18728 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 71 / Thursday, April 13, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

California. In addition, these small

entities sell regulated articles primarily

for local intrastate, not interstate,

movement so the effect, if any, of this

regulation on these entities appears to

be minimal.

The effect on those few entities that

did move previously regulated articles

interstate was minimized by the

availability of various treatments, that,

in most cases, allowed these small

entities to move regulated articles

interstate with very little additional

cost.

Under these circumstances, the

Administrator of the Animal and Plant

Health Inspection Service has

determined that this action will not

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities.

Tuberculosis in Cattle and Bison; State

Designation

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health

1995. Consideration will be given only

to comments received on or before June

12, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Bovine tuberculosis is the contagious,

infectious, and communicable disease

caused by Mycobacterium bovis. The

tuberculosis regulations, contained in 9

CFR part 77 (referred to below as the

regulations), regulate the interstate

movement of cattle and bison because of

tuberculosis. Cattle or bison not known

to be affected with or exposed to

tuberculosis are eligible for interstate

movement without restriction if those

cattle or bison are moved from

jurisdictions designated as accreditedfree States or modified accredited

States. The regulations restrict the

interstate movement of cattle or bison

not known to be affected with or

exposed to tuberculosis if those cattle or

bison are moved from jurisdictions

designated as nonmodified accredited

States.

The status of a State is based on its

freedom from evidence of tuberculosis,

the effectiveness of the State’s

tuberculosis eradication program, and

the degree of the State’s compliance

with the standards contained in the

‘‘Uniform Methods and Rules—Bovine

Tuberculosis Eradication,’’ which is part

of the regulations via incorporation by

reference in part 77. A State must have

no findings of tuberculosis in any cattle

or bison in the State for at least 5 years

in order to be designated as an

accredited-free State.

Before publication of this interim

rule, North Carolina was designated in

§ 77.1 of the regulations as a modified

accredited State. However, North

Carolina now meets the requirements

for designation as an accredited-free

State. Therefore, we are amending the

regulations by removing North Carolina

from the list of modified accredited

States in § 77.1 and adding it to the list

of accredited-free States in that section.

Immediate Action

The Administrator of the Animal and

Plant Health Inspection Service has

determined that there is good cause for

publishing this interim rule without

prior opportunity for public comment.

Immediate action is warranted, as North

Carolina currently meets the criteria for

designation as an accredited-free State.

This action provides prospective cattle

and bison buyers with accurate and upto-date information, which may affect

the marketability of cattle and bison

since some prospective buyers prefer to

buy cattle and bison from accreditedfree States.

Because prior notice and other public

procedures with respect to this action

are impracticable and contrary to the

public interest under these conditions,

we find good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553

to make it effective upon publication in

the Federal Register. We will consider

comments that are received within 60

days of publication of this rule in the

Federal Register. After the comment

period closes, we will publish another

document in the Federal Register. It

will include a discussion of any

comments we receive and any
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 71 / Thursday, April 13, 1995 / Rules and Regulations 18729

amendments we are making to the rule

as a result of the comments.

Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory

Flexibility Act

This interim rule has been reviewed

under Executive Order 12866.

For this action, the Office of

Management and Budget has waived its

review process required by Executive

Order 12866.

There are approximately 31,200 cattle

herds in North Carolina. An estimated

95 percent of the herds are owned by

small businesses. Changing the status of

North Carolina may enhance the

marketability of cattle and bison from

the State, since some prospective cattle

and bison buyers prefer to buy cattle

and bison from accredited-free States.

This may result in some beneficial

economic impact on some small

entities. However, based on our

experience in similar designations of

other States, the impact should not be

significant.

Under these circumstances, the

Administrator of the Animal and Plant

Health Inspection Service has

determined that this action will not

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities.

and local laws and regulations that are

in conflict with this rule; (2) has no

retroactive effect; and (3) does not

require administrative proceedings

before parties may file suit in court

challenging this rule.

Airworthiness Directives; General

Electric Company (GE) CF6–45 and

CF6–50 Series Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This amendment revises an

existing airworthiness directive (AD),

applicable to General Electric Company

(GE) CF6–45 and CF6–50 series turbofan

engines, that currently requires

repetitive inspections of high pressure

compressor (HPC) rear shafts, and also

requires installation of a certain rear

shaft flange bolt configuration . This

amendment clarifies that engines with a

Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA)

bolt part number (P/N) installed must

accomplish the inspection requirements

of the AD, and allow the installation of

the PMA bolt in lieu of the GE bolt. This

amendment is prompted by the

omission of the PMA bolt P/N from the

current AD requirements. The actions

specified by this AD are intended to

prevent an HPC rear shaft fracture,

which could result in an inflight engine

shutdown and an uncontained engine

failure.

DATES: Effective April 28, 1995.

The incorporation by reference of

certain publications listed in the

regulations was approved by the

Director of the Federal Register as of

June 17, 1991.

Comments for inclusion in the Rules

Docket must be received on or before

June 12, 1995.

triplicate to the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), New England

Region, Office of the Assistant Chief

Counsel, Attention: Rules Docket No.

information may be examined at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March

18, 1991, the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) issued AD 91–

10–03, Amendment 39–6956 (56 FR

19920, May 1, 1991), applicable to

General Electric Company (GE) CF6–45

and CF6–50 series turbofan engines, to

require repetitive inspections of high

pressure compressor (HPC) rear shafts,

and installation of a certain rear shaft

flange bolt configuration. That action

was prompted by reports of 35 HPC rear

shafts found cracked in the bolt hole

area. That condition, if not corrected,

could result in an HPC rear shaft

fracture, which could result in an

inflight engine shutdown and an

uncontained engine failure.

Since the issuance of that AD, the

FAA has determined that Parts

Manufacturer Approval (PMA)

Production Approval Listing,

Supplement No. 27, authorizes the use

of Valley-Todeco (VT) bolt, Part Number

(P/N) VCD0016, in lieu of GE bolt, P/N

1375M69P01. Since VT bolt, P/N

VCD0016, and GE bolt, P/N

1375M69P01, are identical in design,

paragraphs (a)(1)(v), (a)(2), and (a)(2)(v)

of AD 91–10–03 should also apply to

HPC rear shafts that are installed with

VT bolt, P/N VCD0016.

The FAA has reviewed and approved

the technical contents of GE Service

Bulletin (SB) No. 72–958, Revision 1,

dated October 18, 1990, that describes
