insurance policy insured or reinsured

by FCIC or any delinquent debt due

FCIC. Eligibility may be reinstated after

the debt is paid in full or discharged in

bankruptcy, or the person has executed

a scheduled installment payment

agreement accepted by FCIC or the

insurance provider. Eligibility may be

reinstated as of the date the debt is paid,

the date the agreement is accepted, or

the date the debt is discharged in

bankruptcy.

(b) Violations of the controlled

substance provisions of the Food

Security Act of 1985, as amended.

Eligibility may be reinstated after the

period of ineligibility stated in § 400.681

has expired.

(c) Disqualification under section

506(n) of the Act. Eligibility may be

reinstated when the period of

disqualification determined in the

administrative proceedings has expired

and payment of all penalties and

overpayments have been completed.

(d) Timing of reinstatement of

eligibility. After eligibility has been

reinstated, the person must complete a

new application for crop insurance

coverage on or before the applicable

sales closing date. If the date of

reinstatement of eligibility occurs after

the applicable sales closing date for the

crop year, the person may not

participate until the following crop year.

If the National Appeals Division

determines that the person should not

have been placed on the Ineligible

Tracking System, reinstatement will be

effective at the beginning of the crop

year for which the producer was listed

on the Ineligible Tracking System and

the person will be entitled to all

applicable benefits under the policy.

Airworthiness Directives; AeromotIndustria Mecanico Metalurgica Ltda.

Model AMT–200 Powered Sailplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This document publishes in

the Federal Register an amendment

adopting Airworthiness Directive (AD)

97–15–07, which was sent previously to

all known U.S. owners and operators of

Aeromot-Industria Mecanico

Metalurgica Ltda. (Aeromot) Model

AMT–200 powered sailplanes. This AD

requires immediately inspecting, using

non-destructive testing (NDT) methods,

the forward horizontal stabilizer front

bolt, P/N 53451, for defects (scratches,

damaged threads, or surface cracks,

etc.), and replacing the bolt immediately

if found defective or at a certain time

period if not found defective. This AD

was the result of a failure of the forward

horizontal stabilizer bolt, part number

(P/N) 53451, on one of the affected

powered sailplanes. This failure was

caused by a low cycle fatigue crack that

was induced by overtorquing the bolt.

The actions specified by this AD are

intended to prevent failure of the

forward horizontal stabilizer bolt, which

could result in separation of the

horizontal stabilizer from the powered

sailplane and consequent loss of

control.

DATES: Effective August 15, 1997, to all

persons except those to whom it was

made immediately effective by priority

letter AD 97–15–07, issued July 11,

1997, which contained the requirements

of this amendment.

The incorporation by reference of

certain publications listed in the

regulations is approved by the Director

of the Federal Register as of August 15,

1997.

Comments for inclusion in the Rules

Docket must be received on or before

September 30, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments in

triplicate to the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), Central Region,

Office of the Assistant Chief Counsel,

Attention: Rules Docket 97–CE–66–AD,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Events Leading to This AD

The Centro Tecnico Aeroespacial

(CTA), which is the airworthiness

authority for Brazil, notified the FAA

that an unsafe condition may exist on

certain Aeromot Model AMT–200

powered sailplanes. The CTA of Brazil

reported a failure of the forward

horizontal stabilizer bolt, part number

(P/N) 53451. This failure was caused by

a low cycle fatigue crack that was

induced by overtorquing the bolt.

The horizontal stabilizer bolts on the

Aeromot Models AMT–100 and AMT–

200 powered sailplanes are torqued

with a special wrench provided by the

manufacturer at delivery of the powered

sailplane. When this special wrench is

utilized, overtorquing of these bolts is

impossible. When the forward

horizontal stabilizer bolt on the eight

Aeromot Model AMT–200 powered

sailplanes affected by this priority letter

AD were torqued at the factory, this

special wrench was not used and these

forward horizontal stabilizer bolts were

overtorqued.

Relevant Service Information and CTA

Action

Aeromot has issued Service Bulletin

S.B. No. 100–53–042, Issue Date: June 6,

1997; Revision Date: REV.1, July 3,

1997. This service bulletin includes

procedures for inspecting and replacing

the forward horizontal stabilizer front

bolt on the affected Aeromot Model

AMT–100 powered sailplanes.

The CTA for Brazil classified this

service bulletin as mandatory and

issued CTA EAD No. 97–07–01, in order

to assure the continued airworthiness of

these airplanes in Brazil.

The FAA’s Determination and

Explanation of the AD

Since an unsafe condition has been

identified that is likely to exist or

develop in other Aeromot Model AMT–

200 powered sailplanes of the same type

design, the FAA issued priority letter

AD 97–15–07, dated July 11, 1997, to

prevent failure of the forward horizontal

stabilizer bolt, which could result in

separation of the horizontal stabilizer

from the powered sailplane and

consequent loss of control. The AD

requires immediately inspecting, using

non-destructive testing (NDT) methods,

the forward horizontal stabilizer front

bolt, P/N 53451, for defects (scratches,

damaged threads, or surface cracks,

etc.), and replacing the bolt immediately

if found defective or at a certain time

period if not found defective.

Accomplishment of the required

inspection and replacement is in

accordance with Aeromot Industria Ltda

Service Bulletin S.B. No. 100–53–042,

Issue Date: June 6, 1997; Revision Date:

REV.1, July 3, 1997. This AD also allows

the option of replacing the bolt

immediately instead of accomplishing

the NDT inspection.

Sections 61.107 (d)(1) and 61.127

(d)(1) of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR 61.107 (d)(1) and

14 CFR 61.127 (d)(1)) give flight

proficiency requirements for pilots,

including the assembly and disassembly

of gliders and sailplanes. Therefore, the

pilot is authorized to accomplish the

bolt replacement required by this AD.

Determination of the Effective Date of

the AD

Since it was found that immediate

corrective action was required, notice

and opportunity for prior public

comment thereon were impracticable

and contrary to the public interest, and

good cause existed to make the AD

effective immediately by individual

letters issued on July 11, 1997, to all
