Hazelnuts Grown in Oregon and 

Washington; Continuance Referendum 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Referendum order. 

SUMMARY: This document directs that a 

referendum be conducted among 

eligible Oregon and Washington 

hazelnut growers to determine whether 

they favor continuance of the marketing 

order regulating the handling of 

hazelnuts grown in Oregon and 

Washington. 

DATES: The referendum will be 

conducted from October 28 through 

November 18, 2024. Only current 

hazelnut growers who have grown 

hazelnuts within the designated 

production area during the period July 

1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, are 

eligible to vote in this referendum. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the marketing 

order may be obtained from the office of 

the referendum agents at 1220 SW 3rd 

Avenue, Suite 305, Portland, Oregon

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to Marketing Order No. 982, as amended 

(7 CFR part 982), hereinafter referred to 

as the ‘‘Order,’’ and the applicable 

provisions of the Agricultural Marketing 

Agreement Act of 1937, as amended (7 

U.S.C. 601–674), hereinafter referred to 

as the ‘‘Act,’’ it is hereby directed that 

a referendum be conducted to ascertain 

whether continuance of the Order is 

favored by hazelnut growers. The 

referendum shall be conducted from 

October 28 to November 18, 2024, 

among hazelnut growers in the 

production area. Only current hazelnut 

growers that were also engaged in the 

production of hazelnuts during the 

period of July 1, 2023, through June 30, 

2024, may participate in the 

continuance referendum. 

USDA has determined that 

continuance referenda are an effective 

means for determining whether growers 

favor continuation of marketing order 

programs. USDA would consider 

termination of the Order if less than 

two-thirds of growers voting in the 

referendum, or growers of less than twothirds of the volume represented in the 

referendum, favor continuance. In 

evaluating the merits of continuance 

versus termination, USDA will not 

exclusively consider the results of the 

continuance referendum. USDA will 

also consider all other relevant 

information concerning the operation of 

the Order and the relative benefits and 

costs to growers, handlers, and 

consumers to determine whether 

continued operation of the Order would 

tend to effectuate the declared policy of 

the Act. 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

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

chapter 35), the ballot materials used in 

the referendum have been approved by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) and have been assigned OMB 

No. 0581–0178, Vegetable and Specialty 

Crops. It has been estimated that it will 

take an average of 20 minutes for each 

of the approximately 1,100 Oregon and 

Washington hazelnut growers to cast a 

ballot. Participation is voluntary. Ballots 

postmarked after November 18, 2024, 

will not be included in the vote 

tabulation. 

Virginia Tjemsland and Barry 

Broadbent of the Northwest Region 

Branch, Market Development Division, 

Specialty Crops Program, AMS, USDA, 

are hereby designated as the referendum 

agents of the Secretary of Agriculture to 

conduct this referendum. The procedure 

applicable to the referendum shall be 

the ‘‘Procedure for the Conduct of 

Referenda in Connection with 

Marketing Orders for Fruits, Vegetables, 

and Nuts Pursuant to the Agricultural 

Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as 

Amended’’ (7 CFR 900.400 through 

900.407). 

Ballots will be mailed to all hazelnut 

growers of record and may also be 

obtained from the referendum agents or 

their appointees.

Airworthiness Directives; ATR—GIE 

Avions de Transport Re ́gional 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

ATR—GIE Avions de Transport 

Re ́gional Model ATR42 and ATR72 

airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by a report of a manufacturing 

defect identified in the lavatory fire 

extinguisher. This defect could 

potentially result in leakage at the 

eutectic tip, leading to a loss of pressure 

in the cylinder, making fire 

extinguishing capabilities ineffective. 

This proposed AD would require an 

inspection (i.e., weight check) and 

replacement, as applicable, of certain 

lavatory compartment fire extinguishers, 

and would also prohibit the installation 

of affected parts, as specified in a 

European Union Aviation Safety Agency 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

The FAA invites you to send any 

written relevant data, views, or 

arguments about this proposal. Send 

your comments to an address listed 

under the ADDRESSES section. Include 

‘‘Docket No. FAA–2024–2330; Project 

Identifier MCAI–2024–00393–T’’ at the 

beginning of your comments. The most 

helpful comments reference a specific 

portion of the proposal, explain the 

reason for any recommended change, 

and include supporting data. The FAA 

will consider all comments received by 

the closing date and may amend this 

proposal because of those comments. 

Except for Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) as described in the 

following paragraph, and other 

information as described in 14 CFR 

11.35, the FAA will post all comments 

received, without change, to 

regulations.gov, including any personal 

information you provide. The agency 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact received 

about this NPRM. 

Confidential Business Information 

CBI is commercial or financial 

information that is both customarily and 

actually treated as private by its owner. 

Under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt 

from public disclosure. If your 

comments responsive to this NPRM 

contain commercial or financial 

information that is customarily treated 

as private, that you actually treat as 

private, and that is relevant or 

responsive to this NPRM, it is important 

that you clearly designate the submitted 

comments as CBI. Please mark each 

page of your submission containing CBI 

as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA will treat such 

marked submissions as confidential 

under the FOIA, and they will not be 

placed in the public docket of this 

NPRM. Submissions containing CBI 

should be sent to Shahram 

Daneshmandi, Aviation Safety Engineer, 

FAA, 1600 Stewart Avenue, Suite 410, 

Westbury, NY 11590; telephone 206– 

231–3220; email 

shahram.daneshmandi@faa.gov. Any 

commentary that the FAA receives 

which is not specifically designated as 

CBI will be placed in the public docket 

for this rulemaking. 

