ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This 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: Several occurrences of untimely radioaltimeter lock-up have been reported, where the failed radio-altimeter indicated a negative distance to the ground despite the aircraft was flying at medium or high altitude. A locked radio-altimeter #1 leads to untimely inhibition of warnings that could be displayed along with certain abnormal conditions while the avionic system switches into landing mode during altitude cruise. * * * * * [Untimely radio-altimeter lock-up] may cause the crew to be unaware of possible system failures that could require urgent crew’s actions. * * * * * This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI. DATES: This AD becomes effective January 28, 2010. We must receive comments on this AD by March 1, 2010.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date.

SUMMARY: On December 28, 2009, we published a final rule in the Federal 
Register to add the Republic of Korea to the list of regions that are 
considered free of rinderpest and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and the 
list of regions that are subject to certain import restrictions on meat 
and meat products because of their proximity to or trading 
relationships with rinderpest- or FMD-affected countries. The final 
rule was scheduled to become effective on January 12, 2010. However, 
due to an outbreak of FMD reported by the Republic of Korea on January 
6, 2010, we are delaying indefinitely the effective date of the final 
rule. This delay will allow the Animal and Plant Health Inspection 
Service to consider the issues raised by this development and decide 
what subsequent actions to take.

DATES: The effective date for the final rule amending 9 CFR part 94 
published at 74 FR 68478-68480 on December 28, 2009, is delayed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In a final rule\1\ published in the Federal Register on December 
28, 2009 (74 FR 68478-68480, Docket No. APHIS-2008-0147), we amended 
the regulations in 9 CFR part 94 concerning the importation of animals 
and animal products by adding the Republic of Korea (South Korea) to 
the list in Sec.  94.1 of regions declared free of FMD and rinderpest. 
We also added the Republic of Korea to the list in Sec.  94.11 of 
regions that are declared to be free of these diseases, but that are 
subject to certain restrictions because of their proximity to or 
trading relationships with rinderpest- or FMD-affected regions.

    The final rule was scheduled to become effective on January 12, 
2010. However, on January 6, 2010, the Republic of Korea confirmed 
through laboratory diagnosis that an FMD outbreak occurred on a dairy 
farm in Kyonggi Province. As a consequence, we no longer consider the 
Republic of Korea to be free of FMD. Therefore, we are delaying the 
effective date of the final rule indefinitely. This delay will allow 
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service to consider the issues 
raised by this development and decide what subsequent actions to take.
