List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 357 

Endangered and threatened species, 

Plants (Agriculture). 

Accordingly, we are proposing to 

amend Title 7, subtitle B, chapter III, of 

the Code of Federal Regulations as 

follows: 

1. A new part 357 is added to read as 

follows: 

PART 357—CONTROL OF ILLEGALLY 

TAKEN PLANTS 

Sec. 

357.1 Purpose and scope. 

357.2 Definitions. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq.; 7 CFR 

2.22, 2.80, and 371.2(d). 

§ 357.1 Purpose and scope. 

The Lacey Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 

3371 et seq.), makes it unlawful to 

import, export, transport, sell, receive, 

acquire, or purchase in interstate or 

foreign commerce any plant, with some 

limited exceptions, taken in violation of 

any Federal, State, tribal, or foreign law 

that protects plants. The Lacey Act also 

makes it unlawful to make or submit 

any false record, account, or label for, or 

any false identification of, any plant 

covered by the Act. In addition, the Act 

requires that importers submit a 

declaration at the time of importation 

for certain plants and plant products. 

Common cultivars and common food 

crops are among the categorical 

exemptions to the provisions of the Act. 

The Act does not define the terms 

‘‘common cultivar’’ and ‘‘common food 

crop’’ but instead gives authority to the 

U.S. Department of Agriculture and the 

U.S. Department of the Interior to define 

these terms by regulation. The 

regulations in this part provide the 

required definitions. 

§ 357.2 Definitions. 

Common cultivar. A plant (except a 

tree) that: 

(a) Has been developed through 

selective breeding or other means for 

specific morphological or physiological 

characteristics; and 

(b) Is a species or hybrid that is 

cultivated on a commercial scale; and 

(c) Is not listed: 

(1) In an appendix to the Convention 

on International Trade in Endangered 

Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (27 

UST 1087; TIAS 8249); 

(2) As an endangered or threatened 

species under the Endangered Species 

Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.); or 

(3) Pursuant to any State law that 

provides for the conservation of species 

that are indigenous to the State and are 

threatened with extinction. 

Common food crop. A plant that: 

(a) Has been raised, grown, or 

cultivated for human or animal 

consumption; and 

(b) Is a species or hybrid that is 

cultivated on a commercial scale; and 

(c) Is not listed: 

(1) In an appendix to the Convention 

on International Trade in Endangered 

Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (27 

UST 1087; TIAS 8249); 

(2) As an endangered or threatened 

species under the Endangered Species 

Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.); or 

(3) Pursuant to any State law that 

provides for the conservation of species 

that are indigenous to the State and are 

threatened with extinction. 

Plant. Any wild member of the plant 

kingdom, including roots, seeds, parts 

or products thereof, and including trees 

from either natural or planted forest 

stands.

SUMMARY: We are revising an earlier 

NPRM for the products listed above. 

This action revises the earlier NPRM by 

expanding the scope. This proposed 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: 

* * * * * 

The airworthiness limitations applicable to 

the Certification Maintenance Requirements 

(CMR) are given in Airbus A330 ALS Part 3, 

which is approved by the European Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA). 

The revision 02 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 

3 introduces more restrictive maintenance 

requirements and/or airworthiness 

limitations. Failure to comply with this 

revision constitutes an unsafe condition. 

* * * * * 

The unsafe condition is safetysignificant latent failures that would, in 

combination with one or more other 

specific failures or events, result in a 

hazardous or catastrophic failure 

condition. The proposed AD would 

require actions that are intended to 

address the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI.

Discussion 

We proposed to amend 14 CFR part 

39 with an earlier NPRM for the 

specified products, which was 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 29, 2010 (75 FR 4710). That 

earlier NPRM proposed to supersede AD 

2007–05–08, Amendment 39–14969 (72 

FR 96580, March 5, 2007), to require 

actions intended to address the unsafe 

condition for the products listed above. 

Since that NPRM was issued, Airbus 

has released new service information. In 

addition, the European Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 

Agent for the Member States of the 

European Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2010–0048, 

dated March 19, 2010 (referred to after 

this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

The airworthiness limitations are currently 

distributed in the Airbus A330 Airworthiness 

Limitations Section (ALS). 

The airworthiness limitations applicable to 

the Certification Maintenance Requirements 

(CMR) are given in Airbus A330 ALS Part 3, 

which is approved by the European Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA). 

