Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 105 / Friday, June 1, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
B. Solicitation of Comments Regarding
the Use of Plain Language
Section 722 of GLBA requires federal
banking agencies to use ‘‘plain
language’’ in all proposed and final
rules published after January 1, 2000.
OTS believes the interim final rule
change is presented in a simple and
straightforward manner.
III. Regulatory Findings
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
A. Advance Notice and Public Comment
Section 553 of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) provides that
notice and comment procedures are not
required when an agency finds that
notice and public procedure are
impracticable, unnecessary or contrary
to the public interest. 5 U.S.C. 553. The
original rule was intended to track the
SEC rule. Subsequently the SEC
changed the filing requirement from 10
to 30 days. It is appropriate for OTS to
change its rule to conform to the SEC
rule. No additional substantive burden
is being added by this action, and the
revision reduces regulatory burden by
providing a longer period of time to file
the required report. Accordingly, OTS
finds that prior notice and public
comment are unnecessary because the
rule conforms OTS’s regulation to the
SEC’s rules, and does not alter any
substantive requirements.
Although OTS has concluded that
public notice and comment are not
required for this interim final rule, it
invites comments during the 60-day
period following publication. In
developing a final rule, OTS will
consider all public comments it receives
within that period.
B. Effective Date
Under section 553(d) of the APA, a
rule may not be effective until 30 days
after its publication.5 This provision,
however, does not apply where the
agency finds good cause for making the
rule effective immediately. For the
reasons set forth above, and because the
rule reduces regulatory burden, OTS
finds that there is good cause for making
this rule effective immediately.
Section 302 of the Riegle Community
Development and Regulatory
Improvement Act of 1994 (CDRIA) 6
requires that new regulations and
amendments to existing regulations take
effect on the first day of a calendar
quarter that begins on or after the date
of publication of the rule. This delayed
effective date provision, however,
applies only if the rule imposes
additional reporting, disclosure, or other

new requirements on insured depository
institutions. This rule imposes no
additional reporting, disclosure or other
requirements on any insured depository
institution. Section 302 is inapplicable.

PART 551—RECORDKEEPING AND
CONFIRMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
1. The authority citation for 12 CFR
part 551 continues to read as follows:
I
Authority: 12 U.S.C. 1462a, 1463, 1464.
OTS has determined that this interim
final rule does not involve a change to
collections of information previously
approved under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

By the Office of Thrift Supervision.
John M. Reich,
Director.
[FR Doc. E7–10401 Filed 5–31–07; 8:45 am]
The Director of OTS has determined
that this interim final rule does not
constitute a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ for purposes of Executive Order
12866.
2. Amend § 551.150(a) by removing
the phrase ‘‘within ten business’’ and
adding the phrase ‘‘no later than 30

BILLING CODE 6720–01–P
E. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Pursuant to section 605(b) of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5
U.S.C. 601), the Director certifies that
this interim final rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The interim final rule would conform
OTS rules to SEC rules and give affected
officers and employees additional time
to file certain required reports.
Accordingly, OTS has determined that a
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is not
required.
F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995
OTS has determined that the
proposed rule will not result in
expenditures by state, local, or tribal
governments or by the private sector of
$100 million or more and that a
budgetary impact statement is not
required under Section 202 of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995, Pub. L. 104–4 (Unfunded
Mandates Act). The interim final rule
would conform OTS rules to SEC rules
and give affected officers and employees
additional time to file certain required
reports. The change should not have a
significant impact on small institutions.
Accordingly, a budgetary impact
statement is not required under section
202 of the Unfunded Mandates Act.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an
existing airworthiness directive (AD),
which applies to certain Cessna Model
500, 550, S550, 560, 560XL, and 750
airplanes. That AD currently requires
installing identification sleeves on the
wires for the positive and negative
terminal studs of the engine and/or
auxiliary power unit (APU) fire
extinguishing bottles, as applicable, and
re-connecting the wires to the correct
terminal studs. This new AD retains the
requirements of the existing AD; adds
airplanes to the applicability; and, for
certain airplanes only, requires a review
of wiring changes made using the
original issue of one service bulletin and
corrective actions if necessary. This AD
results from a determination that
additional airplanes are subject to the
unsafe condition described in the
existing AD. We are issuing this AD to
ensure that the fire extinguishing bottles
are activated in the event of an engine
or APU fire, and that flammable fluids
are not supplied during a fire, which
could result in an unextinguished fire in
the nacelle or APU.

