history card or equivalent record for TT strap
P/N 2604067 and P/N 117–14110. Determine

of the applicable maintenance manual or ICA
or the component history card or equivalent
record do not specify a life limit for the TT
strap, or if they specify a different life limit
than in paragraph (e)(1), do the following:

section of the applicable maintenance
manual or ICA by establishing a life limit of
25,000 flights or 10 years since date of
manufacture, whichever occurs first, for each
TT strap P/N 2604067 and P/N 117–14110 by
making pen-and-ink changes or by inserting
a copy of this AD into the Airworthiness

helicopter lifts off into the air and then lands
again regardless of the duration of the
landing and regardless of whether the engine
is shut down.

equivalent record for each TT strap P/N
2604067 and P/N 117–14110, if one does not
exist, and record a life limit of 25,000 flights
or 10 years since date of manufacture,

Disestablishment of Danger Zone for
Meteorological Rocket Launching
Facility, Shemya Island Area, AK
AGENCY:
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Proposed rule.
The U.S. Air Force has
requested that the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) disestablish the
existing danger zone located in the
Bering Sea near Shemya Island, Alaska.
The danger zone was established on
September 28, 1971. The purpose of the
danger zone was to protect persons and
property from dangers encountered in
the area associated with the launching
of weather rockets. The facility has not
been used for this activity since the
mid-1980s. As a result of the
discontinued use of this area, the Air
Force has requested the danger zone be
disestablished. In the ‘‘Rules and
Regulations’’ section of Federal
Register, we are publishing the
restricted area disestablishment as a
direct final rule without prior proposal
because we view this as a noncontroversial adjustment to our
restricted area regulations and
anticipate no adverse comment. We
have explained our reasons for this
approval in the preamble to the direct
final rule. If we receive no adverse
comment, we will not take further
action on this rule and it will go into
effect. If we receive adverse comment,
we will withdraw the direct final rule
and it will not take effect. We will

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the New Jersey
Department of Environmental

Clifton, Passaic and Paterson in Passaic
County. EPA is also proposing to
approve the 2007 Attainment/Base Year
CO emissions inventory. In addition,
EPA proposes to approve the shutdown
of 5 CO maintenance monitors in New
Jersey. The New Jersey portion of the
NYNNJLI CO area was redesignated to
attainment of the CO National Ambient
Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) on
August 23, 2002 and the maintenance
plan was also approved at that time. By
