f. revise paragraph (l)(2); and

g. add new paragraph (p).

The additions and revisions read as

follows:

§ 246.7 Certification of participants.

* * * * *

(d) * * *

(2) * * *

(v) Are applicants required to

document income eligibility? (A)

Adjuctively/automatically income

eligible applicants. The State or local

agency must require applicants

determined to be adjunctively or

automatically income eligible to

document their eligibility for the

program that makes them income

eligible as set forth in paragraph

(d)(2)(vi) of this section.

(B) Other applicants. The State or

local agency must require all other

applicants to provide documentation of

family income at certification.

(C) Exceptions. The income

documentation requirement does not

apply to an individual for whom the

necessary documentation is not

available or an individual such as a

homeless woman or child for whom the

agency determines the income

documentation requirement would

present an unreasonable barrier to

participation. Examples of individuals

for whom the necessary documentation

is not available include those with no

income or no proof of income (such as

an applicant or applicant’s parent who

is a migrant farmworker or other

individual who works for cash). These

are the only exceptions that may be

used. When using these exceptions, the

State or local agency must require the

applicant to sign a statement specifying

why he/she cannot provide

documentation of income. Such a

statement is not required when there is

no income.

(D) Verification. The State or local

agency may require verification of

information it determines necessary to

confirm income eligibility for Program

benefits.

* * * * *

(ix) Are instream migrant

farmworkers and their family members

required to document income eligibility?

Certain instream migrant farmworkers

and their family members with expired

Verification of Certification cards shall

be declared to satisfy the State agency’s

income standard and income

documentation requirements. Such

cases include when income of that

instream migrant farmworker is

determined at least once every 12

months. Such families shall satisfy the

income criteria in any State for any

subsequent certification while the

migrant is instream during the 12-month

period following the determination. The

determination can occur either in the

migrant’s home base area before the

migrant has entered the stream for a

particular agricultural season, or in an

instream area during the agricultural

season.

* * * * *

(i) * * *

(3) An indication of whether the

applicant was physically present at

certification and, if not, the reason why

an exception was granted or a copy of

the document(s) in the file which

explains the reason for the exception;

(4) A description of the document(s)

used to determine residency and

identity or a copy of the document(s)

used or the applicant’s written

statement when no documentation

exists;

(5) Information regarding income

eligibility for the Program as specified

in paragraph (d) of this section as

follows:

(i) A description of the document(s)

used to determine income eligibility or

a copy of the document(s) in the file;

(ii) An indication that no

documentation is available and the

reason(s) why or a copy of the

applicant’s written statement explaining

such circumstances; or

(iii) An indication that the applicant

has no income.

* * * * *

(l) * * *

(2) At certification, the State or local

agency must require each applicant to

present proof of residency (i.e., location

or address where the applicant routinely

lives or spends the night) and proof of

identity. The State or local agency must

also check the identity of participants,

or in the case of infants or children, the

identity of the parent or guardian, or

proxies when issuing food or food

instruments. The State agency may

authorize the certification of applicants

when no proof of residency or identity

exists (such as when an applicant or an

applicant’s parent is a victim of theft,

loss, or disaster, a homeless individual,

or a migrant farmworker). In these cases,

the State or local agency must require

the applicant to confirm in writing his/

her residency or identity.

* * * * *

(p) Are applicants required to be

physically present at certification? (1) In

general. The State or local agency must

require all applicants to be physically

present at each WIC certification.

(2) Exceptions. (i) Disabilities. The

State or local agency must grant an

exception to applicants who are

qualified individuals with disabilities

and are unable to be physically present

at the WIC clinic because of their

disabilities or applicants whose parents

or caretakers are individuals with

disabilities that meet this standard.

Examples of such situations include:

(A) A medical condition that

necessitates the use of medical

equipment that is not easily

transportable;

(B) A medical condition that requires

confinement to bed rest; and

(C) A serious illness that may be

exacerbated by coming in to the WIC

clinic.

(ii) Receiving ongoing health care.

The State agency may exempt from the

physical presence requirement, if being

physically present would pose an

unreasonable barrier, an infant or child

who was present at his/her initial WIC

certification and has documented

ongoing health care from a health care

provider other than the WIC local

agency.

(iii) Working parents or caretakers.

The State agency may exempt from the

physical presence requirement an infant

or child who was present at his/her

initial WIC certification and was present

at a WIC certification or recertification

determination within the 1-year period

ending on the date of the most recent

certification or recertification

determination and is under the care of

one or more working parents or one or

more primary working caretakers whose

working status presents a barrier to

bringing the infant or child in to the

WIC clinic.

3380 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 14 / Friday, January 21, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

ACTION: Final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This document publishes in

the Federal Register an amendment

adopting airworthiness directive (AD)

2000–01–51 that was sent previously by

individual notices to all known U.S.

owners and operators of Model CL–604

variant of Bombardier Model Canadair

CL–600–2B16 series airplanes modified

in accordance with Supplemental Type

Certificate SA8060NM–D, SA8072NM–

D, or SA8086NM–D. This AD requires

that the fuel service panel maintenance

light be disconnected. This action is

prompted by a report indicating that an

electrical spark was noted when the fuel

cap chain contacted the maintenance

light housing of the fuel service panel.

