25534 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 87 / Thursday, May 5, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

the Secretary shall announce a uniform 

classification fee and any applicable 

surcharge for classification services not 

later than June 1 of the year in which 

the fee applies; and (4) in establishing 

the amount of fees under this section, 

the Secretary shall consult with 

representatives of the United States 

cotton industry. At pages 313–314, the 

Joint Explanatory Statement of the 

committee of conference for section 

14201 stated the expectation that the 

cotton classification fee would be 

established in the same manner as was 

applied during the 1992 through 2007 

fiscal years. The classification fee 

should continue to be a basic, uniform 

fee per bale fee as determined necessary 

to maintain cost-effective cotton 

classification service. Further, in 

consulting with the cotton industry, the 

Secretary should demonstrate the level 

of fees necessary to maintain effective 

cotton classification services and 

provide the Department of Agriculture 

with an adequate operating reserve, 

while also working to limit adjustments 

in the year-to-year fee. 

Under the provisions of section 

14201, this final rule establishes a user 

fee (dollars per bale classed) for the 

2011 cotton crop that, when combined 

with other sources of revenue, will 

result in projected revenues sufficient to 

reasonably cover budgeted costs— 

adjusted for inflation—and allow for 

adequate operating reserves to be 

maintained. Costs considered in this 

method include salaries, costs of 

equipment and supplies, and other 

overhead costs, such as facility costs 

and costs for administration and 

supervision. In addition to covering 

expected costs, the user fee is set such 

that projected revenues will generate an 

operating reserve adequate to effectively 

manage uncertainties related to crop 

size and cash-flow timing while meeting 

minimum reserve requirements set by 

the Agricultural Marketing Service, 

which require maintenance of a reserve 

fund amount equal to four months of 

projected operating costs. 

Extensive consultations regarding the 

establishment of the classification fee 

with U.S. cotton industry 

representatives were held during the 

period from September 2010 through 

March 2011 during numerous publicly 

held meetings. Representatives of all 

segments of the cotton industry, 

including producers, ginners, bale 

storage facility operators, merchants, 

cooperatives, and textile manufacturers 

were addressed in various industrysponsored forums. 

The user fee established to be charged 

cotton producers for cotton 

classification in 2011 is $2.20 per bale, 

which is the same fee charged for the 

2010 crop. This fee is based on the preseason projection that 16.5 million bales 

will be classed by the United States 

Department of Agriculture during the 

2011 crop year. 

Accordingly, § 28.909, paragraph (b) 

will reflect the continuation of the 

cotton classification fee at $2.20 per 

bale. 

As provided for in the 1987 Act, a 

5 cent per bale discount will continue 

to be applied to voluntary centralized 

billing and collecting agents as specified 

in § 28.909(c). 

Growers or their designated agents 

receiving classification data will 

continue to incur no additional fees if 

classification data is requested only 

once. The fee for each additional 

retrieval of classification data in 

§ 28.910 will remain at 5 cents per bale. 

The fee in § 28.910(b) for an owner 

receiving classification data from the 

National database will remain at 5 cents 

per bale, and the minimum charge of 

$5.00 for services provided per monthly 

billing period will remain the same. The 

provisions of § 28.910(c) concerning the 

fee for new classification memoranda 

issued from the National Database for 

the business convenience of an owner 

without reclassification of the cotton 

will remain the same at 15 cents per 

bale or a minimum of $5.00 per sheet. 

The fee for review classification in 

§ 28.911 will remain at $2.20 per bale. 

The fee for returning samples after 

classification in § 28.911 will remain at 

50 cents per sample. 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 533, good cause 

exists for not postponing the effective 

date of this final rule until 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register 

because this rule maintains uniform 

user fees for 2011 crop cotton 

classification services as mandated by 

the Cotton Statistics and Estimates Act, 

at the same level as 2010.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD results 

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

A design review has revealed a potential 

dormant failure of the Ram Air Turbine 

(RAT) heating system. If this failure occurs, 

it could lead to the freezing of the RAT 

mechanism [the potential consequence of 

this heater being inoperative relates primarily 

to generator rotor/turbine assembly 

rotation—either the ability to rotate or to 

rotate at rated RPM for a given airspeed], and 

the consequent * * * [non-functioning] of 

the RAT when needed. 

* * * * * 

Non-functioning of the RAT could result 

in insufficient electrical power to 

operate the fly-by-wire system, and 

subsequent loss of control of the 

airplane. We are issuing this AD to 

require actions to correct the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective June 

9, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on January 5, 2011 (76 FR 480). 

That NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

A design review has revealed a potential 

dormant failure of the Ram Air Turbine 

(RAT) heating system. If this failure occurs, 

it could lead to the freezing of the RAT 

mechanism [the potential consequence of 

this heater being inoperative relates primarily 

to generator rotor/turbine assembly 

rotation—either the ability to rotate or to 

rotate at rated RPM for a given airspeed], and 

the consequent * * * [non-functioning] of 

the RAT when needed. 

The purpose of this AD is to require a 

repetitive functional test of the RAT heater 

* * *. 

Non-functioning of the RAT could 

result in insufficient electrical power to 

operate the fly-by-wire system, and 

subsequent loss of control of the 

airplane. The corrective action is 

repairing. You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

considered the comment received.
