**Sorghum Promotion, Research, and Information Program; State**  **Referendum Results**

**AGENCY :**  Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

**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).

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Kenneth R. Payne, Chief; Marketing Programs Branch, Livestock and Seed Program; Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), USDA, Room 2628–S; STOP 0251; 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20250–0251, telephone number 202/720–1115, fax number 202/ 720–1125, or by e-mail at: Kenneth.Payne@ams.usda.gov.

**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.

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
