DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Animal and Plant Health Inspection

Service

9 CFR Part 93

[Docket No. 00–115–3]

Specifically Approved States

Authorized To Receive Mares and

Stallions Imported From Regions

Where CEM Exists

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health

Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Direct final rule; establishment

and confirmation of new effective date.

SUMMARY: We are notifying the public of

a change in the effective date of a direct

final rule that amends our animal

import regulations to add Oregon to the

list of States approved to receive certain

mares and stallions from regions

affected with contagious equine

metritis. The direct final rule was

originally scheduled to become effective

on February 16, 2001; however, on

February 5, 2001, we published a

document in the Federal Register that

temporarily delayed the effective date

by 60 days in order to give Department

officials the opportunity for further

review and consideration of the new

regulations, consistent with the

Assistant to the President’s

memorandum, ‘‘Regulatory Review

Plan,’’ of January 20, 2001. Department

officials have completed their review of

the direct final rule and have

determined that the rule may be made

effective without further delay.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 16, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.

Karen James, Assistant Director,

National Center for Import and Export,

Technical Trade Services, VS, APHIS,

4700 River Road Unit 39, Riverdale, MD

20737–1231; (301) 734–8364.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

December 18, 2000, the Animal and

Plant Health Inspection Service

published in the Federal Register (65

FR 78897–78899, Docket No. 00–115–1)

a direct final rule notifying the public of

our intention to amend the animal

importation regulations in 9 CFR part 93

by adding Oregon to the lists of States

approved to receive certain mares and

stallions imported into the United States

from regions affected with contagious

equine metritis (CEM). In that

document, we stated that the direct final

rule would become effective on

February 16, 2001, unless we received

written adverse comments or written

notice of intent to submit adverse

comments in response to the direct final

rule by January 17, 2001. We did not

receive any written adverse comments

or written notice of intent to submit

adverse comments, so we were prepared

to confirm the February 16, 2001,

effective date.

However, on February 5, 2001, we

published a document in the Federal

Register (66 FR 8887, Docket No. 00–

115–2) informing the public that we

were temporarily delaying for 60 days

the effective date of the rule. That action

was taken in accordance with the

memorandum of January 20, 2001, from

the Assistant to the President and Chief

of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Review

Plan,’’ which was published in the

Federal Register on January 24, 2001

(66 FR 7701-7702). As we explained in

our February 5, 2001, document, the

temporary 60-day delay in effective date

was necessary to give Department

officials the opportunity for further

review and consideration of new

regulations, as directed by the

memorandum of January 20, 2001.

Department officials have completed

their review and consideration of our

December 18, 2000, direct final rule and

have determined that the rule may be

made effective without further delay.

Therefore, this document serves to

establish and confirm February 16,

2001, as the effective date for the direct

final rule adding Oregon to the lists of

States approved to receive certain mares

and stallions imported into the United

States from regions affected with CEM

that was published in the Federal

Register on December 18, 2000, at 65 FR

78897–78899.

Effective Date

This is a substantive rule that relieves

restrictions and, pursuant to the

provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553, may be made

effective less than 30 days after

publication in the Federal Register.

The rule adds Oregon to the lists of

States approved to receive certain mares

and stallions imported into the United

States from regions affected with CEM.

We are taking this action because

Oregon has entered into an agreement

with the Administrator of the Animal

and Plant Health Inspection Service to

enforce its State laws and regulations to

control CEM and to require inspection,

treatment, and testing of horses, as

required by Federal regulations, to

further ensure the horses’ freedom from

CEM. This action relieves unnecessary

restrictions on the importation of mares

and stallions from regions where CEM

exists. Therefore, the Administrator of

the Animal and Plant Health Inspection

Service has determined that this rule

should be effective upon signature.

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1622; 19 U.S.C. 1306;

21 U.S.C. 102–105, 111, 114a, 134a, 134b,

134c, 134d, 134f, 136, and 136a; 31 U.S.C.

9701; 7 CFR 2.22, 2.80, and 371.4.

Done in Washington, DC, this 16th day of

February 2001.

Bobby R. Acord,

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant

Health Inspection Service.

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the

Federal Reserve System.

ACTION: Final rule; determination of

applicability of regulations.

SUMMARY: The List of Foreign Margin

Stocks (Foreign List) is composed of

certain foreign equity securities that

qualify as margin securities under

Regulation T. The Foreign List is

published twice a year by the Board.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 1, 2001.

the Federal Reserve System,

Washington, DC 20551.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Listed

below is a complete edition of the

Board’s Foreign List. The Foreign List

was last published on August 24, 2000

(65 FR 51519), and became effective

September 1, 2000.

The Foreign List is composed of

foreign equity securities that qualify as

margin securities under Regulation T by

meeting the requirements of § 220.11(c)

and (d). Additional foreign securities

qualify as margin securities if they are

deemed by the Securities and Exchange

Commission (SEC) to have a ‘‘ready

market’’ under SEC Rule 15c3–1 (17

CFR 240.15c3–1) or a ‘‘no-action’’

position issued thereunder. This

includes all foreign stocks in the FTSE

World Index Series.

