In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, this notice advises interested persons that the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Communications Security, Reliability, and Interoperability Council (CSRIC) will hold its final meeting on March 14, 2011, at 9 a.m. in the Commission Meeting Room of the Federal Communications Commission, Room TW-C305, 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554.

The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') has received requests to conduct administrative reviews of various antidumping and countervailing duty orders and findings with January anniversary dates.

We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to The Boeing Company Model 767-200, -300, and -300F series airplanes. The existing AD currently requires inspections to detect cracking or corrosion of the fail-safe straps between the side fitting of the rear spar bulkhead at body station 955 and the skin; and follow-on and corrective actions. Since we issued that AD, we have received additional reports of cracks in 51 fail-safe straps on 41 airplanes; we have also received a report of a crack found in the ``T'' fitting that connects the fail-safe strap to the outboard edge of the pressure deck. This proposed AD would expand the applicability, and would add an inspection for cracking in the fail-safe strap, and repair or replacement if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking or corrosion of the fail-safe straps and the ``T'' fittings, which could result in cracking of adjacent structure and consequent reduced structural integrity of the fuselage.
