Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 51 / Wednesday, March 16, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
The Committee considered its expenses
and recommended decreasing the
assessment rate to more closely align
assessment income to the lower budget.
This rule continues in effect the
action that decreased the assessment
obligation imposed on handlers.
Assessments are applied uniformly on
all handlers and decreasing the
assessment rate reduces the burden on
handlers.
In addition, the Committee’s meeting
was widely publicized throughout the
Texas citrus industry and all interested
persons were invited to attend the
meeting and participate in Committee
deliberations on all issues. Like all
Committee meetings, the June 24, 2015,
meeting was a public meeting and all
entities, both large and small, were able
to express views on this issue.
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the order’s information
collection requirements have been
previously approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
assigned OMB No. 0581–0189 ‘‘Generic
Fruit Crops.’’ No changes in those
requirements as a result of this action
are necessary. Should any changes
become necessary, they would be
submitted to OMB for approval.
This action imposes no additional
reporting or recordkeeping requirements
on either small or large Texas orange
and grapefruit handlers. As with all
Federal marketing order programs,
reports and forms are periodically
reviewed to reduce information
requirements and duplication by
industry and public sector agencies.
USDA has not identified any relevant
Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or
conflict with this rule.
Comments on the interim rule were
required to be received on or before
January 15, 2016. No comments were
received. Therefore, for reasons given in
the interim rule, we are adopting the
interim rule as a final rule, without
change.
To view the interim rule, go to:
https://www.regulations.gov/#!document
Detail;D=AMS-FV-15-0035-0001.
This action also affirms information
contained in the interim rule concerning
Executive Orders 12866, 12988, 13175,
and 13563; the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35); and the EGov Act (44 U.S.C. 101).
After consideration of all relevant
material presented, it is found that
finalizing the interim rule, without
change, as published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 70669, November 16,
2015) will tend to effectuate the
declared policy of the Act.

Technical Amendment
On March 4, 2015, the FAA
published a final rule entitled ‘‘Air
Carrier Contract Maintenance
Requirements’’ which will result in new
information collection requirements.
This technical amendment updates the
FAA’s list of OMB control numbers to
display the control number associated
with the approved information
collection activities in the ‘‘Air Carrier
Contract Maintenance Requirements’’
final rule.
DATES: Effective March 16, 2016.

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 4, 2015, the FAA published
a final rule entitled ‘‘Air Carrier
Contract Maintenance Requirements’’
(80 FR 11537). This final rule amends
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
the maintenance regulations for
domestic, flag, and supplemental
operations, and for commuter and ondemand operations for aircraft type
certificated with a passenger seating
configuration of 10 seats or more
(excluding any pilot seat). The new
rules require affected air carriers and
operators to develop policies,
procedures, methods, and instructions
for performing contract maintenance
that are acceptable to the FAA, and
include them in their maintenance
manuals. This rule also requires the air
carriers and operators to provide a list
to the FAA of all persons with whom
they contract their maintenance. These
changes are needed because contract
maintenance has increased to over 70
percent of all air carrier maintenance,
and numerous investigations have
shown deficiencies in maintenance
performed by contract maintenance
providers.
This final rule will result in new
information collection requirements. As
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507(d)), the
FAA submitted these information
collection amendments to OMB for its
review.
On February 25, 2016, OMB approved
the information collection request. The
OMB control number is 2120–0766.
The FAA lists OMB control numbers
assigned to its information collection
activities in 14 CFR 11.201(b).
Accordingly, this technical amendment
updates 14 CFR 11.201(b) to display
OMB control number 2120–0766
associated with the information
collection activities in the final rule, Air
Carrier Contract Maintenance
Requirements. See 80 FR 11537.
Because this amendment is technical
in nature and results in no substantive
change, the FAA finds that the notice
and public procedures under 5 U.S.C.
553(b) are unnecessary. For the same
reason, the FAA finds good cause exists
under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the
amendment effective in less than 30
days.

AGENCY:
These special conditions are
issued for the Boeing Model 777–300ER
airplane. This airplane, as modified by
JAMCO America, Inc. (JAMCO), will
have a novel or unusual design feature
associated with side-facing, oblique
seats equipped with inflatable restraints.
The applicable airworthiness
regulations do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for
occupants of seats installed at an angle
of greater than 18 degrees, but
substantially less than 90 degrees, to the
centerline of the airplane, nor for airbag
devices. 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: The FAA
has determined that notice of, and
opportunity for prior public comment
on, these special conditions are
impracticable because these procedures
would significantly delay issuance of
the design approval and thus delivery of
the affected airplane.
The FAA therefore finds that good
cause exists for making these special
conditions effective upon publication in
the Federal Register.
Comments Invited
We invite interested people to take
part in this rulemaking by sending
written comments, data, or views. The
most helpful comments reference a
specific portion of the special
conditions, explain the reason for any
recommended change, and include
supporting data.
We will consider all comments we

conditions based on the comments we
receive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 4, 2015, the FAA published a final rule entitled ``Air
Carrier Contract Maintenance Requirements'' (80 FR 11537). This final
rule amends the maintenance regulations for domestic, flag, and
supplemental operations, and for commuter and on-demand operations for
aircraft type certificated with a passenger seating configuration of 10
seats or more (excluding any pilot seat). The new rules require
affected air carriers and operators to develop policies, procedures,
methods, and instructions for performing contract maintenance that are
acceptable to the FAA, and include them in their maintenance manuals.
This rule also requires the air carriers and operators to provide a
list to the FAA of all persons with whom they contract their
maintenance. These changes are needed because contract maintenance has
increased to over 70 percent of all air carrier maintenance, and
numerous investigations have shown deficiencies in maintenance
performed by contract maintenance providers.
This final rule will result in new information collection
requirements. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3507(d)), the FAA submitted these information collection
amendments to OMB for its review.
On February 25, 2016, OMB approved the information collection
request. The OMB control number is 2120-0766.
Technical Amendment
The FAA lists OMB control numbers assigned to its information
collection activities in 14 CFR 11.201(b). Accordingly, this technical
amendment updates 14 CFR 11.201(b) to display OMB control number 2120-
0766 associated with the information collection activities in the final
rule, Air Carrier Contract Maintenance Requirements. See 80 FR 11537.
Because this amendment is technical in nature and results in no
substantive change, the FAA finds that the notice and public procedures
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. For the same reason, the FAA
finds good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the amendment
effective in less than 30 days.
