[Docket No. APHIS–2008–0083] 

Gypsy Moth Generally Infested Areas; 

Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Ohio, and 

Virginia 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting as a final 

rule, with several changes, an interim 

rule that amended the regulations to add 

areas in Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Ohio, 

and Virginia to the list of generally 

infested areas based on the detection of 

infestations of gypsy moth in those 

areas. This document corrects errors in 

the listing of generally infested areas in 

Maine in the interim rule. The interim 

rule was necessary to prevent the 

artificial spread of the gypsy moth to 

noninfested areas of the United States. 

DATES: Effective Date: December 16, 

2010.

Julie S. Spaulding, Forest Pest Programs 

Manager, Emergency and Domestic 

Programs, Plant Protection and 

Quarantine, APHIS, 4700 River Road 

Unit 137, Riverdale, MD 20737; (301) 

734–5332. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) is 

a destructive pest of forest and shade 

trees. The gypsy moth regulations 

(contained in 7 CFR 301.45 through 

301.45–12 and referred to below as the 

regulations) restrict the interstate 

movement of regulated articles from 

generally infested areas to prevent the 

artificial spread of the gypsy moth. 

In accordance with § 301.45–2 of the 

regulations, generally infested areas are, 

with certain exceptions, those States or 

portions of States in which a gypsy 

moth general infestation has been found 

by an inspector, or each portion of a 

State that the Administrator deems 

necessary to regulate because of its 

proximity to infestation or its 

inseparability for quarantine 

enforcement purposes from infested 

localities. Less than an entire State will 

be designated as a generally infested 

area only if: (1) The State has adopted 

and is enforcing a quarantine or 

regulation that imposes restrictions on 

the intrastate movement of regulated 

articles that are substantially the same 

as those that are imposed with respect 

to the interstate movement of such 

articles; and (2) the designation of less 

than the entire State as a generally 

infested area will be adequate to prevent 

the artificial interstate spread of 

infestations of the gypsy moth. Section 

301.45–3 of the regulations lists 

generally infested areas. 

In an interim rule 1 effective and 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 21, 2009 (74 FR 48001– 

48002, Docket No. APHIS–2008–0083), 

we amended § 301.45–3(a) by adding 3 

counties in Illinois, 1 county in Indiana, 

32 townships in Maine, 1 county in 

Ohio, and 1 county in Virginia to the list 

of generally infested areas. We took that 

action because, in cooperation with the 

States of Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Ohio, 

and Virginia, the United States 

Department of Agriculture conducted 

surveys that detected multiple life 

stages of the gypsy moth in Cook, Du 

Page, and McHenry Counties, IL; St. 

Joseph County, IN; several townships in 

Aroostook, Franklin, Penobscot, 

Piscataquis, and Somerset Counties, ME; 

Morrow County, OH; and Montgomery 

County, VA. 

Comments on the interim rule were 

required to be received on or before 

November 20, 2009. We did not receive 

any comments. 

However, a drafting error in the 

amendatory instructions in the interim 

rule caused the areas previously 

designated as generally infested in the 

five counties in Maine to be removed 

from § 301.45–3. We are correcting this 

error in this final rule and adding the 

areas back into the listing of generally 

infested areas in Maine. In addition, 

there were several typographical errors 

in the listing of the townships. The 

complete list of generally infested areas 

in Aroostook, Franklin, Penobscot, 

Piscataquis, and Somerset Counties, ME, 

can be found in the regulatory text at the 

end of this document. 

Therefore, for the reasons given in the 

interim rule and in this document, we 

are adopting the interim rule as a final 

rule, with the changes discussed in this 

document. 

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. 

Effective Date 

Pursuant to the administrative 

procedure provisions in 5 U.S.C. 553, 

we find good cause for making this rule 

effective less than 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register. The 

interim rule adopted as final by this rule 

became effective on September 21, 2009. 

This rule corrects the descriptions of 

generally infested areas in Maine that 

were incorrectly set out in the interim 

rule. Immediate action is necessary to 

correct those errors in order to prevent 

the artificial spread of gypsy moth to 

noninfested areas of the United States. 

Therefore, the Administrator of the 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service has determined that this rule 

should be effective upon publication in 

the Federal Register.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company Model 777–200, –300, and 

–300ER Series Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Model 777–200, –300, and –300ER 

series airplanes. This AD requires 

installing Teflon sleeving under the 

clamps of certain wire bundles routed 

along the fuel tank boundary structure, 

and cap sealing certain penetrating 

fasteners of the main and center fuel 

tanks. This AD results from fuel system 

reviews conducted by the manufacturer. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent 

electrical arcing on the fuel tank 

boundary structure or inside the fuel 

tanks, which could result in a fire or 

explosion. 

DATES: This AD is effective January 20, 

2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in the AD 

as of January 20, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 

14 CFR part 39 to include an 

airworthiness directive (AD) that would 

apply to certain Model 777–200, –300, 

and –300ER series airplanes. That 

supplemental NPRM was published in 

the Federal Register on June 18, 2010 

(75 FR 34663). The original NPRM (72 

FR 3956, January 29, 2007) proposed to 

require installing Teflon sleeving under
