The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations by revising the Holtec International HI-STORM 100 cask system listing within the ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 3 to Certificate of Compliance Number 1014. Amendment No. 3 revises Technical Specification (TS) 3.1.3, to eliminate cooling of the Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC) cavity prior to reflood with water, as part of cask unloading operations; TS 3.3.1, to allow linear interpolation between minimal soluble boron concentrations, for certain fuel enrichments in the MPC-32/32F; Appendix B, Section 1 to the CoC, to make modifications to the definitions of fuel debris, damaged fuel assembly, and non-fuel hardware; and Appendix B, Section 2 to the CoC, to permit the storage of pressurized water reactor fuel assemblies with annular fuel pellets in the top and bottom 12 inches of the active fuel length. Other changes are made to incorporate minor editorial corrections. This final rule allows the holders of power reactor operating licenses to store spent fuel in this approved cask in accordance with the revised conditions, under the NRC's general license provisions.

This final rule establishes the 2007 second and third trimester seasons commercial quotas for large coastal sharks (LCS), small coastal sharks (SCS), and pelagic sharks based on over- or underharvests from the 2006 second and third trimester seasons. In addition, this rule finalizes the opening and closing dates for the LCS commercial fishery based on adjustments to the trimester quotas. The final rule also opens the existing mid-Atlantic shark closed area for two weeks at the end of July.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is proposing to amend Commission Regulation 3.10 to require certain registered intermediaries, i.e., futures commission merchants (``FCMs''), introducing brokers (``IBs''), commodity pool operators (``CPOs''), commodity trading advisors (``CTAs'') and leverage transaction merchants (``LTMs''), to complete an online annual review of their registration information maintained with the National Futures Association (``NFA''). The proposed amendment (``Proposed Amendment'') would ensure that NFA will have accurate and current information about such registrants. The Commission's proposal (``Proposal'') also includes a technical and conforming amendment to Commission Regulation 3.33(f), which regulation is cross-referenced in the Proposed Amendment.

We preliminarily determine that imports of lemon juice from Mexico are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value, as provided in section 733 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. In addition, we preliminarily determine that there is a reasonable basis to believe or suspect that critical circumstances exist with respect to the imports of lemon juice from Mexico for one respondent. Interested parties are invited to comment on this preliminary determination. We will make our final determination within 75 days after the date of this preliminary determination.

In response to a petition filed by Sunkist Growers, Inc. (Petitioner), the U.S. Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an antidumping duty investigation of sales to the United States of lemon juice from Argentina for the period July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. See Notice of Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigations: Lemon Juice from Argentina and Mexico, 71 FR 61710 (October 19, 2006) (Initiation Notice). The Department preliminarily determines that lemon juice from Argentina is being, or is likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV), as provided in section 733(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The estimated margins of sales at LTFV are listed in the ``Suspension of Liquidation'' section of this notice. Moreover, we preliminarily determine that critical circumstances exist with regard to imports of lemon juice from Argentina. See the ``Critical Circumstances'' section below. Interested parties are invited to comment on this preliminary determination.

The Fish and Wildlife Service is initiating 5-year reviews of the Southeastern beach mouse (Peromyscus polionotus niveiventris), rice rat (Oryzomys palustris natator), Florida salt marsh vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus dukecampbelli), Key Largo woodrat (Neotoma floridana smalli), Florida grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum floridanus), Atlantic salt marsh snake (Nerodia clarkii taeniata), Schaus swallowtail butterfly (Heraclides aristodemus ponceanus), Squirrel Chimney Cave shrimp (Palaemonetes cummingi), Florida bonamia (Bonamia grandiflora), pigeon wings (Clitoria fragrans), short-leaved rosemary (Conradina brevifolia), Rugel's pawpaw (Deeringothamnus rugelii), longspurred mint (Dicerandra cornutissima), Lakela's mint (Dicerandra immaculata), scrub buckwheat (Eriogonum longifolium var. gnaphalifolium), Telephus spurge (Euphorbia telephioides), Highlands scrub hypericum (Hypericum cumulicola), scrub lupine (Lupinus aridorum), papery whitlow-wort (Paronychia chartacea), Miccosukee gooseberry (Ribes echinellum), Cooley's meadowrue (Thalictrum cooleyi), and Carter's mustard (Warea carteri), under section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), as amended (Act). The purpose of reviews conducted under this section of the Act is to ensure that the classification of species as threatened or endangered on the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (50 CFR 17.11 and 17.12) is accurate. A 5-year review is an assessment of the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review.

Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 and 30 CFR Part 44 govern the application, processing, and disposition of petitions for modification.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Learjet Model 31, 31A, 35, 35A (C-21A), 36, 36A, 55, 55B, and 55C airplanes, and Model 45 airplanes. This proposed AD would require inspecting for unsealed gaps on the pylon side of the engine firewall and cleaning/sealing any unsealed gap; and, for certain airplanes, inspecting for unsealed gaps of the pylon trailing edge and cleaning/sealing any gap. This proposed AD results from a report that unsealed gaps (penetration points) of the engine firewall were discovered during production. We are proposing this AD to prevent penetration of flammable liquids or fire through the engine firewall into the engine pylon, which could lead to fire inside the airplane.

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

The FHWA will be issuing this notice to advise the public an EIS will be prepared for a proposed roadway project in Warren County, Iowa.
