ACTION : Extension of public comment

SUMMARY : On November 27, 1996 (61 FR

or Department) proposed regulations to

implement the standards and test

procedures for commercial and

industrial electric motors established in

same notice of proposed rulemaking, the

Department also proposed to establish

efficiency labeling requirements and

compliance certification requirements

for motors, as directed by the Act.

On January 15, 1997, DOE held a

public hearing to receive oral comments

available for review in the Department

of Energy, Freedom of Information

Reading Room.

opportunity to fully review and

comment on the proposed rulemaking

and the information that was presented

during the public hearing, today's notice

extends the public comment period

from February 17 through March 10,

1997.

DATES : The Department will accept

written statements, comments, data, and

information regarding the proposed rule

for electric motors no later than March

10, 1997.

ADDRESSES : Written comments and

written statements (10 copies) should be

BILLING CODE 6450-01-P

Federal Register

Vol. 62, No. 31

Friday, February 14, 1997

This proposal would require repetitive

detailed visual inspections to detect

cracks on frame 179 at the attachment

bracket for the door restraint cable, and

various follow-on actions. This proposal

also would require installation of new

doublers and stress pads on frame 179,

which would terminate the repetitive

inspections. This proposal is prompted

by reports of cracks in frame 179 of the

fuselage at the attachment bracket for

the door restraint cable on in-service

airplanes due to improper rigging of the

door restraint system. The actions

specified by the proposed AD are

intended to prevent such cracking,

which could result in structural failure

of the fuselage and consequent rapid

decompression of the pressurized

section of the fuselage.

DATES : Comments must be received by

March 27, 1997.

ADDRESSES : Submit comments in

triplicate to the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), Transport

Airplane Directorate, ANM-103,

Attention: Rules Docket No. 96-NM168-AD, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW.,
