[Docket No. APHIS–2008–0147] 

Change in Disease Status of the 

Republic of Korea With Regard to 

Foot-and-Mouth Disease and 

Rinderpest 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective 

date. 

SUMMARY: On December 28, 2009, we 

published a final rule in the Federal 

Register to add the Republic of Korea to 

the list of regions that are considered 

free of rinderpest and foot-and-mouth 

disease (FMD) and the list of regions 

that are subject to certain import 

restrictions on meat and meat products 

because of their proximity to or trading 

relationships with rinderpest- or FMDaffected countries. The final rule was 

scheduled to become effective on 

January 12, 2010. However, due to an 

outbreak of FMD reported by the 

Republic of Korea on January 6, 2010, 

we are delaying indefinitely the 

effective date of the final rule. This 

delay will allow the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service to consider 

the issues raised by this development 

and decide what subsequent actions to 

take. 

DATES: The effective date for the final 

rule amending 9 CFR part 94 published 

at 74 FR 68478–68480 on December 28, 

2009, is delayed indefinitely.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In a final rule1 published in the 

Federal Register on December 28, 2009 

(74 FR 68478–68480, Docket No. 

APHIS–2008–0147), we amended the 

regulations in 9 CFR part 94 concerning 

the importation of animals and animal 

products by adding the Republic of 

Korea (South Korea) to the list in § 94.1 

of regions declared free of FMD and 

rinderpest. We also added the Republic 

of Korea to the list in § 94.11 of regions 

that are declared to be free of these 

diseases, but that are subject to certain 

restrictions because of their proximity to 

or trading relationships with rinderpestor FMD-affected regions. 

The final rule was scheduled to 

become effective on January 12, 2010. 

However, on January 6, 2010, the 

Republic of Korea confirmed through 

laboratory diagnosis that an FMD 

outbreak occurred on a dairy farm in 

Kyonggi Province. As a consequence, 

we no longer consider the Republic of 

Korea to be free of FMD. Therefore, we 

are delaying the effective date of the 

final rule indefinitely. This delay will 

allow the Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service to consider the issues 

raised by this development and decide 

what subsequent actions to take. 

■ Accordingly, the final rule amending 

9 CFR part 94 published at 74 FR 

68478–68480 on December 28, 2009, is 

delayed indefinitely. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 450, 7701–7772, 7781– 

7786, and 8301–8317; 21 U.S.C. 136 and 

136a; 31 U.S.C. 9701; 7 CFR 2.22, 2.80, and 

371.4.

Airworthiness Directives; DassaultAviation Model Falcon 7X Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This 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: 

Several occurrences of untimely radioaltimeter lock-up have been reported, where 

the failed radio-altimeter indicated a negative 

distance to the ground despite the aircraft 

was flying at medium or high altitude. 

A locked radio-altimeter #1 leads to 

untimely inhibition of warnings that could be 

displayed along with certain abnormal 

conditions while the avionic system switches 

into landing mode during altitude cruise. 

* * * * * 

[Untimely radio-altimeter lock-up] may 

cause the crew to be unaware of possible 

system failures that could require urgent 

crew’s actions. 

* * * * * 

This AD requires actions that are 

intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

January 28, 2010. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by March 1, 2010.
