[Doc. No. AMS–DA–20–0060] 

National Dairy Promotion and 

Research Board Reapportionment; ReOpening of Comment Period 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing 

Service (AMS) is providing an 

additional 45 days for public comments 

on the proposed rule that would amend 

the Dairy Promotion and Research Order 

(Dairy Order). The proposed rule would 

modify the number of National Dairy 

Promotion and Research Board (Dairy 

Board) members in 2 of the 12 regions. 

The total number of domestic Dairy 

Board members would remain the same 

at 36. This modification was requested 

by the Dairy Board, which administers 

the Dairy Order, to better reflect the 

geographic distribution of milk 

production in the United States. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

proposed rule originally published on 

September 21, 2021, at 86 FR 52420, is 

reopened. Comments must be submitted 

on or before July 25, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments 

concerning this proposed rule. 

Comments may be submitted through 

the Federal e-rulemaking portal at 

https://www.regulations.gov or emailed 

to Whitney.Rick@usda.gov and should 

reference the document number AMS– 

DA–20–0060, the date of publication, 

and the page number of this issue of the 

Federal Register. All comments will be 

included in the official record and will 

be made available to the public. Please 

be advised that the identity of the 

individuals or entities submitting 

comments will be made public on the 

internet at the address provided above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1150.131(e) of the Dairy Order requires 

the Dairy Board to review the 

geographic distribution of milk 

production volume throughout the 

United States at least every five years 

and not more than every three years 

and, if warranted, shall recommend to 

the Secretary a reapportionment of the 

regions, in order to better reflect the 

geographic distribution of milk 

production volume in the United States. 

A proposed rule, published in the 

Federal Register on September 21, 2021 

(86 FR 52420), would increase Dairy 

Board Region 8 (Idaho) representation 

from 2 members to 3 members and 

would decrease Region 10 (Alabama, 

District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, 

Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North 

Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, 

Tennessee, and Virginia) representation 

from 2 members to 1 member. The total 

number of domestic Dairy Board 

members would remain the same at 36. 

USDA received a comment from the 

Dairy Board requesting an extension to 

the comment period, to allow additional 

time for the Dairy Board and other 

interested parties to fully analyze the 

proposed changes to the board 

membership. USDA also received 

comments from dairy farmers, a dairy 

industry organization, and the public 

expressing concern regarding the 

proposed decreased representation in 

Region 10. Therefore, AMS is reopening 

the comment period to encourage 

additional input on the proposed 

modifications to the number of National 

Dairy Promotion and Research Board 

(Dairy Board) members.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

2017–10–17, which applies to certain 

Airbus SAS Model A330–200; A330– 

200 Freighter; and A330–300 series 

airplanes. AD 2017–10–17 requires 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate new fuel airworthiness 

limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 

2017–10–17, the FAA has determined 

that new or more restrictive fuel 

airworthiness limitations and tasks are 

necessary. This proposed AD would 

continue to require the actions in AD 

2017–10–17 and require revising the 

existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

additional new or more restrictive fuel 

airworthiness limitations and tasks, as 

specified in a European Union Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is 

proposed for incorporation by reference. 

This proposed AD would also expand 

the applicability to include additional 

airplane models. The FAA is proposing 

this AD to address the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by July 25, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR

Background 

The FAA issued AD 2017–10–17, 

Amendment 39–18891 (82 FR 24017, 

May 25, 2017) (AD 2017–10–17), which 

applies to certain Airbus SAS Model 

A330–223F and –243F airplanes; Model 

A330–201, –202, –203, –223, and –243 

airplanes; Model A330–301, –302, –303, 

–321, –322, –323, –341, –342, and –343 

airplanes. AD 2017–10–17 requires 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

include new fuel airworthiness 

limitations. The FAA issued AD 2017– 

10–17 to address the potential of 

ignition sources inside fuel tanks, 

which, in combination with flammable 

fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank 

explosions and consequent loss of the 

airplane. 

Actions Since AD 2017–10–17 Was 

Issued 

Since the FAA issued AD 2017–10– 

17, the FAA has determined that new or 

more restrictive fuel airworthiness 

limitations and tasks are necessary. In 

addition, Model A330–841 and –941 

airplanes have been type certificated in 

the United States and added to the 

applicability of this proposed AD. 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA AD 2021–0252, 

dated November 17, 2021 (EASA AD 

2021–0252) (also referred to as the 

MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition 

for all Airbus SAS Model A330–223F 

and –243F airplanes; Model A330–201, 

–202, –203, –223, and –243 airplanes; 

Model A330–301, –302, –303, –321, 

–322, –323, –341, –342, and –343 

airplanes; A330–841 airplanes; and 

Model A330–941 airplanes. 

