Prior to arriving at this budget, the 

Board considered alternative 

expenditure levels, but ultimately 

decided that the recommended levels 

were reasonable to properly administer 

the order. Unexpended funds may be 

used temporarily to defray expenses of 

the subsequent marketing year, but must 

be made available to the handlers from 

whom collected within 5 months after 

the end of the year, according to 

§ 984.69. 

According to NASS, the season 

average grower prices for years 2004 and 

2005 were $1,390 and $1,520 per ton, 

respectively. Dividing these average 

grower prices by 2,000 pounds per ton 

provides an inshell price per pound 

range of between $.70 and $.76. 

Adjusting by a few cents above and 

below those prices ($0.67 to $0.79 per 

inshell pound) provides a reasonable 

price range within which the 2006–07 

season average price is likely to fall. 

Dividing these inshell prices per pound 

by the 0.45 conversion factor designated 

in the order yields a 2006–07 price 

range estimate of $1.49 and $1.76 per 

kernelweight pound of assessable 

walnuts. 

To calculate the percentage of grower 

revenue represented by the assessment 

rate, the assessment rate of $0.0101 (per 

kernelweight pound) is divided by the 

low and high estimates of the price 

range and then multiplied by 100. The 

estimated assessment revenue for the 

2006–07 marketing year as a percentage 

of total grower revenue would likely 

range between .7 and .6 percent. 

This action continues in effect the 

action that increased the assessment 

obligation imposed on handlers. While 

assessments impose some additional 

costs on handlers, the costs are minimal 

and uniform on all handlers. Some of 

the additional costs may be passed on 

to producers. However, these costs are 

offset by the benefits derived by the 

operation of the marketing order. In 

addition, the Board’s meeting was 

widely publicized throughout the 

California walnut industry and all 

interested persons were invited to 

attend the meeting and participate in 

Board deliberations on all issues. Like 

all Board meetings, the September 8, 

2006, meeting was a public meeting and 

all entities, both large and small, were 

able to express views on this issue. 

This action imposes no additional 

reporting or recordkeeping requirements 

on either small or large California 

walnut handlers. As with all Federal 

marketing order programs, reports and 

forms are periodically reviewed to 

reduce information requirements and 

duplication by industry and public 

sector agencies. 

The AMS is committed to complying 

with the E-Government Act, to promote 

the use of the Internet and other 

information technologies to provide 

increased opportunities for citizen 

access to Government information and 

services, and for other purposes. 

USDA has not identified any relevant 

Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or 

conflict with this rule. 

An interim final rule concerning this 

action was published in the Federal 

Register on November 16, 2006 (71 FR 

66645). Copies of the rule were also 

mailed by the Board’s staff to all Board 

members and walnut handlers. In 

addition, the interim final rule was 

made available through the Internet by 

USDA and the Office of the Federal 

Register. The rule provided for a 60-day 

comment period, which ended on 

January 16, 2007, and no comments 

were received.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 

airplanes. This AD requires inspecting 

the carbon-fiber reinforced plastic main 

landing gear (MLG) door to determine 

whether certain part numbers are 

installed. For airplanes having certain 

doors, this AD requires inspecting the 

MLG outboard door for cracks, play, and 

loose sealant/bolts/nuts, and related 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
9844 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 43 / Tuesday, March 6, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

investigative and corrective actions if 

necessary. This AD also requires, for 

airplanes having certain doors, 

modifying the rod bracket attachment of 

the MLG outboard door. This AD results 

from a report of a rod bracket of the 

MLG door detaching during flight. We 

are issuing this AD to detect and correct 

cracks in the rod bracket attachment 

bolts, which could result in the rod 

brackets detaching from the MLG door 

and blocking the proper functioning of 

the MLG. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 

10, 2007. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of April 10, 2007.

Discussion 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to all Fokker Model F.28 Mark 

0070 and 0100 airplanes. That NPRM 

was published in the Federal Register 

on December 28, 2006 (71 FR 78099). 

That NPRM proposed to require 

inspecting the carbon-fiber reinforced 

plastic main landing gear (MLG) door to 

determine whether certain part numbers 

are installed. For airplanes having 

certain doors, that NPRM proposed to 

require inspecting the MLG outboard 

door for cracks, play, and loose sealant/ 

bolts/nuts, and related investigative and 

corrective actions if necessary. That 

NPRM also proposed to require, for 

airplanes having certain doors, 

modifying the rod bracket attachment of 

the MLG outboard door. 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. We received no 

comments on the NPRM or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We have carefully reviewed the 

available data and determined that air 

safety and the public interest require 

adopting the AD as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

The following table provides the 

estimated costs for U.S. operators to 

comply with this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

Section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in Subtitle VII, 

Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, 

‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

We have determined that this AD will 

not have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. This AD 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. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and 

(3) Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

See the ADDRESSES section for a location 

to examine the regulatory evaluation.

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This amendment removes an 

obsolete reference in Special Federal 

Aviation Regulation 50–2, Special Flight 

Rules in the Vicinity of Grand Canyon 

National Park, AZ. In section 9 of that 

SFAR, there is a ‘‘Note’’ that refers to an 

informational map of the Special Flight

longer available; however, there is an 

illustrational map of the SFRA in Part 

93, Subpart U. Therefore, this technical 

amendment deletes the reference in 

SFAR 50–2, which is no longer needed 

and is confusing to the public.