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 2006–04–10, amendment
39–14491 (71 FR 8443, February 17,
2006). The existing AD applies to
certain Cessna Model 500, 550, S550,
560, 560XL, and 750 airplanes. That
NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on February 15, 2007 (72 FR
7357). That NPRM proposed to require
installing identification sleeves on the
wires for the positive and negative
terminal studs of the engine and/or
auxiliary power unit fire extinguishing
bottles, as applicable, and re-connecting
the wires to the correct terminal studs.
That NPRM also proposed to retain the
requirements of the existing AD; add
airplanes to the applicability; and, for
certain airplanes only, require a review
of wiring changes made using the
original issue of one service bulletin and
corrective actions if necessary.
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.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the
available data and determined that air
safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD as proposed.
Costs of Compliance
There are about 3,801 airplanes of the
affected design in the worldwide fleet,
including about 3,071 airplanes of U.S.
Registry. The following table provides
the estimated costs for U.S. operators to
comply with this AD, at an average
labor rate of $80 per work hour.

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

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:

action’’ under Executive Order 12866;

proposed rule. No public meeting was
requested, and none was held.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date
would be contrary to the public interest,
since immediate action is needed to
ensure the safety of the event
participants, spectator craft and other
vessels transiting the event area.
However advance notifications will be
made to affected waterway users via
marine information broadcasts, local
radio stations and area newspapers.
Background and Purpose
On June 9 and 10, 2007, the Virginia
Boat Racing Association will sponsor
the ‘‘Carolina Cup Regatta’’, on the
waters of the Pasquotank River. The
event will consist of approximately 60
inboard hydroplanes racing in heats
counter clockwise around an oval race
course. A fleet of spectator vessels is
anticipated to gather nearby to view the
competition. Due to the need for vessel
control during the event, vessel traffic
will be temporarily restricted to provide

14 CFR Part 39
[Docket No. FAA-2007-27258; Directorate Identifier 2006-NM-213-AD;
Amendment 39-15074; AD 2007-11-17]
RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Model 500, 501, 550, 551, S550,
560, 560XL, and 750 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 Cessna Model 500, 550, S550, 560, 560XL,
and 750 airplanes. That AD currently requires installing identification
sleeves on the wires for the positive and negative terminal studs of
the engine and/or auxiliary power unit (APU) fire extinguishing
bottles, as applicable, and re-connecting the wires to the correct
terminal studs. This new AD retains the requirements of the existing
AD; adds airplanes to the applicability; and, for certain airplanes
only, requires a review of wiring changes made using the original issue
of one service bulletin and corrective actions if necessary. This AD
results from a determination that additional airplanes are subject to
the unsafe condition described in the existing AD. We are issuing this
AD to ensure that the fire extinguishing bottles are activated in the
event of an engine or APU fire, and that flammable fluids are not
supplied during a fire, which could result in an unextinguished fire in
the nacelle or APU.
[[Page 30475]]
DATES: This AD becomes effective July 6, 2007.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of July 6, 2007.
On March 24, 2006 (71 FR 8443, February 17, 2006), the Director of
the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain
other publications listed in the AD.

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 2006-04-10, amendment
39-14491 (71 FR 8443, February 17, 2006). The existing AD applies to
certain Cessna Model 500, 550, S550, 560, 560XL, and 750 airplanes.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on February 15, 2007
(72 FR 7357). That NPRM proposed to require installing identification
sleeves on the wires for the positive and negative terminal studs of
the engine and/or auxiliary power unit fire extinguishing bottles, as
applicable, and re-connecting the wires to the correct terminal studs.
That NPRM also proposed to retain the requirements of the existing AD;
add airplanes to the applicability; and, for certain airplanes only,
require a review of wiring changes made using the original issue of one
service bulletin and corrective actions if necessary.
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.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.
Costs of Compliance
There are about 3,801 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet, including about 3,071 airplanes of U.S. Registry. The
following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators to
comply with this AD, at an average labor rate of $80 per work hour.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
