we may defer the claim only if you agree to continue to care for the crop. We will then make another appraisal when you notify us of further damage or that harvest is general in the area unless you harvested the crop, in which case we will use the harvested production. If you do not continue to care for the crop, our appraisal made prior to deferring the claim will be used to determine the production to count; and (2) All harvested production from the insurable acreage. (d) Any citrus fruit that is not marketed as fresh fruit and, due to insurable causes, does not contain 120 or more gallons of juice per ton, will be adjusted by: (1) Dividing the gallons of juice per ton obtained from the damaged citrus by 120; and (2) multiplying the result by the number of tons of such citrus. If individual records of juice content are not available, an average juice content from the nearest juice plant will be used, if available. If not available, a field appraisal will be made to determine the average juice
content. (e) Where the actuarial table provides for, and you elect, the fresh fruit option, citrus fruit that is not marketable as fresh fruit due to insurable causes will be adjusted by: (1) Dividing the value per ton of the damaged citrus by the price of undamaged citrus fruit; and (2) Multiplying the result by the number of tons of such citrus fruit, The applicable price for undamaged citrus fruit will be the local market price the week before damage occurred. (f) Any production will be considered marketed or marketable as fresh fruit unless, due solely to insured causes, such production was not marketed as fresh fruit. (g) In the absence of acceptable records of disposition of harvested citrus fruit, the disposition and amount of production to count for the unit will be the guarantee on the unit. (h) Any citrus fruit on the ground that is not harvested will be considered totally lost if damaged by an insured cause. 13. Written Agreements Designated terms of this policy may be altered by written agreement. The following conditions will apply: (a) You must apply in writing for each written agreement no later than the sales closing date, except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section. (b) The application for written agreement must contain all terms of the contract between you and us that will be in effect if the written agreement is not approved. (c) If approved, the written agreement will include all variable terms of the contract, including, but not limited to, crop type or variety, the guarantee, premium rate, and price election. (d) Each written agreement will only be valid for 1 year. If the written agreement is not specifically renewed the following year, insurance coverage for subsequent crop years will be in accordance with the printed policy. (e) An application for written agreement submitted after the sales closing date may be approved if, after a physical inspection of the acreage, it is determined that no loss has occurred and the crop is insurable in accordance with the policy and written agreement provisions.

Airworthiness Directives ; Allied Signal Commercial Avionics Systems CAS-81 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS) as Installed In, But Not Limited To, Various Transport Category Airplanes

AGENCY : Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION : Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

SUMMARY : This document proposes to revise an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to various transport category airplanes equipped with Allied Signal Commercial Avionics Systems CAS-81 TCAS. That AD currently requires a revision to the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to provide the flightcrew with procedures to cycle power to the TCAS processor via the circuit breaker or power bus, and to perform a TCAS functional test to verify proper operation of the TCAS. That action was prompted by reports offailure of the audio output of the CAS81 TCAS. The actions specified by that AD are intended to ensure that the flightcrew is advised of the potential hazard associated with failure of the audio output of the CAS-81 TCAS, and of the procedures necessary to address it. This action would add a revision of the AFM requirements that would provide an alternative method of compliance with the currently required AFM revision; and would provide for a modification to the TCAS processor, which, if accomplished, terminates the requirements of the AD. DATES : Comments must be received by July 15, 1996.

ADDRESSES : Submit comments in triplicate to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transport Airplane Directorate, ANM-103,Attention: Rules Docket No. 96-NM81-AD, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055-4056. Comments may be inspected at this location between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

Discussion On January 22, 1996, the FAA issued AD 95-26-15, amendment 39-9495 (61 FR 2699, January 29, 1996), applicable to various transport category airplanes equipped with Allied Signal Commercial Avionics Systems CAS-81 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS). That AD requires a revision to the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to provide the flightcrew with procedures to cycle power to the TCAS processor via the circuit breaker or power bus, and to perform a TCAS functional test to verify proper operation of the TCAS. That action was prompted by reports offailure of the audio output of the CAS81 TCAS. The requirements of that AD are intended to ensure that the flightcrew is advised of the potential hazard associated with failure of the audio output of the CAS-81 TCAS, and of the procedures necessary to address it.
Explanation of New Service Information
Since the issuance of that AD, AlliedSignal has issued Service Bulletin TPA8lA-34-82, dated January 1996, which describes procedures for a modification (Unit Mod 13) of the TPA-81A TCAS processor receiver. This modification adds two 100k ohm resistors to circuitry on the voice synthesizer module (VSM) to provide a direct current (DC) return for the Op-Amp. Additionally, the modification adds four diodes to the ADV. INHIBIT #1, #2, #3, and #4 lines (advisory inhibit) at connector P3011 for isolation. This modification will eliminate audio noise and prevent a lack of AUDIO alert due to the absence of a return path to ground in an alternate current (AC) coupled filter in the VSM. The modification also will eliminate the need to isolate diodes of the advisory inhibit lines in certain configurations. Allied Signal also issued Service Bulletin TPA-81A-34-84, dated January 1996, which describesprocedures for modification of the TPA81A TCAS processor receiver. The modification involves redesignating (rolling) the part numbers of processors modified to Unit Mod 13. This modification will prevent failure of the

Discussion

OnJanuary 22, 1996, the FAA issued AD 95-26-15, amendment 39-9495 (61 FR 2699, January 29, 1996), applicable
to various transport category airplanes equipped withAllied Signal Commercial Avionics Systems CAS-81 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS). That AD reqUires a revision to the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to provide the flightcrew with procedures to cycle
power to the TCAS processorvia the circuit breaker orpowerbus, and to perform a TCAS functional test to verify
proper operation ofthe TCAS. That action was prompted by reports of failure ofthe audio output ofthe CAS81 TCAS. The requirements ofthatAD

are intended to ensure that the flightcrew is advised ofthe potential hazard associated with failure ofthe audio output ofthe CAS-81 TCAS, and ofthe procedures necessary to address it. Explanation ofNew Service Information

Since the issuance ofthatAD, Allied Signal has issued Service Bulletin TPA81A-34-82, datedJanuary 1996, which describes procedures for a modification (Unit Mod 13) ofthe TPA-81A TCAS
processor receiver. This modification adds two lOOk ohm resistors to circuitry

on the voice syntheSizer module (VSM)
to provide a direct current (DC) return for the Op-Amp. Additionally, the modification adds four diodes to the ADV. INHIBIT #1, #2, #3, and #4 lines (advisory inhibit) at connector P3011 for isolation. This modification will eliminate audio noise and prevent a lack ofAUDIO alert due to the absence ofa return path to ground in an alternate
current (AC) coupled filter in the VSM. The modification also will eliminate the need to isolate diodes ofthe advisory inhibit lines in certain configurations.

Allied Signal also issued Service BulletinTPA-81A-34-84, dated January 1996, which describes procedures for modification ofthe TPA81A TCAS processorreceiver. The modification involves redesignating (rolling) the part numbers ofprocessors modified to Unit Mod 13. This modification will prevent failure ofthe
