§ 457.8
The application and policy.
1. Definitions.
*

*
*
*
Native sod. Acreage that has no record
of being tilled (determined in
accordance with FSA or other verifiable
records acceptable to us) for the
production of an annual crop on or
before May 22, 2008, and on which the
plant cover is composed principally of
native grasses, grass-like plants, forbs, or
shrubs suitable for grazing and
browsing.
*
*
*
*
*
Prairie Pothole National Priority Area.
Consists of specific counties within the
States of Iowa, Minnesota, Montana,
North Dakota or South Dakota as
specified on the RMA Web site at https://
www.rma.usda.gov/, or a successor Web
site, or the Farm Service Agency,
Agricultural Resource Conservation
Program 2–CRP (Revision 4), dated
April 28, 2008, or a subsequent
publication.
*
*
*
*
*
Tilled. The termination of existing
plants by plowing, disking, burning,
application of chemicals, or by other
means to prepare acreage for the
production of an annual crop.
*
*
*
*
*
9. Insurable Acreage.
*
*
*
*
*
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions in
section 9(a)(1), if the Governor of a State
designated within the Prairie Pothole
National Priority Area elects to make
section 508(o) of the Act effective for the
State, any native sod acreage greater
than five acres located in a county
contained within the Prairie Pothole
National Priority Area that has been
tilled after May 22, 2008, is not
insurable for the first five crop years of
planting following the date the native
sod acreage is tilled.
(1) If the Governor makes this election
after you have received an indemnity or
other payment for native sod acreage,
you will be required to repay the
amount received and any premium for
such acreage will be refunded to you.
(2) If we determine you have tilled
less than five acres of native sod a year
for more than one crop year, we will
add all the native sod acreage tilled after
May 22, 2008, and all such acreage will
be ineligible for insurance for the first
five crop years of planting following the
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
date the cumulative native sod acreage
tilled exceeds five acres.

*
*
14. Duties in the Event of Damage,
Loss, Abandonment, Destruction, or
Alternative Use of Crop or Acreage.
Your Duties—
*
*
*
*
*
(c) In addition to complying with the
notice requirements, you must submit a
claim for indemnity declaring the
amount of your loss:
(1) Not later than 60 days after the end
of the insurance period unless, prior to
the end of the 60 day period, you:
(i) Request an extension in writing
and we agree to such request
(Extensions will only be granted if the
amount of loss cannot be determined
within such time period because the
information needed to determine the
amount of the loss is not available); or
(ii) Have harvested farm-stored grain
production and elect, in writing, to
delay measurement of your farm-stored
production and settlement of any
potential associated claim for indemnity
(Extensions will be granted for this
purpose up to 180 days after the end of
the insurance period).
(A) For policies that require APH, if
such extension continues beyond the
date you are required to submit your
production report, you will be assigned
the previous year’s approved yield as a
temporary yield in accordance with
applicable procedures.
(B) Any extension does not extend
any date specified in the policy by
which premiums, administrative fees, or
other debts owed must be paid.
(C) Damage that occurs after the end
of the insurance period (for example,
while the harvested crop production is
in storage) is not covered; and
(2) That includes all information we
require to settle the claim. Failure to
submit a claim or provide the required
information will result in no indemnity,
prevented planting payment or replant
payment (even though no indemnity or
other payment is due, you will still be
required to pay the premium due under
the policy for the unit).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 31, 2008, (73 FR 16965),
the NRC published a final rule
E:\FR\FM\03SER1.SGM
03SER1
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 170 / Thursday, September 3, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
amending its Fitness-for-Duty programs
to update the fitness-for-duty
requirements and enhance consistency
with advances in other relevant Federal
rules and guidelines including the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services Mandatory Guidelines for
Federal Workplace Drug Testing
Programs, and other Federal drug and
alcohol testing programs that impose
similar requirements on the private
sector. The March 2008 rule amended
portions of former § 26.2 and moved
them into new § 26.4. This final rule
corrects a cross-reference to § 26.2(a)(1)
through (5), as stated in § 76.60(f), to
read § 26.4(d)(1) through (5).
Furthermore, this document clarifies
the term ‘‘Under the Influence,’’ as
stated in § 55.53(j), by stating that the
licensee exceeded, as evidenced by a
confirmed test result, the lower of the
cutoff levels of drugs or alcohol
contained in 10 CFR Part 26. The
reference to appendix A of Part 26 has
been removed from § 55.53(f) because
the March 2008, Final rule eliminated
appendix A from Part 26.
Rulemaking Procedure
Because this amendment constitutes a
minor administrative change to the
regulations, the notice and comment
provisions of the Administrative
Procedure Act do not apply under 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
Environmental Impact: Categorical
Exclusion
The NRC has determined that this
final rule is the type of action described
in categorical exclusion 10 CFR
51.22(c)(2). Therefore, neither an
environmental impact statement nor an
environmental assessment has been
prepared for this rule.
jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with RULES
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
This final rule does not contain
information collection requirements
and, therefore, is not subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