It is unlawful for any creditor to

make, or cause to be made, any

representation to the effect that the

inclusion of a security on the Foreign

List is evidence that the Board or the

SEC has in any way passed upon the

merits of, or given approval to, such

security or any transactions therein.

Any statement in an advertisement or

other similar communication containing

a reference to the Board in connection

with the Foreign List or the stocks

thereon shall be an unlawful

representation.

There are no additions to the Foreign

List. The following four stocks are being

removed because they no longer

substantially meet the provisions of

§ 220.11(d) of Regulation T:

Public Comment and Deferred Effective

Date

The requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553 with

respect to notice and public

participation were not followed in

connection with the issuance of this

amendment due to the objective

character of the criteria for inclusion

and continued inclusion on the Foreign

List specified in § 220.11(c) and (d). No

additional useful information would be

gained by public participation. The full

requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553 with

respect to deferred effective date have

not been followed in connection with

the issuance of this amendment because

the Board finds that it is in the public

interest to facilitate investment and

credit decisions based in whole or in

part upon the composition of the

Foreign List as soon as possible. The

Board has responded to a request by the

public and allowed approximately a

one-week delay before the Foreign List

is effective.

[Docket No. 2000–NM–256–AD; Amendment

39–12121; AD 2001–04–03]

RIN 2120–AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Empresa

Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.

(EMBRAER) Model EMB–145 Series

Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a

new airworthiness directive (AD),

applicable to certain EMBRAER Model

EMB–145 series airplanes, that requires

inspection of the bolts on the hinge

fittings that attach the spring tab and the

servo tab to the rear spar of the elevators

for evidence of loosening; inspection of

the region of the hinge fittings on the

spring tab for interference of the

bonding jumpers attached to the hinge

fittings with the leading edge of the

spring tab; and corrective action, if

necessary. This amendment is prompted

by issuance of mandatory continuing

airworthiness information by a foreign

airworthiness authority. The actions

specified by this AD are intended to

prevent the spring tab or the servo tab

from becoming disconnected, resulting

in structural failure. The action is also

intended to prevent damage to the

leading edge of the spring tab, which

could result in loss of control of the

elevator.

DATES: Effective March 29, 2001.

The incorporation by reference of

certain publications listed in the

regulations is approved by the Director

of the Federal Register as of March 29,

2001.

ADDRESSES: The service information

referenced in this AD may be obtained

from Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica

S.A. (EMBRAER), P.O. Box 343—CEP

12.225, Sao Jose dos Campos—SP,

Brazil. This information may be

examined at the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), Transport

Airplane Directorate, Rules Docket,

1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton,

Washington; or at the FAA, Atlanta

Aircraft Certification Office, One Crown

Center, 1895 Phoenix Boulevard, suite

450, Atlanta, Georgia; or at the Office of

the Federal Register, 800 North Capitol

Street, NW., suite 700, Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A

proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to

include an airworthiness directive (AD)

that is applicable to certain EMBRAER

Model EMB–145 series airplanes was

published in the Federal Register on

December 8, 2000 (65 FR 76950). That

action proposed to require inspection of

the bolts on the hinge fittings that attach

the spring tab and the servo tab to the

rear spar of the elevators for evidence of

loosening; inspection of the region of

the hinge fittings on the spring tab for

interference of the bonding jumpers

attached to the hinge fittings with the

leading edge of the spring tab; and

corrective action, if necessary.

Comments

Interested persons have been afforded

an opportunity to participate in the

making of this amendment. No

comments were submitted in response

to the proposal or the FAA’s

determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

The FAA has determined that air

safety and the public interest require the

adoption of the rule as proposed.

Cost Impact

The FAA estimates that 71 airplanes

of U.S. registry will be affected by this

AD.

The initial inspection will take 2 work

hours per airplane at an average labor

rate of $60 per hour. Based on these

figures, the cost impact on U.S.

operators of the initial inspection (Part

I) specified in the AD is estimated to be

$8,520, or $120 per airplane.

The cost impact on U.S. operators of

follow-on actions is specified in the

following table:

COST OF FOLLOW-ON ACTIONS

Action Work hours

Cost of

labor/

airplane

Cost of

parts/

airplane

Cost/

Corrective action/Part II ................................................................................................... 6 $360 $71 $431

Corrective action/Part III .................................................................................................. 6 360 2 362

Repetitive inspection/Part IV ........................................................................................... 3 180 0 180

The cost impact figures discussed

above are based on assumptions that no

operator has yet accomplished any of

the requirements of this AD action, and

that no operator would accomplish

those actions in the future if this AD

were not adopted. The cost impact

figures discussed in AD rulemaking

actions represent only the time

necessary to perform the specific actions

actually required by the AD. These

figures typically do not include

incidental costs, such as the time

required to gain access and close up,

planning time, or time necessitated by

other administrative actions.

Regulatory Impact

The regulations adopted herein will

not have a substantial direct effect on

the States, on the relationship between
