Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 151 / Tuesday, August 5, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 45351 

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 Findings 

This AD will not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This AD 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. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(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. 

You can find our regulatory 

evaluation and the estimated costs of 

compliance in the AD Docket.

Adoption of the Amendment 

■ Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 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: 

2008–16–13 Boeing: Amendment 39–15631. 

Docket No. FAA–2008–0413; Directorate 

Identifier 2008–NM–003–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) is 

effective September 9, 2008. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Boeing Model 737–

600, –700, –700C, –800, –900, and –900ER 

series airplanes, certificated in any category; 

line numbers 1 through 2196 inclusive. 

Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD results from a report of a rod 

end fracture on a rudder power control unit 

(PCU) control rod, which is similar to the 

ones used for the elevator tab pushrods. 

Analysis revealed that the fractured rod end 

had an incorrect hardness, which had 

probably occurred during the manufacture of 

the control rod. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent fracture of the elevator tab pushrod 

ends, which could result in excessive inflight vibrations of the elevator tab, possible 

loss of the elevator tab, and consequent loss 

of controllability of the airplane. 

Compliance 

(e) Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

Pushrod Replacement 

(f) At the time specified in paragraph 1.E., 

‘‘Compliance,’’ of Boeing Special Attention 

Service Bulletin 737–27–1284, dated 

November 28, 2007; except, where the 

service bulletin specifies a compliance time 

after the date on the service bulletin, this AD 

requires compliance within the specified 

compliance time after the effective date of 

this AD: Replace the pushrods for the left and 

right elevator tab control mechanisms with 

new, improved pushrods by doing all the 

actions in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing 

Special Attention Service Bulletin 737–27–

1284, dated November 28, 2007. 

Parts Installation 

(g) As of the effective date of this AD, no 

person may install a pushrod assembly, part 

number 65–45166–24, on any airplane. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(h)(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, ATTN:

on June 29, 2007, as CBP Dec. 07–51 to 

implement the preferential tariff 

treatment and other customs-related 

provisions of the United States-Morocco 

Free Trade Agreement signed by the 

United States and the Kingdom of 

Morocco.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 15, 2004, the United States 

and the Kingdom of Morocco (the 

‘‘Parties’’) signed the U.S.-Morocco Free 

Trade Agreement (‘‘MFTA’’ or 

‘‘Agreement’’). The stated objectives of 

the MFTA are to: Encourage expansion 

and diversification of trade between the 

Parties; eliminate barriers to trade in, 

and facilitate the cross-border 

movement of, goods and services 

between the territories of the Parties; 

promote conditions of fair competition 

in the free trade area; substantially 

increase investment opportunities in the 

territories of the Parties; provide 

adequate and effective protection and 

enforcement of intellectual property 

rights in each Party’s territory; create 

effective procedures for the 

implementation and application of the 

MFTA, for its joint administration and 

for the resolution of disputes; and 

establish a framework for further 

regional and multilateral cooperation to 

expand and enhance the benefits of the 

MFTA. 

The provisions of the MFTA were 

adopted by the United States with the 

enactment of the United States-Morocco 

Free Trade Agreement Implementation 

Act (the ‘‘Act’’), Public Law 108–302, 

118 Stat. 1103 (19 U.S.C. 3805 note), on 

August 17, 2004. Section 205 of the Act 

requires that regulations be prescribed 

as necessary to implement these 

provisions of the MFTA. 

On December 22, 2005, the President 

signed Proclamation 7971 to implement 

the provisions of the MFTA. The 

proclamation, which was published in 

the Federal Register on December 27, 

2005 (70 FR 76649), modified the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) as set forth in 

Annexes I and II of Publication 3721 of 

the U.S. International Trade 

Commission. The modifications to the 

HTSUS included the addition of new 

General Note 27, incorporating the 

relevant MFTA rules of origin as set 

forth in the Act, and the insertion 

throughout the HTSUS of the 

preferential duty rates applicable to 

individual products under the MFTA 

where the special program indicator 

‘‘MA’’ appears in parenthesis in the 

‘‘Special’’ rate of duty subcolumn. The 

modifications to the HTSUS also 

included a new Subchapter XII to 

Chapter 99 to provide for temporary 

tariff rate quotas and applicable 

safeguards implemented by the MFTA. 