55.61 also issued under secs. 186, 187, 68
Stat. 955 (42 U.S.C. 2236, 2237).
2. In § 55.53, paragraph (j) is revised
to read as follows:
Backfit Analysis
The NRC has determined that the
backfit rule does not apply to this final
rule; therefore, a backfit analysis is not
required for this final rule because these

In accordance with the Congressional
Review Act of 1996, the NRC has
determined that this action is not a
major rule and has verified this
determination with the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs of
OMB.
■
Public Protection Notification
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person is not required to respond
to, a request for information or an
information collection requirement
unless the requesting document
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control
number.

her licensed duties. For the purpose of
this paragraph, with respect to alcoholic
beverages and drugs, the term ‘‘under
the influence’’ means the licensee
exceeded, as evidenced by a confirmed
test result, the lower of the cutoff levels
for drugs or alcohol contained in 10 CFR
Part 26, or as established by the facility
licensee. The term ‘‘under the
influence’’ also means the licensee
could be mentally or physically
impaired as a result of substance use
including prescription and over-thecounter drugs, as determined under the
provisions, policies, and procedures
established by the facility licensee for
its fitness-for-duty program, in such a
manner as to adversely affect his or her
ability to safely and competently
perform licensed duties.

Series Airplanes; Seats With Inflatable
Lapbelts
jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with RULES
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final special conditions; request
for comments.
SUMMARY: These special conditions are
issued for Boeing Model 737–600/–700/
–700C/–800/–900 and 900ER series
airplanes. These airplanes,
manufactured by Boeing Commercial
Airplanes, will have novel or unusual
design features associated with seats
with inflatable lapbelts. Special
Conditions No. 25–187–SC were issued
on October 3, 2001, addressing this
issue for the Boeing Model 777 series
airplanes. The applicable airworthiness
regulations do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for this
design feature. These special conditions
contain the additional safety standards
that the Administrator considers
necessary to establish a level of safety
equivalent to that established by the
existing airworthiness standards.
DATES: The effective date of these
special condition is August 7, 2009. We
must receive your comments by:
October 19, 2009.
ADDRESSES: You must mail two copies
of your comments to: Federal Aviation
Administration, Transport Airplane
Directorate, Attn: Rules Docket (ANM–
113), Docket No. NM409, 1601 Lind
Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington,
98057–3356. You may deliver two
copies to the Transport Airplane
Directorate at the above address. You
must mark your comments: Docket No.
NM409. You can inspect comments in
the Rules Docket weekdays, except
Federal holidays, between 7:30 a.m. and
4 p.m.

