The effect of these amendments is to redefine “ Port Value” by increasing the financing limits for beef and dairy breed ing animals under the CCC Export Credit Sales Program. Interested persons were given 30 days in which to submit written comments, suggestions, or objections related to the proposed amendments. No comments have been received and, therefore, the proposed amendments are adopted with out change and are set forth below. Effective date: Shall be effective upon publication in the F ederal R eg ister (5-10-72). F r a n k G .

The amendment of paragraph A .l. of Supplement I redefines “ port value” by increasing the financing limits for beef breeding animals under the CCC Export Credit Sales Program. As amended, paragraph A .l, of Supplement I to GSM-4, Revision II, reads as follows: 1. “ Port value” means the net amount o f the exporter’s sales price for beef breeding cattle to be exported under the financing agreement, basis f.a.s. or f.o.b. export carrier at U.S. ports, at U.S. border points o f exit, or at U.S. airports i f shipped by air. The point o f exportation for animals shall be desig nated by the Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department o f Agriculture. The port value shall not include the ocean freight for a c&f sale or ocean freight and marine and war risk insurance for a c&f sale, and shall also not include any animal care or servicing cost incurred after such animals are loaded aboard the export carrier. The net amount o f the exporter’s sales price means the con tract price for the animals less any payments FEDERAL REGISTER, V O L 37, NO. 91— WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1972 9384 made by the importer and less any discounts, credits, or allowances to the importer. Such net amounts shall not exceed (a ) for reg istered bulls, $1,350 each or, with prior ap proval o f the Assistant Sales Manager for Commercial Credit and Barter, $2,750 if per formance has been superior to the perform ance records specified in Exhibit I I to this supplement; (b ) for registered females, $750 each or, with prior approval o f the Assistant Sales Manager for Commercial Credit and Barter, $1,100 if performance has been supe rior to the performance records specified in Exhibit I to this supplement; (c) for non- registered females, an average for the sale, o f $500 each or, with prior approval o f the Assistant Sales Manager fo r Commercial Credit and Barter, $700 i f performance has been superior to the performance records specified in said Exhibit I. The difference, if any, between the maximum net amount specified in (a ), (b ), or (c ) o f this para graph A .l. and the contract price for the individual animal, if registered, or the aver age contract price for the individual ani mal, i f nonregistered, shall not be included as part o f the port value. 2. The amendment of paragraph A.l. o f Supplementing U redefines “ port value” by increasing the financing limits for dairy breeding animals under the CCC Export Credit Sales Program. As amended, paragraph A.l. of Supplement H to GSM-4, Revision II, reads as follows: 1. “ Port value” means the net amount o f the exporter’s sales price for dairy breeding cattle to be exported under the financing agreement, basis f.a.s or f.o.b. export carrier at U.S. ports, at U.S. border points o f exit, or at U.S. airports if shipped by air. The point o f exportation for animals shall be designated by the Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department o f Agriculture. The port value shall not include the ocean freight for a c&f sale or ocean freight and marine and war risk insurance for a c&f sale, and shall also not include any animal care or servicing cost incurred after such animals are loaded aboard the export carrier. The net amount o f the exporter’s sales price means the contract price fo r the animals less any payments made by the importer and less any discounts, credits, or allowances to the importer. Such net amount shall not exceed (a) $2,000 each for registered bulls which have an acceptable performance index as set out in paragraph D.I., Exhibit I I to this supplement, or, with prior approval of the Assistant Sales Manager for Commercial Credit and Barter, $3,500 if such animal has a superior performance index as set out in paragraph D.2t o f Exhibit I I ; (b ) $900 each for registered females which have an accept able performance index as set out in para graph D.I., Exhibit I to this supplement, or with prior approval o f the Assistant Sales Manager for Commercial Credit and Barter, $1,500 if such anim al'has a superior per formance index as set out in paragraph D.2. o f Exhibit I; (c) with prior approval o f the Assistant Sales Manager for Commercial Credit and Barter, $1,750 each for registered mature cows which have a superior per formance index as set out in paragraph D.3. o f Exhibit I; (d ) with prior approval o f the Assistant Sales Manager for Commercial Credit and Barter, $925 each for nonregis tered mature cows which have a superior performance index as set out in paragraph D.3. o f Exhibit I; or (e) $750 average for the sale o f nonregistered females, other than mature cows with a superior performance index, if each such animal has an acceptable performance index as set out in paragraph D.l. o f Exhibit I. The difference, if any, be tween the maximum net amount specified RULES AND REGULATIONS in (a ), (b ), (c ), (d ), or (e ) o f this para graph A .l. and the contract price for indi vidual registered animals or nonregistered mature cows with a superior performance index, or the average contract price for non registered females, other than mature cows with a superior performance index, shall not be included as a part o f the port value.

Delete: Nogales, Ariz. (when served from Lochiel, A r iz .). TW O HOURS Add : Nogales, Ariz. (when served from Lochiel, A riz.). Add: Bridgeman, Ludington, Muskegon, and Saginaw, Mich. THREE HOURS Add: Frankfort, Mich. (64 Stafi, 561; 7 U.S.C. 2260) Effective date. The foregoing amend ments shall become effective upon publi cation in the F ederal R eg ister (5-10-72). These commuted travel time periods have been established as nearly as may be practicable to cover the time neces sarily spent in reporting to and returning from the place at which the employee performs such overtime or holiday duty when such travel is performed solely on account of such overtime or holiday duty. Such establishment depends upon facts within the knowledge of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. It is to the benefit of the public that these instructions be made effective at the earliest practicable date. Accord ingly, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, it is found upon good cause that notice and public procedure on these instructions are im practicable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest, and good cause is found for making them effective less than 30 days after publication in the F ederal R eg ister . Done at Washington, D.C., this 4th day of May 1972. E. E. S a u l m o n , Acting Deputy Administrator, Veterinary Services, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. [F R Doc.72-7078 Filed 5-9-72;8:48 am] Title 14— AERONAUTICS AND SPACE Chapter I— Federal Aviation Adminis tration, Department of Transporta tion [Airworthiness Docket No. 72-WE-4-AD, Arndt. 39-1444] PART 39—-AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES Boeing 707 and 720 Series Airplanes A proposal to amend Part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations to include an airworthiness directive requiring re placement of existing escape floor fitting spring pins on the Boeing Model 707 and 720 series airplanes was published in 37 F.R.4919. Interested persons have been afforded an opportunitsrfco participate in the mak ing of the amendment. One comment noted that some air carriers had com pleted inspections or replacements of the floor fittings and, therefore, the 500 hours’ compliance time was unduly re strictive. The comment suggested that the compliance time be extended to 1,500 hours. The leadtime provided by both the date of effectivity after the publication date in the F ederal R eg ister and the specified compliance time is considered adequate. Therefore, in the absence of a substantial basis for further delay, the agency has determined to retain the compliance time as originally proposed. In consideration of the foregoing, and pursuant to the, authority delegated to me by the Administrator (31 F.R. 13697), § 39.13 of the Federal Aviation Regula tion is amended by adding the following new airworthiness directive: Boeing. Applies to 707 and 720 Series air planes utilizing single attachment point escape slides listed in Boeing Service Bul letin 3078, dated January 10, 1972, or later FAA-approved revision. To preclude loss of escape slide retention at the forward and aft passenger doors accomplish the following: W ithin the next 500 hours’ in service after the effective date of the A.D., unless previous ly accomplished, replace the two spring pins in the floor, attach fitting with new spring pins in accordance with Boeing Service Bul letin No. .3078, dated January 10, 1972, or later FAA-approved revision, or equivalent modification approved by the Chief, Aircraft Engineering Division, FAA Western Region. FEDERAL REGISTER, VOL. 37, NO. 91 — WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1972 RULES AND REGULATIONS 9385 This amendment becomes effective June 7, 1972.

[F R Doc.72—7062 Filed 5-9-72:8:46 am] [Airworthiness Docket No. 71—WE—26-AD, Arndt. 39-1443] PART 39— AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES DeHavilland Model D.H. 104 Dove Series 7A, 7AXC, 8A, 8AXC Air planes Modified Per STC SA1747WE (“Carstedt Jet Liner C—600”) A proposal to amend Part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations to include an airworthiness directive requiring either reduced life limits or additional modification of DeHavilland Model D.H. 104 Dove Series 7A, 7AXC, 8A, 8AXC air planes modified per STC SA1747WE (“ Carstedt Jet Liner C-600” ) was pub lished in 37 F.R. 811. Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate in the mak ing of the amendment. Hawker Siddeley Aviation, Ltd., has requested removal of references to “ Hawker Siddeley,” “ De Havilland” and “ Dove” in this and future AD’s concerning these modified aircraft. While the applicability of the proposed rule to aircraft incorporating a particu lar modification (STC SA1747WE) was set forth in the notice of proposed rule making, the adopted rule includes the commonly used popular name designa tion, i.e., the Carstedt Jet Liner C-600. The references contained in the notice are retained in the adopted rule as the appropriate description for the certifica tion of the aircraft, as modified by a supplemental type certificate. Hawker Siddeley Aviation, Ltd., has objected to the statement in the notice that “Hawker Siddeley and the agency have reexamined data pertaining to the use and the safe-life of the fitting and the lower spar boom.” It requests that FAA note that Hawker Siddeley did not reexamine these data as stated in the preamble of the NPRM and that any work done by Hawker Siddeley on the fatigue life of ^standard Dove parts had no bearing on the part designed by another company. This AD applies to aircraft modified in accordance with supplemental type certificates issued by the agency; the AD does not apply to unmodified D.H. 104 Dove aircraft. Data used to support the issuance of STC SA1747WE included data for safe-lives of parts in the unmodified D.H. 104 Dove aircraft. The agency reexamined the data submitted for STC SA1747WE in light of data for safe-lives for parts in the unmodified D.H. 104 Dove aircraft. Hawker Siddeley Aviation, Ltd., has commented that it cannot take any re sponsibility for adequacy of the static strength of the wing center section lower spar boom in the modified aircraft or for the safe-life of 1,800 hours quoted in the Directive. The agency is not, by adoption of this AD, imputing responsibility to Hawker Siddeley for modified aircraft by mere reference to applicable parts on un modified aircraft. An airplane modifica tion may be sufficiently extensive to re quire réévaluation of unmodified parts for new basic static loads and different fatigue spectrums as applicable to the modified configuration. As all instructions required to ac complish the lower spar boom replace ment are contained within a reference to DeHavilland Aircraft Company drawing No. 4-Z-13775, the reference to Hawker Siddeley Technical New Sheet Series C T (104) No. 119 has been deleted. No other written comments were received. In consideration of the foregoing, and pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Administrator (31 F.R. 13697), § 39.13 of Part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations is amended by adding the following new airworthiness directive: Haw ker Siddeley. Applies to DeHavilland Model D.H. 104 Series 7A, 7AXC, 8A, 8AXC airplanes modified per STC SA1747WE certificated in all categories. (Also known as “ Carstedt Jet Liner C-600” .) Compliance required prior to further flight after the effective date o f this AD as indi cated, unless already accomplished. To prevent fatigue failure of a wing main spar lower attach fittin g or o f a wing center section lower spar boom, accomplish the following: (a ) Replace each wing lower spar attach fittin g P/N CPD 2004 installed under STC SA1747WE at or before 1,800 hours’ tim e in service, and at intervals thereafter not to exceed 1,800 hours’ tim e in service, w ith a new attach fitting (Strato Engineering Co., Inc., Part No. CPD 2004). (b ) Replace the wing center section lower spar boom at or before 1,800 hours’ tim e in service, and at intervals thereafter not to exceed 1,800 hours’ tim e in service, in accord ance with DeHavilland Aircraft Go. drawing number 4-Z-13775, or another replacement modification approved by the Chief, Aircraft Engineering Division, FAA Western Region. (c ) I f aircraft are further modified in ac cordance with STC SA2438WE, or an alter nate acceptable modification approved by the Chief, Aircraft Engineering Division, Western Region, replacement of the parts as specified in (a ) and (b ) above, may be discontinued. This amendment becomes effective June 7, 1972.

This design change includes a new sealed slip joint type ex haust system that cannot be inspected utilizing the pressure test procedures specified in AD 70-11-2. In addition, there have been failures of the engine exhaust system components on Cessna Models 411, 414, and 421 series airplanes. These failures are in the form of cracks, breaks, bulging, and joint separation, which, if not corrected, will allow hot exhaust gases to discharge into the en gine compartment resulting in possible hazardous heat damage to adjacent powerplant components. Since production aircraft contain ex haust system components that cannot be pressure tested and exhaust system fa il ures are occurring on certain additional airplanes of the same type design, AD 70-11-2 is being superseded by a new AD which will add Cessna Models 411, 414, and 421 series airplanes and revise the in spection procedures for airplanes that have the latest sealed slip-joint type ex haust system. Since a situation exists which requires expeditious adoption of the amendment to extend compliance on some airplanes and revise inspection procedures, notice and public procedure hereon are imprac ticable and good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than thirty (30) days. In consideration of the foregoing and pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Administrator 14 CFR 11.89 (31 F.R. 13697), § 39.13 of Part 39 o f the Federal Aviation Regulations is amended by adding the following new AD.

Jet Route 152 between the Rosewood VORTAC and Harrisburg VORTAC is presently aligned via a minor dogleg over the West View, Pa., intersection. The dis tance between Rosewood and Harrisburg via this alignment exceeds the normal spacing criteria specified for navigational aids within the Jet Route system. Be cause o f the excessive distance between Rosewood and Harrisburg, the minimum en route altitude (M EA) for the middle portion of this route has been established at flight level 300. The establishment of the MEA at this excessive altitude pro hibits the ultimate use of altitudes along this jet route segment. Additionally, through radar monitoring aircraft utiliz ing J-152 between Rosewood and Harris burg have been observed north of the route centerline in the vicinity of the West View intersection. This reflects in stability of the navigational guidance on this route segment due to the excessive spacing between the Rosewood and Har risburg facilities. To properly provide for better naviga tional guidance and utilization of flight altitudes on this segment of J-152, action is taken herein to realign J—152 segment from Rosewood direct to Johnstown, Pa., VORTAC, direct to Harrisburg. This alignment by including the Johnstown VORTAC in the route description would permit the MEA to be established at 18,- 000 feet MSL and would reduce the en route flight distance by approximately 3 nautical miles. Since a situation exists where safety requires immediate adoption of this amendment, it is found that notice and public procedure thereon are imprac ticable. However, since it is necessary that sufficient time be allowed to permit appropriate changes to be made on aero nautical charts, this amendment will be come effective more than 30 days after publication.

SPR-53] PART 374a— REGULATIONS PUR SUANT TO SECTION 401 OF THE FEDERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN ACT OF 1971 WITH RESPECT TO EX TENSION OF CREDIT BY AIR CAR RIERS TO POLITICAL CANDIDATES Adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board at its office in Washington, D.C., on the 3d day of May 1972. In a notice of proposed rule making, dated March 8, 1972 (SPDRr-29, 37 F.R. 5257), the Board proposed a new Part 374a, pursuant to section 401 of the Fed eral Election Campaign Act o f 1971, with respect to the extension of credit to polit ical candidates by persons regulated by the Civil Aeronautics Board. The notice proposed the following al ternative rules, with a view to adopting such of them as the Board would deter mine to be appropriate in light o f the comments received: (1) Prohibit the fur nishing of air transportation unless the political candidates, or persons acting on their behalf, make full payment in ad vance or provide full security in ad vance; ( 2 ) prohibit the furnishing of air transportation to such political candi dates unless they maintain an account for air transportation on a current bill ing basis, i.e., billings to be made semi monthly with full payment remitted within 14 days after billing; (3) permit carriers to refuse to extend unsecured credit, so that carriers may refuse to provide transportation for political cam paign purposes unless there is full pay ment in advance or full security in ad vance; (4) permit carriers to extend credit on such reasonable terms and con ditions as the carrier in its judgment deems appropriate, so long as the same terms and conditions apply uniformly to all candidates for political office; and (5) require carriers to file special reports with respect to credit extended to politi cal candidates.1 The Board further stated that although it may decide ultimately to adopt only the above reporting re quirement, it tentatively concluded that, should one or more of the other described proposals be adopted, the Board would add thereto such reporting require ment.2 Pursuant to the subject notice, com ments were received from Senator Hugh Scott, U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania; Airline Finance and Accounting Confer ence of the Air Transport Association of America ( A T A ); Northeast Airlines, Inc. (Northeast); and the Democratic Na tional Committee (D N C ). Although the notice provided for reply comments, none was filed. Upon full consideration of the relevant matter contained in the comments, we have decided, for the reasons hereinafter stated, to adopt a combination of the aforedescribed alternatives (2 ) and ( 5 ) of the proposed rule, with modifications. Except as modified herein, the tentative findings set forth in the explanatory statement to the proposed rule are in corporated by reference and made final. Section 401 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (Public Law 92- 225) directs that the Board, the FCC and 1I t was indicated in the notice that each o f these proposals was to be considered separately, and in the final rule any one or more o f them m ight be adopted. 8In the notice (footnote 4, p. 4 m imeo.), the Board tentatively concluded that there is no need to extend the regulation to car riers serving by exemption, and requested comments on this issue. No such comments having been received, the Board’s tentative conclusion will now be made final. FEDERAL REGISTER, VOL. 37, NO. 91— WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1972 the ICC shall each promulgate, on or before May 7, 1972 (90 days after enact ment) , “ its own regulations with respect to the extension of credit, without se curity, by any person regulated by (the respective agency) to any candidate for Federal office (as such term is defined in section 301 of the A c t )), or to any per son on behalf of such a candidate, for goods furnished or services rendered in connection with the campaign of such candidate for nomination for election, or election, to such office.” The legisla tive history of this provision indicates that its purpose was to prevent recur rence of past incidents in which large amounts of unsecured credit were ex tended to political candidates by regu lated industries— particularly air car riers— and substantial portions of the indebtedness so incurred remain uncol lected. Thus, Congress had before it the fact that as of April 30, 1971, there was still owed to the Big Four domestic trunkline carriers over $1.5 million of debts stemming from the 1968 Presi dential campaign.3 The comments in response to the no tice of rule making encompass a broad spectrum of views. At one extreme, Sena tor Scott and the A T A carriers support a prohibition on the extension of any unsecured credit, as embodied in the first alternative proposal in the notice. At the other extreme, the DNC would have the Board rely solely upon a report ing requirement, leaving to each carrier the discretion to determine the extent to which credit should be extended consist ent with its normal credit practices. In the Board’s judgment, neither extreme represents a desirable solution to the problem. On the one hand, a flat prohibi tion on the extension of unsecured credit would deprive political candidates of the ordinary credit facilities which the air carriers generally make available to all segments of the public, and would create undue obstacles to the conduct o f politi cal campaigns. W e are not persuaded that this harsh remedy is necessary to accomplish the remedial purposes of sec tion 401/ On the other hand, the Board cannot accede to the DNC contention that a re porting requirement, without more, would adequately deal with the problem which section 401 was enacted to remedy. While we believe it both necessary and desirable that the Board require public disclosure of debts of air carriers which are incurred by or on behalf of political candidates, we also feel that substantive regulatory ac tion is needed to insulate the carriers from pressures which, in the past, have resulted in the pyramiding of debts by or on behalf of political candidates. 8Congressional Record (daily edition, July 23, 1971), S-11931-2. * We may note in passing that this pro posal would go even beyond that contained in a proposed statutory provision which would have prohibited the extension o f un secured credit to political candidates unless the candidates are billed on a monthly basis and such bills were fu lly paid within 10 days, a proposal which was withdrawn by the proponent on the ground that it was not likely to carry. See Congressional Rec ord (daily ed. Dec. 14, 1971) S-12999. RULES AND REGULATIONS The Board believes that the second of the five alternatives proposed in the notice represents a reasonable accom modation of the conflicting interests. This alternative would prohibit the fur nishing of air transportation to political candidates unless they maintain their credit account for transportation on a current billing basis. I f the account re mains unpaid after the reasonable time prescribed in the rule, the carriers are prohibited from extending any further unsecured credit to or on behalf of the candidates. Protection is thus provided to the carrier by requiring the candidate to maintain a current account, and by preventing political candidates from ac cumulating large unpaid bills, we avoid those practices which have lead to past abuses. Accordingly, we propose to adopt a current billing practice alternative with modifications described below.® Although the proposed rule was ap plicable only to “ air transportation,” as defined in the Federal Aviation Act, the attached rule would apply to all air car riage, whether common or private, in trastate transportation services, and leases of aircraft, with or without crew. The Federal Election Campaign Act does not restrict the air carrier provisions to “ air transportation,” i.e., to interstate, overseas, or foreign common carriage by air. Since noncommon carriage, intra state services, and aircraft under dry lease may be furnished to candidates and give rise to substantial indebtedness, it is the Board’s view that these additional categories should be included consistent with the remedial purposes of the Elec tion Campaign Act. Also, the description in the proposed rule of the “ current billing” alternative (alternative No. (2>), which we are adopting, did not make sufficiently clear the consequences which were intended to follow a default in payment of a carrier’s submitted bill for unsecured credit. The proposal obviously contemplated that a multiplicity of accounts would be main tained by a carrier with respect to a par ticular candidate, since the candidate as well as numerous persons acting on his behalf (such as various committees or ganized to support him) could have sepa rate accounts with the same carrier. Yet, if a default in any single account would result in nothing more than cutting off further extensions of unsecured credit to that particular account, the salutary purpose of the rule could be avoided by the simple expedient of proliferating the number of separate accounts on behalf of 6The third o f our proposed alternatives would permit— but not require— carriers to refuse to extend unsecured credit to political candidates; and the fourth alternative would simply permit the carriers to extend credit on such reasonable terms and conditions as the carrier in its judgment deems appro priate, so long as the same terms and con ditions apply uniform ly to all candidates for political office. We shall not adopt them, since neither o f these alternatives was fa vored by the comments, and neither o f them would effectively curb the abuses which gave rise to this proceeding. I t should be noted that our rule does not require a carrier to extend unsecured credit to any person who is not a satisfactory credit risk. 9387 a single candidate. On the other hand, if default in the account of one person act ing on behalf of a candidate were to result in cutting off further extensions of unsecured credit to all accounts main tained with the affected carrier by that candidate, as well as by all other persons acting on his behalf (even though all such other accounts are not in default), then it seems only reasonable that the candidate should at least have the oppor tunity (a) to screen persons who seek to act on the candidate’s behalf, and (b) to be given specific notice of the default of any person acting on his behalf, so that the default may be cured. We are therefore providing for such opportunity in the final rule. However, in order not to disrupt arrangements already made with air carriers by persons who, al though acting on behalf of a candidate, have not received his written authoriza tion to do so— as the final rule requires— we are providing that this aspect of the rule should apply only to transportation to be performed after June 1, 1972. For transportation performed before that date, a default in any separate account will oblige the carrier to cut off further extention of unsecured credit only to that particular account. The regulation also contains clarify ing provisions with respect to debts which candidates and persons acting on their behalf may incur in connection with purposes other than the campaign of the candidate. Consistent with the statutory limitation in section 401, the prohibition against extension of unse cured credit relates only to credit for transportation in connection with the candidate’s campaign. However, we be lieve that it would not be in keeping with the goals o f the statute to permit the extension of credit for campaign purposes to a person who is in fact in default to a carrier for any indebted ness incurred after the effective date of the part, whatever the source of such indebtedness. Nor do we believe that it would be practicable to expect the car rier to analyze the total indebtedness of such person, so as to separate the portions attributable to Federal election campaign expenses from any other items. This is a problem which may be come particularly difficult in the case of political committees which incur debts for transportation in connection with their general political activities which are not limited to Federal election campaigns. The A T A carriers propose that the billing be made on a monthly rather than a semimonthly basis, consistent with the general billing practices. In the Board’s judgment, a monthly billing would be inadequate to prevent the building up o f large credit balances in the last months prior to the election when campaign activity is at its peak. Accordingly, we will require that billing be made at least twice a month in the months of September and October prior to the November general election. Finally, we are including in § 374a.4 a provision to prohibit the ex tension of credit by the air carrier to a candidate or person acting on his behalf if the air carrier knows that such candi- FEDERAL REGISTER, VOL. 37, NO. 91— WEDNESDAY, M AY 10, 1972 9388 RULES AND REGULATIONS date or person is in default to another carrier. This provision is believed neces sary in order to prevent the evasion o f the spirit of the regulation by the de vice of shifting from one carrier to another after extensions o f credit have been denied because of nonpayment. W e now turn to the reporting require ment. As previously indicated, the fifth alternative proposal— and the one which the Board tentatively concluded should be prescribed in any event— was to re quire carriers to file special semimonthly reports with respect to credit extended to political candidates. All of the com ments favor a reporting requirement, and A T A suggests several modifications thereto which are dealt with below. A reporting requirement is consistent with the Federal Election Campaign Act which requires public disclosure of fi nancial support' of campaign expendi tures. In our judgment, public disclosure o f unpaid air transportation bills should encourage both prompt payment by po litical candidates as well as effective col lection action by the carriers. However, upon consideration o f suggestions con tained in the comments, we shall make the following modifications: ( 1) The re port will be required monthly instead of semimonthly; ( 2 ) an item, age of the unpaid balance, will be added; and ( 3 ) the report will be due on the 20th day rather than the 10th day following the end o f the reporting period. Consistent with our determination to prohibit extensions o f credit for cam paign purposes where the account is in default with respect to transportation furnished for any purpose, the report shall cover debts for all transportation furnished to or on behalf o f the candi date without regard to the relationship o f the transportation to the campaign. The notice proposed that a report be filed with respect to each candidate with an indebtedness balance of over $5,000 on the last day of the month. For pur poses o f the report, all debts incurred on behalf of the candidate are to be ag gregated. In addition, a separate report shall be required with respect to any balance of over $5,000 indebtedness in curred after the effective date of this part by any person to whom the carrier has extended credit as a person acting on behalf o f a candidate. The report with respect to a candi date shall be filed on CAB Form 183, attached hereto as Appendix A; but we are not prescribing a form fo r the reports to be filed with respect to persons acting on behalf of a candidate. A T A would have the Board require the reports on a continuing basis rather than for the period commencing 6 months prior to nomination for election, or 6 months prior to election, until the date of election, as in the proposed rule. We see no need for the reports to be filed on a continuing basis by all carriers during those periods of time when no political campaigns for Federal office are being conducted. However, we shall modify the proposed reporting period so as to require the filing of continuous monthly reports even subsequent to the date o f election so long as accrued debts remain unpaid, i.e., until a carrier can file its first negative report. Thereafter, the carrier will re main free of the reporting requirement hereunder until commencement of the next prescribed reporting period, namely, 6 months prior to date of nomination for election, or date of election, as the case may be.6 In view o f the provision of section 401 of the Federal Election Campaign Act requiring the Board to promulgate these regulations within 90 days after Feb ruary 7,1972, and the amount o f elapsed time which has been necessitated by the public procedures held herein, good cause is found for making the rule effective on less than 30 days’ notice.

Rule 15c3-l generally provides for certain safeguards with respect to the financial responsibility of brokers and dealers, in cluding the requirement that a broker- dealer’s aggregate indebtedness, as de fined in the rule, may not exceed a speci fied per centum o f his net capital, as defined in the rule, and that he must have and maintain a specific minimum net capital. Clause B of paragraph (c) (2) provides, among other things, that assets which cannot be readily converted into cash must be deducted from net worth in the computation of net capital. This provi sion has been cast with the view that assets included in net capital should be sufficiently liquid to enable a broker- dealer to meet his current liabilities and obligations. Questions have arisen, how ever, concerning the application of that principle to clearing fund deposits by members o f a continuous net settlement (CNS) system for the clearance and set tlement of securities transactions where such system is affiliated with a national securities exchange or a registered na tional securities association (clearing agency). Under a CNS system, a clearing agency assumes the role of principal party in the clearance and settlement of both the buying and selling sides of a transaction in securities between members of the clearing agency (clearing members). As a result of the risks thereby assumed by such CNS clearing agencies, clearing funds have been established and main tained through deposits by clearing members for use in payment of the lia bilities of clearing members to the clear ing agencies or the general liabilities of the clearing agencies which arise as a result of their clearing and settling activities. Such funds are essential to the continued operation and financial se curity of CNS clearing agencies, and, as noted in the Commission’s Study of Un safe and Unsound Practices of Brokers and Dealers (the Study), the facilitation of clearance procedures through respon sible clearing organizations is a matter to be fostered.1 A1 but one of the clearing agencies using the CNS system have es tablished such clearing funds.2 We have been informed by the Na tional Clearing Corp. (NC C), a corpo ration formed by the National Associa tion of Securities Dealers (NASD) to operate its nationwide CNS clearing agency, that a number of broker-dealers have expressed their hesitation to become members of NCC because of the possibil ity that Rule 15c3-l(c) (2) (17 CFR 240.- 15c3-l(c) (2) ) might be interpreted to require all deposits, of any nature what ever, to NCC’s clearing fund be deducted from members’ net worth in thé com putation of their net capital, and that such deduction could have a substantial impact on the amount of such broker- dealers’ net capital. Such hesitancy could substantially impair the growth and ef fectiveness of NCC and similar clearing agencies whose establishment has been found in the Study to be essential to the efficient conduct by the securities indus try of clearance and settlement proce dures. Because of the importance of foster ing systems for the clearance and settle ment of securities transactions, because CNS systems appear to offer substantial reductions in the movement of share certificates, and because deposits to clear ing funds are actually available for use 1H.R. Doc. No. 92-231, 92d Cong., first sess. 3, 5-6,31,168, 174-5 (1971). 2 Clearing agencies using the CNS system have been established by the Midwest Stock Exchange, the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange and the NASD; the latter organization oper ates its clearing agency function through the National Clearing Corp. The rules o f the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange Clearing Corp. do not provide for a clearing fund. to meet members’ current obligations to clearing agencies, the Commission hereby amends clause (B ) of Rule 15c3-l (c) ( 2 ) and adopts new paragraphs (c )(9 ) and (c)(1 0 ) to Rule 15c3-l to provide that clearing fund deposits by clearing members of clearing agencies using a CNS system for the clearance and settlement of securities transactions need not be deducted from such members’ net worth in the computation of net capital under paragraph (c) ( 2 ). Although the above-stated exception is now being adopted with respect to the calculation of net capital, persons a f fected by such rule change should be aware that both the Commission and the NASD have the entire net capital rule under review. Such review will include the amendments adopted herein. Commission action.

In the matter o f amendment of Part 64 of the rules to provide for regulations covering the ex tension of credit to candidates, or to other persons on behalf of candidates, fo r Federal office, Docket No. 19476. 1. In our March 15, 1972, notice of proposed rule making herein (37 F.R. 5965; Mar. 23, 1972), we invited com ments on or before April 7, 1972, on pro posed regulations to govern the exten sion by communication common carriers of unsecured credit to or on behalf of candidates for Federal office. Under sec tion 401 of the Federal Election Cam paign Act of 1971 (Campaign A ct) 1 we are obligated to promulgate such regu lations by May 7,1972. 2. In response to our notice timely comments were filed by the following: American Telephone & Telegraph Co. (A T & T ). Continental Telephone Corp. (C T C ). Democratic National Committee (D N C ). GTE Telephone Operating Cos. (GTE— 19 operating companies). Senator Hugh Scott. United UtUities, Inc. (U U I). The Western Union Telegraph Co. (W U ). Wisconsin Public Service Commission (P S C ). 3. W e have given careful consideration to all of the comments that have been submitted to us and it is our conclusion that in the light of these comments, we should adopt the rules as proposed with the following described changes: (a) In our proposed rule on definitions we made only a cross-reference to section 3,01 of the Campaign Act for definitions of “ candidate,” “ election,” “ Federal o f fice,” and “ person.” In our final rules we are eliminating this cross-reference and setting forth the pertinent text of these definitions in our final rules (§ 64.803 (a ), (b ), (c ), and ( d ) ) . (b) Also, in our proposed definition of “ unsecured credit” we did not make en tirely clear how often the carrier is re quired to review, and, if necessary, to revise its estimate of future usage for purposes of determining the security that may be required from customers. In our final rules, we specify that such review shall be made on at least a monthly basis (§ 64.803(e)). (c) In our proposed rule requiring dis continuance of service for nonpayment of bills, we specified that a carrier must give a customer a period of 30 days after a bill is rendered to pay the charges due and, if the bill is not paid within that 30- day period, th carrier must then give 10 days written notice to pay within that 10-day period or service will be cut off. 1“ Sec. 401. The Civil Aeronautics Board, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Interstate Commerce Commission shall each promulgate, within 90 days after the date o f enactment of this Act, its own regulations with respect to the extension of credit, without security, by any person regu lated b y such Board or Commission to any candidate for Federal office (as such term is defined in section 301(c) o f the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971), or to any person on behalf of such a candidate, for goods furnished or services rendered in con nection with the campaign o f such candidate for nomination for election or election, to such office.” FEDERAL REGISTER, VOL. 37, NO. 91— WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1972 RULES AND REGULATIONS 9393 In our final rules we are shortening these periods to 15 days and 7 days respectively (8 64.804(d)). (d) In our proposed rule requiring re ports on extensions of unsecured credit we would have required quarterly reports after the first one on January 31, 1973. We are changing this to require reports semiannually instead of quarterly. 4. The changes referred to above in subparagraphs a and b are clarifying in nature; the revision in d above will re duce the number of reports required from carriers; and the change referred to in c above is in response to the contentions of several parties objecting to the pro posed rule which would require 40 days to run during which a candidate or person in his behalf could run up a sizeable un paid account before service could be cut off. We believe that political candidates and persons in their behalf should be given a reasonable time within which to raise money and Ray the communications bills before service is cut off. However, we agree that the 40-day period may be too long and our revision to 22 days is a fair compromise between our 40-day proposal and the contentions made here in that the carrier should be able to cut off service immediately upon nonpay ment of a bill. 5. W e decline to reflect in our final rules certain requests or proposals made herein by one or more parties and it may be useful to state our reasons as to the more significant of these. Requests are made that we adopt a single ju le banning any and all unsecured credit to candi dates or persons on their behalf. A l though we believe that we could adopt such a rule under the general and spe cific rule making powers granted to us under the pertinent provision of the Communications Act, we are here con cerned with implementing the intent of Congress under the Campaign Act. In respect to this particular statute Congress was urged to impose a flat ban on unsecured credit, but Con gress refused to do so. The legisla tive history indicates that Congress was concerned that the affluent candidate not be favored unduly over the less afflu ent. In view of this legislative back ground, we do not believe that we should flatly forbid carriers from extending un secured credit to candidates or persons in their behalf whenever, in the judg ment of the carrier, such unsecured credit appears warranted. Moreover, if we were to go beyond the apparent in tent of Congress and prohibit any and all unsecured credit to Federal candi dates or persons in their behalf, we would be concerned that this would be unduly discriminatory against such candidates in favor of other users who can obtain service on credit unless we also imposed the same flat ban against credit for all customers. We are not prepared to take aThe Commission, on its own motion, is also relaxing the requirements so as to re quire rep
