choose one hundred percent (100%) of the price election for commodity type ruby red grapefruit with an intended use of fresh, you must also choose one hundred percent (100%) of the price election for commodity type ruby red grapefruit with an intended use of juice.

(b) The production guarantee per acre is progressive by stage and increases from the first stage production guarantee to the second stage production guarantee. The stages are as follows:

(1) The first stage extends from the date insurance attaches through April 30 of the calendar year of normal bloom.

(2) The second stage extends from May 1 of the calendar year of normal
bloom until the end of the insurance period.

* * * * *

(e) We will reduce the yield used to establish your production guarantee, as necessary, based on our estimate of the effect of any circumstance that may reduce your yields from previous levels. Examples of these circumstances that may reduce yield may include, but are not necessarily limited to, interplanted agricultural commodities; tree removal, topping, hedging, or pruning of trees; damage; and change in practices. If the
circumstance occurred:

(1) Before the beginning of the insurance period and you notify us by the production reporting date, the yield used to establish your production guarantee will be reduced for the current crop year regardless of whether
the circumstance was due to an insured or uninsured cause of loss;

(2) After the beginning of the insurance period and you notify us by the production reporting date, the yield used to establish your production guarantee will be reduced for the current crop year only if the potential reduction in the yield used to establish your production guarantee is due to an uninsured cause of loss; or

(3) Before or after the beginning of the insurance period and you fail to notify us by the production reporting date, an amount equal to the reduction in the yield will be added to the production to count calculated in section 12(c) of these Crop Provisions due to uninsured causes. We will reduce the yield used to establish your production guarantee for the subsequent crop year to reflect any reduction in the productive capacity of the trees or in the yield potential of the insured acreage.

* * * * *

(g) In lieu of the provisions in section 3 of the Basic Provisions that require reporting your production for the previous crop year, for each crop year you must report your production from two crop years ago ( e.g., on the 2018 crop year production report, you will provide your 2016 crop year production).

7. Insured Crop

(a) In accordance with section 8 of the Basic Provisions, the insured crop will be each citrus fruit group you elect to insure and for which a premium rate is provided by the actuarial documents:

* * * * *

(b) For each insured crop,
administrative fees will be assessed in
accordance with section 6 of the Catastrophic Risk Protection
Endorsement and section 7 of the Basic

Provisions.

8. Insurable Acreage

In lieu of the provisions in section 9 of the Basic Provisions that prohibit insurance attaching to an insured crop interplanted with another agricultural commodity, interplanted acreage is uninsurable, except that a citrus fruit group interplanted with another perennial agricultural commodity is insurable unless we inspect the acreage
and determine it does not meet the requirements contained in your policy.

* * * * *

10. Causes of Loss

* * * * *

(a) * * * (9) Insects and plant disease, unless
excluded or otherwise restricted through the Special Provisions, provided the loss of production is not due to damage resulting from insufficient or improper application of control measures as recommended by agricultural experts.

(b) In addition to the causes of loss
excluded in section 12 of the Basic Provisions, we will not insure against damage or loss of production due to the inability to market the citrus for any reason other than actual physical damage from an insurable cause of loss specified in this section. For example, we will not pay you an indemnity if you are unable to market due to quarantine, boycott, or refusal of any person to accept production.

11. Duties in the Event of Damage or

Loss

(a) In accordance with the requirements of section 14 of the Basic Provisions, you must leave representative samples. In lieu of the requirements of section 14(c)(3) of the Basic Provisions, we will determine
which trees must remain unharvested so that we may inspect them in accordance with FCIC procedures. (b) * * * (2) If you intend to claim an indemnity on any unit, you must notify us at least 15 days prior to the beginning of harvest, or within 24 hours if damage is discovered during harvest, so we may have an opportunity to inspect the unit. You must not sell or dispose of the damaged crop until after we have given you written consent to do so. If you fail to meet the requirements of this section, all such production will be considered undamaged and included as production

to count.

12. Settlement of Claim

* * * * *

(b) * * * (1) Multiplying the insured acreage for each combination of commodity type and intended use by its respective production guarantee;

* * * * *

(e) Any citrus fruit insured with an
intended use of fresh that is not
marketable as fresh fruit due to insurable causes will be adjusted by multiplying the number of tons of such citrus fruit by the applicable Fresh Fruit Factor contained in the Special

Provisions.

located at certain body stations, and repair if necessary. Since we issued AD 2008–05–06, we have determined that certain repairs and preventive modifications of certain longitudinal floor beam webs inadvertently omitted installation of tapered fillers. Omission of the tapered fillers creates a preload condition that may promote undetected fatigue cracking and subsequent failure of certain longitudinal floor beams. For certain airplanes, this proposed AD would require an inspection to determine if tapered fillers are installed, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the upper and lower chords and web of the longitudinal floor beams, which could result in rapid loss of cabin

pressure.