facsimile (425) 227–1232.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
has determined that notice of, and
opportunity for public comment on,
these special conditions are
impracticable because these procedures
would significantly delay issuance of
the design approval and thus delivery of
the affected airplanes. In addition, the
substance of these special conditions
has been subject to the public-comment
process in several prior instances with
no substantive comments received. The
FAA therefore finds that good cause
exists for making these special
conditions effective upon issuance.
Comments Invited
We invite interested people to take
part in this rulemaking by sending
written comments, data, or views. The
most helpful comments reference a
specific portion of the special
conditions, explain the reason for any
recommended change, and include
supporting data. We ask that you send
us two copies of written comments.
We will file in the docket all
comments we receive, as well as a
report summarizing each substantive
public contact with FAA personnel
concerning these special conditions.
You can inspect the docket before and
after the comment closing date. If you
wish to review the docket in person, go
to the address in the ADDRESSES section
of this preamble between 7:30 a.m. and
4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
Federal holidays.
We will consider all comments we
receive by the closing date for
comments. We will consider comments
filed late if it is possible to do so
without incurring expense or delay. We
may change these special conditions in
light of the comments we receive.
If you want the FAA to acknowledge
receipt of your comments on these
special conditions, include with your
comments a self-addressed, stamped
postcard on which you have written the
docket number. We will stamp the date
on the postcard and mail it back to you.
Background
On July 8, 2008, Boeing Commercial
Airplanes applied for an amendment to
type certificate No. A16WE to include
the new Boeing Model 737–600/–700/–
700C–800/–900 and 900ER series
airplanes. These special conditions
allow installation of inflatable lap belts
for head injury protection on certain
seats in Boeing Model 737–600/–700/–
700C/800/–900 and 900ER series
airplanes. The FAA has issued similar
special conditions, No. 25–187–SC and
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
subsequently 25–187A–SC for Boeing
Model 777 series airplanes and Special
Condition No. 25–148–SC for Boeing
Model 767 series airplanes.
The inflatable lapbelt is designed to
limit occupant forward excursion if an
accident occurs. This will reduce the
potential for head injury, thereby
reducing the Head Injury Criterion (HIC)
measurement, required by Title 14,
Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR),
25.562(c)(5). The inflatable lapbelt
behaves similarly to an automotive
inflatable airbag, but in this case the
airbag is integrated into the lapbelt, and
inflates away from the seated occupant.
While inflatable airbags are now
standard in the automotive industry, the
use of an inflatable lapbelt is novel for
commercial aviation.
Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) 121.311(j) requires that no
person may operate a transport category
airplane type certificated after January
1, 1958, and manufactured on or after
October 27, 2009, in passenger-carrying
operations, after October 27, 2009,
unless all passenger and flight attendant
seats on an airplane operated under part
121 meet the requirements of § 25.562 in
effect on or after June 16, 1988.
The Boeing Model 737–600/–700/–
700C/–800/–900 and 900ER series
airplanes, manufactured before October
27, 2009, operated under part 121, are
required to show compliance with
certain aspects of § 25.562 as specified
per Type Certificate No. A16WE. Boeing
Model 737–600/–700/–700C/–800/–900
and 900ER series airplanes
manufactured on or after October 27,
2009, operated under part 121, must
meet all of the requirements of § 25.562
for passenger and flight attendant seats.
It is in the interest of installers to show
full compliance with § 25.562, so that an
operator under part 121 may be able to
use the airplane without having to do
additional certification work. In
addition, some foreign civil
airworthiness authorities have invoked
these same operator requirements in the
form of airworthiness directives.
Occupants must be protected from
head injury, as required by § 25.785, by
either the elimination of any injurious
object within the striking radius of the
head, or by padding. Traditionally, this
has required a setback of 35 inches from
any bulkhead or other rigid interior
feature or, where not practical, specified
types of padding. The relative
effectiveness of these means of injury
protection was not quantified. With the
adoption of Amendment 25–64 to part
25, specifically § 25.562, a new standard
that quantifies required head injury
protection was created.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 31, 2008, (73 FR 16965), the NRC published a final rule
[[Page 45545]]
amending its Fitness-for-Duty programs to update the fitness-for-duty
requirements and enhance consistency with advances in other relevant
Federal rules and guidelines including the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug
Testing Programs, and other Federal drug and alcohol testing programs
that impose similar requirements on the private sector. The March 2008
rule amended portions of former Sec. 26.2 and moved them into new
Sec. 26.4. This final rule corrects a cross-reference to Sec.
26.2(a)(1) through (5), as stated in Sec. 76.60(f), to read Sec.
26.4(d)(1) through (5).
Furthermore, this document clarifies the term ``Under the
Influence,'' as stated in Sec. 55.53(j), by stating that the licensee
exceeded, as evidenced by a confirmed test result, the lower of the
cutoff levels of drugs or alcohol contained in 10 CFR Part 26. The
reference to appendix A of Part 26 has been removed from Sec. 55.53(f)
because the March 2008, Final rule eliminated appendix A from Part 26.
Rulemaking Procedure
Because this amendment constitutes a minor administrative change to
the regulations, the notice and comment provisions of the
Administrative Procedure Act do not apply under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion
The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action
described in categorical exclusion 10 CFR 51.22(c)(2). Therefore,
neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental
assessment has been prepared for this rule.
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
This final rule does not contain information collection
requirements and, therefore, is not subject to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Public Protection Notification
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a request for information or an information collection
requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
Backfit Analysis
The NRC has determined that the backfit rule does not apply to this
final rule; therefore, a backfit analysis is not required for this
final rule because these amendments are administrative in nature and do
not involve any provisions that would impose backfits as defined in 10
CFR Chapter I.
Congressional Review Act
In accordance with the Congressional Review Act of 1996, the NRC
has determined that this action is not a major rule and has verified
this determination with the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs of OMB.
