SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In November 2005, SBA initiated, on an emergency basis, the GO Loan Pilot, which was designed to provide expedited small business financial assistance to businesses located in those communities severely impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Under this unique initiative, the Agency provides its full (85%) guaranty and streamlined and centralized loan processing to all eligible lenders that agree to make expedited SBA 7(a) loans available to small businesses located in, locating to or re-locating in the parishes/counties that have been Presidentially-declared as disaster areas resulting from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, plus any contiguous parishes/counties. To maximize the effectiveness of the GO Loan Pilot, on November 17, 2005, SBA published a notice in the Federal Register waiving for the GO Loan Pilot certain Agency regulations applicable to the 7(a) Business Loan Program. (70 FR 69645) Since the pilot was designed as a temporary program scheduled to expire on September 30, 2006, the waiver of certain Agency regulations also was due to expire on September 30, 2006. However, the Agency believes that there is a continuing, substantial need for the specific SBA assistance provided by this pilot in the affected areas. As part of a comprehensive federal initiative to assist in the continuing recovery of these highly devastated communities, the Agency believes it is essential that SBA extend this unique E:\FR\FM\29SER1.SGM 29SER1 57398 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 189 / Friday, September 29, 2006 / Rules and Regulations and vital program through September 30, 2007.

SBA’s waiver of these provisions is authorized by Agency regulations. These waivers apply only to those loans approved under the GO Loan Pilot and will last only for the duration of the Pilot, which expires September 30, 2007. As part of the GO Loan Pilot, these waivers apply only to those small businesses located in, locating to or relocating in the parishes/counties that have been Presidentially-declared as disaster areas resulting from Hurricanes Katrina or Rita, plus any contiguous parishes/counties.

ACTION: Final special conditions; request for comments. sroberts on PROD1PC70 with RULES AGENCY: SUMMARY: These special conditions are issued for Boeing Model 767–300 series airplanes. These airplanes, modified by TIMCO Aviation Services, Inc. (TIMCO), will have a novel or unusual design feature associated with a forward lower lobe crew rest module (CRM). The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited The FAA has determined that notice and opportunity for prior public comment is impracticable, because these procedures would significantly delay certification and thus delivery of the affected airplanes. In addition, the substance of these special conditions has been subject to the public comment process in several prior instances with no comments received. The FAA, therefore, finds that good cause exists for making these special conditions effective upon issuance; however, we invite interested people to take part in this rulemaking by sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. We ask that you send us two copies of written comments. We will file in the docket all comments we receive as well as a report summarizing each substantive public contact with FAA personnel concerning these special conditions. You may inspect the docket before and after the comment closing date. If you wish to review the docket in person, go to the address in the ADDRESSES section of this preamble between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. We will consider all comments we receive on or before the closing date for comments. We will consider comments filed late, if it is possible to do so without incurring expense or delay. We may change these special conditions, based on the comments we receive. PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 If you want the FAA to acknowledge receipt of your comments on these special conditions, include with your comments a pre-addressed, stamped postcard on which the docket number appears. We will stamp the date on the postcard and mail it back to you. Background On January 24, 2006, TIMCO Aviation Services, Inc. (TIMCO) applied for a supplemental type certificate to permit installation of a forward lower lobe crew rest module (CRM) in Boeing 767–300 series airplanes. The CRM will be a one-piece, selfcontained unit to be installed under the passenger cabin floor in the aft portion of the forward cargo compartment. It will be mounted on a pallet compatible with the existing cargo loading system and may be easily installed or removed from the aircraft. The CRM will be occupied only in flight—not during taxi, takeoff, or landing—and no more than six crewmembers may occupy it at a time. The module will have an approved berth able to withstand the maximum flight loads for each occupant permitted in it and will contain a smoke detection system, a fire-extinguishing system, an oxygen system, and occupant amenities. The CRM requires two entry hatches in the main deck area. The floor structure will be modified to provide access for the main entry hatch and the emergency access hatch. Type Certification Basis Under the provisions of § 21.101, TIMCO must show that Boeing Model 767–300 series airplanes with the CRM continue to meet either: (1) The applicable provisions of the regulations incorporated by reference in Type Certificate No. A1NM, or (2) The applicable regulations in effect on the date of TIMCO’s application for the change. The regulations incorporated by reference in the type certificate are commonly referred to as the ‘‘original type certification basis.’’ The certification basis for Boeing Model 767–300 series airplanes is 14 CFR part 25, as amended by Amendments 25–1 through 25–37. Refer to Type Certificate No. A1NM for a complete description of the certification basis for this model. According to 14 CFR 21.16, if the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the Boeing Model 767–300 series airplanes because of a novel or unusual design feature, she or he prescribes special conditions for the airplane.

parishes/counties through September 30, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In November 2005, SBA initiated, on an 
emergency basis, the GO Loan Pilot, which was designed to provide 
expedited small business financial assistance to businesses located in 
those communities severely impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. 
Under this unique initiative, the Agency provides its full (85%) 
guaranty and streamlined and centralized loan processing to all 
eligible lenders that agree to make expedited SBA 7(a) loans available 
to small businesses located in, locating to or re-locating in the 
parishes/counties that have been Presidentially-declared as disaster 
areas resulting from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, plus any contiguous 
parishes/counties.
    To maximize the effectiveness of the GO Loan Pilot, on November 17, 
2005, SBA published a notice in the Federal Register waiving for the GO 
Loan Pilot certain Agency regulations applicable to the 7(a) Business 
Loan Program. (70 FR 69645) Since the pilot was designed as a temporary 
program scheduled to expire on September 30, 2006, the waiver of 
certain Agency regulations also was due to expire on September 30, 
2006. However, the Agency believes that there is a continuing, 
substantial need for the specific SBA assistance provided by this pilot 
in the affected areas. As part of a comprehensive federal initiative to 
assist in the continuing recovery of these highly devastated 
communities, the Agency believes it is essential that SBA extend this

is extending its waiver of the certain Agency regulations identified in 
the Federal Register notice at 70 FR 69645 through September 30, 2007.
    SBA's waiver of these provisions is authorized by Agency 
regulations. These waivers apply only to those loans approved under the 
GO Loan Pilot and will last only for the duration of the Pilot, which 
expires September 30, 2007. As part of the GO Loan Pilot, these waivers 
apply only to those small businesses located in, locating to or re-
locating in the parishes/counties that have been Presidentially-
declared as disaster areas resulting from Hurricanes Katrina or Rita, 
plus any contiguous parishes/counties. (A list of all eligible 
parishes/counties is located at http:/www.sba.gov/financing/