The revision 02 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 

3 introduces more restrictive maintenance 

requirements and/or airworthiness 

limitations. Failure to comply with this 

revision constitutes an unsafe condition. 

This new AD retains the requirements of 

EASA AD 2008–0138, which is superseded 

[EASA AD 2008–0138 superseded EASA AD 

2006–0224, which corresponds to FAA AD 

2007–05–08; FAA AD 2007–05–08 also 

contains similar actions for Model A340 

airplanes], and requires the implementation 

of the new or more restrictive maintenance 

requirements and/or airworthiness 

limitations as specified in Airbus A330 ALS 

Part 3 revision 02. 

The unsafe condition is safetysignificant latent failures that would, in 

combination with one or more other 

specific failures or events, result in a 

hazardous or catastrophic failure 

condition. You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket. 

Comments 

We have considered the following 

comments received on the earlier 

NPRM. 

Request To Update Service Information 

Air Transport Association (ATA), on 

behalf of its member Delta, requests that 

we update the NPRM to reference 

Airbus A330 ALS Part 3—Certification 

Maintenance Requirements, Revision 

02, including Appendices 1 and 2, dated 

December 16, 2009. 

We agree to reference Airbus A330 

ALS Part 3—Certification Maintenance 

Requirements, Revision 02, including 

Appendices 1 and 2, dated December 

16, 2009, as an appropriate source of 

service information. Airbus 

Airworthiness Limitations Section 

(ALS) Part 3, Revision 02, dated 

December 16, 2009, contains more 

restrictive maintenance requirements 

and airworthiness limitations. We have 

issued this supplemental NPRM to 

provide the public with opportunity to 

comment. 

Change to Proposed Applicability 

We have revised the applicability 

statement of this supplemental NPRM to 

remove the Airbus Model A340–200, 

–300, –500, and –600 series airplanes. 

We have issued AD 2010–01–07, 

Amendment 39–16165 (75 FR 1538, 

January 12, 2010), and that AD applies 

to Model A340–211, –212, –213, –311, 

–312, –313, –541, and –642 airplanes. 

That AD addresses the identified unsafe 

condition for those airplanes. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with the State of 

Design Authority, we have been notified 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Certain changes described above 

expand the scope of the earlier NPRM. 

As a result, we have determined that it 

is necessary to reopen the comment 

period to provide additional 

opportunity for the public to comment 

on this proposed AD. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have proposed 

different actions in this AD from those 

in the MCAI in order to follow FAA 

policies. Any such differences are 

highlighted in a Note within the 

proposed AD. 

Explanation of Change to Costs of 

Compliance 

Since issuance of the original NPRM, 

we have increased the labor rate used in 

the Costs of Compliance from $80 per 

work-hour to $85 per work-hour. The 

Costs of Compliance information, 

below, reflects this increase in the 

specified hourly labor rate. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this proposed AD would 

affect about 58 products of U.S. registry. 

The actions that are required by AD 

2007–05–08 and retained in this 

proposed AD take about 1 work-hour 

per product, at an average labor rate of 

$85 per work hour. Based on these 

figures, the estimated cost of the 

currently required actions is $85 per 

product. 

We estimate that it would take about 

1 work-hour per product to comply with 

the new basic requirements of this 


jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 149 / Wednesday, August 4, 2010 / Proposed Rules 46863 

proposed AD. The average labor rate is 

$85 per work-hour. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of the 

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be 

$4,930, or $85 per product. 

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 determined that this proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD would 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 this proposed regulation: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

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 proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by 

removing Amendment 39–14969 (72 FR 

9658, March 5, 2007) and adding the 

following new AD: 

Airbus: Docket No. FAA–2009–1212; 

Directorate Identifier 2008–NM–167–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive comments by August 

30, 2010. 

Affected ADs 

(b) This AD supersedes AD 2007–05–08, 

Amendment 39–14969. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to all Airbus Model 

A330–201, –202, –203, –223, –243, –301, 

–302, –303, –321, –322, –323, –341, –342, 

and –343 airplanes, certificated in any 

category; all serial numbers. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 05. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

* * * * * 

The airworthiness limitations applicable to 

the Certification Maintenance Requirements 

(CMR) are given in Airbus A330 ALS Part 3, 

which is approved by the European Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA). 

