SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
(7 CFR part 915), hereinafter referred to
as the ‘‘order,’’ and the applicable
provisions of the Agricultural Marketing
Agreement Act of 1937, as amended (7
U.S.C. 601–674), hereinafter referred to
as the ‘‘Act,’’ it is hereby directed that
a referendum be conducted to ascertain
whether continuance of the order is
favored by producers. The referendum
shall be conducted from January 12
through January 27, 2015, among
Florida avocados growers in the
production area. Only Florida avocado
producers that were engaged in the
production of Florida avocado, during
the period of April 1, 2013, through
March 31, 2014, may participate in the
continuance referendum.
USDA has determined that
continuance referenda are an effective
means for determining whether
producers favor the continuation of
marketing order programs. USDA would
consider termination of the order if less
than two-thirds of the producers voting
in the referendum and less than twothirds of the volume of Florida avocados
represented in the referendum favor
continuance. In evaluating the merits of
continuance versus termination, USDA
will not exclusively consider the results
of the continuance referendum. USDA
will also consider all other relevant
information concerning the operation of
the order and the relative benefits and
disadvantages to producers, handlers,
and consumers in order to determine
whether continued operation of the
order would tend to effectuate the
declared policy of the Act.
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), the ballot materials to be used in
the referendum have been submitted to
and approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
have been assigned OMB No. 0581–
0189, Generic Fruit Crops. It has been
estimated that it will take an average of
20 minutes for each of the
approximately 300 producers of Florida
avocados to cast a ballot. Participation
is voluntary. Ballots postmarked after
January 27, 2015, will not be included
in the vote tabulation.
Doris Jamieson and Christian D.
Nissen of the Southeast Marketing Field
Office, Fruit and Vegetable Program,
AMS, USDA, are hereby designated as
the referendum agents of the Secretary
of Agriculture to conduct this
referendum. The procedure applicable
PO 00000

to the referendum shall be the
‘‘Procedure for the Conduct of
Referenda in Connection With
Marketing Orders for Fruits, Vegetables,
and Nuts Pursuant to the Agricultural
Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as
Amended’’ (7 CFR 900.400–900.407).
Ballots will be mailed to all producers
of record and may also be obtained from
the referendum agents, or from their
appointees.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

AGENCY:
We propose to revise
airworthiness directive (AD) 2014–17–
08 that applies to all Pratt & Whitney
Canada Corp. (P&WC) PT6A–114 and
PT6A–114A turboprop engines. AD
2014–17–08 requires initial and
repetitive borescope inspections (BSIs)
of compressor turbine (CT) blades, and
the removal from service of blades that
fail inspection. Since we issued AD
2014–17–08, P&WC developed an
additional single crystal CT blade that
corrects the unsafe condition. This
proposed AD would retain all the
requirements of AD 2014–17–08, add an
additional single crystal CT blade that
corrects the unsafe condition, reduce
the affected population, and correct the
Credit for Previous Action paragraph.
