PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Boeing Model 737–600, –700, –700C, –800, –900, and –900ER series airplanes. The existing AD currently requires repetitive detailed inspections of the slat track downstop assemblies to verify that proper hardware is installed, one-time torquing of the nut and bolt, and corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD would also require replacing the hardware of the down stop assembly with new hardware of the down stop assembly, doing a detailed inspection or a borescope inspection of the slat cans on each wing and the lower rail of the slat main tracks for debris, replacing the bolts of the aft side guide with new bolts, and removing any debris found in the slat can. This proposed AD also would remove airplanes from the applicability. This proposed AD results from reports of parts coming off the main slat track downstop assemblies. We are proposing this AD to prevent loose or missing parts from the main slat track downstop assemblies from falling into the slat can and causing a puncture, which could result in a fuel leak and consequent fire. DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 25, 2010. E:\FR\FM\11JAP1.SGM 11JAP1

I. Background

    On October 28, 2009 (74 FR 55694-55721), SBA issued a Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). In that document, SBA proposed to make a 
number of changes to the regulations governing the 8(a) BD Program 
Regulations and several changes to its Small Business Size Regulations. 
Some of the changes involve technical issues. Other changes are more 
substantive and result from SBA's experience in implementing the 
current regulations. In addition to written comments, SBA is requesting 
oral comments on the various approaches for the proposed changes.

II. Public Hearings

    The public meeting format will consist of a panel of SBA 
representatives who will preside over the session. The oral and written

consideration. Written testimony may be submitted in lieu of oral 
testimony. SBA will analyze the testimony, both oral and written, along 
with any written comments received. SBA officials may ask questions of 
a presenter to clarify or further explain the testimony. The purpose of 
the public meetings is to allow the general public to comment on SBA's 
proposed rulemaking. SBA requests that the comments focus on the 
proposed changes as stated in the NPRM. SBA requests that commentors do 
not raise issues pertaining to other SBA small business programs. 
Presenters may provide a written copy of their testimony. SBA will
