Bulletin 767–25A0260, dated July 9, 1998. 

Repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals 

not to exceed 6,000 flight hours or 18 

months, whichever occurs later. 

Note 1: Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767–

25A0260, dated July 9, 1998, allows 

repetitive inspections of a door latch having 

part number H2052–11 or H2052–115, 

provided that the latch is not worn or 

damaged. However, replacement of any latch 

having part number H2052–11 or H2052–115 

with a new latch having part number H2052–

13 is described as part of a modification of 

the escape slide compartment door latching 

mechanism that is specified in Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 767–25A0174, dated August 

15, 1991. Accomplishment of that 

modification is required by AD 92–16–17, 

amendment 39–8327, and AD 95–08–11, 

amendment 39–9200. Therefore, operators 

should note that any latch having part 

number H2052–11 or H2052–115 found 

during an inspection required by paragraph 

(f) of this AD is already required to be 

replaced in accordance with AD 92–16–17 or 

AD 95–08–11, as applicable. 

(g) Inspections and corrective actions 

accomplished prior to July 18, 2000, in 

accordance with the Validation Copy of 

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767–25A0260, 

dated April 28, 1998, are considered 

acceptable for compliance with the 

applicable action specified in this AD. 

Replacement 

(h) If any part is found to be worn or 

damaged during the inspections performed in 

accordance with paragraph (f) of this AD, 

prior to further flight, replace the worn or 

damaged part with a new part, and perform 

an adjustment of the off-wing escape slide 

system, in accordance with Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 767–25A0260, dated July 9, 

1998. 

New Optional Actions 

Compliance With Revisions 1 Through 3 of 

Referenced Service Bulletin 

(i) Inspections and applicable corrective 

actions done after the effective date of this 

AD in accordance with Boeing Service 

Bulletin 767–25A0260, Revision 1, dated 

January 25, 2001; Revision 2, dated August 

26, 2004; or Revision 3, dated July 7, 2005; 

are acceptable for compliance with the 

corresponding requirements of this AD.

(AMOCs) 

(j) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office, FAA, has the authority to 

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested in

of the airport. The FAA is proposing 

this action to provide additional 

controlled airspace for aircraft 

instrument operations at the Deering 

Airport.

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to modify the Norton 

Sound Low airspace area, AK by 

55326 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 182 / Wednesday, September 21, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

lowering the floor to 1,200 feet MSL 

within a 45 NM radius of Deering 

Airport, AK. The purpose of this 

proposal is to establish controlled 

airspace to support instrument flight 

rules operations at Deering Airport, AK. 

The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures 

Production and Maintenance Branch 

has developed four new instrument 

approach procedures for the Deering 

Airport. New controlled airspace 

extending upward from 1,200 feet MSL 

above the surface in international 

airspace would be created by this 

action. The proposed airspace is 

sufficient to support instrument 

operations at the Deering airport. 

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 Department of 

Transportation (DOT) Regulatory 

Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; 

February 26, 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, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

ICAO Considerations 

As part of this proposal relates to 

navigable airspace outside the United 

States, this notice is submitted in 

accordance with the International Civil 

Aviation Organization (ICAO) 

International Standards and 

Recommended Practices. 

The application of International 

Standards and Recommended Practices 

by the FAA, Office of System 

Operations Airspace and AIM, Airspace 

& Rules, in areas outside the United 

States domestic airspace, is governed by 

the Convention on International Civil 

Aviation. Specifically, the FAA is 

governed by Article 12 and Annex 11, 

which pertain to the establishment of 

necessary air navigational facilities and 

services to promote the safe, orderly, 

and expeditious flow of civil air traffic. 

The purpose of Article 12 and Annex 11 

is to ensure that civil aircraft operations 

on international air routes are 

performed under uniform conditions. 

The International Standards and 

Recommended Practices in Annex 11 

apply to airspace under the jurisdiction 

of a contracting state, derived from 

ICAO. Annex 11 provisions apply when 

air traffic services are provided and a 

contracting state accepts the 

responsibility of providing air traffic 

services over high seas or in airspace of 

undetermined sovereignty. A 

contracting state accepting this 

responsibility may apply the 

International Standards and 

Recommended Practices that are 

consistent with standards and practices 

utilized in its domestic jurisdiction. 

In accordance with Article 3 of the 

Convention, state-owned aircraft are 

exempt from the Standards and 

Recommended Practices of Annex 11. 

The United States is a contracting state 

to the Convention. Article 3(d) of the 

Convention provides that participating 

state aircraft will be operated in 

international airspace with due regard 

for the safety of civil aircraft. Since this 

action involves, in part, the designation 

of navigable airspace outside the United 

States, the Administrator is consulting 

with the Secretary of State and the 

Secretary of Defense in accordance with 

the provisions of Executive Order 

10854.

C8, C10, and C12 Straight-Chain Fatty 

Acid Monoesters of Glycerol and 

Propylene Glycol; Amendment to 

Tolerance Exemption 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This document proposes to 

amend an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of the C8, C10, and C12 straight- chain 

fatty acid monoesters of glycerol and 

propylene glycol on all food 

commodities when applied/used for 

both pre-harvest and post-harvest 

purposes. On June 23, 2004, EPA 

established an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for these 

residues but did not expressly approve 

post-harvest uses in accordance with 40 

CFR 180.1(i). Therefore, EPA is 

proposing this regulation, to amend the 

existing tolerance exemption to allow 

for post-harvest uses of C8, C10, and 

C12 straight-chain fatty acid monoesters 

of glycerol and propylene glycol in 

accordance with section 408(e) of the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FFDCA) as amended by the Food 

Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA).
