The SBA is publishing this notice at least 120 days before the expected refunding date. The SBDCs and their mailing addresses are listed below in the address section. A copy of this notice also is being furnished to the respective State single points of contact designated under the Executive Order.

The FAA is revising an earlier NPRM for an airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Airbus airplane models, as specified above. The original NPRM would have required modifying the thermal insulation system of certain fuselage frames, and modifying the fuselage drainage system. The original NPRM would also have required revising the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program to include inspections for corrosion or cracking in the subject areas. The original NPRM was prompted by reports of corrosion in the lower part of the pressure bulkhead at certain fuselage frames. This action revises the original NPRM by expanding the applicability to include additional airplanes. We are proposing this supplemental NPRM to prevent accumulation of condensation in the insulation blankets of certain fuselage frames, which could cause corrosion that could result in reduced structural integrity of the fuselage and consequent rapid decompression of the airplane.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 767 airplanes. This proposed AD would require modifying a relay installation and associated wiring of the engine cowl anti-ice system and performing a functional test of the thrust reverser system. This proposed AD would also require replacing the operational program software of certain indicating/recording systems. This proposed AD is prompted by numerous operator reports of failures of the lock flexshaft of the thrust reverser actuation system (TRAS) between the upper actuator and the TRAS lock. We are proposing this AD to prevent high power in-flight deployment of a thrust reverser, which could cause high roll force and consequent departure from controlled flight.