Those customs-related MFTA 

provisions that require implementation 

through regulation include certain tariff 

and non-tariff provisions within Chapter 

One (Initial Provisions and Definitions), 

Chapter Two (National Treatment and 

Market Access for Goods), Chapter Four 

(Textiles and Apparel), Chapter Five 

(Rules of Origin), and Chapter Six 

(Customs Administration). 

In Chapter One of the MFTA, certain 

general definitions in Article 1.3 have 

been incorporated into the MFTA 

implementing regulations. In MFTA 

Chapter Two, Article 2.6 (Goods Reentered after Repair or Alteration) 

requires implementation by CBP. 

Chapter Four of the MFTA sets forth 

the measures relating to trade in textile 

and apparel goods between Morocco 

and the United States under the MFTA. 

The provisions within Chapter Four that 

require regulatory action by CBP are 

Article 4.3 (Rules of Origin and Related 

Matters) and Article 4.5 (Definitions). 

Chapter Five of the MFTA sets forth 

the rules for determining whether an 

imported good qualifies as an 

originating good of the United States or 

Morocco (MFTA Party) and, as such, is 

therefore eligible for preferential tariff 

(duty-free or reduced duty) treatment as 

specified in the Agreement. Under 

Article 5.1, originating goods may be 

grouped in three broad categories: (1) 

Goods that are wholly the growth, 

product, or manufacture of one or both 

of the Parties; (2) goods (other than 

those covered by the product-specific 

rules set forth in Annex 4–A or Annex 

5–A) that are new or different articles of 

commerce that have been grown, 

produced, or manufactured in the 

territory of one or both of the Parties, 

and that have a minimum value-content, 

i.e., at least 35 percent of the good’s 

appraised value must be attributed to 

the cost or value of materials produced 

in one or both of the Parties plus the 

direct costs of processing operations 

performed in one or both of the Parties; 

and (3) goods that satisfy the productspecific rules set forth in Annex 4–A 

(textile or apparel goods) or Annex 5–

A (certain non-textile or non-apparel 

goods). 

Article 5.2 explains that the term 

‘‘new or different article of commerce’’

means a good that has been 

substantially transformed from a good or 

material that is not wholly the growth, 

product, or manufacture of one or both 

of the Parties and that has a new name, 

character, or use distinct from the good 

or material from which it was 

transformed. Article 5.3 provides that a 

good will not be considered to be a new 

or different article of commerce as the 

result of undergoing simple combining 

or packaging operations, or mere 

dilution with water or another 

substance that does not materially alter 

the characteristics of the good. CBP 

notes that, pursuant to letters of 

understanding exchanged between the 

Parties on June 16, 2004, in determining 

whether a good meets the definition of 

a ‘‘ new or different article of 

commerce’’ in § 10.769(i), the United 

States should be guided by the 

provisions of part 102 of the CBP 

regulations (19 CFR part 102). 

Article 5.4 provides for the 

accumulation of production in the 

territory of one or both of the Parties in 

determining whether a good qualifies as 

originating under the MFTA. Articles 

5.5 and 5.6 set forth the rules for 

calculating the value of materials and 

the direct costs of processing operations, 

respectively, for purposes of 

determining whether a good satisfies the 

35 percent value-content requirement. 

Articles 5.7 through 5.9 consist of 

additional sub-rules applicable to 

originating goods, involving retail 

packaging materials, packing materials 

for shipment, indirect materials, and 

transit and transshipment. In addition, 

Articles 5.10 and 5.11 set forth the 

procedural requirements that apply 

under the MFTA, in particular with 

regard to importer claims for 

preferential tariff treatment. Article 5.14 

provides definitions of certain of the 

terms used in Chapter Five of the 

MFTA. The basic rules of origin in 

Chapter Five of the MFTA are set forth 

in General Note 27, HTSUS, and in part 

102 of title 19 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations. 

