read as set forth below. 

§ 305.6 Cold treatment requirements. 

* * * * * 

(h) * * * 

(5) Airport of Mascoutah, IL. 

Consignments of fruits or vegetables 

arriving at the MidAmerica St. Louis 

Airport, Mascoutah, IL, for cold 

treatment, in addition to meeting all 

other applicable requirements of this 

section, must meet the following special 

conditions: 

(i) Bulk and containerized 

consignments of fruits or vegetables 

arriving for cold treatment must be cold 

treated within the area over which the 

U.S. Department of Homeland Security 

is assigned the authority to accept 

entries of merchandise, to collect duties, 

and to enforce the various provisions of 

the customs and navigation laws in 

force. 

(ii) APHIS will evaluate facility 

safeguards in light of the plant health 

risks involved and approve the 

operation of a facility in that location 

subject to the following conditions to be 

agreed upon by the involved parties and 

included in the compliance agreement 

required in § 305.6(f): 

(A) The facility will only be certified 

if the Administrator determines that the 

regulated articles could be safely 

transported to the facility from the point 

of entry or origin without significant 

risk that plant pests will escape in 

transit to the facility or while the 

regulated articles are at the facility. 

(B) Bulk consignments (those 

consignments which are stowed and 

unloaded by the case or bin) of fruit 

must arrive in pest-proof packaging that 

prevents the escape of the pests of 

concern. 

(C) The facility must ensure that the 

pest-proof cartons are off-loaded from 

containers in a safeguarded 

environment and at no time are the 

articles to be removed from the cartons 

prior to treatment. 

(D) Arrangements for treatment must 

be made before the departure of a 

consignment from its port of entry or 

points of origin in the United States. 

The cold treatment facility and APHIS 

must agree in advance on the route by 

which consignments are allowed to 

move between the aircraft on which 

they arrived at the airport and the cold 

treatment facility. The movement of 

consignments from aircraft to a cold 

treatment facility will not be allowed 

until an acceptable route has been 

agreed upon. 

(E) The facility must have 

contingency plans, approved by the 

Administrator, for safely destroying or 

disposing of fruits or vegetables. 

(F) The facility must maintain 

physical separation of treated articles 

from untreated articles and apply all 

required safeguards (e.g., larger 

consignments are broken up into 

smaller boxes following treatment and 

those treated articles are required to be 

packaged in pest-proof containers per an 

agreement between the treatment 

facility and the importer) before 

releasing to local markets or for 

movement to other States.

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 39 

[Docket No. FAA–2013–0401; Directorate 

Identifier 2012–SW–047–AD] 

RIN 2120–AA64 

Airworthiness Directives; MD 

Helicopters Inc. Helicopters 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) for 

MD Helicopters Inc. (MDHI) Model 

369A, 369D, 369E, 369H, 369HE, 

369HM, 369HS, 369F and 369FF 

helicopters with certain MDHI or 

Helicopter Technology Company (HTC) 

tail rotor blades installed. The existing 

AD currently requires reducing the 

retirement life of each tail rotor blade 

(blade), performing a one-time visual 

inspection of each blade’s pitch horn 

(pitch horn) for a crack or corrosion, and 

replacing any cracked blade or any 

blade that has exceeded its retirement 

life with an airworthy blade. The AD 

also requires reporting information to 

the FAA within 24 hours following the 

one-time inspection. Since we issued 

that AD, an accident in England 

prompted an investigation that showed 

corrosion on the blade’s pitch horn that 

had not been detected under the paint. 

This proposed AD would retain some of 

the requirements in the existing AD but 

would require paint removal for all 

pitch horn inspections, inspecting for 

pitting and the shot peen surface’s 

condition in addition to cracks and 

corrosion, and would add certain partnumbered blades to the applicability. 

The proposed actions are intended to 

prevent a pitch horn from cracking, 

leading to vibration, loss of tail rotor 

pitch control, and subsequent loss of tail 

rotor and helicopter control. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by July 12, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Docket: Go to
