7 CFR Part 1205, Sections 1205.10 

Through 1205.30 

For the reasons set forth in the 

preamble, 7 CFR part 1205 is proposed 

to be amended as follows: 

PART 1205—COTTON RESEARCH 

AND PROMOTION 

■ 1. The authority citation part 1205 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 2101–2118 and 7 

U.S.C. 7401. 

■ 2. Section 1205.20 is revised to read 

as follows: 

§ 1205.20 Representative period. 

The term representative period means 

the 2014 calendar year. 

■ 3. In § 1205.26, paragraphs (a)(1) and 

(2) are revised to read as follows: 

§ 1205.26 Eligibility. 

* * * * * 

(a) * * * 

(1) Any person who was engaged in 

the production of Upland cotton during 

calendar year 2014; and 

(2) Any person who was an importer 

of Upland cotton and imported Upland 

cotton in excess of the value of $2.00 

per line item entry during calendar year 

2014. 

* * * * * 

■ 4. Section 1205.27 is revised to read 

as follows: 

§ 1205.27 Participation in the sign-up 

period. 

The sign-up period will be from May 

11, 2015, until May 22, 2015. Those 

persons who favor the conduct of a 

continuance referendum and who wish 

to request that USDA conduct such a 

referendum may do so by submitting 

such request in accordance with this 

section. All requests must be received 

by the appropriate USDA office by May 

22, 2015. 

(a) Before the sign-up period begins, 

FSA shall establish a list of known, 

eligible, Upland cotton producers in the 

county that it serves during the 

representative period, and AMS shall 

also establish a list of known, eligible 

Upland cotton importers. 

(b) Before the start of the sign-up 

period, AMS will post sign-up 

information, including sign-up forms, 

on its Web site: http://

www.ams.usda.gov/Cotton. Importers 

who favor the conduct of a continuance 

referendum can download a form from 

the Web site, or request a sign-up form 

by contacting CottonRP@ams.usda.gov 

or (540) 361–2726 and one will be 

provided to them. Importers may 

participate in the sign-up period by 

submitting a signed, written request for 

a continuance referendum, along with a 

copy of a U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection form 7501 showing payment 

of a cotton assessment for calendar year 

2014. The USDA, AMS, Cotton and 

Tobacco Program, Attention: Cotton 

Sign-Up, P.O. Box 23181, Washington, 

DC 20077–8249 shall be considered the 

polling place for all cotton importers. 

All requests and supporting documents 

must be received by May 22, 2015. 

(c) Each person on the county FSA 

office lists may participate in the signup period. Eligible producers must date 

and sign their name on the ‘‘County 

FSA Office Sign-up Sheet.’’ A person 

whose name does not appear on the 

county FSA office list may participate in 

the sign-up period. Such person must be 

identified on FSA–578 during the 

representative period or provide 

documentation that demonstrates that 

the person was a cotton producer during 

the representative period. Cotton 

producers not listed on the FSA–578 

shall submit at least one sales receipt for 

cotton they planted during the 

representative period. Cotton producers 

must make requests to the county FSA 

office where the producer’s farm is 

located. If the producer’s land is in more 

than one county, the producer shall 

make request at the county office where 

FSA administratively maintains and 

processes the producer’s farm records. It 

is the responsibility of the person to 

provide the information needed by the 

county FSA office to determine 

eligibility. It is not the responsibility of 

the county FSA office to obtain this 

information. If any person whose name 

does not appear on the county FSA 

office list fails to provide at least one 

sales receipt for the cotton they 

produced during the representative 

period, the county FSA office shall 

determine that such person is ineligible 

to participate in the sign-up period, and 

shall note ‘‘ineligible’’ in the remarks 

section next to the person’s name on the 

county FSA office sign-up sheet. In lieu 

of personally appearing at a county FSA 

office, eligible producers may request a 

sign-up form from the county FSA office 

where the producer’s farm is located. If 

the producer’s land is in more than one 

county, the producer shall make the 

request for the sign-up form at the 

county office where FSA 

administratively maintains and 

processes the producer’s farm records. 

Such request must be accompanied by 

a copy of at least one sales receipt for 

cotton they produced during the 

representative period. The appropriate 

FSA office must receive all completed 

forms and supporting documentation by 

May 22, 2015. 

■ 7. In § 1205.28, the first sentence is 

revised to read as follows: 

§ 1205.28 Counting. 

County FSA offices and FSA, Deputy 

Administrator for Field Operations 

(DAFO), shall begin counting requests 

no later than May 22, 2015. * * * 

■ 8. Section 1205.29 is revised to read 

as follows: 

§ 1205.29 Reporting results. 

(a) Each county FSA office shall 

prepare and transmit to the state FSA 

office, by June 1, 2015, a written report 

of the number of eligible producers who 

requested the conduct of a referendum, 

and the number of ineligible persons 

who made requests. 

(b) DAFO shall prepare, by June 1, 

2015, a written report of the number of 

eligible importers who requested the 

conduct of a referendum, and the 

number of ineligible persons who made 

requests. 

(c) Each state FSA office shall, by June 

1, 2015, forward all county reports to 

DAFO. By June 8, 2015, DAFO shall 

forward its report of the total number of 

eligible producers and importers that 

requested a continuance referendum, 

through the sign-up period, to the 

Deputy Administrator, Cotton and 

Tobacco Program, Agricultural 

Marketing Service, USDA, 100 Riverside 

Parkway, Suite 101, Fredericksburg, 

Virginia 22406. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 2101–2118.

DOE has decided to extend the 

comment period for the NOPR 

pertaining to the energy conservation 

standards for hearth products until May 

11, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE 

published a NOPR in the Federal 

Register to make available and invite 

public comments on its analysis 

regarding potential energy conservation 

standards for hearth products. 80 FR 

7082 (Feb. 9, 2015). The document set 

a deadline for the submission of written 

comments by April 10, 2015. RH 

Peterson Co. requested an extension of 

the public comment period, stating that 

additional time is necessary to review 

the published analysis in order to 

prepare and submit comments. DOE has 

determined that extending the comment 

period to allow additional time for 

interested parties to submit comments is 

appropriate based on the foregoing 

reason. DOE believes that extending the 

comment period by 30 days will provide 

the public with sufficient time to submit 

comments responding to DOE’s 

analysis. Accordingly, DOE will 

consider any comments postmarked by 

May 11, 2015, and deems any comments 

received by that date to be timely 

submitted. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on April 1, 

2015.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy 

Efficiency, Energy Efficiency and Renewable 

Energy.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, 

Inc. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2B19 

(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) 

airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by results of a design review 

indicating that the burst pressure of the 

flexible hose, used to vent oxygen from 

the high-pressure relief valve of the 

oxygen cylinder overboard, was lower 

than the opening pressure of the highpressure relief valve, which could cause 

the flexible hose to burst before it can 

vent the excess oxygen overboard. This 

proposed AD would require replacing 

the oxygen hose assembly with a new, 

improved assembly. We are proposing 

this AD to prevent the accumulation of 

oxygen in an enclosed space, which 

could result in an uncontrolled oxygenfed fire if an ignition source is nearby. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by May 28, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments.
