Referendum Results 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service,

ACTION: Announcement of referendum 

results. 

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing 

Service (AMS) is announcing that 

sorghum producers voting in a national 

referendum from February 1, 2011, 

through February 28, 2011, have 

approved the continuation of the 

Sorghum Promotion, Research, and 

Information Order (Order).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Pursuant to the Commodity 

Promotion, Research, and Information 

Act of 1996 (Act) (7 U.S.C. 7411–7425), 

the Department of Agriculture 

conducted a referendum from February 

1, 2011, through February 28, 2011, 

among eligible sorghum producers, and 

importers to determine if the Order 

would continue to be effective. A final 

rule was published in the November 18, 

2010, Federal Register (75 FR 70573) 

outlining the procedures for conducting 

the referendum. 

Of the 1,204 valid ballots cast, 917 or 

76.2 percent favored the program and 

287 or 23.7 percent opposed continuing 

the program. For the program to 

continue, it must have been approved 

by at least a majority of those eligible 

persons voting for approval who were 

engaged in the production and sale of 

sorghum during the period July 1, 2008, 

through Dec. 31, 2010. 

Therefore, based on the referendum 

results, the Secretary of Agriculture has 

determined that the required majority of 

eligible voters who voted in the 

nationwide referendum from February 

1, 2011, through February 28, 2011, 

voted to continue the Order. As a result, 

the Sorghum Checkoff Program will 

continue to be funded by a mandatory 

assessment on producers, and importers 

at the rate of 0.6 percent of net market 

value of grain sorghum and 0.35 percent 

of net market value for sorghum forage, 

sorghum hay, sorghum haylage, 

sorghum billets, and sorghum silage. 

Imports of such products would also be 

assessed, although, very limited imports 

exist at this time.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD requires 

repetitive inspections for any damage of 

the lower surface of the center wing box, 

and corrective actions if necessary. This 

AD was prompted by reports of fatigue 

cracks of the lower surface of the center 

wing box. We are issuing this AD to 

detect and correct such cracks, which 

could result in the structural failure of 

the wings. 

DATES: This AD is effective June 22, 

2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of June 22, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an airworthiness 

directive (AD) that would apply to the 

specified products. That NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 5, 2010 (75 FR 262). That NPRM 

proposed to require repetitive 

inspections for any damage of the lower 

surface of the center wing box, and 

corrective actions if necessary. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the proposal and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Support for the NPRM 

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics 

Company (LM Aero) recognized and 

agreed with the need to adopt an AD. 

Lynden Air Cargo (LAC) agreed in 

concept that the inspections in the 

NPRM are beneficial and enhance 

safety. 

Requests To Clarify Paragraph (l) of the 

NPRM 

LAC and Safair Operations (Pty) Ltd 

(Safair) asked that we clarify paragraph 

(l) of the NPRM, which states that 

‘‘Inspections accomplished before the 

effective date of this AD in accordance 

with Lockheed Service Bulletin 382–57– 

83 (82–783), Revision 1, dated August 

22, 2006, including Appendix B, dated 

March 18, 2005, are considered
