58268 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 198 / Monday, October 15, 2007 / Proposed Rules 

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 

We 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. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 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. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD: 

Rolls-Royce plc: Docket No. FAA–2007–

28059; Directorate Identifier 2007–NE–

13–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive comments by 

November 14, 2007. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Rolls-Royce plc 

RB211 Trent 553–61, 553A2–61, 556–61, 

556A2–61, 556B–61, 560–61, 560A2–61, 

768–60, 772–60, 772B–60, 772C–60, 875–17, 

877–17, 884–17, 884B–17, 892–17, 892B–17, 

and 895–17 turbofan engines. These engines 

are installed on, but not limited to, Airbus 

A330, A340–500, A340–600, and Boeing 777 

series airplanes. 

Reason 

(d) This action is necessary following the 

discovery of IP Compressor Rotor rear 

balance land cracking on an in-service Trent 

800 engine. Stress analysis of the damaged 

rotor has shown a possible threat to the rotor 

integrity, the cracking therefore presents a 

potential unsafe condition. The proposed AD 

would require actions that are intended to 

address the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI. 

We are proposing this AD to detect 

cracking on the intermediate pressure (IP) 

Compressor rotor rear balance land. IP 

compressor rotor rear balance land cracking 

can lead to uncontained failure of the rotor 

and damage to the airplane. 

Actions and Compliance 

(e) Unless already done, do the following 

actions:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Carlita Ballard, Office of International 

Policy, Fuel Economy and Consumer 

Programs, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590. 

Ms. Ballard’s telephone number is (202) 

366–0846. Her fax number is (202) 493–

2990. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA 

administers a program for reducing 

motor vehicle theft. The central feature 

of this program is the Federal Motor 

Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard, 49 

CFR Part 541. The standard specifies 

performance requirements for inscribing 

or affixing vehicle identification 

numbers (VINs) onto certain major 

original equipment and replacement 

parts of high-theft lines of passenger 

motor vehicles. 

The agency is required by 49 U.S.C. 

33104(b)(4) to periodically obtain, from 

the most reliable source, accurate and 

timely theft data, and publish the data 

for review and comment. To fulfill the 

§ 33104(b)(4) mandate, this document 

reports the preliminary theft data for CY 

2005 the most recent calendar year for 

which data are available. 

In calculating the 2005 theft rates, 

NHTSA followed the same procedures it 

used in calculating the MY 2004 theft 

rates. (For 2004 theft data calculations, 

see 71 FR 59400, October 10, 2006.) As 

in all previous reports, NHTSA’s data 

were based on information provided to 

the agency by the National Crime 

Information Center (NCIC) of the 

Federal Bureau of Investigation. The 

NCIC is a governmental system that 

receives vehicle theft information from 

nearly 23,000 criminal justice agencies 

and other law enforcement authorities 

throughout the United States. The NCIC 

data also include reported thefts of selfinsured and uninsured vehicles, not all 

of which are reported to other data 

sources. The 2005 theft rate for each 

vehicle line was calculated by dividing 

the number of reported thefts of MY 

2005 vehicles of that line stolen during 

calendar year 2005, by the total number 

of vehicles in that line manufactured for 

MY 2005, as reported by manufacturers 

to the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

The preliminary 2005 theft data show 

an increase in the vehicle theft rate 

when compared to the theft rate 

experienced in CY/MY 2004. The 

preliminary theft rate for MY 2005 

passenger vehicles stolen in calendar 

year 2005 increased to 1.85 thefts per 

thousand vehicles produced, an 

increase of 1.1 percent from the rate of 

1.83 thefts per thousand vehicles 

experienced by MY 2004 vehicles in CY 

2004. For MY 2005 vehicles, out of a 

total of 233 vehicle lines, 24 lines had 

a theft rate higher than 3.5826 per 

thousand vehicles, the established 

median theft rate for MYs 1990/1991 

(See 59 FR 12400, March 16, 1994). Of 

the 24 vehicle lines with a theft rate 

higher than 3.5826, 21 are passenger car 

lines, two are multipurpose passenger 

vehicle lines, and one is a light-duty 

truck line.

In Table I, NHTSA has tentatively 

ranked each of the MY 2005 vehicle 

lines in descending order of theft rate. 

Public comment is sought on the 

accuracy of the data, including the data 

for the production volumes of 

individual vehicle lines.

confidentiality, three copies of the 

complete submission, including 

purportedly confidential business 

information, should be submitted to the 

Chief Counsel, NHTSA, at the street 

address given above, and two copies 

from which the purportedly confidential 

information has been deleted should be 

submitted to Dockets. A request for 

confidentiality should be accompanied 

by a cover letter setting forth the 

information specified in the agency’s 

confidential business information 

regulation. 49 CFR part 512. 

All comments received before the 

close of business on the comment 

closing date indicated above for this 

document will be considered, and will 

be available for examination in the 

docket at the above address both before

Migratory Bird Subsistence Harvest in 

Alaska; Harvest Regulations for 

Migratory Birds in Alaska During the 

2008 Season 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service or we) is publishing 

migratory bird subsistence harvest 

regulations in Alaska for the 2008 

season. This proposed rule establishes 

regulations that prescribe dates when 

harvesting of birds may occur, species 

that can be taken, and methods and 

means excluded from use. These 

regulations were developed under a Comanagement process involving the 

Service, the Alaska Department of Fish 

and Game, and Alaska Native 

representatives. These regulations 

enable the continuation of customary 

and traditional subsistence uses of 

migratory birds in Alaska. The 

rulemaking is necessary because the 

regulations governing the subsistence 

harvest of migratory birds in Alaska are 

subject to annual review. This 

rulemaking proposes region-specific 

regulations that go into effect on April 

2, 2008, and expire on August 31, 2008. 

