and Independence Avenue, SW.,
Washington, DC 20250. A comment to
OMB is best assured of having its full
effect if OMB receives it within 30 days
of publication of this proposed rule.
Disease surveillance plays an
important role in APHIS’ mission of
protecting the health of livestock
populations in the United States, and
testing animals for disease is an
important surveillance tool. To enhance
APHIS’ surveillance capabilities, we are
proposing to amend the regulations
regarding the movement of livestock to
require approved livestock facilities and
listed slaughtering and rendering
establishments to maintain certain
records for 5 years. Currently, approved
livestock facilities are required to retain
certain records for 2 years, and there are
no record retention provisions that
apply to listed slaughtering and
rendering establishments.
Requiring the retention of certain
records for 5 years would allow APHIS
to trace the prior movements of diseased
livestock further into the past than is
currently possible, thereby providing
the opportunity to locate potentially
infected or exposed livestock that might
otherwise remain unidentified. We are
also proposing to require the operators
of slaughtering and rendering
establishments to sign listing
agreements to document their agreement
to comply with the requirements of the
regulations for listed slaughtering and
rendering establishments. Such listing
agreements are currently required for
approved livestock facilities, but not for
slaughtering or rendering facilities. The
proposed change would eliminate that
inconsistency.
We are soliciting comments from the
public (as well as affected agencies)
concerning our proposed information
collection and recordkeeping
requirements. These comments will
help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
information collection is necessary for
the proper performance of our agency’s
functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
information collection on those who are
to respond (such as through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
VerDate Aug<31>2005

information technology; e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses).
Estimate of burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.0830985 hours
per response.
Respondents: Livestock auction
market, slaughtering, and rendering
plant personnel.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 710.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 710.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 59 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)

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 2008–0013,
dated January 24, 2008 (referred to after
this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products.
The MCAI states:
This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is
issued following the discovery of a potential
chafing between the rheostat of the 3rd crew
member control panel reading light and the
air gasper flexible hose, or with the electrical
wires nearby. If le[f]t uncorrected, this
chafing may expose the metallic spiral
armature of the flexible hose, or damage the
electrical wires insulation, which could
result in a short-circuit generating sustained
overheating and smoke emission.
This AD requires an inspection of the air
gasper installation in the 3rd crew control
panel of the LH [left-hand] and RH [righthand] crew closet for interference and
damage and applicable related corrective
actions.
The corrective actions include replacing
the flexible hoses and installing
ROUNDIT insulation sleeving to the
wires near the rheostat. You may obtain
further information by examining the
MCAI in the AD docket.
Relevant Service Information
Dassault has issued Service Bulletins
F900–360 and F900EX–261, both dated
July 20, 2005; and F2000–316, dated
July 27, 2005. The actions described in
this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified
in the MCAI.
FAA’s Determination and Requirements
of This Proposed AD
This product has been approved by
the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation
in the United States. Pursuant to our
bilateral agreement with the State of
Design Authority, we have been notified
of the unsafe condition described in the
MCAI and service information
referenced above. We are proposing this
AD because we evaluated all pertinent
information and determined an unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same
type design.

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 proposed
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
proposed AD.
Costs of Compliance
Based on the service information, we
estimate that this proposed AD would
affect 335 products of U.S. registry. We
also estimate that it would take 4 workhours per product to comply with the
basic requirements of this proposed AD.
The average labor rate is $80 per workhour. Based on these figures, we
estimate the cost of the proposed AD on
U.S. operators to be $107,200, or $320
per product.
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 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.

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.

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 2008-0013, dated January 24, 2008 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:
This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued following the
discovery of a potential chafing between the rheostat of the 3rd
crew member control panel reading light and the air gasper flexible
hose, or with the electrical wires nearby. If le[f]t uncorrected,
this chafing may expose the metallic spiral armature of the flexible
hose, or damage the electrical wires insulation, which could result
in a short-circuit generating sustained overheating and smoke
emission.
This AD requires an inspection of the air gasper installation in
the 3rd crew control panel of the LH [left-hand] and RH [right-hand]
crew closet for interference and damage and applicable related
corrective actions.
The corrective actions include replacing the flexible hoses and
installing ROUNDIT insulation sleeving to the wires near the rheostat.
You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.
Relevant Service Information
Dassault has issued Service Bulletins F900-360 and F900EX-261, both
dated July 20, 2005; and F2000-316, dated July 27, 2005. The actions
described in this service information are intended to correct the
unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.
FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD
This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.
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 proposed 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 proposed AD.
Costs of Compliance
Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect 335 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it
would take 4 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed
AD on U.S. operators to be $107,200, or $320 per product.

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 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.
[[Page 38348]]
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.

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.
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new AD:
Dassault Aviation: Docket No. FAA-2008-0729; Directorate Identifier
2008-NM-052-AD.
Comments Due Date
(a) We must receive comments by August 6, 2008.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to Dassault Model Mystere-Falcon 900
airplanes from serial number (S/N) 1 to 200 inclusive; Model Falcon
900EX airplanes from S/N 1 to 129 inclusive; and Model Falcon 2000
airplanes from S/N 01 to 210 inclusive; when fitted with a third
crew member control panel; certificated in any category.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 25:
Equipment/Furnishings.
Reason
(e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued following the
discovery of a potential chafing between the rheostat of the 3rd
crew member control panel reading light and the air gasper flexible
hose, or with the electrical wires nearby. If le[f]t uncorrected,
this chafing may expose the metallic spiral armature of the flexible
hose, or damage the electrical wires insulation, which could result
in a short-circuit generating sustained overheating and smoke
emission.
This AD requires an inspection of the air gasper installation in
the 3rd crew control panel of the LH [left-hand] and RH [right-hand]
crew closet for interference and damage and applicable related
corrective actions.
The corrective actions include replacing the flexible hose and
installing ROUNDIT insulation sleeving to the wires near the
rheostat.
Actions and Compliance
(f) Within 7 months after the effective date of this AD, unless
already done, do a detailed inspection of the air gasper
installation in the 3rd crew member control panel of the left-hand
and right-hand crew closet for interference and damage, and do all
applicable related corrective actions as instructed in the
Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service information
listed in Table 1 of this AD. Corrective actions must be done before
further flight.
