Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 5, 1996 / Proposed Rules

we may defer the claim only if you agree to

continue to care for the crop. We will then

make another appraisal when you notify us

of further damage or that harvest is general

in the area unless you harvested the crop, in

which case we will use the harvested

production. If you do not continue to care for

the crop, our appraisal made prior to

deferring the claim will be used to determine

the production to count; and

(2) All harvested production from the

insurable acreage.

(d) Any citrus fruit that is not marketed as

fresh fruit and, due to insurable causes, does

not contain 120 or more gallons of juice per

ton, will be adjusted by:

(1) Dividing the gallons of juice per ton

obtained from the damaged citrus by 120;

and

(2) multiplying the result by the number of

tons of such citrus.

If individual records of juice content are

not available, an average juice content from

the nearest juice plant will be used, if

available. If not available, a field appraisal

will be made to determine the average juice

content.

(e) Where the actuarial table provides for,

and you elect, the fresh fruit option, citrus

fruit that is not marketable as fresh fruit due

to insurable causes will be adjusted by:

(1) Dividing the value per ton of the

damaged citrus by the price of undamaged

citrus fruit; and

(2) Multiplying the result by the number of

tons of such citrus fruit.

The applicable price for undamaged citrus

fruit will be the local market price the week

before damage occurred.

(f) Any production will be considered

marketed or marketable as fresh fruit unless,

due solely to insured causes, such

production was not marketed as fresh fruit.

(g) In the absence of acceptable records of

disposition of harvested citrus fruit, the

disposition and amount of production to

count for the unit will be the guarantee on

the unit.

(h) Any citrus fruit on the ground that is

not harvested will be considered totally lost

if damaged by an insured cause.

13. Written Agreements

Designated terms of this policy may be

altered by written agreement. The following

conditions will apply:

(a) You must apply in writing for each

written agreement no later than the sales

closing date, except as provided in paragraph

(e) of this section.

(b) The application for written agreement

must contain all terms of the contract

between you and us that will be in effect if

the written agreement is not approved.

(c) If approved, the written agreement will

include all variable terms of the contract,

including, but not limited to, crop type or

variety, the guarantee, premium rate, and

price election.

(d) Each written agreement will only be

valid for 1 year. If the written agreement is

not specifically renewed the following year,

insurance coverage for subsequent crop years

will be in accordance with the printed

policy.

(e) An application for written agreement

submitted after the sales closing date may be

approved if, after a physical inspection of the

acreage, it is determined that no loss has

occurred and the crop is insurable in

accordance with the policy and written

agreement provisions.

Discussion

On January 22, 1996, the FAA issued

AD 95-26-15, amendment 39-9495 (61

FR 2699, January 29, 1996), applicable

to various transport category airplanes

equipped with Allied Signal

Commercial Avionics Systems CAS-81

Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance

Systems (TCAS). That AD requires a

revision to the FAA-approved Airplane

Flight Manual (AFM) to provide the

flightcrew with procedures to cycle

power to the TCAS processor via the

circuit breaker or power bus, and to

perform a TCAS functional test to verify

proper operation of the TCAS. That

action was prompted by reports of

failure of the audio output of the CAS81 TCAS. The requirements of that AD

are intended to ensure that the

flightcrew is advised of the potential

hazard associated with failure of the

audio output of the CAS-81 TCAS, and

of the procedures necessary to address

it.

Explanation of New Service

Information

Since the issuance of that AD, Allied

Signal has issued Service Bulletin TPA81A-34-82, dated January 1996, which

describes procedures for a modification

(Unit Mod 13) of the TPA-81A TCAS

processor receiver. This modification

adds two 100k ohm resistors to circuitry

on the voice synthesizer module (VSM)

to provide a direct current (DC) return

for the Op-Amp. Additionally, the

modification adds four diodes to the

ADV. INHIBIT #1, #2, #3, and #4 lines

(advisory inhibit) at connector P3011 for

isolation. This modification will

eliminate audio noise and prevent a lack

of AUDIO alert due to the absence of a

return path to ground in an alternate

current (AC) coupled filter in the VSM.

The modification also will eliminate the

need to isolate diodes of the advisory

inhibit lines in certain configurations.

Allied Signal also issued Service

Bulletin TPA-81A-34-84, dated

January 1996, which describes

procedures for modification of the TPA81A TCAS processor receiver. The

modification involves redesignating

(rolling) the part numbers of processors

modified to Unit Mod 13. This

modification will prevent failure of the
