SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Commodity Promotion, Research 

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

7411–7425) (Act), it is hereby directed 

that a referendum be conducted to 

ascertain whether continuance of the 

Order is favored by producers of 

peanuts covered under the program. The 

Order is authorized under the Act. 

The representative period for 

establishing voter eligibility for the 

referendum shall be the period from 

January 1 through December 31, 2013. 

Persons who are currently producers of 

peanuts, and who produced peanuts 

and paid assessments during the 

representative period are eligible to 

vote. Persons who received an 

exemption from assessments for the 

entire representative period are 

ineligible to vote. The referendum shall 

be conducted by mail from April 7 

through April 18, 2014. 

Section 518 of the Act authorizes 

continuance referenda. Under section 

1216.82 of the Order, the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (Department) 

must conduct a referendum every five 

years or when 10 percent or more of the 

eligible peanut producers petition the 

Secretary of Agriculture to hold a 

referendum to determine if persons 

subject to assessment favor continuance 

of the Order. The Department would 

continue the Order if continuance is 

approved by a simple majority of the 

producers voting in the referendum. 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35), the referendum ballot has 

been approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) and 

assigned OMB No. 0581–0093. It has 

been estimated that there are 

approximately 9,208 producers who 

will be eligible to vote in the 

referendum. It will take an average of 15 

minutes for each voter to read the voting 

instructions and complete the 

referendum ballot.

agents to conduct this referendum. The 

referendum procedures 7 CFR 1216.100

voting instructions to all known 

producers prior to the first day of the 

voting period. Persons who are 

producers at the time of the referendum 

and who produced peanuts and paid 

assessments during the representative 

period are eligible to vote. Persons who 

received an exemption from 

assessments during the entire 

representative period are ineligible to 

vote. Any eligible producer who does

period. Ballots must be received by the

business 4:30 p.m. Eastern time, April

Airworthiness Directives; General

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede 

airworthiness directives (ADs) 90–26– 

01, 91–20–02, and 2009–05–02, which 

apply to all General Electric Company 

(GE) CF6–80C2 and CF6–80E1 series 

turbofan engines. Since we issued ADs 

90–26–01, 91–20–02, and 2009–05–02, 

we received a report of an undercowl 

fire caused by a manifold high-pressure 

fuel leak, and several additional reports 

of fuel leaks. This proposed AD would 

require additional repetitive 

inspections, replacement of tube (block) 

clamp, and inspection of fuel manifolds 

for wear at each tube (block) clamp 

location. We are proposing this AD to