Background 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA AD 2024–0132, 

dated July 9, 2024 (EASA AD 2024– 

0132) (also referred to as the MCAI), to 

correct an unsafe condition for all 

Model ATR42–200, ATR42–300, 

ATR42–320, ATR42–400, and ATR42– 

500 airplanes; and Model ATR72–101, 

ATR72–102, ATR72–201, ATR72–202, 

ATR72–211, ATR72–212, and ATR72– 

212A airplanes. 

Model ATR42–400 airplanes are not 

certificated by the FAA and are not 

included on the U.S. type certificate 

data sheet; this proposed AD therefore 

does not include those airplanes in the 

applicability. The MCAI states a 

manufacturing defect was identified in 

the lavatory fire extinguisher. This 

defect could potentially result in 

leakage at the eutectic tip, leading to a 

loss of pressure in the cylinder, making 

fire extinguishing capabilities 

ineffective. This condition, if not 

detected and corrected, in combination 

with fire in the lavatory waste bin, 

could result in the propagation of an 

uncontrolled fire. 

The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2024–2330. 

Material Incorporated by Reference 

Under 1 CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2024–0132 specifies 

procedures for the inspection (i.e., 

weight check) and replacement, if any 

discrepancy is found (i.e., the measured 

weight is more than 2.0 grams below the 

gross weight stated on the product 

label), of certain lavatory compartment 

fire extinguishers and prohibits the 

installation of affected parts. 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. 

FAA’s Determination 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country and is approved for operation in 

the United States. Pursuant to the FAA’s 

bilateral agreement with this State of 

Design Authority, it has notified the 

FAA of the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA 

is issuing this NPRM after determining 

that the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

in other products of the same type 

design. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

EASA AD 2024–0132 described 

previously, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this proposed AD. 

Explanation of Required Compliance 

Information 

In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to 

improve the efficiency of the AD 

process, the FAA developed a process to 

use some civil aviation authority (CAA) 

ADs as the primary source of 

information for compliance with 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
82192 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 197 / Thursday, October 10, 2024 / Proposed Rules 

requirements for corresponding FAA 

ADs. The FAA has been coordinating 

this process with manufacturers and 

CAAs. As a result, the FAA proposes to 

incorporate EASA AD 2024–0132 by 

reference in the FAA final rule. This 

proposed AD would, therefore, require 

compliance with EASA AD 2024–0132 

in its entirety through that 

incorporation, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this proposed AD. 

Using common terms that are the same 

as the heading of a particular section in 

EASA AD 2024–0132 does not mean 

that operators need comply only with 

that section. For example, where the AD 

requirement refers to ‘‘all required 

actions and compliance times,’’ 

compliance with this AD requirement is 

not limited to the section titled 

‘‘Required Action(s) and Compliance 

Time(s)’’ in EASA AD 2024–0132. 

Material required by EASA AD 2024– 

0132 for compliance will be available at 

regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA– 

2024–2330 after the FAA final rule is 

published. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 77 

airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA 

estimates the following costs to comply 

with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTION

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

1 work-hours × $85 per hour = $85 ............................................................................................ $0 $85 $6,545 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary on-condition 

action that would be required based on 

the results of any required actions. The 

FAA has no way of determining the 

number of aircraft that might need this 

on-condition action: 

ESTIMATED COSTS OF ON-CONDITION ACTION

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 .......................................................................................................................... $640 $725 

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 

The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

potentially result in leakage at the eutectic 

tip, leading to a loss of pressure in the 

cylinder, making fire extinguishing 

capabilities ineffective. The FAA is issuing 

this AD to address this condition, which if 

not detected and corrected, in combination 

with fire in the lavatory waste bin, could 

result in the propagation of an uncontrolled 

fire.

million or $50 million for acquisition 

and sustainment programs expected to 

exceed $100 million. The data will 

facilitate cost estimation and 

comparison across acquisition 

programs. The changes to the DoDI and 

the DoDM implement DoDI 5000.02, 

Operation of the Adaptive Acquisition 

Framework, which restructured defense 

acquisition guidance to improve process 

effectiveness and implement the

II. Discussion and Analysis 

This rule proposes to modify DFARS 

subpart 234.71 to implement 10 U.S.C. 

3227(b) and (c) and the updates made to 

DoDI 5000.73 and DoDM 5000.04 

resulting from implementation of the 

Adaptive Acquisition Framework. This 

proposed rule amends DFARS subpart 

234.71 to establish policy and 

procedures necessary to implement the 

updates to DoDI 5000.73 and DoDM 

5000.04. 

The rule also proposes to modify the 

DFARS to revise cost and software data 

reporting requirements for contracts 

above certain thresholds when awarded 

in support of acquisition or sustainment 

programs expected to exceed $100 

million. This proposed rule modifies 

DFARS 242.503 to remove cost and 

software data reporting from postaward 

conference procedures, because the cost 

and software data reporting is a separate 

process.
