the fruit is released for entry into the 

United States. 

(2) A biometric sample of the boxes, 

crates, or other APHIS-approved 

packing containers from each 

consignment will be selected by the 

NPPO of Chile, and the fruit from these 

boxes, crates, or other APHIS-approved 

packing containers will be visually 

inspected for quarantine pests. A 

portion of the fruit must be washed with 

soapy water and the collected filtrate 

must be microscopically examined for 

B. chilensis. If a single live B. chilensis 

mite is found during the inspection 

process, the certified low-prevalence 

production site where the fruit was 

grown will lose its certification. 

(e) Phytosanitary certificate. Each 

consignment of fresh baby kiwi must be 

accompanied by a phytosanitary 

certificate issued by the NPPO of Chile 

that contains an additional declaration 

stating that the fruit in the consignment 

was inspected and found free of 

Brevipalpus chilensis and was grown, 

packed, and shipped in accordance with 

the requirements of 7 CFR 319.56–53.

ACTION: Correcting amendment. 

SUMMARY: In a final rule that was 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 22, 2011, and effective on April 

21, 2011, we amended the regulations 

for the control of H5/H7 low pathogenic 

avian influenza to simplify the list of 

types of poultry eligible for 100 percent 

indemnity, among other changes. This 

document corrects an error in our 

amendatory instructions accomplishing 

that change.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In a final rule that was published in 

the Federal Register on March 22, 2011 

(76 FR 15791–15798, Docket No. 

APHIS–2009–0031), and effective on 

April 21, 2011, we amended the 

National Poultry Improvement Plan (the 

Plan) and its auxiliary provisions by 

providing new or modified sampling 

and testing procedures for Plan 

participants and participating flocks. 

We also amended the regulations in 9 

CFR part 56, which set out conditions 

for the payment of indemnity for costs 

associated with poultry that are infected 

with or exposed to the H5 or H7 

subtypes of low pathogenic avian 

influenza. 

In § 56.3, we simplified the list of 

types of poultry eligible for 100 percent 

indemnity in paragraph (b) by replacing 

former paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(6) 

with new paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) 

and redesignating former paragraph 

(b)(7) as paragraph (b)(3). However, our 

amendatory instructions for 

accomplishing this change neglected to 

remove former paragraph (b)(3), 

resulting in the presence of two 

paragraphs designated (b)(3) in the Code 

of Federal Regulations. This document 

corrects that error.

SUMMARY: We are adopting as a final 

rule, without change, an interim rule 

that amended the brucellosis regulations 

concerning the interstate movement of 

swine by adding Texas to the list of 

validated brucellosis-free States. The 

interim rule was necessary to relieve 

certain restrictions on interstate 

movement of breeding swine from 

Texas. 

DATES: Effective on October 25, 2011, 

we are adopting as a final rule the 

interim rule published at 76 FR 28885– 

28886 on May 19, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Brucellosis is a contagious disease 

caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella. 

The disease mainly affects cattle, bison, 

and swine, but goats, sheep, horses, and 

even humans are susceptible. In its 

principal animal hosts, it causes loss of 

young through spontaneous abortion or 

birth of weak offspring, reduced milk 

production, and infertility. There is no 

economically feasible treatment for 

brucellosis in livestock. In humans, 

brucellosis initially causes flu-like 

symptoms, but the disease may develop 

into a variety of chronic conditions, 

including arthritis. Humans can be 

treated for brucellosis with antibiotics. 

In an interim rule 1 effective and 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 19, 2011 (76 FR 28885–28886, 

Docket No. APHIS–2011–0005), we 

amended the brucellosis regulations in 

9 CFR part 78 by adding Texas to the list 

of validated brucellosis-free States in 

§ 78.43. That action relieved certain

restrictions on the interstate movement 

of breeding swine from Texas. 

Comments on the interim rule were 

required to be received on or before July 

18, 2011. We received one comment by 

that date. The comment, from a State 

animal health agency, supported the 

interim rule. Therefore, for the reasons 

given in the interim rule, we are 

adopting the interim rule as a final rule 

without change. 

