applicability and legal effect, most of which
are keyed to and codified in the Code of
Federal Regulations, which is published under
50 titles pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 1510.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Office of the Secretary
7 CFR Part 2
Revision of Delegations of Authority
Office of the Secretary.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
ACTION:
SUMMARY: This document delegates
authority from the Secretary of
Agriculture to the Director, Homeland
Security Staff (Director), designating the
Director as the Department official who
is responsible for providing personal
security protection to the Secretary and
the Deputy Secretary. Therefore, this
action revises the delegation of
authority from the Secretary to the
Inspector General to limit the
involvement of the Inspector General
with the personal security of the
Secretary and the Deputy Secretary.
This document also delegates authority
from the Secretary to the Under
Secretary for Natural Resources and
Environment (NRE) and to the Chief,
Forest Service, to assist the Director in
providing personal security protection
to the Secretary and the Deputy
Secretary in the National Forest System
(NFS).
DATES: Effective July 6, 2007.

Sheryl K. Maddux, Acting Director,
Homeland Security Office, USDA, (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
action concerns delegations of authority
regarding the personal security function
as it relates to the Secretary and the
Deputy Secretary. By way of reference,
the Secretary and the Deputy Secretary
are included in a protected class of
officials under 18 U.S.C. 351, which
criminalizes violent crimes committed
against the head of a department or the
second ranking official in such
department. Through this action, the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:11 Jul 05, 2007
Jkt 211001
Secretary delegates authority to the
Director to provide for the personal
security for the Secretary and the
Deputy Secretary. In addition, this
action revises the delegation of
authority from the Secretary to the
inspector General to provide that the
Inspector General retains the authority
to assist the Director in providing for the
personal security for the Secretary and
the Deputy Secretary, at the request of
the Director. In essence, this action
transfers the primary responsibility of
providing for the personal security for
the Secretary and the Deputy Secretary
from the Inspector General to the
Director.
This action also delegates authority
from the Secretary to the Under
Secretary for NRE and to the Chief,
Forest Service, to assist the Director in
performing the personal security
function in the NFS. At the request of
the Director, the Under Secretary for
NRE and the Chief, Forest Service, have
delegated authority to designate Forest
Service law enforcement personnel to
assist the Director in providing for the
personal security for the Secretary and
the Deputy Secretary in the NFS.
This rule relates to internal agency
management. Therefore, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553, notice of proposed rule
making and opportunity for comment
are not required. This rule may be made
effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register.
Further, this rule is exempt form the
provisions of Executive Order 12988
and Executive Orders 12866, amended
by Executive Order 13258, because it
relates to internal agency management.
In addition, this action is exempt from
the provisions of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
because it is not a rule as defined by that
statute. Finally, this action does not
require review by Congress because it is
not a rule as defined in 5 U.S.C. 804.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 6912(a)(1), 5 U.S.C.

Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (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:
SUMMARY:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
To prevent unchecked corrosion
developing on the wing spars due to access
for inspections being difficult under normal
maintenance practices, which could lead to
an unsafe condition and possibly a
catastrophic failure of the wing * * *
We are issuing this AD to require
actions to correct the unsafe condition
on these products.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
August 10, 2007.
On August 10, 2007, the Director of
the Federal Register approved the
incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the
public.
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.
Conclusion
Regulatory Findings
We reviewed the available data and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
as proposed.
We 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 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.
We issued a supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend
14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that
would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the
Federal Register on April 23, 2007 (72
FR 20070). That NPRM proposed to
correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:
To prevent unchecked corrosion
developing on the wing spars due to access
for inspections being difficult under normal
maintenance practices, which could lead to
an unsafe condition and possibly a
catastrophic failure of the wing * * *
Comments
Differences Between This AD and the
MCAI or Service Information
We have reviewed the MCAI and
related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But
we might have found it necessary to use
different words from those in the MCAI
to ensure the AD is clear for U.S.
operators and is enforceable. In making
these changes, we do not intend to differ
substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related
service information.
We might also have required different
actions in this AD from those in the
MCAI in order to follow FAA policies.
Any such differences are highlighted in
a NOTE within the AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect
10 products of U.S. registry. We also
estimate that it will take about 28 workhours per product to comply with basic
requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Based
on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD to the U.S. operators to be
$22,400 or $2,240 per product.
We have no way of determining the
number of products that may need any
necessary follow-on actions. Since the
corrosion damage would vary from
airplane to airplane, we are not able to
estimate the costs of each follow-on
action.

Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket on

Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the
