A copy of it may be obtained by contacting the Rules Docket at the location provided under the caption ‘‘ADDRESSES.’’ List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety. The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the Federal Aviation Administration proposes to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (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. Section 39.13 is amended by adding the following new airworthiness directive: Boeing: Docket 2001–NM–237–AD. Applicability: Model 767–200 and –300 series airplanes, line numbers 1 through 793 inclusive, certificated in any category; equipped with door-mounted escape slide systems. Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously. To prevent the escape slides and slide-rafts of the forward and mid-cabin entry and service doors from being too steep for evacuation in the event that the airplane rotates onto the aft fuselage into the extreme tip-back condition, accomplish the following: Replacement of Slide-Rafts (a) Within 72 months after the effective date of this AD, replace the applicable sliderafts at the applicable door or doors, and do all other applicable actions including, but not limited to, changing the latches, and replacing or modifying the counterbalance assemblies, by accomplishing all applicable actions specified in the Accomplishment Instructions in Boeing Service Bulletin 767– 25A0266, Revision 2, dated September 27, 2007. Modification of the Firing Cable (b) Within 72 months after the effective date of this AD, do a general visual inspection of the slide-raft(s) to determine if supplier part number (P/N) 5A3294–1, 5A3294–2, 5A3295–1, or 5A3295–3 is installed (Boeing P/N S416T214–3, S416T214–4, S416T214–2, and S416T214–1, respectively). Do the inspection in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767–25A0395, Revision 1, dated January 25, 2007. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the P/N of the slide-raft can be conclusively determined from that review. (1) If no affected P/N is installed, no further action is required by this paragraph. (2) If any affected P/N is installed, before further flight, lengthen the firing cable and test the valve of the inflation trigger system of the escape slide-raft in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767–25A0395, Revision 1, dated January 25, 2007. Note 1: Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767– 25A0395, Revision 1, refers to Goodrich Service Bulletin 5A3294/5A3295–25–362, dated July 25, 2006, as an additional source of service information for lengthening the firing cable and testing the valve of the inflation trigger system of the escape slideraft.

The temporary regulations provide guidance concerning the election and calculation of the alternative simplified credit under section 41(c)(5). The text of those regulations also serves as the text of these proposed regulations. The preamble to the temporary regulations explains these proposed regulations. Special Analyses It has been determined that this notice of proposed rulemaking is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been determined that section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to these regulations. It is hereby certified that these regulations will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Although a substantial number of small entities may make an election under these regulations, any economic impact is minimal because an election under these regulations generally will simplify the calculation of the credit and may result in a benefit to the taxpayer. Accordingly, a regulatory flexibility analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) is not required. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, these regulations will be submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for comment on their impact on small business.

All comments will be available for public inspection and copying. The IRS and the Treasury Department invite taxpayers to submit comments on the proposed regulations and issues relating to the election and calculation of the ASC under section 41(c)(5). In particular, the IRS and the Treasury Department encourage taxpayers to submit comments on the following issues: Should the regulations allow a controlled group to make an election to use the ASC both for computation of the group credit and computation of every member’s stand-alone entity credit, even if the ASC does not provide the greatest stand-alone entity credit? If so, how should that election be made and by whom? What relief should be made available to taxpayers that have used methodologies inconsistent with the short taxable year rules provided in these regulations on tax returns filed after the effective date of section 41(c)(5) and prior to the publication of these regulations? A public hearing has been scheduled for September 25, 2008, at 10 a.m. in the IRS Auditorium, Internal Revenue Building, 1111 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The assessment follows. Description of Small Entities Affected The proposed rule (73 FR 15694, Mar. 25, 2008) would directly affect all exploration and mining companies. There are currently approximately 1,800 exploration and mining companies 34239 operating on the National Forests. Seventy-five percent of these companies are considered small business with less than 500 employees. The size of these 1,260 small businesses range from one person to 499 employees. Total production ranges from zero production for exploration companies to few thousand dollars per year for very small mining to several million dollars per year for the larger mining companies. Most mining companies require at least 20–25 percent profit to survive mining’s volatile market. Economic Impacts on Small Entities Increased operating costs from the proposed rule to small exploration and mining companies is expected to be insignificant since the small entities are already working under the proposed rule through current direction and policy spelled out in the Forest Service manual and handbooks. The proposed rule codifies much of the existing direction and policy. The most direct costs from the proposed regulations will come from how much time and money is spent on filling out and filing the required notice of intent, cessation of operations, or an operating plan. Table #1 records the 2007 annualized burden costs for an operator. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) published earnings information pertaining to locatable mineral operations. That information can be found in the Mineral Commodity Summaries 2007. The USGS disclosed that the estimated ‘‘Average weekly earnings of production workers’’ for metal mining in 2006 was $979. Based on 40 hours a week and on an 8-hour workday, the average hourly salary in the locatable mineral arena is about $24.48. This rate is reflected in Table #1.

