Trade Area Agreement (‘‘the 

Agreement’’) even if shipped to the 

United States from the West Bank, the 

Gaza Strip, or a qualifying industrial 

zone, if the articles otherwise meet the 

requirements of the Agreement; and (c) 

to provide that the cost or value of 

materials produced in the West Bank, 

the Gaza Strip, or a qualifying industrial 

zone may be included in the cost or 

value of materials produced in Israel 

under section 1(c)(i) of Annex 3 of the 

Agreement and that the direct costs of 

processing operations performed in the 

West Bank, the Gaza Strip, or a 

qualifying industrial zone may be 

included in the direct costs of 

processing operations performed in 

Israel under section 1(c)(ii) of Annex 3 

of the Agreement. 

Section 9(e) of the IFTA Act defines 

a ‘‘qualifying industrial zone’’ as an area 

that ‘‘(1) encompasses portions of the 

territory of Israel and Jordan or Israel 

and Egypt; (2) has been designated by 

local authorities as an enclave where 

merchandise may enter without 

payment of duty or excise taxes; and (3) 

has been specified by the President as 

a qualifying industrial zone.’’

Presidential Proclamation 6955 

delegated to the United States Trade 

Representative the authority to 

designate qualifying industrial zones. 

The United States Trade 

Representative has previously 

designated qualifying industrial zones 

under Section 9 of the IFTA Act on 

March 13, 1998 (63 FR 12572), March 

19, 1999 (64 FR 13623), October 15, 

1999 (64 FR 56015), October 24, 2000 

(65 FR 64472), December 12, 2000 (65 

FR 77688), June 15, 2001 (66 FR 32660), 

January 28, 2004 (69 FR 4199) , and 

December 29, 2004 (69 FR 78094). 

The governments of Israel and Egypt 

jointly requested in a letter submitted to 

the United States Trade Representative 

on August 24, 2005, the designation as 

a qualifying industrial zone of areas 

comprising the Central Delta zone, as 

well as the expansion of the already 

designated Greater Cairo and Suez Canal 

qualified industrial zones. The names 

and locations of the factories comprising 

the Central Delta zone and the expanded 

areas of the Greater Cairo zone and Suez 

Canal zone are specified on maps and 

materials submitted by Egypt and Israel 

and on file with the Office of the U.S. 

Trade Representative. Israel and Egypt 

have agreed that merchandise may 

enter, without payment of duty or excise 

taxes, areas under their respective 

customs control that comprise the 

Central Delta zone, Greater Cairo zone 

and Suez Canal zone. Further, the 

operation and administration of these 

zones are provided for in the previously 

agreed ‘‘Protocol between the 

Government of the State of Israel and 

the Government of the Arab Republic of 

Egypt On Qualifying Industrial Zones.’’

Accordingly, the Central Delta zone, 

Greater Cairo zone and Suez Canal zone 

meet the criteria under sections 9(e)(1) 

and (2) of the IFTA Act. 

Therefore, pursuant to the authority 

delegated to me by Presidential 

Proclamation 6955, I hereby designate 

the areas occupied by the factories that 

comprise the Central Delta zone and the 

expanded Greater Cairo and Suez Canal 

zones as specified on maps and 

materials received from Egypt and 

Israel, as qualifying industrial zones 

under section 9 of the IFTA Act, 

effective upon the date of publication of 

this notice, applicable to articles 

shipped from these qualifying industrial 

zones after such date.

United States Trade Representative.

requirements as applied to cabin 

interiors. Like all ACs, it is not 

regulatory but provides guidance for 

applicants in demonstrating compliance 

with the objective safety standards set 

forth in part 25. This notice is necessary 

to give all interested persons an 

opportunity to present their views on 

the proposed AC.

Discussion 

The proposed AC 25–17A revision 

contains guidance pertinent to the cabin 

safety and crashworthiness type 

certification requirements of part 25 as 

amended by Amendments 25–1 through 

25–112. Previously, two ACs on this 

subject have been available to the 

public: 

• AC 25–17 was issued on 7/15/91. 

It covers Amendments 25–1 through 25–

59. 

• A proposed AC 25–17A revision 

was published on 10/7/99, for public 

comment. Itcovered Amendments 25–1 

through 25–70. That revision was never 

issued as a final document. 

Several commentors to the 1999 draft 

revision requested that the format of the 

AC bechanged to repeat the complete 

regulatory text and all of the applicable 

guidance material at eachamendment 

level. The FAA agrees with those 

commentors and has revised the format 

of thisproposed revision to the AC to 

implement that change. This change, 

however, significantlyincreases the size 

of this document. 

The formats of the current version of 

the AC issued in 1991, and the 1999 

proposedrevision presented the entire 

regulatory text and applicable guidance 

only when any regulatorysection is first 

included in the AC. For subsequent 

69624 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 220 / Wednesday, November 16, 2005 / Notices 

amendments to the section, only the 

revisedrule text and additional guidance 

was included. Therefore, when looking 

for all the guidancerelated to a 

regulatory section at a recent 

amendment level, the reader must go 

through all of theamendment levels for 

that section. The same applies to 

determining the entire text for any 

regulatory section, e.g., § 25.807. 

Therefore, this proposed AC 25–17A 

revision provides, for each 

crashworthiness section,the complete 

regulatory text and associated guidance 

for each relevant amendment, 

inchronological order. Those paragraphs 

changed by the amendment are enclosed 

within [ ]. Atthe end of each guidance 

paragraph, the first applicable 

amendment level is given within ( ). 

Including the complete regulation at 

each amendment level; all of the 

guidance materialat each amendment 

level, including guidance from 

Amendments 25–1 through 25–112; and 

all of the new appendices, results in the 

document increasing to about 860 pages. 

The existing AC 25–17 includes 

guidance from Amendments 25–1 

through 25–59 (approximately one-half 

thenumber of amendments) and is 198 

pages. Compared with the total size of 

this proposedAC 25–17A revision, the 

amount of changes is very small. 

To assist in reviewing the proposed 

AC, the FAA identifies the additions/ 

changes madeto the guidance by 

highlighting the text changes the first 

time they appear. The baseline 

foridentifying the changes to the 

guidance is the existing AC 25–17, 

dated 7/15/91. Theadditions/changes 

are broken down into four categories, 

each represented in a different 

highlightcolor. Minor changes to 

improve clarity, understanding, and 

grammar are not highlighted. 

The categories and colors are: 

• Yellow highlight text (Yellow 

highlight)—Additions/changes to the 

guidance included inthe 1999 version of 

the AC that was published for comment 

AND the changes made asthe result of 

public comments received on that draft 

AC. 

• Green highlight text—Additions/ 

changes to the guidance that havebeen 

through the FAA policy development 

process. 

• Blue highlight text—Additions/ 

changes to the guidance made as the 

result of a change in the regulations. 

• Purple highlight text—Additions/ 

changes to the guidance that are 

new,and have not been through the 

public process. 

Reviewers of the draft AC are 

encouraged to focus their attention on 

the highlighted text,which represents 

the revised or new guidance compared 

to the existing released version of 

thisAC. However, if comments are 

received on guidance that is in AC 25–

17, they will reviewed and considered 

as well. 

The methods and procedures 

described in this proposed AC revision 

have evolved over manyyears. This 

proposed AC revision represents one 

acceptable means, but not the only 

means, ofcompliance pertinent to the 

associated requirements at the indicated 

amendment levels.