The actions specified by this AD are

intended to prevent electrical sparks

from a grounded object from coming

into contact with the maintenance light

housing of the fuel service panel, which

could result in a fuel fire due to the

close proximity of the fuel service panel

to the fuel port.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 26, 2000, to all

persons except those persons to whom

it was made immediately effective by

emergency AD 2000–01–51, issued

January 7, 2000, which contained the

requirements of this amendment.

Comments for inclusion in the Rules

Docket must be received on or before

March 21, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments in

triplicate to the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), Transport

Airplane Directorate, ANM–114,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

January 7, 2000, the FAA issued

emergency AD 2000–01–51, which is

applicable to the Model CL–604 variant

of Bombardier Model Canadair CL–600–

2B16 series airplanes modified in

accordance with Supplemental Type

Certificate SA8060NM–D, SA8072NM–

D, or SA8086NM–D.

That action was prompted by a report

indicating that an electrical spark was

noted when the fuel cap chain contacted

the maintenance light housing of the

fuel service panel on a CL–604 variant

of a Bombardier Model Canadair CL–

600–2B16 series airplane. Investigation

revealed that the power and ground

wires to the fuel service panel light

assembly were reversed. Electrical

sparks from a grounded object may

come into contact with the maintenance

light housing of the fuel service panel,

and could result in a fuel fire due to the

close proximity of the fuel service panel

to the fuel port.

Explanation of Requirements of the

Rule

Since the unsafe condition described

is likely to exist or develop on other

airplanes of the same type design, the

FAA issued emergency AD 2000–01–51

to prevent electrical sparks from a

grounded object from coming into

contact with the maintenance light

housing of the fuel service panel, which

could result in a fuel fire due to the

close proximity of the fuel service panel

to the fuel port. The AD requires that

the fuel service panel maintenance light

be disconnected.

Operators should note that this

airworthiness directive applies only to

the CL–604 variant of Bombardier

Model Canadair CL–600–2B16 series

airplanes.

Interim Action

This is considered to be interim

action until final action is identified, at

which time the FAA may consider

further rulemaking.

Since it was found that immediate

corrective action was required, notice

and opportunity for prior public

comment thereon were impracticable

and contrary to the public interest, and

good cause existed to make the AD

effective immediately by individual

notices issued on January 7, 2000, to all

known U.S. owners and operators of the

CL–604 variant of Bombardier Model

Canadair CL–600–2B16 series airplanes

modified in accordance with

Supplemental Type Certificate

SA8060NM–D, SA8072NM–D, or

SA8086NM–D. These conditions still

exist, and the AD is hereby published in

the Federal Register as an amendment

to section 39.13 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR 39.13) to make it

effective to all persons.

Comments Invited

Although this action is in the form of

a final rule that involves requirements

affecting flight safety and, thus, was not

preceded by notice and an opportunity

for public comment, comments are

invited on this rule. Interested persons

are invited to comment on this rule by

submitting such written data, views, or

arguments as they may desire.

Communications shall identify the

Rules Docket number and be submitted

in triplicate to the address specified

under the caption ADDRESSES. All

communications received on or before

the closing date for comments will be

considered, and this rule may be

amended in light of the comments

received. Factual information that

supports the commenter’s ideas and

suggestions is extremely helpful in

evaluating the effectiveness of the AD

action and determining whether

additional rulemaking action would be

needed.

Comments are specifically invited on

the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy aspects of

the rule that might suggest a need to

modify the rule. All comments

submitted will be available, both before

and after the closing date for comments,

in the Rules Docket for examination by

interested persons. A report that

summarizes each FAA-public contact

concerned with the substance of this AD

will be filed in the Rules Docket.

Commenters wishing the FAA to

acknowledge receipt of their comments

submitted in response to this rule must

submit a self-addressed, stamped

postcard on which the following

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to

Docket Number 2000–NM–05–AD.’’ The

postcard will be date stamped and

returned to the commenter.

Regulatory Impact

The regulations adopted herein will

not have a substantial direct effect on

the States, on the relationship between

the national Government and the States,

or on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. Therefore, it is

determined that this final rule does not

have federalism implications under

Executive Order 13132.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation is an emergency regulation

that must be issued immediately to

correct an unsafe condition in aircraft,

and that it is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ under Executive

Order 12866. It has been determined

further that this action involves an

emergency regulation under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034, February 26, 1979). If it is

determined that this emergency

regulation otherwise would be

significant under DOT Regulatory

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 14 / Friday, January 21, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 3381

Policies and Procedures, a final

regulatory evaluation will be prepared

and placed in the Rules Docket. A copy

of it, if filed, may be obtained from the

Rules Docket at the location provided

under the caption ADDRESSES.

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

The FAA anticipates that this

regulation will not result in adverse or

negative comment and therefore is

issuing it as a direct final rule. A

substantial number of previous

opportunities provided to the public to

comment on substantially identical

actions have resulted in negligible

adverse comments or objections. Unless

a written adverse or negative comment,

or a written notice of intent to submit
