AGENCY: Farm Credit Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of effective date. 

SUMMARY: The Farm Credit 

Administration (FCA) published a final 

rule under part 615 on August 31, 2005 

(70 FR 51586). This final rule amends 

our liquidity reserve requirements for 

the banks of the Farm Credit System to 

ensure the banks have adequate 

liquidity. The final rule increases the 

minimum liquidity reserve requirement 

to 90 days, increases the eligible 

investment limit to 35 percent of total 

outstanding loans and requires Farm 

Credit banks to develop and maintain 

liquidity contingency plans. These 

amended requirements will improve the 

ability of Farm Credit banks to supply 

agricultural credit in all economic 

situations. In accordance with 12 U.S.C. 

2252, the effective date of the final rule 

is 30 days from the date of publication 

in the Federal Register during which 

either or both Houses of Congress are in 

session. Based on the records of the 

sessions of Congress, the effective date 

of the regulation is October 24, 2005. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: The regulation 

amending 12 CFR part 615 published on 

August 31, 2005 (70 FR 51586) is 

effective October 24, 2005.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model 

A320–111 Airplanes, and Model A320–

200 Series Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a 

new airworthiness directive (AD), 

applicable to certain Airbus Model 

A320–111 airplanes, and Model A320–

200 series airplanes, that requires a 

detailed inspection of the tail cone 

triangle to determine its position, and 

corrective actions if necessary. This 

action is necessary to prevent excessive 

vibrations of the elevators, which could 

result in reduced structural integrity 

and reduced controllability of the 

airplane. This action is intended to 

address the identified unsafe condition. 

DATES: Effective December 5, 2005. 

The incorporation by reference of a 

certain publication listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of December 

5, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: The service information 

referenced in this AD may be obtained 

from Airbus, 1 Rond Point Maurice 

Bellonte, 31707 Blagnac Cedex, France. 

This information may be examined at 

the Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA), Transport Airplane Directorate,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A 

proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to 

include an airworthiness directive (AD) 

that is applicable to certain Airbus 

Model A320 series airplanes was 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 18, 2004 (69 FR 34094). That action 

proposed to require a detailed 

inspection of the tail cone triangle to 

determine its position, and corrective 

actions if necessary. 

Comments 

Interested persons have been afforded 

an opportunity to participate in the 

making of this amendment. Due 

consideration has been given to the 

comments received. 

Support for the AD 

Three commenters support the 

proposed AD. 

Request To Reference Airplane 

Maintenance Manual (AMM) Task 

One commenter requests that we refer 

to AMM Task 27–34–00–820–003 as the 

appropriate source of service 

information for rigging the elevators. 

The commenter explains that this task, 

and its associated tool, rigs the elevator 

neutral setting to 0.5 degree nose-up in 

accordance with AD 2001–16–09, 

amendment 39–12377 (66 FR 43471, 

August 20, 2001). The commenter does 

not promote the use of the tail cone 

triangles because they are considered for 

reference only. The commenter believes 

that mandating the position of the tail 

cone reference triangle will have little 

effect in ensuring the proper rigging of 

the elevator. The commenter further 

stresses that if it is absolutely necessary 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 209 / Monday, October 31, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 62233 

to mandate the rigging of the elevators, 

then the rigging should be mandated in 

accordance with AMM Task 27–34–00–

820–003, rather than with Airbus 

Service Bulletin A320–27–1132, 

Revision 01, dated June 19, 2002, which 

was referenced in the proposed AD as 

the appropriate source of service 

information for accomplishing the 

required actions. 

We infer that the commenter is 

requesting that we either withdraw the 

proposed AD or mandate rigging the 

elevators in accordance with Airbus 

A320 AMM Task 27–34–00–820–003, 

rather than inspecting for the position of 

the tail cone triangles in accordance 

with the service bulletin. We do not 

agree with the request to withdraw the 

proposed AD or with the request to 

require rigging the elevators in 

accordance with Airbus A320 AMM 

Task 27–34–00–820–003 rather than 

inspecting for the position of the tail 

cone triangles in accordance with the 

service bulletin. The service bulletin 

already requires rigging the elevators in 

accordance with A320 AMM Task 27–

34–00–820–003 if the tail cone triangles 

are not in the correct position. However, 

in order to address the possibility that 

an operator may use AMM Task 27–34–

00–820–001 or 27–34–00–820–002, for 

rigging the elevator using the tail cone 

triangle, we must ensure that the 

triangles are in the proper position. As 

stated in the proposed AD, the tail cone 

triangles were not installed properly on 

certain airplanes during production, 

which could result in mis-rigged 

elevator servo-controls. Mis-rigged 

elevator servo controls could result in 

low hinge moments, and possible 

vibrations if combined with elevator 

freeplay. The removal of the tail cone 

triangles, along with the removal of the 

AMM tasks that refer to the tail cone 

triangles may be acceptable as an 

alternative method of compliance 

(AMOC) with the AD. Paragraph (d) of 

the final rule provides for operators’

requests for approval of AMOCs. No 

change to the final rule is necessary. 

