29246 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 101 / Friday, May 25, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

FAA–2007–27509; Directorate Identifier 

2006–NM–201–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This AD becomes effective June 29, 

2007. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to all Fokker Model 

F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes, 

certificated in any category. 

Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD results from a report that, after 

landing, the flightcrew of a Model F.28 Mark 

0100 airplane noted that an extreme 

difference in pedal angle was required to 

achieve equal braking action. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent failure of one or more 

brake control levers, which could result in 

uncommanded braking and loss of control of 

the airplane during takeoff, landing, or 

taxiing. 

Compliance 

(e) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Inspection and Replacement 

(f) Within 1,500 flight cycles or 12 months 

after the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs first: Perform a detailed inspection for 

excessive wear of the brake control levers 

and do the applicable corrective actions in 

accordance with and at the times specified in 

Section 3, ‘‘Accomplishment Instructions,’’

of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100–32–142, 

dated August 12, 2005. Repeat the 

requirements of this paragraph thereafter for 

any replacement control lever at intervals not 

to exceed 12,000 flight hours after the 

installation of such a control lever. Operators 

should note that, where the service bulletin 

specifies immediate replacement of the 

control lever if the applicable remaining 

material (dimension X2) of the attachment 

hole is less than 2.0 millimeters (0.08 inch), 

this AD requires replacing the control lever 

if dimension X2 is less than or equal to 2.0 

millimeters. 

Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a 

detailed inspection is: ‘‘An intensive 

examination of a specific item, installation, 

or assembly to detect damage, failure, or 

irregularity. Available lighting is normally 

supplemented with a direct source of good 

lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. 

Inspection aids such as mirror, magnifying 

lenses, etc., may be necessary. Surface 

cleaning and elaborate procedures may be 

required.’’

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(g)(1) The Manager, International Branch, 

ANM–116, FAA, has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested in 

accordance with the procedures found in 14 

CFR 39.19. 

(2) To request a different method of 

compliance or a different compliance time 

for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 

39.19. Before using any approved AMOC on 

any airplane to which the AMOC applies, 

notify your appropriate principal inspector 

(PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District 

Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local 

FSDO.

COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING 

COMMISSION 

17 CFR Part 2 

RIN 3038–AC42 

Rules Relating to Permissible Uses of 

Official Seal 

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission (‘‘Commission’’ or 

‘‘CFTC’’) hereby revises 17 CFR part 2, 

by adding a new section, 17 CFR 2.4, to 

allow its employee recreation 

association, the Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission Employee 

Recreation Association (‘‘Association’’) 

to use the Commission seal for 

permissible, ‘‘non-official purposes,’’

e.g., fundraising, social, sports, and 

similar activities such as selling sports 

apparel and novelty items imprinted 

with the Commission’s seal. 

The Commission finds that since the 

amendment to part 2 has no impact 

upon a member of the public, this 

amendment will become effective 

immediately upon publication in the 

Federal Register. In addition, the 

Commission has determined that this 

amendment to part 2 relates solely to 

the Association’s objectives which 

promote the welfare of Commission 

employees and does not in any way 

impinge on the Commission’s core 

mission. Therefore, the provisions of the 

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 

553, which generally require notice of 

proposed rule making and provide other 

opportunities for public participation, 

are inapplicable. Similarly, the 

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act, Public Law 96–354, 94 Stat. 1164, 

do not apply. See 5 U.S.C. 601(2). In 

addition, the amendment to 17 CFR part 

2 does not impose a burden within the 

meaning and intent of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1980, 44 U.S.C. 3501, 

et seq. Provisions related to cost-benefit 

analysis, in section 15(a) of the 

Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 19, 

are also inapplicable. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 25, 2007.

Counsel, Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission, Three Lafayette Centre,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Currently, 

Commission regulations in 17 CFR part 

2 preclude the use of the seal except for 

official purposes such as affixing the 

seal to official documents. The seal also 

may be used in agency-sponsored 

programs paid for with appropriated 

funds. For example, novelty items 

bearing the Commission seal may be 

distributed in employee incentive 

programs, award programs, and similar 

activities. The current rules, however, 

prohibit and preclude the use of the seal 

for non-official purposes. 

