Limes and Avocados Grown in Florida

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service,

USDA.

ACTION: Referendum order.

SUMMARY: This document directs that

referenda be conducted among eligible

producers of Florida limes and Florida

avocados to determine whether they

favor continuance of the marketing

orders regulating the handling of limes

and avocados grown in the production

area.

DATES: The referenda will be conducted

from June 1 through June 15, 1996. To

vote in these referenda, growers must

have been producing Florida limes or

Florida avocados during the period

April 1, 1995, through March 31, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the marketing

orders may be obtained from the office

of the referendum agent at P.O. Box

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to Marketing Order Nos. 911 [7 CFR Part

911] and 915 [7 CFR Part 915],

hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘orders,’’

and the applicable provisions of the

Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act

of 1937, as amended [7 U.S.C. 601–674],

hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Act’’, it is

hereby directed that referenda be

conducted to ascertain whether

continuance of the orders is favored by

the producers. The referenda shall be

conducted during the period June 1,

through June 15, 1996, among Florida

lime and avocado producers in the

production area. Only producers that

were engaged in the production of

Florida limes or Florida avocados

during the period of April 1, 1995,

through March 31, 1996, may

participate in the continuance

referenda.

The Secretary of Agriculture has

determined that continuance referenda

are an effective means for ascertaining

whether producers favor continuation of

marketing order programs. The

Secretary would consider termination of

the order(s) if less than two-thirds of the

producers voting in the referenda and

producers of less than two-thirds of the

volume of Florida limes or Florida

avocados represented in the referenda

favor continuance. In evaluating the

merits of continuance versus

termination, the Secretary will not only

consider the results of the continuance

referenda. The Secretary will also

consider other relevant information

concerning the operation of the orders;

the orders’ relative benefits and

disadvantages to producers, handlers,

and consumers; and whether continued

operation of the orders would tend to

effectuate the declared policy of the Act.

In any event, section 8c(16)(B) of the

Act requires the Secretary to terminate

an order whenever the Secretary finds

that a majority of all producers affected

by the order favor termination, and such

majority produced for market more than

50 percent of the commodity covered

under such order.

In compliance with the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB)

regulations (5 CFR Part 1320) which

implement the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995 [Pub. L. 104–13], the ballot

materials to be used in the referenda

herein ordered have been submitted to

and approved by OMB and have been

assigned OMB Nos. 0581–0091 for

Florida limes and 0581–0078 for Florida

avocados. It has been estimated that it

will take an average of 10 minutes for

each of the approximately 114

producers of Florida limes and 138

producers of Florida avocados to cast a

ballot.

Participation in the referenda is

voluntary. Ballots postmarked after June

15, 1996, will not be included in the

vote tabulation.

Doris Jamieson and Christian D.

Nissen of the Southeast Marketing Field

Office, Fruit and Vegetable Division,

Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA,

are hereby designated as the referenda

agents of the Secretary of Agriculture to

conduct such referenda. The procedure

applicable to the referenda shall be the

‘‘Procedure for the Conduct of

Referenda in Connection With

Marketing Orders for Fruit, Vegetables,

and Nuts Pursuant to the Agricultural

Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as

Amended’’ [7 CFR Part 900.400 et. seq].

Ballots will be mailed to all producers

of record and may also be obtained from

the referenda agents and their

appointees.

Standard Design Certification for the

U.S. Advanced Boiling-Water Reactor

and System 80+ Designs; Extension of

Comment Period

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule: extension of the

comment period.
27028 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 105 / Thursday, May 30, 1996 / Proposed Rules

SUMMARY: A supplementary notice of

proposed rulemaking for certification of

the U.S. Advanced Boiling-Water

Reactor (ABWR) and System 80+

designs was published in the Federal

Register on April 24, 1996 (61 FR

18099). The supplementary comment

period expired on May 24, 1996. On

May 17, 1996, the U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission (NRC) received

a request for a 60-day extension of the

supplementary comment period from

the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). NEI

requested the extension in order to

provide substantive comments on new

issues, as well as on longstanding issues

that NEI stated have not yet been

resolved to its satisfaction. Therefore,

the Commission is extending the

comment period to July 23, 1996.

The final design certification rules for

the ABWR and System 80+ designs,

which are under consideration by the

Commission, are contained in SECY–

96–077, ‘‘Certification of Two

Evolutionary Designs,’’ which was

prepared by the NRC staff. This SECY

paper has been placed in the NRC

Public Document Room (PDR), and

comments on the proposed rules,

focusing specifically on staffrecommended changes from the rules

originally proposed, are solicited. These

changes are discussed in the

supplementary information section of

the recommended notices of final

rulemaking contained in SECY–96–077.

In addition, GE Nuclear Energy (GE)

submitted draft changes to the ABWR

Design Control Document (DCD) to the

NRC in a letter dated April 16, 1996 that

GE intends to include in its final DCD.

Comments are also solicited on GE’s

letter of April 16, 1996, which is

available in the NRC PDR.

DATES: Comments are due by July 23,

1996. Comments received after this date

will be considered if it is practical to do

so, but the Commission will only assure

consideration for comments received on

or before this date.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments

to the Secretary of the Commission, U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention:

Docketing and Service Branch.

Comments may also be hand delivered

to 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville,

Maryland, between 7:30 a.m. and 4:15

p.m. on Federal workdays. Copies of

SECY–96–077, including the Federal

Register notices for both rules, and the

comments received will be available for

examination at the NRC Public

Document Room at 2120 L Street NW

(Lower Level), Washington, DC.

Airworthiness Directives; Beech

(Raytheon) Model BAe 125 Series

1000A and Model Hawker 1000

Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: This document proposes the

adoption of a new airworthiness

directive (AD) that is applicable to

certain Beech (Raytheon) Model BAe

125 series 1000A and Model Hawker

1000 airplanes. This proposal would

require a one-time inspection for correct

sleeve lengths, an inspection to detect

discrepancies of the elevator pulley

assembly, and correction of any

discrepancy. This proposal is prompted

by reports indicating that some aircraft

have been fitted with an elevator pulley

that was assembled incorrectly during

manufacture. The actions specified by

the proposed AD are intended to

prevent reduced structural integrity of

the elevator control circuit due to failure

of one or more outer lugs or malfunction

of the elevator pulley assembly as a

result of incorrect assembly of the

pulley.

DATES: Comments must be received by

July 8, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments in

triplicate to the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), Transport

Airplane Directorate, ANM–103,
