SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On February 3, 1995, FSIS published

a proposed rule ‘‘Pathogen Reduction;

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control

Point (HACCP) Systems’’ (60 FR 6774).

In that document, the Agency proposed

a number of regulatory changes

applicable to Federal- and Stateinspected meat and poultry

establishments. The proposed changes

are designed to reduce the occurrence

and numbers of pathogenic

microorganisms in meat and poultry

products as well as control other

hazards, thereby reducing the incidence

of foodborne illness associated with the

consumption of these products.

On February 27, 1995, FSIS

announced a series of outreach activities

to assist the public in understanding the

proposed rule and in providing

comments on the proposed rule. As part

of this effort, FSIS hereby announces its

intent to hold an information briefing

and forum for oral comment about the

food safety proposal for owners and

representatives of small meat and

poultry establishments and other

affected small businesses. FSIS desires

to work closely with small

establishments because they provide a

significant amount of meat and poultry

products to consumers.

Agenda for the Briefing

The day will consist of two sessions.

The first session will run from 1:00 p.m.

to 4:00 p.m., and will consist of a

briefing by Agency officials and a

question and answer period. Attendees

will have an opportunity to submit

written questions about the proposal.

Questions will be answered by a panel

of FSIS subject matter experts, who will

be conducting the briefing.

The second session will run from 5:00

p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and will begin with

presentations by State agriculture and

inspection officials. After these

presentations, FSIS will accept oral

comments on the proposal from

attendees. Oral comments will be

limited to 5 minutes per commenter.

Mr. Thomas Billy, Associate

Administrator, FSIS, will be joined by a

panel consisting of: Richard Carnevale,

William James, Patricia Stolfa, and

Edward McEvoy, all of FSIS.

Transcripts of the second session will

be available for review in the FSIS

Discussion

The Federal Aviation Administration

(FAA) has received a report of a gas

generator turbine disk tenon failure on

an AlliedSignal Engines (formerly

Textron Lycoming) LTS 101 turboshaft

engine. The FAA investigation revealed

that the disk had sharp-edged grooves in

the disk blade slots created in the

broaching operations that occurred

during manufacturing. These grooves

significantly reduce the cyclic life of

disk tenons. This condition, if not

corrected, could result in total loss of

engine power, inflight engine shutdown,

and possible damage to the aircraft.

On October 28, 1994, AlliedSignal,

Inc. purchased the turbine engine

product line of Textron Lycoming.

The FAA has reviewed and approved

the technical contents of Textron

Lycoming Service Bulletin (SB) No. LT

101–72–50–0150, dated September 1,

1993, that describes procedures for

removal from service of suspect disks

for a one-time inspection of the disk

tenon area of the gas generator turbine

disk.

Since an unsafe condition has been

identified that is likely to exist or

develop on other products of this same

type design, the proposed AD would

require removal from service of suspect

disks for a one-time inspection of the

disk tenon area of the gas generator

turbine disk. The actions would be

required to be accomplished in

accordance with the service bulletin

described previously.

The FAA estimates that 618 engines

installed on aircraft of U.S. registry

would be affected by this proposed AD,

that it would take approximately 6.5

work hours per engine to accomplish

the proposed actions, and that the

average labor rate is $60 per work hour.

AlliedSignal Engines has advised that

they will supply disks or rotors on an

exchange basis at no cost to the

operator. Based on these figures, the

total cost impact of the proposed AD on

U.S. operators is estimated to be

$229,896.

The regulations proposed herein

would not have substantial direct effects

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. Therefore,

in accordance with Executive Order

12612, it is determined that this

proposal would not have sufficient

federalism implications to warrant the

preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

For the reasons discussed above, I

certify that this proposed regulation (1)

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and (3) if

promulgated, 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. A copy of the draft

regulatory evaluation prepared for this

action is contained in the Rules Docket.

A copy of it may be obtained by

contacting the Rules Docket at the

location provided under the caption

The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the Federal Aviation

Administration proposes to amend part

39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(14 CFR part 39) as follows:

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS

DIRECTIVES

1. The authority citation for part 39

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 49 U.S.C. App. 1354(a), 1421

and 1423; 49 U.S.C. 106(g); and 14 CFR

11.89.

§ 39.13 [Amended]

2. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding the following new airworthiness

directive:

AlliedSignal Engines: Docket No. 93–ANE–

64.

Applicability: AlliedSignal Engines

(formerly Textron Lycoming) LTS 101 series

turboshaft and LTP 101 series turboprop

engines installed on but not limited to

Aerospatiale AS 350 and SA366G, Bell 222,

and Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm (MBB)

BK117 helicopters; and Piaggio P166–DL3

and Airtractor AT302 airplanes.

Note: This AD applies to each engine

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

engines that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must use the authority

provided in paragraph (b) to request approval

from the FAA. This approval may address

either no action, if the current configuration

eliminates the unsafe condition, or different

actions necessary to address the unsafe

condition described in this AD. Such a

request should include an assessment of the

effect of the changed configuration on the

unsafe condition addressed by this AD. In no

case does the presence of any modification,

alteration, or repair remove any engine from

the applicability of this AD.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent total loss of engine power,

inflight engine shutdown, and possible

damage to the aircraft, accomplish the

following:

(a) Remove from service suspect disks and

perform a one-time inspection of the disk

tenon area of the gas generator turbine disk,

and replace, if necessary, with a serviceable

part, in accordance with Textron Lycoming

Service Bulletin (SB) No. LT 101–72–50–

0150, dated September 1, 1993, as follows:

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

provide additional controlled airspace

for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

procedures at the Nebraska City

Municipal Airport. The additional

airspace would segregate aircraft

operating under VFR conditions from

aircraft operating under IFR procedures.

The area would be depicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts thereby

enabling pilots to circumnavigate the

area or otherwise comply with IFR

procedures. Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth are

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9B, dated July 18, 1994, and

effective September 16, 1994, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

listed in this document would be

published subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

established body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current.

Therefore, this proposed regulation—(1)

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034; February 16, 1979); and (3)

does not warrant preparation of a

Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated

impact is so minimal. Since this is a

routine matter that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this proposed rule will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