SUMMARY: In the Rules and Regulations section in this issue of the 
Federal Register, the IRS is issuing temporary regulations relating to 
the election and calculation of the alternative simplified credit under

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Temporary regulations in the Rules and Regulations section of this 
issue of the Federal Register amend the Income Tax Regulations (26 CFR 
Part 1) relating to section 41. The temporary regulations provide 
guidance concerning the election and calculation of the alternative 
simplified credit under section 41(c)(5). The text of those regulations 
also serves as the text of these proposed regulations. The preamble to 
the temporary regulations explains these proposed regulations.

Special Analyses

    It has been determined that this notice of proposed rulemaking is 
not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 
12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. It also has 
been determined that section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act 
(5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to these regulations. It is hereby 
certified that these regulations will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. Although a 
substantial number of small entities may make an election under these 
regulations, any economic impact is minimal because an election under 
these regulations generally will simplify the calculation of the credit 
and may result in a benefit to the taxpayer. Accordingly, a regulatory 
flexibility analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 
chapter 6) is not required. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Internal 
Revenue Code, these regulations will be submitted to the Chief Counsel 
for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for comment on their 
impact on small business.

Comments and Public Hearing

    Before these proposed regulations are adopted as final regulations, 
consideration will be given to any written comments (a signed original 
and eight (8) copies) or electronic comments that are submitted timely 
to the IRS. All comments will be available for public inspection and 
copying. The IRS and the Treasury Department invite taxpayers to submit 
comments on the proposed regulations and issues relating to the 
election and calculation of the ASC under section 41(c)(5). In 
particular, the IRS and the Treasury Department encourage taxpayers to 
submit comments on the following issues:
    Should the regulations allow a controlled group to make an election 
to use the ASC both for computation of the group credit and computation 
of every member's stand-alone entity credit, even if the ASC does not 
provide the greatest stand-alone entity credit?
    If so, how should that election be made and by whom?
    What relief should be made available to taxpayers that have used 
methodologies inconsistent with the short taxable year rules provided 
in these regulations on tax returns filed after the effective date of 
section 41(c)(5) and prior to the publication of these regulations?
    A public hearing has been scheduled for September 25, 2008, at 10 
a.m. in the IRS Auditorium, Internal Revenue Building, 1111 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. Due to building security 
procedures, visitors must enter at the Constitution Avenue entrance. In 
addition, all visitors must present photo identification to enter the 
building. Because of access restrictions, visitors will not be admitted 
beyond the immediate entrance area more than 30 minutes before the 
hearing starts. For information about having your name placed on the 
building access list to attend the hearing, see the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble.
    The rules of 26 CFR 601.601(a)(3) apply to the hearing. Persons who 
wish to present oral comments at the hearing must submit electronic or 
written comments by September 15, 2008, and an outline of the topics to 
be discussed and the time to be devoted to each topic (a signed 
original and eight (8) copies) by September 4, 2008. A period of 10 
minutes will be allotted to each person for making comments. An agenda 
showing the scheduling of the speakers will be prepared after the 
deadline for receiving outlines has passed. Copies of the agenda will 
be available free of charge at the hearing.