The proposed rule will allow the 

Commission seal to be used for 

legitimate, non-official purposes, i.e., on 

T-shirts and other sport apparels (i.e., 

hats, sweatshirts and pants, running 

shorts, wristbands, among others) and 

sport equipments (tennis rackets, golf 

clubs, etc.); and novelty items (bags, 

pens, pencils, lanyards, badge holders, 

mugs, cup holders, etc.) that can be sold 

by the Commission’s employee 

recreation association to meet its 

fundraising goals, or distributed in 

conjunction with its sport and/or social 

events such as a golf tournament and/ 

or other seasonal sport events.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Dominican Republic—Central 

America—United States Free Trade 

Agreement (‘‘CAFTA–DR’’ or 

‘‘Agreement’’) was entered into by the 

governments of Costa Rica, the 

Dominican Republic, El Salvador, 

Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and 

the United States on August 5, 2004. 

The CAFTA–DR was approved by the 

U.S. Congress with the enactment on 

August 2, 2005, of the Dominican 

Republic-Central America-United States 

Free Trade Agreement Implementation 

Act (the ‘‘Act’’), Public Law 109–53, 119 

Stat. 462 (19 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.). 

Section 205 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

4034), as recently amended by section 

1634(d) of the Pension Protection Act of 

2006 (Pub. L. 109–280), implements 

Article 3.20 of the CAFTA–DR by 

providing for the retroactive application 

of the preferential tariff provisions of 

the Agreement with respect to certain 

entries of qualifying textile or apparel 

goods of eligible CAFTA–DR countries. 

Specifically, section 205(a) provides 

that, notwithstanding 19 U.S.C. 1514 or 

any other provision of law, an entry of 

a textile or apparel good will be 

liquidated or reliquidated at the 

applicable rate of duty for that good set 

out in Annex 3.3 of the Agreement, and 

the Secretary of the Treasury will refund 

any excess customs duties paid with 

respect to that entry, if it meets four 

conditions: (1) The textile or apparel 

good must be of a CAFTA–DR country 

that the United States Trade 

Representative has designated as an 

eligible country for purposes of section 

205; (2) The good would have qualified 

as an originating good under section 203 

of the Act if the good had been entered 

after the date of entry into force of the 

Agreement for that country; (3) The 

entry was made on or after January 1, 

2004, and before the date of the entry 

into force of the Agreement with respect 

to that country or any other CAFTA–DR 

country; and (4) Customs duties were 

paid in excess of the applicable rate of 

duty for that good set out in Annex 3.3 

of the Agreement. 

Section 205(b) of the Act provides 

that the United States Trade 

Representative will determine which 

CAFTA–DR countries are eligible 

countries for purposes of this section 

and will publish a list of those countries 

in the Federal Register. 

Section 205(c) of the Act provides that 

liquidation or reliquidation may be 

made under section 205(a) with respect 

to an entry of a textile or apparel good 

only if a request for such liquidation or 

reliquidation is filed with CBP, within 

such period as CBP shall establish by 

regulation in consultation with the 

Secretary of the Treasury, that contains 

sufficient information to enable CBP: (1) 

To locate the entry or to reconstruct the 

entry if it cannot be located; and (2) to 

determine that the good satisfies the 

conditions set out in section 205(a). 

Section 205(d) states that, as used in 

section 205, the term ‘‘entry’’ includes 

a withdrawal from warehouse for 

consumption. 

On March 7, 2006, U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) published in 

the Federal Register (71 FR 11304) as 

CBP Dec. 06–06 an interim rule that 

amended the CBP regulations by adding 

a new subpart J to Part 10 and new 

section 10.699 to set forth the 

conditions and requirements that apply 

for purposes of requesting refunds 

pursuant to section 205 of the Act. 

Pursuant to section 205(c) of the Act, 

the interim amendments included a 

provision establishing the time period 

within which requests for refunds of 

any excess customs duties paid with 

respect to entries of textile or apparel 

goods of an eligible CAFTA–DR country 

must be submitted to CBP. The interim 

rule provided that requests for refunds 

must be filed with CBP by the later of 

December 31, 2006, or the date that is 

90 days after the entry into force of the 

Agreement with respect to that country. 

The interim rule also noted that 

section 10.699 provides that any refund 

of excess customs duties made pursuant 

to that section will be accompanied by 

interest from the date of the affected 

entry.

amendments were promulgated without
