remaining imports. Most imported

grapefruit enters the United States from

November through May.

With regard to alternatives, this action

offers the best alternative to achieve the

intended purpose of clarifying the

inspection requirements.

This rule would not impose any

additional reporting or recordkeeping

requirements on either small or large

Florida citrus handlers and importers.

As with all Federal marketing order

programs, reports and forms are

periodically reviewed to reduce

information requirements and

duplication by industry and public

sectors. In addition, the Department has

not identified any relevant Federal rules

that duplicate, overlap or conflict with

this rule. However, Florida citrus must

meet the requirements specified in the

U.S. standards for the various types of

citrus grown in Florida issued under the

Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7

U.S.C. 1621 through 1627).

Further, the Committee’s meeting was

widely publicized throughout the

Florida citrus industry and all interested

persons were invited to attend the

meeting and participate in Committee

deliberations. Like all Committee

meetings, the April 6, 1999, meeting

was a public meeting and all entities,

both large and small, were able to

express their views on this issue.

Finally, interested persons are invited to

submit information on the regulatory

and informational impacts of this action

on small businesses.

A small business guide on complying

with fruit, vegetable, and speciality crop

marketing agreements and orders may

be viewed at the following website:

http://www.ams.usda.gov/fv/

moab.html. Any questions about the

compliance guide should be sent to Jay

Guerber at the previously mentioned

address in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section.

In accordance with section 8e of the

Act, the United States Trade

Representative has concurred with the

issuance of this proposed rule.

A 60-day comment period is provided

to allow interested persons to respond

to this proposal. All written comments

timely received will be considered

before a final determination is made on

this matter.

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing

Model 767 Series Airplanes Powered

by General Electric or Pratt & Whitney

Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: This document proposes the

adoption of a new airworthiness

directive (AD) that is applicable to

certain Boeing Model 767 series

airplanes powered by General Electric

or Pratt & Whitney engines. This

proposal would require repetitive

inspections to detect discrepancies of

the aft-most fastener holes in the

horizontal tangs of the midspar fitting of

the strut, and corrective actions, if

necessary. This proposal also provides

for optional terminating action for the

repetitive inspections. This action is

necessary to prevent fatigue cracking in

primary strut structure and reduced

structural integrity of the strut, which

could result in separation of the strut

and engine. This action is intended to

address the identified unsafe condition.

DATES: Comments must be received by

November 24, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments in

triplicate to the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), Transport

Airplane Directorate, ANM–114,

Attention: Rules Docket No. 2000–NM–

157–AD, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW.,

Renton, Washington 98055–4056.

Comments may be inspected at this

location between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00

p.m., Monday through Friday, except

Federal holidays. Comments may be

submitted via fax to (425) 227–1232.

Comments may also be sent via the

Internet using the following address: 9-

anm-nprmcomment@faa.gov. Comments

sent via fax or the Internet must contain
