(2) For the purposes of these mandatory

inspections, piece-part opportunity means:

(i) The part is considered completely

disassembled when done in accordance with

the disassembly instructions in the

manufacturer’s engine manual; and

(ii) The part has accumulated more than

100 cycles in service since the last piece-part

opportunity inspection, provided that the

part was not damaged or related to the cause

for its removal from the engine.’’

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of

this AD, and notwithstanding contrary

provisions in section 43.16 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.16), these

mandatory inspections shall be performed

only in accordance with the ALS of the

manufacturer’s ICA.

(c) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an acceptable level of safety may be

used if approved by the Engine Certification

Office (ECO). Operators shall submit their

requests through an appropriate FAA

Principal Maintenance Inspector (PMI), who

may add comments and then send it to the

ECO.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this airworthiness directive,

if any, may be obtained from the ECO.

(d) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to

a location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

(e) FAA-certificated air carriers that have

an approved continuous airworthiness

maintenance program in accordance with the

record keeping requirement of § 121.369(c) of

the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

121.369(c)) must maintain records of the

mandatory inspections that result from

revising the Time Limits Section of the

Instructions for Continuous Airworthiness

(ICA) and the air carrier’s continuous

airworthiness program. Alternately,

certificated air carriers may establish an

approved system of record retention that

provides a method for preservation and

retrieval of the maintenance records that

include the inspections resulting from this

AD, and include the policy and procedures

for implementing this alternate method in the

air carrier’s maintenance manual required by

§ 121.369(c) of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR 121.369(c)); however,

the alternate system must be accepted by the

appropriate PMI and require the maintenance

records be maintained either indefinitely or

until the work is repeated. Records of the

piece-part inspections are not required under

§ 121.380(a)(2)(vi) of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR 121.380(a)(2)(vi)). All

other Operators must maintain the records of

mandatory inspections required by the

applicable regulations governing their

operations.

Note 3: The requirements of this AD have

been met when the engine manual changes

are made and air carriers have modified their

continuous airworthiness maintenance plans

to reflect the requirements in the Engine

Manuals.

(f) This amendment becomes effective on

February 23, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

As part of the Commission’s ongoing

review of all current Commission rules

and guides, the Commission published

a Federal Register notice on March 18,

1999, 64 FR 13369, seeking comments

about the Law Book Guides’ overall

costs and benefits, and the continuing

need for the Guides. The Law Book

Guides contain 17 sections that provide

guidance regarding the sale of legal

reference materials to the legal

profession, law schools, and other

consumers. The 17 sections cover

practices ranging from the marketing of

legal reference materials to consumers,

to the supplementation of these

materials, and billing practices

employed by sellers, and specify

detailed disclosures that should be

made in direct mail promotional

materials and oral representations

soliciting the sale of legal reference

materials.

The Commission issued the Guides in

1975, 40 FR 33436, to assist the legal

publication industry with compliance

with section 5 of the Federal Trade

Commission Act (‘‘FTC Act’’), 15 U.S.C.

45. The Commission issued the Guides

following consideration of public

comments submitted in response to a

request from purchasers and their

representatives, such as the American

Association of Law Libraries. Earlier,

Raymond M. Taylor, then Librarian for

the North Carolina Supreme Court, had

published an article detailing alleged

abuses in the legal publishing industry.1

These abuses include practices such as

putting new titles and new binders on

old material, misrepresenting that

certain publications are ‘‘new’’ or

‘‘revised or enlarged,’’ misrepresenting

the jurisdictional application of

publications, adding remotely related

books to established sets to assure their

automatic sale, failing to disclose prices,

failing to issue supplements for

publications that otherwise soon would

become obsolete. The article suggested,

among other things, that the

Commission should prescribe

appropriate practices that industry

should follow in the publication,

advertising, and sale of legal

publications.

II. Comments Received

The Commission received five

comments in response to the Federal

Register notice.2 All of the comments

state that the Guides serve a useful

purpose and that there is a continuing

need for them. Four comments assert

that there continue to be abuses or other

problems in the legal publications

industry,3 such as failing to disclose in

advertisements the manner in which

electronic versions of legal reference

materials vary from their print

counterparts,4 failing to disclose prices

in advertisements,5 or sending and

billing customers for materials only

remotely related to what they have

purchased.6 DeVaun states that mergers

in the legal publishing industry have

caused the accuracy of information

provided by legal publishers’ customer

service personnel to suffer. Several

comments suggest that the Commission

adopt revisions to the Guides to

recognize certain current market

practices, including the distribution and

licensing of electronic legal resources

(e.g., those provided on CD–ROM or by

other electronic means).

III. Commission’s Determinations

After extensive review of the Guides

and their effect on the legal reference

industry and purchasers of legal

reference materials, the Commission has

decided that the Guides no longer are

necessary to promote compliance with

section 5 of the FTC Act. For the reasons

set forth below, the Commission has

determined to rescind the Guides.

First, the Guides are overly regulatory

in that they include significantly more

detail regarding suggested disclosures

and other practices than the

Commission would promulgate today.

Further, repealing the Guides would not

impair the Commission’s ability to

prosecute abuses in the legal reference

materials industry, if necessary. Under

the FTC Act the Commission may seek

administrative or federal district court

orders against companies or individuals

who engage in unfair or deceptive

practices,7prohibiting future violations,

and providing other relief such as

consumer redress, disgorgement of illgotten gains, consumer notification, and

civil penalties, in some cases. The

Commission, for example, could

prosecute sellers who failed to clearly

and conspicuously disclose material

information or sent or billed customers

for unordered materials. Such practices

would violate section 5 of the FTC Act,

or section 3009(a) of the Postal

Reorganization Act of 1970, 39 U.S.C.

3009, which declares that mailing, or
