ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD requires
repetitive inspections for any damage of
the lower surface of the center wing box,
and corrective actions if necessary. This
AD was prompted by reports of fatigue
cracks of the lower surface of the center
wing box. We are issuing this AD to
detect and correct such cracks, which
could result in the structural failure of
the wings.
DATES: This AD is effective June 22,
2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an airworthiness
directive (AD) that would apply to the
specified products. That NPRM
published in the Federal Register on
January 5, 2010 (75 FR 262). That NPRM
proposed to require repetitive
inspections for any damage of the lower
surface of the center wing box, and
corrective actions if necessary.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. The
following presents the comments
received on the proposal and the FAA’s
response to each comment.
Support for the NPRM
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics
Company (LM Aero) recognized and
agreed with the need to adopt an AD.
Lynden Air Cargo (LAC) agreed in
concept that the inspections in the
NPRM are beneficial and enhance
safety.
Requests To Clarify Paragraph (l) of the
NPRM
LAC and Safair Operations (Pty) Ltd
(Safair) asked that we clarify paragraph
(l) of the NPRM, which states that
‘‘Inspections accomplished before the
effective date of this AD in accordance
with Lockheed Service Bulletin 382–57–
83 (82–783), Revision 1, dated August
22, 2006, including Appendix B, dated
March 18, 2005, are considered

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Pursuant to the Commodity Promotion, Research, and Information Act
of 1996 (Act) (7 U.S.C. 7411-7425), the Department of Agriculture
conducted a referendum from February 1, 2011, through February 28,
2011, among eligible sorghum producers, and importers to determine if
the Order would continue to be effective. A final rule was published in
the November 18, 2010, Federal Register (75 FR 70573) outlining the
procedures for conducting the referendum.
Of the 1,204 valid ballots cast, 917 or 76.2 percent favored the
program and 287 or 23.7 percent opposed continuing the program. For the
program to continue, it must have been approved by at least a majority
of those eligible persons voting for approval who were engaged in the
production and sale of sorghum during the period July 1, 2008, through
Dec. 31, 2010.
Therefore, based on the referendum results, the Secretary of
Agriculture has determined that the required majority of eligible
voters who voted in the nationwide referendum from February 1, 2011,
through February 28, 2011, voted to continue the Order. As a result,
the Sorghum Checkoff Program will continue to be funded by a mandatory

net market value of grain sorghum and 0.35 percent of net market value
for sorghum forage, sorghum hay, sorghum haylage, sorghum billets, and
