  <title><![CDATA[  Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747-100B SUD, 747-200B,  747-300, 747-400, and 747-400D Series Airplanes]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-11-23-07-5794</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive 
(AD) that applies to all Boeing Model 747100B SUD, 747300, 747400, 
and 747400D series airplanes; and Model 747200B series airplanes 
having a stretched upper deck. The existing AD currently requires 
repetitively inspecting for cracking or discrepancies of the fasteners 
in the tension ties, shear webs, and frames at body stations 1120 
through 1220, and performing related investigative and corrective 
actions if necessary. This new AD reduces the repetitive interval for 
certain inspections. This AD results from new reports of multiple 
severed adjacent tension ties, in addition to the previous reports of 
cracked and severed tension ties, broken fasteners, and cracks in the 
frame, shear web, and shear ties adjacent to tension ties for the upper 
deck. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the 
tension ties, shear webs, and frames of the upper deck, which could 
result in rapid decompression and reduced structural integrity of <script type="text/javascript">

  <title><![CDATA[  Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 727 Airplanes ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-11-23-E7-22814</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness 
directive (AD) that applies to certain Boeing Model 727 series 
airplanes. The existing AD currently requires repetitive inspections to 
detect cracks and loose brackets of the elevator rear spar, and 
corrective actions if necessary. The existing AD also provides for an 
optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This 
proposed AD would reduce the repetitive intervals of the inspections, 
mandate the previously optional terminating action for the repetitive 
inspections, and no longer allow stopdrilling. This proposed AD 
results from new reports of cracks, elongated fastener holes, and loose 
fittings of the elevator rear spar. We are proposing this AD to prevent 
cracking of the elevator rear spar at the tab hinge locations, which 
could cause excessive freeplay of the elevator control tab and possible 
tab flutter, and consequent loss of control of the airplane.

  <title><![CDATA[  Consumer Information; Rating Program for Child Restraint Systems]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-11-23-E7-22912</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ In response to Section 14(g) of the Transportation Recall 
Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act, the 
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration established a child 
restraint consumer information rating program. This program conducts a 
yearly assessment on the ease of using addon child restraints and 
provides these ratings to the public. The program has been successful 
in encouraging child restraint manufacturers to improve their harness 
designs, labels, and manuals such that most now receive the top rating. 
However, some recent research, as well as a February 2007 public 
meeting held by the agency on the Lower Anchors and Tethers for 
Children (LATCH) system has indicated that some features that make 
child restraints easier to use are not being captured by the current 
program. Additionally, the agency wants to make sure that the program 
continues to provide useful information to the public. In an effort to 
further enhance the program and provide consumers with updated

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-11-23-E7-22861</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This document announces receipt by the National Highway 
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of a petition for a decision that 
1992 Alfa Romeo Spyder passenger cars that were not originally 
manufactured to comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety 
standards (FMVSS) are eligible for importation into the United States 
because (1) they are substantially similar to vehicles that were  originally manufactured for sale in the United<br/> [[Page 65834]]<br/>
States and that were certified by their manufacturer as complying with 
the safety standards, and (2) they are capable of being readily altered 
to conform to the standards.
