Golden Nematode; Removal of
Regulated Areas in Orleans, Nassau,

Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Affirmation of interim rule as
final rule.
AGENCY:
We are adopting as a final
rule, without change, an interim rule
that amended the golden nematode
regulations by removing areas in
Orleans, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties
in the State of New York from the list
of generally infested areas. The interim
rule was necessary to relieve restrictions
on the movement of regulated articles
from areas no longer under quarantine
for golden nematode. As a result of the
interim rule, movement of such articles
from areas no longer under quarantine
can proceed while preventing the
spread of golden nematode from
infested areas to noninfested areas of the
United States.
DATES: Effective on February 23, 2016,
we are adopting as a final rule the
interim rule published at 80 FR 59551–
59557 on October 2, 2015.

Background
In an interim rule1 effective and
published in the Federal Register on
October 2, 2015 (80 FR 59551–59557,
Docket No. APHIS–2015–0040), we
amended the golden nematode
regulations in 7 CFR part 301 by
removing areas in Orleans, Nassau, and
Suffolk Counties in the State of New
York from the list of areas regulated for
golden nematode.
Comments on the interim rule were
required to be received on or before
December 1, 2015. 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.
List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 301

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Commodity Promotion, Research
and Information Act of 1996 (7 U.S.C.
7411–7425) (Act), it is hereby directed
that a referendum be conducted to
ascertain whether continuance of the
Order (7 CFR part 1217) is favored by
eligible domestic manufacturers and
importers of softwood lumber. The
Order is authorized under the Act.
The representative period for
establishing voter eligibility for the
referendum shall be the period from
January 1 through December 31, 2015.
Persons who domestically manufactured
and shipped or imported 15 million
board feet or more of softwood lumber
during the representative period, paid
assessments during that period, and are

Section 518 of the Act authorizes
continuance referenda. Under
§ 1217.81(b) of the Order, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) must
conduct a referendum 5 years after the
program has been in effect to determine
whether persons subject to assessment
favor continuance of the Order. The
program became effective in 2011.
USDA would continue the Order if
continuance is favored by a majority of
the domestic manufacturers and
importers voting in the referendum,
who also represent a majority of the
volume of softwood lumber represented
in the referendum.
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35), the referendum ballot has
been approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
assigned OMB No. 0581–0093. It has

Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 787–8
airplanes. This AD requires revising the
maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to include an airworthiness
limitation for repetitive inspections of
the web fastener holes in the overwing
flex-tees. This AD was prompted by a
report that certain web fastener holes in
the overwing flex-tees at the wing-tobody interface might not have been
deburred properly when manufactured.
Fastener holes without the deburr
chamfer applied can develop fatigue
cracking. We are issuing this AD to
detect and correct cracking in the web
fastener holes in the overwing flex-tees,
which can weaken the primary wing
structure so it cannot sustain limit load.
DATES: This AD is effective March 9,
2016.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of a certain publication listed in this AD
as of March 9, 2016.
We must receive comments on this
AD by April 8, 2016.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments,
using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following
methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to
https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