Discussion

On February 20, 2008, we issued AD 2008–05–06, Amendment 39–15400 (73 FR 11538, March 4, 2008), for certain The Boeing Company Model 737–100, –200, –300, –400, and –500 series airplanes. AD 2008–05–06 requires repetitive inspections for fatigue cracking in the longitudinal floor beam web, upper chord, and lower chord located at certain body stations, and repair if necessary. AD 2008–05–06 refers to Boeing Service Bulletin 737– 57–1296, dated June 13, 2007, as an appropriate source of service information for accomplishing the required actions. AD 2008–05–06 resulted from reports of cracks in the center wing box longitudinal floor beams, upper chord, and lower chord.
We issued AD 2008–05–06 to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the upper and
lower chords and web of the longitudinal floor beams, which could result in rapid loss of cabin pressure. Actions Since AD 2008–05–06, Amendment 39–15400 (73 FR 11538, March 4, 2008), Was Issued

Since we issued AD 2008–05–06, Amendment 39–15400 (73 FR 11538, March 4, 2008), Boeing issued Boeing Service Bulletin 737–57–1296, Revision 1, dated September 26, 2012, which is an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) for the actions required by AD
2008–05–06. We have determined that Boeing Service Bulletin 737–57–1296, Revision 1, dated September 26, 2012, inadvertently omitted installation of tapered fillers during the repair and preventive modification of certain longitudinal floor beam webs. Omission of the tapered fillers creates a preload condition that may promote undetected fatigue cracking and subsequent failure of the longitudinal floor beams at buttock line (BL) 24.82 and BL 45.57.

Related Service Information Under

1 CFR Part 51

We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737–57A1296, Revision 2, dated April 1, 2015. The service information describes procedures for various inspections for fatigue cracks in the longitudinal floor beam web, upper chord, and lower chord, located at the applicable body stations, repairs (including related investigative and corrective actions), and preventive modifications (including related investigative and corrective actions) that terminate the repetitive inspections. The
service information also describes procedures for an inspection to determine if tapered fillers are installed, and related investigative and corrective
actions. This service information is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the

**ADDRESSES** section of this NPRM.

FAA’s Determination

We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all the relevant information
and determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of these same type designs.

Proposed AD Requirements

This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2008–05–06, Amendment 39–15400 (73 FR 11538, March 4, 2008). This proposed AD would also require accomplishing the actions specified in the service information described previously, except as discussed under ‘‘Differences Between this Proposed AD and the
Service Information.’’ For information on the procedures and compliance

times, see this service information at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA–2015–

8131.

The phrase ‘‘related investigative actions’’ is used in this proposed AD. ‘‘Related investigative actions’’ are follow-on actions that (1) are related to the primary action, and (2) further investigate the nature of any condition found. Related investigative actions in an AD could include, for example, inspections.

The phrase ‘‘corrective actions’’ is used in this proposed AD. ‘‘Corrective
actions’’ are actions that correct or address any condition found. Corrective actions in an AD could include, for example, repairs.

Formatting and Other Changes Between AD 2008–05–06, Amendment 39–15400 (73 FR 11538, March 4, 2008) and This Proposed AD

Since AD 2008–05–06, Amendment 39–15400 (73 FR 11538, March 4, 2008), was issued, the AD format has been revised, and certain paragraphs have been rearranged. As a result, the corresponding paragraph identifiers have been redesignated in this proposed AD, as listed in the following table: 

### R EVISED 

### PARAGRAPH 

### I DENTIFIERS

Requirement in AD 2008–05–06, Amendment 39– 15400 (73 FR 11538, March 4, 2008) Corresponding requirement in this

proposed AD

paragraph (f) paragraph (g) paragraph (g) paragraph (h)

In addition, airplane groups identified in Boeing Service Bulletin 737–57– 1296, dated June 13, 2007, which is referred to as the appropriate source of service information for accomplishing the actions required by AD 2008–05–06, Amendment 39–15400 (73 FR 11538, March 4, 2008), do not, in all cases, match the airplane groups for Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737–57A1296, Revision 2, dated April 1, 2015, which is the appropriate source of service information for accomplishing the new actions specified in this proposed AD.

Also, operators of Group 5 airplanes identified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737–57A1296, Revision 2, dated April 1, 2015, must contact the
FAA for actions instead of accomplishing the actions specified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737– 57A1296, Revision 2, dated April 1, 2015. The procedures for inspections and corrective actions specified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737– 57A1296, Revision 2, dated April 1, 2015, do not apply to these airplanes (line numbers 1 through 291).

Differences Between This Proposed AD
and the Service Information

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737– 57A1296, Revision 2, dated April 1, 2015, specifies to contact the
manufacturer for instructions on how to repair certain conditions, but this proposed AD would require repairing those conditions in one of the following

ways:

• In accordance with a method that

we approve; or

• Using data that meet the certification basis of the airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom
we have authorized to make those findings.

Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this proposed AD affects 652 airplanes of U.S. registry.

We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:



### E STIMATED 

### COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators

[1] We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide parts cost estimates for the actions specified in this proposed AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA’s authority to issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the Agency’s authority.

We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking

action.

Regulatory Findings

We have determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and


### 1348 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 12, 2016 / Proposed Rules

responsibilities among the various levels of government.

For the reasons discussed above, I certify that the proposed regulation:

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866,

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and

(4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part
39 as follows:

**PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS**
