ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) by adopting a new AD for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued 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 deterioration of the splines on the HP/LP pump assembly drive shaft may eventually interrupt fuel supply and cause uncommanded in-flight engine shutdown. The result may be an emergency autorotation landing or, at worst, an accident. Two cases of in-flight shutdown resulting from splines deterioration have been reported for the ARRIUS 2B1 engine, which has the same HP/LP pump drive design as the ARRIEL 2. These cases prompted us to require the inspection at 500 hours and each time the HMU is removed/installed. This AD modifies the content of the previous DGAC France AD F–2005–188 (EASA Approval Number 2005–6408) in adding a one time inspection within 30 E:\FR\FM\11MYR1.SGM 11MYR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The regulations in 7 CFR part 319 prohibit or restrict the 
importation of plants, plant parts, and related materials to prevent 
the introduction of plant pests into the United States. The regulations 
in ``Subpart--Nursery Stock, Plants, Roots, Bulbs, Seeds, and Other 
Plant Products,'' Sec. Sec.  319.37 through 319.37-14 (referred to 
below as the nursery stock regulations) restrict, among other things, 
the importation of living plants, plant parts, and seeds for 
propagation. Conditions governing the importation of cut flowers into 
the United States are contained in ``Subpart-Cut Flowers'' (Sec. Sec.  
319.74-1 through 319.74-4, referred to below as the cut flowers 
regulations).
    On April 3, 2007, we published in the Federal Register (72 FR 
15805-15812, Docket No. 03-016-3) a final rule amending the cut flowers 
regulations to establish specific requirements for the importation of 
cut flowers that are hosts of chrysanthemum white rust (CWR) from 
countries where the disease is known to occur. We also amended the 
nursery stock regulations to update lists of countries where CWR is 
known to occur. The final rule had an effective date of May 3, 2007.
    We recently received communications from industry representatives 
and the Government of Colombia expressing concern that the May 3, 2007, 
effective date of the final rule did not allow adequate time for those 
entities to prepare to comply with the new inspection and certification 
procedures that will be required under Sec.  319.74-2(d)(3) of the cut 
flowers regulations as a result of the final rule. A delay in the 
implementation of those new requirements was requested. After 
considering those requests, we have elected to allow an additional 30 
days for those entities to prepare to comply with those new 
requirements. To provide that additional time, we are staying Sec.  
319.74-2(d)(3) until June 2, 2007.
    We explained in the proposed rule that preceded our April 3, 2007, 
final rule, as well as in the final rule itself, that we have been 
administratively regulating cut flowers from countries where CWR is 
known to occur since 1974, and that those measures have been effective 
in preventing the introduction of CWR on cut flowers from those 
countries. During the time that Sec.  319.74-2(d)(3) is stayed, we will 
continue to apply our existing administrative restrictions on cut 
flowers from countries where CWR is known to occur.

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 450, 7701-7772, and 7781-7786; 21 U.S.C. 136 
and 136a; 7 CFR 2.22, 2.80, and 371.3.

    Done in Washington, DC, this 3rd day of May 2007.