The revision 02 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 

3 introduces more restrictive maintenance 

requirements and/or airworthiness 

limitations. Failure to comply with this 

revision constitutes an unsafe condition. 

* * * * * 

The unsafe condition is safety-significant 

latent failures that would, in combination 

with one or more other specific failures or 

events, result in a hazardous or catastrophic 

failure condition. 

Note 1: This AD requires revisions to 

certain operator maintenance documents to 

include new inspections. Compliance with 

these inspections is required by 14 CFR 

91.403(c). For airplanes that have been 

previously modified, altered, or repaired in 

the areas addressed by these inspections, the 

operator may not be able to accomplish the 

inspections described in the revisions. In this 

situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), 

the operator must request approval for an 

alternative method of compliance according 

to paragraph (h) of this AD. The request 

should include a description of changes to 

the required inspections that will ensure the 

continued damage tolerance of the affected 

structure. The FAA has provided guidance 

for this determination in Advisory Circular 

(AC) 25–1529–1A. 

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2007– 

05–08, With Requirements for Model A340 

Airplanes Removed 

Revise the Airworthiness Limitations 

Section of the Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness 

(f) Unless already done: Within 90 days 

after April 9, 2007 (the effective date of AD 

2007–05–08), revise the Airworthiness 

Limitations section of the Instructions for 

Continued Airworthiness by incorporating 

Airbus A330 Certification Maintenance 

Requirements, Document 955.2074/93, Issue 

19, dated March 22, 2006. Accomplish the 

actions specified in the applicable CMR at 

the times specified in the applicable CMR 

and in accordance with the applicable CMR, 

except as provided by paragraphs (f)(1) and 

(f)(2) of this AD. 

(1) The associated interval for any new task 

is to be counted from April 9, 2007. 

(2) The associated interval for any revised 

task is to be counted from the previous 

performance of the task. 

New Requirements of This AD 

Actions and Compliance 

(g) Unless already done, within 90 days of 

the effective date of this AD: Revise the ALS 

of the Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness by incorporating Airbus A330 

ALS, Part 3—Certification Maintenance 

Requirements, Revision 02, dated December 

16, 2009. At the times specified in the Airbus 

A330 ALS, Part 3—Certification Maintenance 

Requirements, Revision 02, dated December 

16, 2009, comply with all applicable 

maintenance requirements and associated 

airworthiness limitations included in Airbus 

A330 ALS, Part 3—Certification Maintenance 

Requirements, Revision 02, dated December 

16, 2009. Doing this revision terminates the 

requirements of paragraph (f) of this AD for 

that airplane only. 

(h) After accomplishing the action required 

by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative 

inspections or inspection intervals may be 

used, unless the inspections or intervals are 

approved as an alternative method of 

compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the 

procedures specified in paragraph (i)(1) of 

this AD. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: No 

differences.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM); 

reopening of comment period. 

SUMMARY: We are revising an earlier 

NPRM for the products listed above. 

This action revises the earlier NPRM by 

expanding the scope. This proposed 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: 

Subsequent to accidents involving Fuel 

Tank System explosions in flight * * * and 

on ground, * * * Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation 88 (SFAR88) * * * required a 

safety review of the aircraft Fuel Tank 

System * * *. 

* * * * * 

Fuel Airworthiness Limitations are items 

arising from a systems safety analysis that 

have been shown to have failure mode(s) 

associated with an ‘unsafe condition’ * * *. 

These are identified in Failure Conditions for 

which an unacceptable probability of ignition 

risk could exist if specific tasks and/or 

practices are not performed in accordance 

with the manufacturers’ requirements. 

* * * * * 

The proposed AD would require actions 

that are intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI.

Discussion 

We proposed to amend 14 CFR part 

39 with an earlier NPRM for the 

specified products, which was 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 15, 2010 (75 FR 12154). That 

earlier NPRM proposed to supersede AD 

2006–12–18, Amendment 39–14644 (71 

FR 34801, June 16, 2006), to require 

actions intended to address the unsafe 

condition for the products listed above. 

Since that NPRM was issued, we have 

determined that the original NPRM did 

not include all the relevant service 

information for the affected airplanes. 

Relevant Service Information 

Bombardier has issued the temporary 

revisions (TRs) listed in the following 

table.
