ACTION: Final rule; determination of applicability of regulations.

The Foreign List is published twice a year by the Board. EFFECTIVE DATE: March 1, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Listed below is a complete edition of the Board’s Foreign List, which was last published on October 27, 1998 (63 FR 57237), and became effective November 9, 1998. The Foreign List is composed of foreign equity securities that qualify as foreign margin stock 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 on the Financial Times/Standard & Poor’s Actuaries World Indices. 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.

[FR Doc. 99–4349 Filed 2–22–99; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6210–01–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. 98–NM–118–AD; Amendment 39–11049; AD 99–04–24] RIN 2120–AA64 Airworthiness Directives; Aerospatiale Model ATR72 Series Airplanes Federal Aviation Administration, DOT. ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Aerospatiale Model ATR72 series airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection to detect damage of certain anchor nuts located on the upper surface of the wings, and replacement of the anchor nuts with new or serviceable nuts, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of anchor nuts on the upper surface of the wings, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane. DATES: Effective March 30, 1999. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of March 30, 1999. ADDRESSES: The service information referenced in this AD may be obtained from Aerospatiale, 316 Route de Bayonne, 31060 Toulouse, Cedex 03, SUMMARY: France. 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 Office of the Federal Register, 800 North Capitol Street, NW., suite 700, Washington, DC. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Norman B. Martenson, Manager, International Branch, ANM–116, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055–4056; telephone (425) 227–2110; fax (425) 227–1149. 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 Aerospatiale Model ATR72 series airplanes was published in the Federal Register on June 4, 1998 (63 FR 30425). That action proposed to require a one-time inspection of certain anchor nuts located on the upper surface of the wings to detect damage, and replacement of the anchor nuts with new or serviceable nuts, if necessary. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate in the making of this amendment. Due consideration has been given to the single comment received. Request To Reference Latest Service Bulletin The commenter requests that the proposed AD be revised to reference Avions de Transport Regional Service Bulletin ATR72–57–1019, Revision 1, dated May 12, 1998, as an additional source of service information for accomplishment of the actions specified in the proposal. The commenter states that Revision 1 is essentially identical to the original issue, which was cited as the appropriate source of service information for accomplishment of the actions specified in the proposed AD, and merely adds additional explanations and editorial corrections that do not affect the airplanes already inspected and repaired in accordance with the original service bulletin. The FAA concurs with the commenter’s request to reference the latest service bulletin. The FAA has reviewed Revision 1 of the service bulletin and finds it is an acceptable method of compliance for accomplishment of the actions required by this AD. The final rule has been revised accordingly.