Airplanes with an original 

airworthiness certificate or original 

export certificate of airworthiness 

issued after July 1, 2021, must comply 

with the airworthiness limitations 

specified as part of the approved type 

design and referenced on the type 

certificate data sheet; this proposed AD 

therefore does not include those 

airplanes in the applicability. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

a determination that new or more 

restrictive fuel airworthiness limitations 

and tasks are necessary. The FAA is 

proposing this AD to address the 

potential of ignition sources inside fuel 

tanks, which, in combination with 

flammable fuel vapors, could result in 

fuel tank explosions and consequent 

loss of the airplane. See the MCAI for 

additional background information. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2021–0252 describes new 

or more restrictive fuel airworthiness 

limitations and tasks. 

This AD would also require Airbus 

A330 Airworthiness Limitations Section 

(ALS) Part 5—Fuel Airworthiness 

Limitations (FAL), Revision 01, dated 

October 28, 2015, which the Director of 

the Federal Register approved for 

incorporation by reference as of June 29, 

2017 (82 FR 24017, May 25, 2017). 

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 

These products have been approved 

by the aviation authority of another 

country and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with the State 

of Design Authority, it has notified the 

FAA of the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI and service information 

referenced above. The FAA is issuing 

this NPRM after determining that the 

unsafe condition described previously is 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 112 / Friday, June 10, 2022 / Proposed Rules 35467 

likely to exist or develop in other 

products of these same type designs. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would retain the 

requirements of AD 2017–10–17. This 

proposed AD would also require 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate new or more restrictive fuel 

airworthiness limitations and tasks, 

which are specified in EASA AD 2021– 

0252 described previously, as proposed 

for incorporation by reference. Any 

differences with EASA AD 2021–0252 

are identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this AD. 

This proposed AD would require 

revisions to certain operator 

maintenance documents to include new 

actions (e.g., inspections) and Critical 

Design Configuration Control 

Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance with 

these actions and CDCCLs is required by 

14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that 

have been previously modified, altered, 

or repaired in the areas addressed by 

this proposed AD, the operator may not 

be able to accomplish the actions 

described in the revisions. In this 

situation, to comply with 14 CFR 

91.403(c), the operator must request 

approval for an alternative method of 

compliance (AMOC) according to 

paragraph (l)(1) 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 

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 2021–0252 by 

reference in the FAA final rule. This 

proposed AD would, therefore, require 

compliance with EASA AD 2021–0252 

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 2021–0252 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 2021–0252. 

Service information required by EASA 

AD 2021–0252 for compliance will be 

available at https://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2022–0673 after the FAA final 

rule is published. 

Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using 

the New Process 

The FAA’s process of incorporating 

by reference MCAI ADs as the primary 

source of information for compliance 

with corresponding FAA ADs has been 

limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily 

those with service bulletins as the 

primary source of information for 

accomplishing the actions required by 

the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now 

expanding the process to include MCAI 

ADs that require a change to 

airworthiness limitation documents, 

such as airworthiness limitation 

sections. 

For these ADs that incorporate by 

reference an MCAI AD that changes 

airworthiness limitations, the FAA 

requirements are unchanged. Operators 

must revise the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate the information specified in 

the new airworthiness limitation 

document. The airworthiness 

limitations must be followed according 

to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e). 

The previous format of the 

airworthiness limitation ADs included a 

paragraph that specified that no 

alternative actions (e.g., inspections), 

intervals, or CDCCLs may be used 

unless the actions, intervals, and 

CDCCLs are approved as an AMOC in 

accordance with the procedures 

specified in the AMOCs paragraph 

under ‘‘Additional FAA Provisions.’’ 

This new format includes a ‘‘New 

Provisions for Alternative Actions, 

Intervals, and CDCCLs’’ paragraph that 

does not specifically refer to AMOCs, 

but operators may still request an 

AMOC to use an alternative action, 

interval, or CDCCL. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this proposed 

AD affects 138 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following costs 

to comply with this proposed AD: 

The FAA estimates the total cost per 

operator for the retained actions from 

AD 2017–10–17 to be $7,650 (90 workhours × $85 per work-hour). 

The FAA has determined that revising 

the existing maintenance or inspection 

program takes an average of 90 workhours per operator, although the agency 

recognizes that this number may vary 

from operator to operator. Since 

operators incorporate maintenance or 

inspection program changes for their 

affected fleet(s), the FAA has 

determined that a per-operator estimate 

is more accurate than a per-airplane 

estimate. 

The FAA estimates the total cost per 

operator for the new proposed actions to 

be $7,650 (90 work-hours × $85 per 

work-hour). 

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.
