Revisions to the Voluntary Tanker Agreement
The Maritime Administration announces the text of a revised Voluntary Tanker Agreement, pursuant to Section 708 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 App. U.S.C. 2158). This text revises and replaces the Agreement as it was last published in Volume 48 of the Federal Register at page 38715 (August 25, 1983) and is issued in accordance with the provisions of 44 CFR Part 332. Because this revised Agreement contains extensive changes, both former and new participants should submit new applications which are available from the Maritime Administration. The complete, draft text of the VTA is published below. Copies of the Agreement and Application are being sent to U.S. companies that own, operate, or charter tankers and ocean-going tugs and tank barges. Copies are also available to the public upon request. The Maritime Administration will also hold a public meeting to receive input for developing the final text of the VTA.

Airworthiness Directives; Thrush Aircraft, Inc. Models S2R Series Airplanes
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Thrush Aircraft, Inc. (Thrush) Model S2R series airplanes. This proposed AD would require repetitive visual inspections of the vertical and horizontal stabilizer attach fitting, attach fitting bolts, and the vertical fin aft spar for cracks or corrosion and require immediate replacement of cracked or corroded parts and eventual replacement if no cracks or corrosion is found as terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This proposed AD results from reports of cracks in the empennage of Thrush S2R series airplanes. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct these cracks, which could cause the vertical stabilizer to lose structural integrity. This condition could lead to loss of control.
