[Docket No. APHIS–2010–0089] 

Plum Pox Virus; Update of 

Quarantined Areas 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting as a final 

rule, with one change, an interim rule 

that amended the plum pox virus (PPV) 

regulations by removing portions of 

Adams County, PA, from the list of 

quarantined areas and by adding 

portions of Niagara, Orleans, and Wayne 

Counties, NY, to the list of quarantined 

areas and restricted the interstate 

movement of regulated articles from 

these quarantined areas. The interim 

rule was necessary to prevent the spread 

of PPV from the quarantined areas of 

New York to uninfected areas of the 

United States and to relieve restrictions 

in Pennsylvania that are no longer 

necessary. 

DATES: Effective Date: May 11, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The plum pox virus (PPV) is an 

extremely serious viral disease of plants 

that can affect many Prunus (stone fruit) 

species, including plum, peach, apricot, 

almond, nectarine, and sweet and tart 

cherry. Infection eventually results in 

severely reduced fruit production, and 

the fruit that is produced is often 

misshapen and blemished. PPV is 

transmitted under natural conditions by 

several species of aphids. The longdistance spread of PPV occurs by 

budding and grafting with infected plant 

material and through movement of farm 

tools, equipment, and infected 

budwood, nursery stock, and other plant 

parts. 

The regulations in ‘‘Subpart—Plum 

Pox’’ (7 CFR 301.74 through 301.74–5, 

referred to below as the regulations) 

quarantine areas of the United States 

where PPV has been detected and 

restrict the interstate movement of 

regulated articles from quarantined 

areas to prevent the spread of PPV into 

uninfected areas of the United States. 

In an interim rule 1 that became 

effective upon publication in the 

Federal Register on December 27, 2010 

(75 FR 81087–81089, Docket No. 

APHIS–2010–0089), we amended the 

regulations by adding portions of 

Niagara, Orleans, and Wayne Counties, 

NY, to the list of quarantined areas and 

removing the townships of Latimore and 

Huntington in Adams County, PA, from 

that list. 

Comments on the interim rule were 

required to be received on or before 

February 25, 2011. We did not receive 

any comments by that date. 

In the interim rule, we incorrectly 

described one of the borders of the 

quarantined area in the Town of Sodus 

in Wayne County. Therefore, in this 

final rule, we are amending § 301.74– 

3(c), under New York for the entry 

Wayne County, paragraph (3), to correct 

the description of that quarantined area. 

Therefore, for the reasons given in the 

interim rule and this document, we are 

adopting the interim rule as a final rule, 

with the change discussed in this 

document. 

This final rule also affirms the 

information contained in the interim 

rule concerning Executive Order 12866 

and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 

Executive Orders 12372 and 12988, and 

the Paperwork Reduction Act. 

Further, for this action, the Office of 

Management and Budget has waived its 

review under Executive Order 12866. 

Effective Date 

Pursuant to the administrative 

procedure provisions in 5 U.S.C. 553, 

we find good cause for making this rule 

effective less than 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register. The 

interim rule adopted as final by this rule 

became effective on December 27, 2010. 

This rule corrects the description of the 

quarantined area in the interim rule. 

Immediate action is necessary to ensure 

that the description of the quarantined 

area is accurate in order to prevent the 

artificial spread of PPV to uninfected 

areas of the United States. Therefore, the 

Administrator of the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service has 

determined that this rule should be 

effective upon publication in the 

Federal Register.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD results 

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCA I) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

DGAC [Direction Ge ́ne ́rale de l’Aviation 

Civile] France Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

1992–106–132(B) * * * was issued to 

require a set of inspection- and modification 

tasks which addressed JAR/FAR [Joint 

Aviation Regulation/Federal Aviation 

Regulation] 25–571 requirements related to 

damage-tolerance and fatigue evaluation of 

structure. 

* * * * * 

The unsafe condition is reduced 

structural integrity of the wings. We are 

issuing this AD to require actions to 

correct the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective June 

15, 2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of June 15, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on January 3, 2011 (76 FR 34). 

That NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

DGAC [Direction Ge ́ne ́rale de l’Aviation 

Civile] France Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

1992–106–132(B) original issue up to 

revision 7 was issued to require a set of 

inspection- and modification tasks which 

addressed JAR/FAR [Joint Aviation 

Regulation/Federal Aviation Regulation] 25– 

571 requirements related to damage-tolerance 

and fatigue evaluation of structure [FAA AD 

98–26–01 corresponds to DGAC AD 1992– 

106–132(B)R4, dated June 5, 1996]. 

Following the Extended Design Service 

Goal activities as part of the Structure Task 

Group for the Airbus A310 program, EASA 

issued AD 2007–0053 which replaced DGAC 

France AD F–1992–106–132R7. Since the 

issuance of that AD, the thresholds and the 

intervals of some Airbus Service Bulletins 

(SBs which address structure fatigue related 

areas on the wing parts), until now part of 

the requirements of AD 2007–0053, have 

been updated. 

For the reasons stated above, this new 

[EASA] AD requires the accomplishment of 

the structural fatigue-related corrective 

actions in accordance with the latest revision 

of these SBs which have been reviewed in 

the context of the A310 Extended Service 

Goal activities. Consequently, this new AD 

supersedes the requirements of paragraphs 

1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.13, 1.18 of EASA AD 2007– 

0053, which has been revised accordingly. 

The unsafe condition is reduced 

structural integrity of the wings. The 

required corrective actions are as 

follows, depending on airplane 

configuration: 

• For certain Model A310–203 and 

A310–222 airplanes: Repetitive detailed 

inspections for cracking of the leading 

edge access panels around the bolt 

holes, and repair if necessary. 

• For certain Model A310–203, 

A310–204, A310–222, A310–304, A310– 

322, A310–324, and A310–325 

airplanes: Repetitive eddy current 

inspections to detect cracks in the holes 

around the overwing refueling aperture 

at ribs 13–14, and repair if necessary. 

• For certain Model A310–203, 

A310–204, A310–222, A310–304, A310– 

322, A310–324, and A310–325 

airplanes: Repetitive external detailed 

inspections for cracking of the top skin 

at ribs 13–14, repetitive internal 

detailed inspections for cracking of 

stringer 7 and stringer 8 of the overwing 

refuel aperture, and repair if necessary. 

• For certain Model A310–203 and 

A310–222 airplanes: Repetitive detailed 

inspections for cracking around the 

bolts in the wing top skin upper surface 

of the front spar between rib 7 and rib 

28, and repair if necessary. 

• For certain Model A310–203 and 

A310–222 airplanes: Repetitive high 

frequency eddy current (HFEC) or X-ray 

inspections to detect cracking of the 

stringer runouts inboard and outboard 

of rib 14 at stringers 6, 7, 8, and 9, and 

repair if necessary. 

• For certain Model A310–203, 

A310–204, A310–222, A310–304, A310– 

322, and A310–324 airplanes: Repetitive 

ultrasonic inspections for cracking in 

certain bolt holes where the main 

landing gear forward pick-up fitting is 

attached to the rear spar, and repair if 

necessary. 

You may obtain further information 

by examining the MCAI in the AD 

docket. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM or 

on the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Explanation of Changes to This AD 

We have moved the parenthetical 

information from paragraphs (g), (i), (j), 

(o), and (q)(1), (q)(2), and (q)(3) of this 

AD. Instead, we have provided that 

information in Note 1, Note 3, Note 4, 

Note 6, and Note 8 of this AD. 

We have also revised tables 3 and 4 

of this AD to refer to Model ‘‘A310–322’’ 

instead of ‘‘A310A–322.’’ We 

inadvertently referred to ‘‘A310A–322’’ 

in the NPRM. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the changes described previously. 

We determined that these change will 

not increase the economic burden on 

any operator or increase the scope of the 

AD. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But
