Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 111 / Monday, June 9, 2008 / Proposed Rules that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action. Regulatory Findings We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 proposed regulation: 1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 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 proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety. The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. § 39.13 [Amended] 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following new AD: Pilatus Aircraft Ltd.: Docket No. FAA–2008– 0626; Directorate Identifier 2008–CE– 035–AD. Comments Due Date (a) We must receive comments by July 9, 2008. jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSALS Affected ADs (b) None.

Note 1: These airplanes may also be identified as Fairchild Republic Company PC–6 airplanes, Fairchild Heli Porter PC–6 airplanes, or Fairchild-Hiller Corporation PC–6 airplanes. Subject (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 53: Fuselage. Reason (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) states: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is prompted due to the discovery of loose selflocking stop nuts Part Number (P/N) 938.07.65.105 in the tail landing gear fastener assemblies of some PC–6 aircraft. It is believed that this occurrence could also exist in other fastener assemblies using nuts P/N 938.07.65.105 at various identified locations in the aircraft. If left uncorrected, the identified assemblies may become loose and not function as designed and could lead to hazardous situations. In order to prevent those conditions, the present AD requires you replace self-locking stop nuts P/N 938.07.65.105 from the Tail Landing Gear Assembly, the Parachute Cable Assembly, the Water Tank Assembly, the Cable Tensioner Assembly, the Fuel Filter Assembly, the Hydraulic Pump Assembly and the Engine Mounts Assembly in accordance with Pilatus PC–6 Service Bulletin No. 53–002 Revision 2. Actions and Compliance (f) Unless already done, do the following actions: (1) Within the next 12 months after the effective date of this AD, inspect and modify the fastener assemblies as instructed in paragraph 3 of Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Pilatus PC–6 Service Bulletin Number 53–002, Revision No. 2, dated September 24, 2007. (2) After the effective date of this AD, no person shall install on any PC–6 series aircraft, water tank assemblies and hydraulic pump assemblies, unless they have been previously modified following paragraph 4 of Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Pilatus PC–6 Service Bulletin Number 53–002, Revision No. 2, dated September 24, 2007. FAA AD Differences Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: No differences.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This document contains proposed regulations relating to qualified nonpersonal use vehicles as defined in section 274(i). Qualified nonpersonal use vehicles are excepted from the substantiation requirements of section 274(d)(4) that apply to listed property as defined in section 280F(d)(4). These proposed regulations would add clearly marked public safety officer vehicles as a new type of qualified nonpersonal use vehicles. These proposed regulations would affect employers that provide their employees with qualified nonpersonal use vehicles and the employees who use such vehicles.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: Background This document contains proposed Income Tax Regulations under section 274(i) added by section 2(b) of Public Law 99–44 (May 24, 1985), which provides a definition of qualified nonpersonal use vehicle. Temporary Regulation § 1.274–5T(k), identifying PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 categories of qualified nonpersonal use vehicles, was issued in TD 8061 (1982– 2 CB 93 (1985)). A notice of proposed rulemaking was issued by crossreference to Temporary Regulation § 1.274–5T(k) (50 FR 46088, 1985–2 CB 809 (1985)). These proposed regulations incorporate the text of § 1.274–5T(k) and add clearly marked public safety officer vehicles as a new type of qualified nonpersonal use vehicle, listed along with clearly marked police and fire vehicles at § 1.274–5(k)(2)(ii)(A). Clearly marked public safety officer vehicles are added to the definition of clearly marked police and fire vehicles at § 1.274–5(k)(3), and an example is added at § 1.274–5(k)(8). (See § 601.601(d)(2)(ii)(b).) Explanation of Provisions Section 274(d) provides that a taxpayer is not allowed a deduction or credit for certain expenses unless the expense is substantiated. These substantiation requirements apply to expenses incurred in the of use of any listed property (defined in section 280F(d)(4)), which includes any passenger automobile and any other property used as a means of transportation. Section 274(d) does not apply to any qualified nonpersonal use vehicle as defined in section 274(i). Section 274(i) provides that a qualified nonpersonal use vehicle is any vehicle which by reason of its nature is not likely to be used more than a de minimis amount for personal uses. The legislative history to section 274(i) provided a list of qualified nonpersonal use vehicles and identified a number of examples of qualified nonpersonal use vehicles such as school buses, qualified specialized utility repair trucks, and qualified moving vans. The legislative history indicated that Congress wanted the Commissioner to expand the list to include other vehicles appropriate for listing because by their nature it is highly unlikely that they will be used more than a very minimal amount for personal purposes. H.R. Rep. No. 99–34, at 11 (1985). Passenger automobiles such as sedans and sport utility vehicles are generally not exempt from taxation as qualified nonpersonal use vehicles because by design they can easily be used for personal purposes. However, unmarked law enforcement vehicles and clearly marked police and fire vehicles are included in the list of qualified nonpersonal use vehicles set forth in the legislative history to section 274(i) and incorporated into the proposed and temporary regulations.
