ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY:

The Rural Housing Service, an Agency under USDA Rural Development, is amending its regulations to change the due date of the annual guarantee fee for the Section 538 Guarantee Rural Rental Housing loans. The annual fee is a non-refundable amount that the lender must pay each year that the loan guarantee remains in effect. Currently, the Finance Office in St. Louis calculates annual fees manually since the borrower submissions of December 31 year-end financial information are not loaded into their automated systems by January 1, when annual fees are due.

The Finance Office has requested that the annual fee due date be changed from January 1 to February 28 to allow their automated systems to be uploaded with December 31 year-end information thus enabling them to automate the annual fee calculation process. DATES: *Effective Date:* This rule is effective April 4, 2008. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: C.B. Alonso, Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program, Multi Family Housing Processing Division, USDA Rural Development, STOP 0781, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20250-0781;

Telephone: 202-720-1624; FAX: 202-205-5066; E-mail: *cb.alonso@wdc.usda.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Classification This has been reviewed under Executive Order 12866. The rule has been determined not to be significant for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Regulatory Flexibility Act The Agency Administrator has determined that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

New provisions included in this rule will not impact a substantial number of small entities to a greater extent than large entities. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis was not performed. Public Comments The Agency received no comments from the publication of the Proposed Rule in the **Federal Register** on October 4, 2006 [Volume 71 **Federal Register** 58545-58546]. Paperwork Reduction Act There are no new reporting or recordkeeping requirements associated with this rule.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act This rule contains no Federal mandates (under the regulatory provisions of title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995) for State, local, and tribal governments or the private sector. Thus, this rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. Environmental Impact Statement This document has been reviewed in accordance with 7 CFR part 1940, subpart G, “Environmental Program.” The Agency has determined that this action does not constitute a major Federal action affecting significantly the quality of the human environment, and, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, Public Law 91-190, an Environmental Impact Statement is not required.

Programs Affected The program affected is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance under Number 10.438—Rural Rental Housing Guaranteed Loans. Intergovernmental Consultation For the reasons contained in the Final Rule related Notice to 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V, this program, 10.438—Rural Rental Housing Guaranteed Loans, is subject to Executive Order 12372 which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and local officials. The Agency has conducted intergovernmental consultation in the manner delineated in RD Instruction 1940-J.

Executive Order 13132, Federalism The policies contained in this rule do not have any substantial direct effect on States, the relationship between the National Government and the States, or the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Nor does this rule impose substantial direct compliance costs on State and local Governments. Therefore, consultation with the States is not required. Discussion Rural Development administers the Section 538 Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program (GRRHP) under the authority of the Housing Act of 1949.

Under the GRRHP, Rural Development guarantees loans for the development of housing and related facilities for low or moderate-income families in rural areas. Rural Development is amending 7 CFR 3565.53(b) to change the due date of the annual guarantee fee. The annual fee is a non-refundable amount that the lender must pay each year that the loan guarantee remains in effect. Currently, the Finance Office in St. Louis calculates annual fees manually since the borrower submissions of December 31 year-end financial information are not loaded into the Finance Office's automated systems by January 1, when annual fees are due.

The Finance Office has requested that the annual fee due date be changed from January 1 to February 28 to allow their automated systems to be uploaded with December 31 year-end information. The revision of 7 CFR 3565.53(b) will facilitate the automation of the annual fee calculation process. Rural Development has been charging this fee since the inception of the GRRHP and is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 1490p-2(g) and is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 1490p-2(u) to retain this fee to offset the cost of the guarantee.

List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 3565 Guaranteed loans, Low and moderate income housing, Surety bonds. For the reasons set forth in the preamble, Title 7, Chapter XXXV of the Code of Federal Regulations is amended as follows: PART 3565—GUARANTEED RURAL RENTAL HOUSING PROGRAM 1. The authority citation for part 3565 continues to read as follows: Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301; 7 U.S.C. 1989; 42 U.S.C. 1480. Subpart B—Guarantee Requirements 2. Section 3565.53(b) is revised to read as follows: § 3565.53 Guarantee fees.

