(5) How can DOI best assure that its 

regulations are guided by objective 

scientific evidence? 

(6) Are there better ways to encourage 

public participation and an open 

exchange of views when DOI engages in 

rulemaking? 

(7) Is there a rule or guidance that is 

working well that DOI could use as a 

model for improving other regulations 

or guidance? If so, please specifically 

identify the rule or guidance and 

explain the aspects of the rule or 

guidance that work well and why you 

think it works well. 

(8) How can DOI better scale its 

regulations to lessen the burdens 

imposed on small entities within the 

existing statutory requirements? Please 

identify any regulations that, under the 

applicable laws, could exempt small 

entities or provide more flexible or less 

burdensome requirements. 

(9) Are DOI regulations and guidance 

written in language that is clear and 

easy to understand? Please identify 

specific regulations and guidance that 

are good candidates for a plain language 

re-write. 

(10) What are some suggestions that 

DOI can use to assure that its 

regulations promote its mission in ways 

that are most efficient and least 

burdensome? 

DOI will consider public input as we

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NOP 

is authorized by the Organic Foods 

Production Act (OFPA) of 1990, as 

amended (7 U.S.C. 6501–6522). The 

Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) 

administers the NOP. Under the NOP, 

the AMS oversees national standards for 

the production, handling, and labeling 

of organically produced agricultural 

products. Final regulations 

implementing the National Organic 

Program (NOP) were published 

December 21, 2000 (65 FR 80548), and 

became effective on October 21, 2002. 

On March 24, 2006, AMS published 

in the Federal Register (71 FR 14827), 

its schedule to review certain 

regulations, including the NOP 

regulations, under criteria contained in 

section 610 of the RFA (5 U.S.C. 601– 

612). Because many AMS regulations 

impact small entities, AMS decided, as 

a matter of policy, to periodically 

review regulations, irrespective of 

whether specific regulations meet the 

threshold requirement for mandatory 

review established by the RFA. As a 

result, the Agency is now conducting 

this review of the NOP regulations. 

The purpose of the review is to 

determine whether the NOP regulations 

should be continued without change, 

amended, or rescinded, consistent with 

the objectives of applicable statutes, to 

minimize the impacts on small entities. 

In conducting this review, the AMS will 

consider the following factors: (1) The 

continued need for the regulations; (2) 

the nature of complaints or comments 

received from the public concerning the 

regulations; (3) the complexity of the 

regulations; (4) the extent to which the 

regulations overlap, duplicate, or 

conflict with other Federal rules, and, to 

the extent feasible, with State and local 

regulations; and (5) the length of time 

since the regulations have been 

evaluated or the degree to which 

technology, economic conditions, or

other factors have changed in the area 

affected by the regulations. 

Written comments, views, opinions, 

and other information regarding the 

impact of the NOP regulations on small 

businesses are invited.

conditions. 

SUMMARY: This action proposes special 

conditions for the Gulfstream GVI 

airplane. This airplane may have novel 

or unusual design features associated 

with connectivity of the passenger 

domain computer systems to the 

airplane critical systems and data 

networks. The applicable airworthiness 

regulations do not contain adequate or 

appropriate safety standards for these 

design features. These proposed 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. 

DATES: We must receive your comments 

by April 11, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You must mail two copies 

of your comments to: Federal Aviation 

Administration, Transport Airplane

Background 

On March 29, 2005, Gulfstream 

Aerospace Corporation (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘Gulfstream’’) applied for 

an FAA type certificate for its new 

Gulfstream Model GVI passenger 

airplane. Gulfstream later applied for, 

and was granted, an extension of time 

for the type certificate, which changed 

the effective application date to 

September 28, 2006. The Gulfstream 

Model GVI airplane will be an all-new, 

two-engine jet transport airplane with 

an executive cabin interior. The 

maximum takeoff weight will be 99,600 

pounds, with a maximum passenger 

count of 19 passengers. 

Type Certification Basis 

Under provisions of Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 21.17, 

Gulfstream must show that the 

Gulfstream Model GVI airplane 

(hereafter referred to as ‘‘the GVI’’) meets 

the applicable provisions of 14 CFR part 

25, as amended by Amendments 25–1 

through 25–119, 25–122, and 25–124. If 

the Administrator finds that the 

applicable airworthiness regulations 

(i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain 

adequate or appropriate safety standards 

for the GVI because of a novel or 

unusual design feature, special 

conditions are prescribed under the 

provisions of § 21.16. 

In addition to complying with the 

applicable airworthiness regulations 

and special conditions, the GVI must 

comply with the fuel vent and exhaust 

emission requirements of 14 CFR part 

34 and the noise certification 

requirements of 14 CFR part 36. The 

FAA must also issue a finding of 

regulatory adequacy pursuant to section 

611 of Public Law 92–574, the ‘‘Noise 

Control Act of 1972.’’ 

The FAA issues special conditions, as 

defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in accordance 

with § 11.38, and they become part of 

the type certification basis under 

§ 21.17(a)(2). 

Special conditions are initially 

applicable to the model for which they 

are issued. Should the type certificate 

for that model be amended later to 

include any other model that 

incorporates the same novel or unusual 

design features, the special conditions 

would also apply to the other model 

under provisions of § 21.101. 

Novel or Unusual Design Features 

The GVI will incorporate the 

following novel or unusual design 

features: Digital systems architecture 

composed of several connected 

networks. The proposed architecture 

and network configuration may be used 

for, or interfaced with, a diverse set of 

functions, including: 

1. Flight-safety related control, 

communication, and navigation systems 

(aircraft control domain), 

2. Airline business and administrative 

support (airline information domain), 

3. Passenger information and 

entertainment systems (passenger 

entertainment domain), and 

4. The capability to allow access to or 

by external sources. 

Discussion of Proposed Special 

Conditions 

The proposed Model GVI integrated 

network configuration may allow 

increased connectivity with external 

network sources and will have more 

interconnected networks and systems, 

such as passenger entertainment and 

information services, than previous 

Gulfstream airplane models. This may 

allow the exploitation of network 

security vulnerabilities and increase