Request To Give Credit for Earlier 

Revision of Service Bulletin 

Another commenter requests that we 

change the proposed AD to clarify 

whether or not actions accomplished 

before the effective date of the proposed 

AD in accordance with the original 

issue of Airbus Service Bulletin A320–

27–1132, dated March 14, 2001, are 

acceptable for compliance with the 

proposed actions. (Airbus Service 

Bulletin A320–27–1132, Revision 01, 

dated June 19, 2002, was referenced as 

the appropriate source of service 

information for accomplishing the 

proposed actions). The commenter 

points out that Revision 01 of the 

service bulletin states ‘‘No additional 

work is required by this revision for 

aircraft modified by any previous 

issue.’’

We agree with the commenter. The 

existing paragraph (b) in the proposed 

AD gives credit to operators that have 

accomplished the actions in accordance 

with the original issue of the service 

bulletin. No change to the final rule is 

necessary. 

Explanation of Changes to Applicability 

We have revised the applicability of 

the AD to identify the model 

designations as published in the most 

recent type certificate data sheet for the 

affected model. 

Clarification of AMOC Paragraph 

We have revised this action to clarify 

the appropriate procedure for notifying 

the principal inspector before using any 

approved AMOC on any airplane to 

which the AMOC applies. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the available 

data, including the comments noted 

above, the FAA has determined that air 

safety and the public interest require the 

adoption of the rule with the changes 

described previously. The FAA has 

determined that these changes will 

neither increase the economic burden 

on any operator nor increase the scope 

of the AD. 

Changes to 14 CFR Part 39/Effect on the 

AD 

On July 10, 2002, the FAA issued a 

new version of 14 CFR part 39 (67 FR 

47997, July 22, 2002), which governs the 

FAA’s airworthiness directives system. 

The regulation now includes material 

that relates to altered products, special 

flight permits, and alternative methods 

of compliance. However, for clarity and 

consistency in this final rule, we have 

retained the language of the NPRM 

regarding that material. 

Cost Impact 

We estimate that 64 airplanes of U.S. 

registry will be affected by this AD, that 

it will take approximately 1 work hour 

per airplane to accomplish the 

inspection, and that the average labor 

rate is $65 per work hour. Based on 

these figures, the cost impact of this AD 

on U.S. operators is estimated to be 

$4,160, or $65 per airplane. 

The cost impact figure discussed 

above is based on assumptions that no 

operator has yet accomplished any of 

the requirements of this AD action, and 

that no operator would accomplish 

those actions in the future if this AD 

were not adopted. The cost impact 

figures discussed in AD rulemaking 

actions represent only the time 

necessary to perform the specific actions 

actually required by the AD. These 

figures typically do not include 

incidental costs, such as the time 

required to gain access and close up, 

planning time, or time necessitated by 

other administrative actions. 

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. 

We are 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 Impact 

The regulations adopted herein will 

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. Therefore, it is 

determined that this final rule does not 

have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this action (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 26, 1979); and (3) 

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 final evaluation has 

been prepared for this action and it is 

contained in the Rules Docket. A copy 

of it may be obtained from the Rules 

Docket at the location provided under 

the caption ADDRESSES.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Friday July 1, 2005, the FAA 

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 to 

modify Class E airspace at Madison, IN 

(70 FR 38056). The proposal was to 

modify controlled airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet or more above the 

surface of the earth to contain 

Instrument Flight Rules operations in 

controlled airspace during portions of 

the terminal operation and while 

transiting between the enroute and 

terminal environments. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments objecting to the proposal 

were received. 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 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005, 

and effective September 16, 2005, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

modifies Class E airspace at Madison, 

IN, to accommodate aircraft executing 

instrument flight procedures into and 

out of Madison Municipal Airport. The 

area will be depicted on appropriate 

aeronautical charts. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation—(1) 

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT
