The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a Boeing investigation for manufacturing errors and excessive preload forces at the lower side of body (SOB) splice plates common to the lower outboard wing skins. That investigation concluded that shim gaps may have exceeded engineering allowances, and high pull up forces on the components may cause fatigue cracks to form at the fastener holes. This AD requires, depending on configuration, repetitive ultrasonic (UT) inspections at certain splice plates, rear spar terminal fittings, lower chords, front spar terminal fittings, and jack pads for any cracks; repetitive detailed inspections (DET) of certain splice plates for any cracks; and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of alpha-d-glucopyranoside, beta-d- fructofuranosyl, mixed palmitates and stearates (CAS Reg. No. 84066-95- 5) when used as an inert ingredient (surfactant) on growing crops pre- harvest at no more than 12% of the final pesticide formulation. Elicit Plant S.A.S submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of alpha-d- glucopyranoside, beta-d-fructofuranosyl, mixed palmitates and stearates, when used in accordance with the terms of this exemption.
