and information.

Interested parties are also invited to

beneficial to hold a public meeting

during an ensuing comment period to

discuss the proposals.

DATES: Proposals must be received by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Sheep

Promotion, Research, and Information

Act, enacted on October 22, 1994,

authorizes the establishment of a

national sheep and wool promotion,

research, education, and information

program financed through assessments

on both domestic and imported sheep

and sheep products, including exports

of live sheep and greasy wool. The

nationwide program will be

administered by the National Sheep

Promotion, Research, and Information

Board, composed of 120 members,

including 85 producers, 10 feeders and

25 importers, who will be appointed by

the Secretary of Agriculture to represent

units. The term units means each State,

group of States, or class designation that

is represented on the Board.

To establish the initial Board, the

Secretary will solicit nominations from

eligible producer, feeder, and importer

organizations. Organizations that

represent the producer segment of the

industry must meet certain criteria in

order to be certified to submit

nominations for that industry segment.

If no producer organization is certified

to submit nominations for a State unit,

or if no feeder or importer organization

is eligible to submit nominations for

those industry segments, then the

Secretary shall use other means to

secure nominations for appointment to

the Board.

Funds will be collected by assessing

domestic producers, feeders, and

exporters 1 cent per pound of live sheep

sold and 2 cents per pound of greasy

wool sold. Importers will be assessed:

(1) 1 cent per pound of live sheep

imported; (2) the equivalent of 1 cent

per pound of live sheep for sheep

products imported; and (3) 2 cents per

pound of degreased wool or the

equivalent of degreased wool for wool

and wool products imported. Imported

raw wool is exempt from assessments.

All assessment rates may be adjusted in

accordance with applicable provisions

of the Act.

Because the Act permits an

association of producers to request the

issuance of an order and to submit a

proposal, the Department of Agriculture

will receive written proposals for a

sheep and wool promotion, research,

education, and information order, or for

various provisions thereof. Proposals

must be submitted in duplicate to the

Marketing Programs Branch, Livestock

and Seed Division; AMS, USDA, Room

2624–S; P.O. Box 96456, Washington,

D.C. 20090–6456, and must be received

in the Department by February 3, 1995.

Proposals should include: (1) the

proposed order language; (2) a

description of the proposed order

provisions; (3) an explanation of the

nature and purpose of the proposed

order provisions; (4) references to the

section of the Sheep Promotion,

Research, and Information Act that

would be implemented by an order

provision; and (5) any other pertinent

information concerning a proposal that

would assist in the process of

implementing the Act.

The Department will only publish for

public comment in the Federal Register

proposals that are consistent with the

Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: .

Executive Order 12866

This proposed rule has been

determined to be significant and was

reviewed by OMB under Executive

Order 12866.

Federal Assistance Program

The title and number of the Federal

Assistance Program, as found in the

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance,

to which this rule applies, are

Commodity Loans and Purchases—

10.051.

Executive Order 12778

This rule has been reviewed in

accordance with Executive Order 12778.

The provisions of this rule do not

preempt Sate law, are not retroactive,

and do not involve administrative

appeals.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

It has been determined that the

Regulatory Flexibility Act is not

applicable because CCC is not required

by 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other provision

of law to publish a notice of proposed

rulemaking with respect to the subject

of these determinations.

Paperwork Reduction Act

The amendments to 7 CFR part 1421

set forth in this proposed rule do not

contain information collections that

require clearance by the Office of

Management and Budget under the

provisions of 44 U.S.C. chapter 35.

Discussion

This proposed rule would amend 7

CFR part 1421 to set forth the minimum

CCC sales price for the 1995 crop of
382 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 2 / Wednesday, January 4, 1995 / Proposed Rules

additional peanuts sold for export

edible use.

A minimum price, at which

additional peanuts owned or controlled

by CCC may be sold for use as edible

peanuts in export markets, is expected

to be announced on or before February

15, 1995, at the same time that the quota

and additional peanut support levels for

the 1995 crop are announced. The

announcement of the price provides

producers and handlers with

information to facilitate the negotiation

of private contracts for the sale of

additional peanuts.

An overly high price may create an

unrealistic expectation of high pool

dividends and discourage private sales.

If too low, the minimum price could

have an unnecessary, adverse effect on

prices paid to producers for additional

peanuts.

It is proposed that the minimum price

at which the 1995 crop of additional

peanuts owned or controlled by CCC

may be sold for use as edible peanuts in

export markets be established at $400

per st, the same as for the 1994 crop.

This level will maintain exports while

providing price stability for additional

peanuts sold under contract. It will also

assure handlers that CCC will not

undercut their export contracting efforts

with offerings of additional peanuts for

export edible sale below the minimum

sales price.

Accordingly, comments are requested

with respect to these foregoing issues.

List of Subjects 7 CFR Part 1421

Grains, Loan programs—agriculture,

Oilseeds, Peanuts, Price support

programs, Reporting and recordkeeping

requirements, Soybeans, Surety bonds,

Warehouses.

Accordingly, it is proposed that 7 CFR

part 1421 be amended as follows:

HANDLED COMMODITIES

part 1421 continues to read as follows:

[Docket No. 94–ANE–31]

Airworthiness Directives; Aerospace

Lighting Corporation Power Units and

Power Supplies

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: This document proposes the

supersedure of an existing airworthiness

directive (AD), applicable to certain

Aerospace Lighting Corporation (ALC)

lamp connectors and fluorescent lamps,

that currently requires an inspection,

and adjustment or replacement of

improperly installed, damaged, or

improperly configured lamp connectors

and fluorescent lamps used in cabin

fluorescent lighting systems. This action

would add an optional replacement of

certain power units and power supplies

with improved design parts as

terminating action to the repetitive

inspections. This proposal is prompted

by the availability of improved design

components. The actions specified by

the proposed AD are intended to

prevent smoke, fire, electrical shock,

and possible electromagnetic

interference caused by high voltage

arcing in the cabin which, if undetected,

could result in personal hazard or loss

of the aircraft.

DATES: Comments must be received by

March 6, 1995.

triplicate to the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), New England
