Download as PDF jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 22, 2011 / Rules and Regulations representation on the Board is linked to the payment of assessments. The Order requires a review of the composition of the Board to be conducted every five years and states that the review is to be based on Board assessment records and statistics from USDA. The number of importer, first handler, and domestic producer seats, as well as the distribution of importer seats, is adjusted as needed based on the volume and geographic distribution of mango production and imports. In addition, the volume of imports for each country of origin is considered in appointments of foreign producer members. Because the volume handled or imported is linked to the value of assessments received by the Board, representation of importers, first handlers, domestic producers and foreign producers is necessarily linked to the payment of assessments. However, that is not the case for the wholesaler/retailer positions. Two commenters expressed opposition to the proposed elimination of the wholesaler/retailer positions on the grounds that wholesalers and/or retailers could provide valuable insight to the Board. As stated above, the Board’s bylaws permit the participation of non-members on the Board’s committees. Thus the Board is able to seek input from wholesalers and/or retailers as needed. One commenter expressed doubt that the Board has made sufficient efforts to secure nominees to fill the wholesaler/ retailer positions. As discussed in the proposed rule, the Board has made numerous attempts to nominate individuals to those positions; however, wholesalers and retailers are either not interested in or do not have the time to serve on the Board. One commenter recommended that wholesalers and/or retailers be given full voting rights on the Board. The question of whether or not wholesaler/ retailer members should be permitted to vote is not considered in this rule as it is not relevant given the Board’s inability to find wholesalers and/or retailers to serve on the Board. The same commenter also suggested that the Board consider adding consumer members. Currently, all Board meetings are open to the public, and any person has the opportunity to contact the Board at any time. As such, consumer participation in Board activities does not require amendment of the Order. One comment objecting to the regulation of mangos was outside the scope of this rule. The Department has considered all of the comments and is not making any changes to the proposed rule. VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:22 Jun 21, 2011 Jkt 223001 After consideration of all relevant material presented, the Board’s recommendation, public comments and other information, it is hereby found that this rule, as published in the Federal Register [76 FR 13530] on March 14, 2011, is consistent with and will effectuate the purpose of the Act.

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)

aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 29, 2011 (76
FR 17364), and proposed to supersede AD 2010-02-02, Amendment 39-16173
(75 FR 1697, January 13, 2010). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

Several occurrences of untimely radio-altimeter 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.
To address this unsafe condition, [EASA] AD 2009-0208 was issued
on 13 October 2009 [which corresponds with FAA AD 2010-02-02]. It
mandated application of a new abnormal Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)
procedure when radio-altimeter 1 lock-up occurs and
prohibited dispatch of the aeroplane with any radio-altimeter
inoperative.
Since AD 2009-0208 was issued, Easy avionics load 10 has been
developed with change M0566 or Service Bulletin (SB) Falcon 7X
n[deg]100 that brings new features to display a ``RA miscompare''
flag on both Primary Display Units (PDU) and accepts a commanded
system reversion to the correct radio-altimeter output.
EASA AD 2009-0208R1 is issued to allow not deactivating radio-
altimeter 1 in case lock-up conditions occur in flight for
aeroplanes on which M0566 or SB Falcon 7X n[deg]100 has been
embodied.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Comments

We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

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 required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a Note within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this AD will affect about 24 products of U.S.
registry.
The actions that are required by AD 2010-02-02 and retained in this
AD take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85
per work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the
currently required actions is $85 per product.
We estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of this AD to the U.S. operators to be $2,040, or $85 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 AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone (800) 647-5527) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
