The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for the public, FDA advisory committee members, and FDA staff entitled ``Guidance for the Public, FDA Advisory Committee Members, and FDA Staff: Public Availability of Advisory Committee Members' Financial Interest Information and Waivers.'' This draft guidance is intended to help the public, FDA advisory committee members, and FDA staff to understand and implement FDA procedures regarding public availability of information regarding certain financial interests and waivers granted by FDA to permit individuals to participate in an advisory committee meeting. The draft guidance would provide even greater transparency to FDA's advisory committee process than current guidance. The draft guidance announced in this notice, when finalized, would replace guidance of the same title dated August 2008.

The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council's (MAFMC) Ad Hoc Search Committee will hold a closed meeting.

This document proposes superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Model HH-1K, TH-1F, TH-1L, UH-1A, UH-1B, UH-1E, UH- 1F, UH-1H, UH-1L, and UH-1P helicopters; and Southwest Florida Aviation Model SW204, SW204HP, SW205, and SW205A-1 helicopters, manufactured by Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. (BHTI) for the Armed Forces of the United States. That AD currently requires updating the product identification, extending the application of the AD to other helicopter models, continuing the existing retirement time for certain main rotor tension- torsion (TT) straps, and adding the TT strap part numbers to the applicability. This action proposes to require removing certain serial- numbered TT straps from service, reduce the retirement life for other TT straps, and establish a retirement life in terms of calendar time in addition to hours time-in-service (TIS) for certain other affected TT straps. This action would also add two model helicopters to the applicability of the AD. This proposal is prompted by fatigue cracking in certain TT straps that have stainless steel filament windings and a determination that corrosion damage, which is related to calendar time, necessitates a calendar time retirement life for certain TT straps in addition to the retirement life based on hours TIS. This proposal is also prompted by fatigue cracking in other TT straps with encased thin stainless steel plates. These proposals are based on the service history of helicopters that are the same or similar in type design to the helicopters to which this AD would apply. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent failure of a TT strap, loss of a main rotor blade, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

The Forest Service is proposing the Beaverslide Timber Sale and Fuel Treatment Project to provide timber products to local economies and to reduce hazardous fuels in strategically located high- risk areas around communities in the vicinity of Ruth, California. The Beaverslide planning area encompasses approximately 13,236 acres; 11,757 acres are National Forest System (NFS) lands and 1,479 acres are in private ownership. The project would treat approximately 5,500 acres of NFS lands by harvesting timber through thinning on approximately 2,800 acres, and reducing fuels on an additional 2,700 acres.

Summary of Application: Applicants request an order that would permit them to enter into and materially amend subadvisory agreements without shareholder approval and would grant relief from certain disclosure requirements.
