SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
European larch canker (ELC),
Lachnellula willkommi (Dasycypha), is a
serious plant disease caused by a fungus
that can kill mature and immature
species of the genus Larix (larch) and
Pseudolarix (Golden larch).
Under the regulations in ‘‘Subpart–
European Larch Canker’’ (7 CFR 301.91
through 301.91–9, referred to below as
the regulations), we restrict the
interstate movement of certain regulated
articles from regulated areas to prevent
the spread of ELC. These regulations,
which were established in May 1984,
list parts of several counties in Maine as
regulated areas.
In an interim rule 1 effective and
published in the Federal Register on
August 23, 2011 (76 FR 52543–52544,
Docket No. APHIS–2011–0029), we
amended the regulations to expand the
regulated area for ELC to include
additional areas in Maine. We also
corrected some misidentifications of
previously listed regulated areas.
Comments on the interim rule were
required to be received on or before
October 24, 2011.
We did not receive any comments.
Therefore, for the reasons given in the
interim rule, we are adopting the
interim rule as a final rule without
change.
This action also affirms the
information contained in the interim
rule concerning Executive Order 12866
and the Regulatory Flexibility Act,
Executive Orders 12372 and 12988, and
the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Further, for this action, the Office of
Management and Budget has waived its
review under Executive Order 12866.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 30, 2006, GALP applied for
a type certificate for their new Model
G280 airplane. The Model G280 will
have a novel or unusual design feature
associated with operation without
normal electrical power.
Type Certification Basis
Under the provisions of Title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 21.17,
GALP must show that the Model G280
airplane meets the applicable provisions
of part 25 as amended by Amendments
25–1 through 25–117.
If the Administrator finds that the
applicable airworthiness regulations
(i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain
adequate or appropriate safety standards
for the Model G280 airplane because of
a novel or unusual design feature,
special conditions are prescribed under
the provisions of § 21.16.
Special conditions are initially