Chapter Six sets forth the customs 

operational provisions related to the 

implementation and administration of 

the MFTA. 

Customs and Border Protection 

(‘‘CBP’’) is responsible for administering 

the provisions of the MFTA and the Act 


dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 151 / Tuesday, August 5, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 45353 

that relate to the importation of goods 

into the United States from Morocco. On 

June 29, 2007, CBP published CBP Dec. 

07–51 in the Federal Register (72 FR 

35647), setting forth interim 

amendments to implement the 

preferential tariff treatment and 

customs-related provisions of the 

MFTA. In order to provide transparency 

and facilitate their use, the majority of 

the MFTA implementing regulations set 

forth in CBP Dec. 07–51 were included 

within new subpart M in part 10 of title 

19 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(19 CFR subpart M, part 10). However, 

in those cases in which MFTA 

implementation was more appropriate 

in the context of an existing regulatory 

provision, the MFTA regulatory text was 

incorporated in an existing part within 

the CBP regulations. 

Although the interim regulatory 

amendments were promulgated without 

prior public notice and comment 

procedures and took effect on June 29, 

2007, CBP Dec. 07–51 provided for the 

submission of public comments that 

would be considered before adopting 

the interim regulations as a final rule. 

The prescribed public comment period 

closed on August 28, 2007. No 

comments were received in response to 

the solicitation of public comments in 

CBP Dec. 07–51. 

Changes to the Regulations 

The final rulemaking text set forth 

below incorporates certain changes, as 

discussed below, which CBP believes 

are necessary based on further internal 

review of the interim regulatory text. 

Definition of ‘‘New or Different Article 

of Commerce’’ 

The words ‘‘new or different article of 

commerce’’ are defined in § 10.769(i) of 

the interim regulations as a good that 

has been substantially transformed from 

a good or material that is not wholly the 

growth, product, or manufacture of one 

or both of the Parties and that has a new 

name, character, or use distinct from the 

good or material from which it was 

transformed. This definition has been 

revised in this final rule document to 

provide that such an article of 

commerce ‘‘exists when the country of 

origin of a good which is produced in 

a Party from foreign materials is 

determined to be that country under the 

provisions of §§ 102.1 through 102.21 

of’’ the CBP regulations (19 CFR 102.1 

through 102.21). CBP believes that this 

revised definition is more transparent 

and is consistent with letters of 

understanding exchanged between the 

Parties which provide that, in 

determining whether a good meets the 

definition of a ‘‘new or different article 

of commerce,’’ the United States and 

Morocco should be guided by the 

provisions of Part 102 of the CBP 

regulations. 

CBP also notes that this revised 

definition is identical to the definition 

of the same term set forth in the interim 

regulations implementing the United 

States-Bahrain Free Trade Agreement 

(‘‘BFTA’’) (see § 10.809(i), CBP 

regulations (19 CFR 10.809(i)). The rules 

of origin set forth in the BFTA 

(including letters of understanding 

exchanged between the Parties 

concerning the interpretation of ‘‘new or 

different article of commerce’’) closely 

parallel those in the MFTA. 

Other Changes 

1. In § 10.761, relating to the scope of 

Subpart M, the last sentence has been 

revised to add Part 102 as one of the 

parts in the CBP regulations that include 

amendments implementing the MFTA, 

consistent with the revision to the 

definition of ‘‘new or different article of 

commerce’’ in § 10.769(i) discussed 

above; 

2. In § 10.769, the definition of 

‘‘substantially transformed’’ (formerly 

paragraph (o)) has been removed as 

those words are no longer used in 

Subpart M as a result of the revision of 

the definition of ‘‘new or different 

article of commerce’’ discussed above; 

