SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Commodity Promotion, Research 

and Information Act of 1996 (7 U.S.C. 

7411–7425) (Act), it is hereby directed 

that a referendum be conducted to 

ascertain whether continuance of the 

Order (7 CFR part 1217) is favored by 

eligible domestic manufacturers and 

importers of softwood lumber. The 

Order is authorized under the Act. 

The representative period for 

establishing voter eligibility for the 

referendum shall be the period from 

January 1 through December 31, 2015. 

Persons who domestically manufactured 

and shipped or imported 15 million 

board feet or more of softwood lumber 

during the representative period, paid 

assessments during that period, and are 

currently softwood lumber 

manufacturers or importers subject to 

assessment under the Order are eligible 

to vote. Persons who received an 

exemption from assessments for the 

entire representative period are 

ineligible to vote. The referendum will 

be conducted by mail ballot from 

August 1 through 25, 2016. 

Section 518 of the Act authorizes 

continuance referenda. Under 

§ 1217.81(b) of the Order, the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA) must 

conduct a referendum 5 years after the 

program has been in effect to determine 

whether persons subject to assessment 

favor continuance of the Order. The 

program became effective in 2011. 

USDA would continue the Order if 

continuance is favored by a majority of 

the domestic manufacturers and 

importers voting in the referendum, 

who also represent a majority of the 

volume of softwood lumber represented 

in the referendum. 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35), the referendum ballot has 

been approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) and 

assigned OMB No. 0581–0093. It has 

been estimated that there are 

approximately 170 domestic 

manufacturers and 70 importers who 

will be eligible to vote in the 

referendum. It will take an average of 15 

minutes for each voter to read the voting 

instructions and complete the 

referendum ballot. 

Referendum Order 

Maureen Pello, Marketing Specialist, 

and Heather Pichelman, Director, PED, 

SC, AMS, USDA, Stop 0244, Room 

1406–S, 1400 Independence Avenue 

SW., Washington, DC 20250–0244, are 

designated as the referendum agents to 

conduct this referendum. The 

referendum procedures at 7 CFR 

1217.100 through 1217.108, which were 

issued pursuant to the Act, shall be used 

to conduct the referendum. 

The referendum agent will mail the 

ballots to be cast in the referendum and 

voting instructions to all known, eligible 

domestic manufacturers and importers 

prior to the first day of the voting 

period. Persons who domestically 

manufactured and shipped or imported 

15 million board feet or more of 

softwood lumber during the 

representative period, paid assessments 

during that period, and are currently 

softwood lumber domestic 

manufacturers or importers subject to 

assessment under the Order are eligible 

to vote. Persons who received an 

exemption from assessments during the 

entire representative period are 

ineligible to vote. Any eligible domestic 

manufacturer or importer who does not 

receive a ballot should contact the 

referendum agent no later than one 

week before the end of the voting 

period. Ballots must be received by the 

referendum agent by 4:30 p.m. Eastern 

time, August 25, 2016, in order to be 

counted.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 787–8 

airplanes. This AD requires revising the 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to include an airworthiness 

limitation for repetitive inspections of 

the web fastener holes in the overwing 

flex-tees. This AD was prompted by a 

report that certain web fastener holes in 

the overwing flex-tees at the wing-tobody interface might not have been 

deburred properly when manufactured. 

Fastener holes without the deburr 

chamfer applied can develop fatigue 

cracking. We are issuing this AD to 

detect and correct cracking in the web 

fastener holes in the overwing flex-tees, 

which can weaken the primary wing 

structure so it cannot sustain limit load. 

DATES: This AD is effective March 9, 

2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of March 9, 2016. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by April 8, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

Discussion 

We received a report that certain web 

fastener holes in the overwing flex-tees 

at the wing-to-body interface might not 

have been deburred properly when 

manufactured. A deburr chamfer should 

have been applied to the fastener holes 

in the overwing flex-tees. Fastener holes 

without the deburr chamfer applied can 

develop fatigue cracking before the 

required supplemental structural fatigue 

inspections are scheduled to begin. 

Such fatigue cracking, if not corrected, 

could result in the primary wing 

structure being weakened so it cannot 

sustain limit load. We are issuing this 

AD to correct the unsafe condition on 

these products. 

Related Service Information Under 

1 CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Boeing 787 

Airworthiness Limitations—Line 

Number Specific, D011Z009–03–02, 

dated February 2015. The service 

information contains airworthiness 

limitation tasks pertaining to 

inspections for web fastener holes in the 

overwing flex-tees at the wing-to-body 

interface. 

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. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are issuing 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 the same 

type design. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires revising the 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to include an airworthiness 

limitation for repetitive inspection of 

the web fastener holes in the overwing 

flex-tees. 

This AD requires revisions to certain 

operator maintenance documents to 

include new actions (e.g., inspections). 

Compliance with these actions is 

required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For 

airplanes that have been previously 

modified, altered, or repaired in the 

areas addressed by this AD, the operator 

may not be able to accomplish the 

actions described in the revisions. In 

this situation, to comply with 14 CFR 

91.403(c), the operator must request 

approval for an alternative method of 

compliance according to paragraph (h) 

of this AD. The request should include 

a description of changes to the required 

actions that will ensure the continued 

operational safety of the airplane. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

There are no products of this type 

currently registered in the United States. 

However, this rule is necessary to 

ensure that the described unsafe 

condition is addressed if any of these 

products are placed on the U.S. Register 

in the future. Therefore, we find that 

notice and opportunity for prior public 

comment are unnecessary and that good 

cause exists for making this amendment 

effective in less than 30 days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety and 

was not preceded by notice and an 

opportunity for public comment. 

However, we invite you to send any 

written data, views, or arguments about 

this AD. Send your comments to an 

address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include the docket number 

FAA–2016–3699 and Directorate 

Identifier 2015–NM–109–AD at the 

beginning of your comments. We 

specifically invite comments on the 

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this AD. We will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http://

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 0 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Maintenance/inspection program revision ...... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ................. $0 $85 $0 

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 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 35 / Tuesday, February 23, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 8825 

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 

This AD will not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This AD will 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 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

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.
