deductible not exceeding five percent 

(5%) of the total coverage amount. 

Ownership Requirement Pilot for 

Energy Efficient Manufactured and 

Modular Home Financing in LandLease Communities Operating on a 

Nonprofit Basis 

The Agency is continuing with the 

existing pilot that involves the 

ownership requirement for new energyefficient manufactured and modular 

homes in land-lease communities 

operating on a nonprofit basis. 

According to 7 CFR 3550.58(b), a 

leasehold interest must have an 

unexpired term that is at least 150 

percent of the term of the mortgage for 

Direct loans. According to 7 CFR 

3555.203(b)(3), a leasehold interest must 

have an unexpired term of at least 45 

years from the date of loan closing for 

a Guaranteed loan. 

Eligibility Requirements 

Under this pilot, RD will accept a 

lease with an unexpired term that is at 

least two years beyond the term of the 

promissory note in the pilot states. 

The following States are included in 

this pilot: California, Michigan, 

Minnesota, New Hampshire, Oregon, 

Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Wisconsin. 

The loan request must be from an 

eligible applicant, all the pilot 

conditions must be met, and new 

manufactured and modular homes must 

meet the following pilot conditions: 

At a minimum, new manufactured 

and modular homes must be Energy Star 

compliant. Additionally, the unexpired 

term of the lease must be at least two 

years longer than the mortgage term. 

While the lease terms in 7 CFR 

3550.58(b) and 3555.203(b)(3) offer 

borrowers some protections, many states 

have statutes that promulgate fair lease 

terms and safeguard residents of landlease communities. 

For the SFH Guaranteed Loan 

Program, pilot states should consider 

following the recommendations in 

HUD’s interim guidance related to 24 

CFR 3285.312 on the use of frost-free 

foundations or frost protected shallow 

foundations. 

For the SFH Direct Loan Program, 

pilot states may use the 

recommendations from HUD’s interim 

guidance on frost-free or frost-protected 

shallow foundations in lieu of RD 

Instruction 1924–A, Exhibit J. Under the 

HUD interim guidance 

recommendations, the installer should 

install all footings and piers below the 

frost line depth, or for Frost Free 

Foundations, have a site investigation 

performed by a soil engineer or 

geotechnical engineer to verify if the 

soil condition at each home site is of a 

non-frost susceptible classification and 

is well drained. In lieu of a site soil 

investigation, a layer of washed gravel, 

or crushed stone, or course or dense 

sand may be provided to the frost line 

depth. For either of these alternatives, 

subsurface drains need to be provided; 

or use a Frost Protected Shallow 

Foundation system that utilizes below 

ground insulation to protect the soil 

from freezing with subsurface drains 

provided at each site. 

The applicant and property must meet 

all other criteria set forth in 7 CFR part 

3550 and HB–1–3550 for Direct loans or 

7 CFR part 3555 and HB–1–3555 for 

Guaranteed loans, as applicable for 

application guidance. Program Directors 

should use the tracking tool under the 

‘‘Energy Efficient Housing’’ link on the 

SFH SharePoint tracking site to report 

loans made under this pilot. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The regulatory waivers for this pilot 

contains no new reporting or 

recordkeeping burdens under OMB 

control number 0575–0179 that would 

require approval under the Paperwork 

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

chapter 35).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain The Boeing Company 

Model 747–100, 747–100B, 747–100B 

SUD, 747–200B, 747–200C, 747–200F, 

747–300, 747–400, 747–400D, 747– 

400F, 747SP, and 747SR series 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on July 3, 2024 (89 FR 

55128). The NPRM was prompted a 

report indicating cracks at eight fastener 

hole locations in the fuselage skin lap 

splice between STAs 1450 and 1470 at 

stringers S–23L and S–23R. 

In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to 

require repetitive inspections of the 

upper fastener row of the fuselage skin 

lap splice in a certain area for any crack, 

and applicable on-condition actions. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect 

and correct cracking of the upper 

fastener row of the fuselage skin lap 

splice between STAs 1350 and 1480 at 

stringers S–23L and S–23R. The unsafe 

condition, if not addressed, could result 

in an in-flight rapid decompression and 

a loss of structural integrity of the 

fuselage. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received a comment from 

Boeing who supported the NPRM 

without change. 

Conclusion 

The FAA reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comment received, and 

determined that air safety requires 

adopting this AD as proposed. 

Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD 

to address the unsafe condition on these 

products. Except for minor editorial 

changes, this AD is adopted as proposed 

in the NPRM. None of the changes will 

increase the economic burden on any 

operator. 

Material Incorporated by Reference 

Under 1 CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert 

Requirements Bulletin 747–53A2912 

RB, dated April 5, 2024. This material 

specifies procedures for repetitive 

external surface high frequency eddy 

current inspections of the upper fastener 

row of the fuselage skin lap splice 

between STAs 1350 and 1480 at 

stringers S–23L and S–23R for any 

crack, and applicable on-condition 

actions. On-condition actions include 

obtaining and following repair 

instructions. 

This material is reasonably available 

because the interested parties have 

access to it through their normal course 

of business or by the means identified 

in the ADDRESSES section. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 170 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following costs 

to comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Inspections ............................. 8 work-hours × $85 per hour 

= $680 per inspection cycle.

$0 $680 per inspection cycle ...... $115,600 per inspection 

cycle. 

The FAA has received no definitive 

data on which to base the cost estimates 

for the on-condition actions specified in 

this AD. 

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. 

The FAA is 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 

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 above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(3) 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.
