**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 tradingrelationships 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.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Dr. Julia Punderson, Senior Staff Veterinarian, Regionalization Evaluation Services, National Center for Import and Export, VS, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 38, Riverdale, MD 20737–1231; (301) 734–4356. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

In a final rule 1 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 toor 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.

**RIN 2120–AA64**

**Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation 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.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may send comments by any of the following methods:
