which U.S. producers of other mandarin 

varieties may be affected would depend 

upon the quantity imported, the degree 

to which consumers may substitute 

Unshu oranges for the other mandarin 

varieties, and their price 

competitiveness. 

Under these circumstances, the rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. 

Executive Order 12988 

This final rule allows Unshu oranges 

to be imported into the continental 

United States from Japan. State and 

local laws and regulations regarding 

Unshu oranges imported under this rule 

will be preempted while the fruit is in 

foreign commerce. Fresh fruits are 

generally imported for immediate 

distribution and sale to the consuming 

public, and remain in foreign commerce 

until sold to the ultimate consumer. The 

question of when foreign commerce 

ceases in other cases must be addressed 

on a case-by-case basis. No retroactive 

effect will be given to this rule, and this 

rule will not require administrative 

proceedings before parties may file suit 

in court challenging this rule. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

In accordance with section 3507(d) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the information 

collection or recordkeeping 

requirements included in this final rule, 

which were filed under 0579–0418, 

have been submitted for approval to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). When OMB notifies us of its 

decision, if approval is denied, we will 

publish a document in the Federal 

Register providing notice of what action 

we plan to take.

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for Airbus 

Helicopters Model AS332L2 helicopters 

with a certain yaw control damper 

support (support) installed. This AD 

requires repetitively inspecting the 

support attachment points for a crack. 

This AD is prompted by a report that the 

front attachment points of several 

supports were found to have cracks. 

These actions are intended to detect a 

crack in a support, which could result 

in failure of the support, separation of 

the yaw damper unit, blocking of the 

yaw flight control channel, and reduced 

control of the helicopter. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

November 12, 2014. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by December 26, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not provide you with notice and 

an opportunity to provide your 

comments prior to it becoming effective. 

However, we invite you to participate in 

this rulemaking by submitting written 

comments, data, or views. We also 

invite comments relating to the 

economic, environmental, energy, or 

federalism impacts that resulted from 

adopting this AD. The most helpful 

comments reference a specific portion of 

the AD, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include 

supporting data. To ensure the docket 

does not contain duplicate comments, 

commenters should send only one copy 

of written comments, or if comments are 

filed electronically, commenters should 

submit them only one time. We will file 

in the docket all comments that we 

receive, as well as a report summarizing 

each substantive public contact with 

FAA personnel concerning this 

rulemaking during the comment period. 

We will consider all the comments we 

receive and may conduct additional 

rulemaking based on those comments. 

Discussion 

This AD is prompted by AD No. 

2014–0080, dated March 27, 2014, 

issued by EASA, which is the Technical 

Agent for the Member States of the 

European Union, to correct an unsafe 

condition for Airbus Helicopters Model 

AS332L2 helicopters with a support 

part number (P/N) 332A25–1334–00 

installed. EASA advises of several 

reports of cracks on the two front 

attachment points of the support, and 

that subsequent investigations 

determined pilot actions on the yaw 

pedals could generate detrimental 

loading conditions on the support 

attachment points and initiate a crack. 

EASA also states that a crack could lead 

to structural failure of the support, 

detachment of the damper unit, possible 

blocking of the yaw flight control 

channel, and reduced control of the 

helicopter. EASA AD No. 2014–0080 

requires repetitive inspections of the 

support and, if there is a crack, 

replacing the support. 

FAA’s Determination 

These helicopters have been approved 

by the aviation authority of France and 

are approved for operation in the United 

States. Pursuant to our bilateral 

agreement with France, EASA, its 

technical representative, has notified us 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

EASA AD. We are issuing this AD 

because we evaluated all information 

provided by EASA and determined the 

unsafe condition exists and is likely to 

exist or develop on other helicopters of 

the same type design. 

Related Service Information 

We reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert 

Service Bulletin No. AS332–05.00.98, 

Revision 0, dated March 26, 2014 (ASB), 

for Model AS332L2 helicopters. This 

ASB describes procedures for inspecting 

the support attachment points for a 

crack and, if there is a crack, requires 

replacing the support. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires, for helicopters with 

3,900 or more hours time-in-service 

(TIS), within 100 hours TIS and at 

intervals not exceeding 825 hours TIS, 

repetitively inspecting each support, P/ 

N 332–A25–1334–00, at its attachment 

points for a crack. If there is a crack, this 

AD requires replacing the support 

before further flight. 

Interim Action 

We consider this AD to be an interim 

action. If final action is later identified, 

we might consider further rulemaking 

then. 

Costs of Compliance 

There are no costs of compliance with 

this AD because there are no helicopters 

with this type certificate on the U.S. 

Registry. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

There are no helicopters with this 

type certificate on the U.S. Registry. 

Therefore, we believe it is unlikely that 

we will receive any adverse comments 

or useful information about this AD 

from U.S. Operators. 

Since an unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD, we determined that notice and 

opportunity for public comment before 

issuing this AD are unnecessary because 

there are none of these products on the 

U.S. Registry. 

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 AD will not 

have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. This AD will 

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, I certify 

that this AD: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

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

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 

3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in 

Alaska to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction; and 

4. Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative,

Removal of the Qualified Payment 

Card Agent Program 

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), 

Treasury. 

ACTION: Final regulations. 

SUMMARY: This document contains final 

regulations that will remove regulations 

relating to information reporting and 

backup withholding for the Qualified 

Payment Card Agent (QPCA) Program. 

This document also amends regulations 

to remove references to the QPCA 

Program. Enactment of the payment 

card and third party network reporting 

requirements in the Housing Assistance 

Tax Act of 2008 made the QPCA 

Program obsolete. Because no payors 

have applied to be designated as a 

QPCA (and no payors have been 

designated as a QPCA), no taxpayers 

will be affected by these final 

regulations. 

DATES: These regulations are effective 

October 27, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This document amends the 

Employment Tax Regulations (26 CFR 

Part 31) and the Procedure and 

Administration Regulations (26 CFR 

Part 301) to remove deadwood 

provisions relating to the now obsolete 

QPCA Program. On March 24, 2014, a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (REG– 

163195–05) was published in the 

Federal Register (79 FR 15926) 

proposing to remove §§ 31.3406(g)–1(f), 

301.6724–1(e)(1)(vi)(H), and 301.6724– 

1(f)(5)(vii) and amend § 301.6724– 

1(c)(6) to remove references to QPCAs. 

The notice of proposed rulemaking also 

withdrew proposed regulations 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 13, 2007 relating to the QPCA 

Program (72 FR 38534). No comments 

were received in response to the 

proposed regulations. 

Section 6041(a) requires persons 

engaged in a trade or business and 

making payments in the course of such 

trade or business to another person of 

rent, salaries, wages, premiums, 

annuities, compensations, 

remunerations, emoluments, or other 

fixed or determinable gains, profits, and 

income of $600 or more in any one 

taxable year to file information returns 

with the IRS and to furnish information 

statements to payees. Among other 

items, the payor must include the 

payee’s name and taxpayer 

identification number (TIN) on the 

information return and the information 

statement. Section 3406(a)(1) requires a 

payor to withhold on any reportable 

payment (as defined in section 

3406(b)(1)) if: (1) The payee fails to 

furnish the payee’s TIN to the payor as 

required; or (2) the Secretary notifies the 

payor that the TIN furnished by the 

payee is incorrect. 

The QPCA Program was developed by 

the IRS to enhance the accuracy of 

section 6041 information reporting in 

transactions where a payment card, 

such as a credit card, is accepted as