3. In § 10.770, which sets forth the 

basic MFTA rules of origin, paragraph 

(a)(2) has been revised to add the words 

‘‘, as defined in § 10.769(i) of this 

subpart,’’ immediately following the 

words ‘‘new or different article of 

commerce’’ for clarification purposes; 

4. Section 10.785, which concerns 

verifications conducted in Morocco by 

Moroccan authorities (at the request of 

CBP) relating to textile and apparel 

goods imported into the United States, 

has been removed in its entirety. CBP 

believes that the provisions of § 10.785 

are unnecessary to the proper 

implementation of the MFTA as they 

relate primarily to actions that the 

Government of Morocco and CBP may 

take in connection with verifications 

performed in Morocco. As such, these 

provisions impose no requirements on 

U.S. importers of textile or apparel 

goods or other members of the trade. In 

addition, CBP notes that the removal of 

§ 10.785 provides consistency between 

the MFTA implementing regulations 

and the interim regulations 

implementing the BFTA, which include 

no provisions regarding verifications in 

Bahrain of U.S. imports of textile and 

apparel products. The verification 

provisions in the MFTA closely parallel 

those in the BFTA; 

5. As a result of the removal of 

§ 10.785, discussed above, §§ 10.786 

through 10.788 of the interim regulatory 

text have been re-designated as 

§§ 10.785 through 10.787, respectively; 

and 

6. In § 102.0, relating to the scope of 

part 102, the third sentence has been 

revised by adding the words ‘‘§ 10.769 

of the United States-Morocco Free Trade 

Agreement regulations and’’

immediately following the words ‘‘new 

or different article of commerce under’’, 

consistent with the revision of the 

definition of ‘‘new or different article of 

commerce’’ discussed above. 

Conclusion 

Accordingly, based on the 

considerations discussed above, CBP 

believes that the interim regulations 

published as CBP Dec. 07–51, should be 

adopted as a final rule with certain 

changes as discussed above and as set 

forth below. 

Executive Order 12866 

CBP has determined that this 

document is not a regulation or rule 

subject to the provisions of Executive 

Order 12866 of September 30, 1993 (58 

FR 51735, October 1993), because it 

pertains to a foreign affairs function of 

the United States and implements an 

international agreement and, therefore, 

is specifically exempted by section 

3(d)(2) of Executive Order 12866. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

CBP Dec. 07–51 was issued as an 

interim rule rather than a notice of 

proposed rulemaking because CBP had 

determined that the interim regulations 

involve a foreign affairs function of the 

United States pursuant to § 553(a)(1) of 

the Administrative Procedure Act. 

Because no notice of proposed 

rulemaking was required, the provisions 

of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as 

amended (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), do not 

apply. Accordingly, this final rule is not 

subject to the regulatory analysis 

requirements or other requirements of 5 

U.S.C. 603 and 604. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The collection of information in this 

final rule has previously been reviewed 

and approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget in accordance 

with the requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3507) under 

control number 1651–0117. 

The collections of information in 

these regulations are in §§ 10.703 and 

10.704. This information is required in 

connection with claims for preferential 

tariff treatment and for the purpose of 

the exercise of other rights under the 


dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with RULES
45354 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 151 / Tuesday, August 5, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 

MFTA and the Act and will be used by 

CBP to determine eligibility for a tariff 

preference or other rights or benefits 

under the MFTA and the Act. The likely 

respondents are business organizations 

including importers, exporters, and 

manufacturers. 

The estimated average annual burden 

associated with the collection of 

information in this final rule is 0.2 

hours per respondent or record keeper. 

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

a person is not required to respond to, 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a valid OMB control number. 

Signing Authority 

This document is being issued in 

accordance with § 0.1(a)(1) of the CBP 

regulations (19 CFR 0.1(a)(1)) pertaining 

to the authority of the Secretary of the 

Treasury (or his/her delegate) to 

approve regulations related to certain 

customs revenue functions.

amending parts 10, 162, 163, and 178 of 

the CBP regulations (19 CFR parts 10, 

162, 163, and 178), which was 

published at 72 FR 35647 on June 29,