DATES: Comments on the proposed 

subsistence harvest regulations for 

migratory birds in Alaska must be 

submitted by December 14, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

on this proposed rule by any of the 

following methods: 

1. U.S. mail or hand delivery: 

Regional Director, Alaska Region, U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service, 1011 E. 

Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK 99503. 

2. Fax: (907) 786–3306. 

3. E-mail: ambcc@fws.gov. 

4. Federal e-rulemaking portal: 

http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions on the site for submitting 

comments. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred 

Armstrong, (907) 786–3887, or Donna 

Dewhurst, (907) 786–3499, U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service, 1011 E. Tudor 

Road, Mail Stop 201, Anchorage, AK 

99503. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

How Do I Find the History of These 

Regulations? 

Background information, including 

past events leading to this action, 

accomplishments since the Migratory 

Bird Treaties with Canada and Mexico 

were amended, and a history addressing 

conservation issues can be found in the 

following Federal Register notices: 

August 16, 2002 (67 FR 53511); July 21, 

2003 (68 FR 43010); April 2, 2004 (69 

FR 17318); April 8, 2005 (70 FR 18244); 

February 28, 2006 (71 FR 10404); and 

April 11, 2007 (72 FR 18318). These 

documents are readily available at 

http://alaska.fws.gov/ambcc/ 

regulations.htm. 

Why Is This Current Rulemaking 

Necessary? 

This current rulemaking is necessary 

because the migratory bird harvest 

season is closed unless opened, and the 

regulations governing subsistence 

harvest of migratory birds in Alaska are 

subject to public review and annual 

approval. The Alaska Migratory Bird Comanagement Council (Co-management 

Council) held a meeting in April 2007 

to develop recommendations for 

changes effective for the 2008 harvest 

season. These recommendations were 

presented to the Service Regulations 

Committee (SRC) on August 1 and 2, 

2007, and were approved. 

This rule proposes regulations for the 

taking of migratory birds for subsistence 

uses in Alaska during 2008. This rule 

lists migratory bird species that are 

proposed to be open or closed to 

harvest, as well as proposed season 

openings and closures by region. 

How Will the Service Continue To 

Ensure That the Subsistence Harvest 

Will Not Raise Overall Migratory Bird 

Harvest? 

The Service has an emergency closure 

provision (§ 92.21), so that if any 

significant increases in harvest are 

documented for one or more species in 

a region, an emergency closure can be 

requested and implemented. Eligibility 

to harvest under the regulations 

established in 2003 was limited to 

permanent residents, regardless of race, 

in villages located within the Alaska 

Peninsula, Kodiak Archipelago, the 

Aleutian Islands and in areas north and 

west of the Alaska Range (§ 92.5). These 

geographical restrictions opened the 

initial subsistence migratory bird 

harvest to only about 13 percent of 

Alaska residents. High-population areas 

such as Anchorage, the MatanuskaSusitna and Fairbanks North Star 

boroughs, the Kenai Peninsula roaded 

area, the Gulf of Alaska roaded area, and 

Southeast Alaska were excluded from 

the eligible subsistence harvest areas. 

Based on petitions requesting 

inclusion in the harvest, in 2004, we 

added 13 additional communities based 

on criteria set forth in § 92.5(c). These 

communities were Gulkana, Gakona, 

Tazlina, Copper Center, Mentasta Lake, 

Chitina, Chistochina, Tatitlek, Chenega, 

Port Graham, Nanwalek, Tyonek, and 

Hoonah, with a combined population of 

2,766. In 2005, we added three 

additional communities for glaucouswinged gull egg gathering only, based 

on petitions requesting inclusion. These 

southeastern communities were Craig, 

Hydaburg, and Yakutat, with a 

combined population of 2,459. 

In 2007, we have enacted the Alaska 

Department of Fish and Game’s 

(ADF&G) request to expand the 

Fairbanks North Star Borough excluded 

area to include the Central Interior area. 

This excluded the following 

communities from participation in this 

harvest: Big Delta/Fort Greely, Healy, 

McKinley Park/Village and Ferry, with 

a combined population of 2,812. These 

removed communities reduced the 

percentage of the State population 

included in the subsistence harvest to 

13 percent. 

Subsistence harvest has been 

monitored for the past 15 years through 

the use of annual household surveys in 

the most heavily used subsistence 

harvest areas, e.g., Yukon/Kuskokwim 

Delta. Continuation of this monitoring 

enables tracking of any major changes or 

trends in levels of harvest and user 

participation after legalization of the 

harvest. The Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) has approved the 

information collection and assigned 

OMB control number 1018–0124, which 

expires on January 31, 2010. 

What Birds Will Be Open To Harvest in 

2008? 

At the request of the North Slope 

Borough Fish and Game Management 

Committee, the Co-management Council 

recommended continuing into 2008 the 

provisions originally established in 

2005 to allow subsistence use of yellowbilled loons inadvertently caught in 

subsistence fishing (gill) nets on the 

North Slope. Yellow-billed loons are 

culturally important for the Inupiat 

Eskimo of the North Slope for use in 

traditional dance regalia. A maximum of 

20 yellow-billed loons may be caught in 

2008 pursuant to this provision. 

Individual reporting to the North Slope 

Borough Department of Wildlife is 

required by the end of each season. In
