Dated: February 27, 2008. Lloyd C. Day, Administrator, Agricultural Marketing Service. Order Amending the Order Regulating the Handling of Almonds Grown in California 1 rmajette on PROD1PC64 with PROPOSALS Findings and determinations The findings and determinations hereinafter set forth are supplementary to the findings and determinations which were previously made in connection with the issuance of the marketing order; and all said previous findings and determinations are hereby ratified and affirmed, except insofar as such findings and determinations may be in conflict with the findings and determinations set forth herein. (a) Findings and Determinations Upon the Basis of the Hearing Record. Pursuant to the provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended (7 U.S.C. 601–612), and the applicable rules of practice and procedure effective thereunder (7 CFR part 900), a public hearing was held upon the proposed amendments to the Marketing Order No. 981 (7 CFR part 981), regulating the handling of almonds grown in California. Upon the basis of the evidence introduced at such hearing and the record thereof, it is found that: (1) The marketing order, as amended, and as hereby proposed to be further amended, and all of the terms and conditions thereof, would tend to effectuate the declared policy of the Act; (2) The marketing order, as amended, and as hereby proposed to be further amended, regulates the handling of almonds grown in the production area in the same manner as, and is applicable only to, persons in the respective classes of commercial and industrial activity specified in the marketing order upon which a hearing has been held; (3) The marketing order, as amended, and as hereby proposed to be further amended, is limited to its application to the smallest regional production area which is practicable, consistent with carrying out the declared policy of the Act, and the issuance of several orders applicable to subdivisions of the production area would not effectively carry out the declared policy of the Act; 1 This order shall not become effective unless and until the requirements of § 900.14 of the rules of practice and procedure governing proceedings to formulate marketing agreements and marketing orders have been met. VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:20 Feb 29, 2008 Jkt 214001 (4) The marketing order, as amended, and as hereby proposed to be further amended, prescribes, insofar as practicable, such different terms applicable to different parts of the production area as are necessary to give due recognition to the differences in the production and marketing of almonds grown in the production area; and (5) All handling of almonds grown in the production area as defined in the marketing order is in the current of interstate or foreign commerce or directly burdens, obstructs, or affects such commerce. Order Relative to Handling It is therefore ordered, That on and after the effective date hereof, all handling of almonds grown in California shall be in conformity to, and in compliance with, the terms and conditions of the said order as hereby proposed to be amended as follows: The provisions of the proposed marketing order amending the order contained in the Recommended Decision issued by the Administrator on December 21, 2007, and published in the Federal Register (72 FR 73671) on December 28, 2007, will be and are the terms and provisions of this order amending the order and are set forth in full herein. PART 981—ALMONDS GROWN IN CALIFORNIA 1. The authority citation for 7 CFR part 981 continues to read as follows: Authority: 7 U.S.C. 601–674. 2.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). rmajette on PROD1PC64 with PROPOSALS AGENCY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed SUMMARY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:20 Feb 29, 2008 Jkt 214001 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: During fatigue tests (EF3) on the A340–600, multiple damage were found in the upper side shell structure at skin and frame (FR) 84 & 85 interface, from stringer 6 to 15 LH/RH. This damage occurred between 58,341 and 72,891 simulated Flight Cycles (FC). Due to the higher Design Service Goal and different design (e.g. skin thickness) for A330–200 and A340–300 aircraft series, the damage assessment concluded on [a] potential impact on these aircraft series. * * * * * The unsafe condition is loss of integrity of the upper shell structure of the fuselage. The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI. DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 2, 2008.

Discussion The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2007–0269R1, dated October 15, 2007 (referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states: During fatigue tests (EF3) on the A340–600, multiple damage were found in the upper side shell structure at skin and frame (FR) 84 & 85 interface, from stringer 6 to 15 LH/RH. This damage occurred between 58,341 and 72,891 simulated Flight Cycles (FC). Due to the higher Design Service Goal and different design (e.g. skin thickness) for A330–200 and A340–300 aircraft series, the damage assessment concluded on [a] potential impact on these aircraft series. In order to allow early detection of cracks which could avoid possible crack propagation and consequently to maintain the structural integrity of the upper side shell structure between FR84 and FR87, this Airworthiness Directive (AD) mandates an inspection program of this area [for cracking] using a high frequency eddy current (HFEC) method and a modification to improve the upper shell structure. This Revision 1 is issued to clarify that this AD is not applicable to aircraft A340–300 series on which both AIRBUS modifications 44205 and 45012 have been embodied in production. The unsafe condition is loss of integrity of the upper shell structure of the fuselage between FR84 and FR87. Corrective actions include contacting Airbus and repairing any crack. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket. Relevant Service Information Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A330–53–3152, dated April 10, 2007; E:\FR\FM\03MRP1.SGM 03MRP1

SUMMARY: This document makes a correction to a current notice of 
proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which was published in the Federal Register 
on February 20, 2008 (73 FR 9239), and applies to certain Taylorcraft 
Models A, B, and F series airplanes. The NPRM proposed to require 
inspection of the wing strut attach fittings for corrosion or cracks 
and would require repair or replacement if corrosion or cracks are 
found. The docket number was incorrectly referenced at ``FAA-2007-
0177'' instead of ``FAA-2008-0177.'' The NPRM is posted in the FAA-
2008-0177 docket section of the Federal Docket Management System 
(FDMS). This document corrects the docket number and should further 
reduce the confusion associated with the inadvertent error.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On February 12, 2008, the FAA issued an NPRM (73 FR 9239; February 
20,

[[Page 11364]]

2008), which applies to certain Taylorcraft Models A, B, and F series 
airplanes. This proposed AD would require inspection of the wing strut 
attach fittings for corrosion or cracks and would require repair or 
replacement if corrosion or cracks are found.
    The docket number was incorrectly referenced as ``FAA-2007-0177'' 
instead of ``FAA-2008-0177.'' The NPRM is posted in the FAA-2008-0177 
docket section of the FDMS.

Need for the Correction

    This correction is needed to identify the docket number and should 
further reduce the confusion associated with the inadvertent error.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of February 20, 2008 (73 FR 9239), 
which was the subject of FR Doc. E8-2995, is corrected as follows:
    On page 9239, in the second column, in the first line under 14 CFR 
Part 39, replace ``[Docket No. FAA-2007-0177;'' with ``[Docket No. FAA-
2008-0177;''
    On page 9240, in the first column, in the second line from the top 
of the page, replace ``FAA-2007-0177;'' with ``FAA-2008-0177''.
    On page 9241, in the first column, in the third line under Sec.  
39.13 [Amended], replace ``FAA-2007-0177;'' with ``FAA-2008-0177''.
    Action is taken herein to correct this reference in the NPRM.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on February 25, 2008.
