This section of the FEDERAL REGISTER contains regulatory documents having general applicability and legal effect, most of which are keyed to and codified in the Code of Federal Regulations, which is published under 50 titles pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 1510. The Code of Federal Regulations is sold by the Superintendent of Documents. Prices of new books are listed in the first FEDERAL REGISTER issue of each week. Rules and Regulations Federal Register 10455 Vol. 74, No. 46 Wednesday, March 11, 2009 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 8 CFR Part 274a [CIS No. 2441–08; Docket No. USCIS–2008– 0001] RIN 1615–AB69 Documents Acceptable for Employment Eligibility Verification; Correction AGENCY : U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, DHS. ACTION : Interim rule; correction. SUMMARY : On December 17, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published an interim rule in the Federal Register amending its regulations governing the types of acceptable identity and employment authorization documents and receipts for completion of the Form I–9, Employment Eligibility Verification. On February 3, 2009, USCIS delayed the effective date of the interim rule until April 3, 2009. On February 23, 2009, DHS published a final rule that amended the same section of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as the interim rule, resulting in an inadvertent error in the interim rule’s amendatory language. This document corrects that inadvertent error. DATES : Effective Date: This correction is effective April 3, 2009. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Stephen McHale, Verification Division, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Department of Homeland Security, 470 L’Enfant Plaza East, SW., Suite 8001, Washington, DC 20529– 2600, telephone (888) 464–4218 or e- mail at Everify@dhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Need for Correction On December 17, 2008, DHS published an interim rule in the Federal Register at 73 FR 76505. The interim rule amended 8 CFR 274a.2 by revising paragraph (b)(1)(v)(A). On February 3, 2009, DHS published a document in the Federal Register at 74 FR 5899, delaying the effective date of the December 17th interim rule until April 3, 2009, and extending the comment period until March 4, 2009. This extension was necessary to allow for further review and consideration of the interim rule by DHS officials. On February 23, 2009, DHS published a final rule in the Federal Register at 74 FR 7993, providing for employer- specific employment authorization for certain aliens lawfully enlisted in the U.S. Armed Forces. The final rule became effective on February 23, 2009, and amended 8 CFR 274a.2 by: • Adding and reserving paragraph (b)(1)(v)(A)( 6 ) and by • Adding paragraph (b)(1)(v)(A)( 7 ). Since the December 17th interim rule becomes effective after the February 23rd final rule, the amendatory language revising 8 CFR 274a.2(b)(1)(v)(A) in the interim rule would inadvertently remove the new paragraph (b)(1)(v)(A)(7) of the final rule. This correction will fix that inadvertent error. Correction of Publication ■ Accordingly, the publication on December 17, 2008 (73 FR 76505) of the interim rule that was the subject of FR Doc. E8–29874 is corrected as follows: PART 274a—CONTROL OF EMPLOYMENT OF ALIENS § 274a.2 [Corrected] ■ 1. On page 76511, in the first column, instruction 2d should be revised to read: ‘‘Revising paragraphs (b)(1)(v)(A)( 1 ) through ( 5 ), and adding paragraph (b)(1)(v)(A)( 6 );’’ ■ 2. On page 76511, in the first column, add an instruction immediately after instruction 2d to read: ‘‘Paragraph (b)(1)(v)(A) is further amended by removing the period at the end of paragraph (b)(1)(v)(A)(6) and adding a ‘‘; ‘‘ in its place.

ACTION : Final rule. SUMMARY : We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 208 and 208B airplanes. This AD requires you to modify the aileron carry-through cable attachment to the aileron upper quadrant with parts of improved design. This AD results from reports of a ‘‘catch’’ in the aileron control system when the control yoke is turned. We are issuing this AD to prevent the cable attach fitting on the aileron upper quadrant assembly from rotating and possibly contacting or interfering with the aileron lower quadrant assembly, which could result in limited roll control and reduced handling capabilities. DATES : This AD becomes effective on April 15, 2009. On April 15, 2009, the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD.

The docket number is FAA–2008–1319; Directorate Identifier 2008–CE–071–AD. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Ann Johnson, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office, 1801 Airport Road, Room 100, Wichita, Kansas 67209; telephone: 316–946– 4105; fax: 316–946–4107; e-mail address: ann.johnson@faa.gov . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Discussion On December 12, 2008, we issued a proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an AD that would apply to certain Cessna Models 208 and 208B airplanes.This proposal was published in the Federal Register as a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on December 18, 2008 (73 FR 76979). The NPRM proposed to require you to modify the aileron carry-through cable attachment to the aileron upper quadrant with parts of improved design. Comments We provided the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We received no comments on the proposal or on the determination of the cost to the public. Conclusion We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for minor editorial corrections. We have determined that these minor corrections: • Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and • Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD affects 794 airplanes in the U.S. registry. We estimate the following costs to do the modification: Labor cost Parts cost Total cost per airplane Total cost on U.S. operators 2 work-hours × $80 per hour = $160 ................................................... Not applicable ............................... $160 $127,040 We estimate the following costs to do any necessary repairs and replacements that will be required based on doing the modification. We have no way of determining the number of airplanes that may need these repairs or replacements. We estimate the following costs to do possible damage repair to the aileron lower quadrant assembly, if necessary: Labor cost Parts cost Total cost per airplane .5 work-hour × $80 per hour = $40 ........................................................................... Not applicable .......................................... $40 We estimate the following costs to do possible removal and installation of the aileron lower quadrant assembly, if necessary: Labor cost Parts cost Total cost per airplane 2 work-hours × $80 per hour = $160 ........................................................................ Not applicable .......................................... $160 We estimate the following costs to do possible removal and installation of the headliner, if necessary: Labor cost Parts cost Total cost per airplane 16 work-hours × $80 per hour = $1,280 ................................................................... Not applicable .......................................... $1,280 Warranty credit will be given for parts and labor to the extent specified in the manufacturer’s service bulletin. 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 AD. Regulatory Findings We have 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.
