Orlich, Senior Counsel, Office of General Counsel, Farm Credit Administration, McLean, VA 22102– 5090, (703) 883–4020, TTY (703) 883– 4020. On November 17, 2005, FCA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register to amend regulations in parts 652 and 655 that establish a risk-based capital stress test for the Corporation as required by section 8.32 of the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended (12 U.S.C. 2279bb–1). See 70 FR 69692, November 17, 2005. The 90-day comment period on the proposed rule was scheduled to expire on February 15, 2006, but was extended for 60 days to April 17, 2006, in a Federal Register notice published on February 13, 2006, in response to a request for additional time. See 71 FR 7446, February 13, 2006. The FCA has now received requests from both a commercial bank and several Farm Credit System institutions to delay action on the rule until they have had sufficient time to prepare comments. These parties indicate additional time is needed to respond to this highly technical and complex proposed rule. In response to these requests, we are reopening the comment period until May 17, 2006. The FCA supports public involvement and participation in its regulatory process and invites all interested parties to review and provide their comments on the proposed rule. The FCA does not anticipate any further extensions to the comment period. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dated: April 20, 2006. Roland E. Smith, Secretary, Farm Credit Administration Board. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). AGENCY: SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT9D–7R4G2 turbofan engines. This proposed AD would require replacing the old configuration 2nd stage high pressure turbine (HPT) air seal assembly with a new design 2nd stage HPT air seal assembly that increases cooling air flow. This proposed AD results from a report of an uncontained failure of the 2nd stage air seal assembly, caused by the air seal assembly brace disengaging from the air seal, due to insufficient cooling air flow. We are proposing this AD to prevent uncontained failure of the 2nd stage HPT air seal assembly, leading to engine in-flight shutdown and damage to the airplane. DATES: We must receive any comments on this proposed AD by June 26, 2006. ADDRESSES: Use one of the following addresses to comment on this proposed AD. • DOT Docket Web site: Go to https://dms.dot.gov and follow the instructions for sending your comments electronically. • Government-wide rulemaking Web site: Go to https://www.regulations.gov and follow the instructions for sending your comments electronically. • Mail: Docket Management Facility; U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Nassif Building, Room PL–401, Washington, DC 20590– 0001. • Fax: (202) 493–2251. • Hand Delivery: Room PL–401 on the plaza level of the Nassif Building, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