This action also affirms the 

information contained in the interim 

rule concerning Executive Order 12866 

and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 

Executive Orders 12372 and 12988, and 

the Paperwork Reduction Act. 

Further, for this action, the Office of 

Management and Budget has waived its 

review under Executive Order 12866.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Airbus Model A310 series airplanes; 

Model A300 B4–600, B4–600R, and F4– 

600R series airplanes; and Model C4– 

605R variant F airplanes (collectively 

called A300–600 series airplanes). This 

AD results from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

An operator reported several cases of wire 

damages at the pylon/wing interface. 

Analysis revealed that wires damages are due 

to installation quality issue resulting from 

lack of information in installation drawings 

and job cards. 

Moreover detailed analysis has highlighted 

that the Low Pressure Valve (LPV) wires were 

not segregated by design. 

* * * * * 

If left uncorrected, the wire chafing could 

impact fire protection and detection system. 

It may also induce dormant failure on LPV 

preventing its closure leading to a permanent 

and uncontrolled fire (in case of fire ignited 

upstream the High Pressure Valve (HPV)). 

* * * * * 

We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to correct the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

November 29, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on March 22, 2011 (76 FR 

15870). That NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The European Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 

Agent for the Member States of the 

European Community, has issued 

revised parallel mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) AD 

2010–0178R1, dated May 20, 2011. The 

revised MCAI states: 

An operator reported several cases of wire 

damages at the pylon/wing interface. 

Analysis revealed that wires damages are due 

to installation quality issue resulting from 

lack of information in installation drawings 

and job cards. 

Moreover detailed analysis has highlighted 

that the Low Pressure Valve (LPV) wires were 

not segregated by design. 

Due to design similarities, A310, A300–600 

and A300–600ST aeroplanes can be affected, 

depending on the wires installation in the 

concerned area. 

If left uncorrected, the wire chafing could 

impact fire protection and detection system. 

It may also induce dormant failure on LPV 

preventing its closure leading to a permanent 

and uncontrolled fire (in case of fire ignited 

upstream the High Pressure Valve (HPV)). 

For the reasons explained above, this AD 

requires the modification of the electrical 

installation in the pylon/wing interface to 

avoid wire damages. 

Shortly after this [EASA] AD was issued, 

it was discovered that Airbus Service 

Bulletin (SB) A310–24–2106, associated to 

Airbus modification 13541, contained wrong 

Low Pressure Valve installation drawings. 

This makes it impossible for the operators to 

accomplish the SB instructions. 

Consequently, Airbus have revised the SB to 

correct the error. 

Revision 1 of this [EASA] AD is issued to 

require modification 13541 to be 

incorporated in accordance with the 

instructions of Airbus SB A310–24–2106 at 

Revision 1. 

The modification includes a general 

visual inspection of wires for damage, 

and repair if necessary. You may obtain 

further information by examining the 

MCAI in the AD docket. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

considered the comment received. 

Request To Change Compliance Time 

UPS stated that it agreed with the 

actions proposed in the NPRM (76 FR 

15870, March 22, 2011); however, it 

requested that the 30-month compliance 

time be extended to 36 months. UPS 

stated that extending the compliance 

time to 36 months would reduce the 

potential for special maintenance visits 

for unmodified airplanes. UPS stated 

that the additional 6 months would 

reduce potential operator hardship and 

allow for a timely correction of the 

unsafe condition. UPS also stated that, 

in accordance with EASA Airworthiness 

Directive 2010–0178, dated August 23, 

2010; Airbus Mandatory Service 

Bulletin A300–24–6106, dated March 

31, 2010; and Airbus Mandatory Service 

Bulletin A310–24–2106, dated May 27, 

2010; the original wire damage was a 

result of installation defects during 

production, and the issues related to 

wiring segregation, conduit installation, 

and improved clamping and lacing were 

all identified by Airbus during the twoyear investigation process. UPS stated 

that these design improvements are not 

related to the correction of the 

installation defects, and they are not