(b)*Annual guarantee fee.* An annual guarantee fee of at least 50 basis points (one-half percent) of the outstanding principal amount of the loan will be charged each year or portion of a year that the guarantee is in effect. This fee will be collected on February 28, of each calendar year. Dated: February 19, 2008. Russell T. Davis, Administrator, Rural Housing Service. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive

(AD)for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information

(MCAI)issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: Defective inlet self-seal valves have been identified. Detachment of a seal inside the valve could result in partial or complete blockage of the burner supply. On a hopper balloon this failure would result in an uncontrolled descent. In some circumstances this could result in serious injury. This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI. DATES: This AD becomes effective March 25, 2008. On March 25, 2008, the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD. We must receive comments on this AD by April 4, 2008. ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods: • *Federal eRulemaking Portal:* Go to *http://www.regulations.gov.* Follow the instructions for submitting comments. • *Fax:*

(816)329-4090. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion The Civil Aviation Authority, which is the aviation authority for the United Kingdom, has issued AD No: G-2008-0002, dated January 14, 2008 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states: Defective inlet self-seal valves have been identified. Detachment of a seal inside the valve could result in partial or complete blockage of the burner supply. On a hopper balloon this failure would result in an uncontrolled descent. In some circumstances this could result in serious injury. The MCAI requires you inspect fuel gas cylinder to identify whether the cylinder liquid valve is from the affected batch of valves and replace any self-seal valve found from the affected batch. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket. Relevant Service Information Cameron Balloons Ltd. has issued Service Bulletin No. SB16, dated January 8, 2008; and Service Bulletin No. SB17, dated January 8, 2008. The actions described in this service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI. FAA's Determination and Requirements of the AD This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, they have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all information provided by the State of Design Authority and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design. This design cylinder liquid valve may also be installed on balloon models of Cameron Balloons USA. The corrective actions in the AD are specified to Cameron Balloons Ltd. Models, for which the United Kingdom is the State of Design. We are currently evaluating other valve installations on Cameron Balloons USA, for which the United States is the State of Design. We are evaluating these other installations and, based on the evaluation, may consider additional rulemaking on this subject. Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information provided in the MCAI and related service information. We might have also required different actions in this AD from those in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are described in a separate paragraph of the AD. These requirements take precedence over those copied from the MCAI. FAA's Determination of the Effective Date An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of this AD. The FAA has found that the risk of the flying public justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because detachment of a seal inside the valve could result in partial or complete blockage of the burner supply. This failure could result in an uncontrolled descent and serious injury. Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days. Comments Invited This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include “Docket No. FAA-2008-0195; Directorate Identifier 2008-CE-008-AD” at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD of those comments. We will post all comments we receive, without change, to *http://www.regulations.gov* , including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this AD. 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 We determined that 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. We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this AD and placed in the AD docket.

Subject

(d)Air Transport Association of America

(ATA)Code 28: Fuel. Reason

(e)The mandatory continuing airworthiness information

(MCAI)states: Defective inlet self-seal valves have been identified. Detachment of a seal inside the valve could result in partial or complete blockage of the burner supply. On a hopper balloon this failure would result in an uncontrolled descent. In some circumstances this could result in serious injury. The MCAI requires you inspect the fuel cylinder to identify whether the cylinder liquid valve is from the affected batch of valves and replace any self-seal valve found from the affected batch. Actions and Compliance

(f)Unless already done, do the following actions.

(1)Before further flight as of March 25, 2008. (the effective date of this AD), inspect any gas cylinder to identify whether the cylinder liquid valve is from the affected batch of valves following Cameron Balloons Ltd. Service Bulletin No. SB16, dated January 8, 2008; and Cameron Balloons Ltd. Service Bulletin No. SB17, dated January 8, 2008.

(2)For single cylinder balloons or multi-cylinder hopper balloons: Before further flight, if you find any cylinder liquid valve from the affected batch (rego-type cylinder liquid valve P/N CB-0824-0001 which is date-stamped from 12/05 through 08/06) installed as a result of the inspection required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, replace the self-seal valve following Cameron Balloons Ltd. Service Bulletin No. SB16, dated January 8, 2008; and Cameron Balloons Ltd. Service Bulletin No. SB17, dated January 8, 2008.
