Provisions for Removing Commodity 

Research and Promotion Board 

Members and Staff 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Extension of comment period. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the comment period on proposed 

amendments to the provisions for 

removal of board and council members 

or staff of the research and promotion 

orders—or the regulations under the 

orders—overseen by the Agricultural 

Marketing Service (AMS) is extended to 

December 23, 2016. The proposed rule 

would provide uniform authority for the 

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) 

to initiate action to remove board 

members and staff who fail to perform 

their duties or who engage in dishonest 

actions or willful misconduct. Such 

action is necessary to ensure the boards 

can continue to fulfill their intended 

purposes with minimal disruption. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

December 23, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments 

concerning this proposed rule. 

Comments should be submitted on the 

internet at: http://www.regulations.gov. 

Written comments may also be sent to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A 

proposed rule was published in the 

Federal Register on November 23, 2016 

(81 FR 84510). The proposed rule would 

amend the orders and/or rules and 

regulations for 19 of the 22 national 

commodity research and promotion 

programs overseen by AMS by 

providing uniform authority for USDA 

to initiate action as necessary to remove 

board and council members or their staff 

employees to preserve program integrity 

and mitigate damage from illegal or 

inappropriate behavior. Currently, most 

of AMS’s 22 research and promotion 

programs specify provisions for 

removing board and council members or 

their staff employees when they are 

unwilling or unable to perform their 

duties properly or when they engage in 

prohibited or illegal activities or other 

willful misconduct. However, removal 

authority is inconsistent across all of the 

programs, which impairs AMS’s ability 

to provide uniform oversight of the 

programs and their assets. The 15-day 

comment period provided in the 

proposed rule closes December 8, 2016. 

USDA received letters from several of 

the affected programs requesting that 

the comment period be extended. The 

letters expressed concern that the 

original comment period was 

insufficient to allow commenters to 

adequately evaluate the impacts of the 

proposal and develop appropriate 

comments. 

Authority: This document is issued under 

19 of the commodity research and promotion 

orders established under the following acts: 

Beef Promotion and Research Act of 1985 (7 

U.S.C. 2901–2911); Commodity Promotion, 

Research, and Information Act of 1996 (7 

U.S.C. 7411–7425); Cotton Research and 

Promotion Act of 1966 (7 U.S.C. 2101–2118); 

Dairy Production Stabilization Act of 1983 (7 

U.S.C. 4501–4514); Egg Research and 

Consumer Information Act of 1974 (7 U.S.C. 

2701–2718); Fluid Milk Promotion Act of 

1990 (7 U.S.C. 6401–6417); Hass Avocado 

Promotion, Research, and Information Act of 

2000 (U.S.C. 7801–7813); Mushroom 

Promotion, Research, and Consumer 

Information Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 6101– 

6112); Popcorn Promotion, Research, and 

Consumer Information Act of 1996 (7 U.S.C. 

7481–7491); Pork Promotion, Research, and 

Consumer Information Act of 1985 (7 U.S.C. 

4801–4819); Potato Research and Promotion 

Act of 1971 (7 U.S.C. 2611–2627); and 

Watermelon Research and Promotion Act (7 

U.S.C. 4901–4916). These acts are 

collectively referred to as ‘‘commodity 

research and promotion laws’’ or ‘‘acts.’’

24–06 applies to all BAE Systems 

(Operations) Limited Model Bae 146– 

100A, –200A, and –300A airplanes; and 

Model Avro 146–RJ70A, 146–RJ85A, 

and 146–RJ100A airplanes. This action 

revises the NPRM by adding airplanes to 

the applicability. We are proposing this 

AD to address the unsafe condition on 

these products. Since these actions 

impose an additional burden over those 

proposed in the NPRM, we are 

reopening the comment period to allow 

the public the chance to comment on 

these proposed changes.

Discussion 

On November 8, 2011, we issued AD 

2011–24–06, Amendment 39–16870 (76 

FR 73477, November 29, 2011) (‘‘AD 

2011–24–06’’). AD 2011–24–06 requires 

actions intended to address an unsafe 

condition on all BAE Systems 

(Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 

series airplanes; and Model Avro 146– 

RJ series airplanes. 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD to supersede 

AD 2011–24–06 that would apply to all 

BAE Systems (Operations) Limited 

Model Avro 146–RJ series airplanes. 

The NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on March 8, 2016 (81 FR 

12044) (‘‘the NPRM’’). The NPRM was 

prompted by a determination that new 

or revised structural inspection 

requirements are necessary. The NPRM 

proposed to require revising the 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate new or 

revised structural inspection 

requirements. 

Actions Since Previous NPRM Was 

Issued 

Since we issued the NPRM, we have 

determined that the applicability should 

include BAE Systems (Operations) 

Limited Model BAe 146 series airplanes. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness 

Directive 2014–0071, dated March 19, 

2014 (referred to after this as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct 

an unsafe condition for all BAE Systems 

(Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 

series and Avro 146–RJ series airplanes. 

