPS to re-register for TPS benefits. Re-registration is limited to persons who have previously registered for TPS under the designation of Liberia and whose application was granted or remains pending. Liberians (or aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Liberia) who have not previously been granted TPS, or who do not already have a pending application for TPS under the designation for Liberia, may not file under late initial filing provisions. Late initial filings (LIFs) are only allowed during an extension of a designation of TPS. Given the timeframes involved with processing TPS re-registrants, DHS recognizes that re-registrants might not receive a new EAD until after their current EAD expires on October 1, 2006. Accordingly, this Notice automatically extends the validity of EADs issued under the designation of TPS for Liberia for six months through April 1, 2007, and explains how TPS beneficiaries and their employers may determine which EADs are automatically extended. New EADs with an expiration date of September 30, 2007, will be issued to eligible TPS beneficiaries who timely re-register and apply for an EAD.