The MCAI states: 

The BAe 146/AVRO 146–RJ Aircraft 

Maintenance Manual (AMM) includes the 

Chapters as listed in Appendix 1 of this 

[EASA] AD. Compliance with these chapters 

has been identified as a mandatory action for 

continued airworthiness and EASA AD 

2012–0004 was issued to require operators to 

comply with those instructions. 

Since that [EASA] AD was issued, BAE 

Systems (Operations) Ltd revised the AMM 

(Revision 107), introducing a new defined 

life limit for the Fire Bottle Cartridge Firing 

Unit into Chapter 05–10–15. Subsequently, 

Revision 108 of the AMM introduced in 

Chapter 05–20–00 inspection tasks for repairs 

applied to fatigue critical structures and also 

introduced a new Chapter 05–20–07 to 

provide Structural Repair Manual (SRM) 

references for these tasks, applicable to 

repairs accomplished after the publication of 

AMM Revision 108. Finally, AMM Revision 

111 introduced safe life limitations into 

Chapter 05–10–15 for rollers of main landing 

gear and door up-locks. 

Furthermore, Section 6 of the Maintenance 

Review Board Report (MRBR) Document 

MRB 146–01, Issue 2, Revision 18 was 

published (as referenced in Chapter 05–20– 

01 of the AMM) to correct discrepancies in 

inspection tasks for a number of Structurally 

Important Items (SIIs). Grace periods for 

these revised inspection tasks are included in 

BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd Inspection 

Service Bulletin (ISB) ISB.53–237. 

Failure to comply with the new and more 

restrictive tasks and limitations referenced 

above could result in an unsafe condition. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD retains the requirements of EASA 

AD 2012–0004, which is superseded, and 

requires implementation of the maintenance 

tasks and/or airworthiness limitations as 

specified in the defined parts of Chapter 05 

of the AMM at Revision 112. 

The unsafe condition is fatigue 

cracking of certain structural elements, 

which could adversely affect the 

structural integrity of the airplane. You 

may examine the MCAI in the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2016– 

4220. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this proposed 

AD. We considered the comment 

received. 

Request To Revise the Applicability 

Neptune Aviation Services requested 

that we revise the applicability to 

include BAE Systems (Operations) 

Limited Model BAe 146–100A, –200A, 

and –300A airplanes. The commenter 

stated that these airplanes are in the 

applicability of AD 2011–24–06. 

We agree that BAE Systems 

(Operations) Limited BAe 146–100A, 

–200A, and –300A airplanes should be 

in the applicability in order to address 

the identified unsafe condition for those 

airplanes. We have revised paragraph (c) 

of this proposed AD accordingly.

89880 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 13, 2016 / Proposed Rules 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This SNPRM 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with the State of 

Design Authority, we have been notified 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of these same 

type designs. 

Certain changes described above 

expand the scope of the NPRM. As a 

result, we have determined that it is 

necessary to reopen the comment period 

to provide additional opportunity for 

the public to comment on this SNPRM. 

This proposed AD requires revisions 

to certain operator maintenance 

documents to include new actions (e.g., 

inspections) and critical design 

configuration control limitations 

(CDCCLs). Compliance with these 

actions and CDCCLs is required by 14 

CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have 

been previously modified, altered, or 

repaired in the areas addressed by this 

proposed AD, the operator may not be 

able to accomplish the actions described 

in the revisions. In this situation, to 

comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the 

operator must request approval for an 

alternative method of compliance 

according to paragraph (k)(1) of this 

proposed AD. The request should 

include a description of changes to the 

required actions that will ensure the 

continued damage tolerance of the 

affected structure. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this SNPRM affects 

2 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The actions required by AD 2011–24– 

06 and retained in this proposed AD 

take about 3 work-hours per product, at 

an average labor rate of $85 per workhour. Based on these figures, the 

estimated cost of the actions that are 

required by AD 2011–24–06 is $255 per 

product. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 1 work-hour per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this proposed AD on U.S. operators to 

be $170, or $85 per product. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. ‘‘Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs,’’ describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in ‘‘Subtitle VII, 

Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: 

General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

We determined that this proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD would not have a 

substantial direct effect on the States, on 

the relationship between the national 

Government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify this proposed regulation: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 

3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in 

Alaska; and 

4. Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference,

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking (SNPRM); 

reopening of comment period. 

SUMMARY: We are revising an earlier 

proposal to supersede Airworthiness 

Directive (AD) 2014–16–02 for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–1A11 

(CL–600) airplanes. This action revises 

the notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM) by reducing the compliance 

time to modify the thrust reversers, and 

adding new modification procedures. 

We are proposing this AD to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

Since these actions impose an 

additional burden over those proposed 

in the NPRM, we are reopening the 

comment period to allow the public the 

chance to comment on these proposed 

changes. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this SNPRM by January 27, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following
