See below under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for additional details on the background and purpose of the meeting. DATES: To be assured of timely consideration, all written comments or suggestions are requested no later than February 3, 2010. ADDRESSES: Written comments or suggestions should be e-mailed (WingRD@state.gov) or faxed ((202) 647– 1052) to Robert Wing, U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Oceans, Environment, and Science, Office of Environmental Policy, with the subject line ‘‘Meeting of the U.S.-Morocco Working Group on Environmental Cooperation.’’ For those with access to the Internet, comments may be submitted at the following address: https://www.regulations.gov/search/ Regs/home.html#home. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Wing, telephone (202) 647–6780. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In paragraph five of the U.S.-Morocco Joint Statement on Environmental Cooperation, the United States and Morocco announced the establishment of a Working Group on Environmental Cooperation intended to meet regularly. The mandate of the Working Group is to advance environmental protection in Morocco by developing cooperative environmental activities that take into account environmental priorities and that are agreed to by the two Governments. The Working Group will develop a Plan of Action towards meeting this goal. The 2005–2007 Plan of Action focused on a set of mutually identified VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:22 Jan 26, 2010 Jkt 220001 goals which will advance environmental protection in Morocco and will assist Morocco in meeting its obligations under the U.S.-Morocco Free Trade Agreement. These goals were: (1) Strengthening the capacity to develop, implement and enforce environmental laws and regulations, (2) encouraging the development of incentives and voluntary mechanisms to contribute to the achievement and maintenance of high levels of environmental protection, (3) promoting opportunities for public participation in environmental protection efforts and improving public access to information and access to justice on environmental issues, (4) protecting coastal environmental zones and estuaries and preventing the overexploitation of fisheries resources, (5) safeguarding important natural resources, such as water, and protected areas in Morocco, and (6) promoting the growth of the environmental-technology business sector. Some indicative actions undertaken in these areas have included workshops on environmental impact assessment and the use of economic incentives for environmental decision making. Ongoing work includes: Assistance to Morocco on enhanced compliance with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES) through legislation; technical assistance for a plan to enforce environmental rules in the textile sector; and development of a plan to manage waste from olive oil factories. The United States Agency for International Development, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Commerce, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Agriculture and the Trade and Development Agency and others have been involved in implementing these activities. Officials from U.S. and Moroccan agencies will present and discuss their activities at the Working Group meeting. The 2010– 2012 Plan of Action will seek to build upon the progress made in the previous Plan of Action and will detail cooperative activities in four main priority areas: Institutional and policy strengthening; biodiversity conservation and improved management of protected areas; improved private sector environmental performance; and environmental education, transparency, and public participation in environmental decision-making and enforcement.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public of a meeting to discuss a review of the requirements for small airplanes. This discussion focuses on the future of small airplane regulation; however, we are asking for feedback concerning maintenance and operations, and not just certification. DATES: The meeting will be held February 23 and 24 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Marriott, 9100 Corporate Hills Drive, Wichita, Kansas 67207. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Lowell Foster, Regulations and Policy, ACE–111, Federal Aviation Administration, 901 Locust St., Kansas City, MO 64106; telephone: (816) 329– 4125; facsimile (816) 329–4090; e-mail: lowell.foster@faa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given of a public meeting to initiate the review of 14 CFR part 23 regulations. The last thorough review of part 23 requirements occurred more than 25 years ago. Due to this long interval, this regulatory review goes VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:22 Jan 26, 2010 Jkt 220001 beyond the traditional regulatory reviews. We are attempting to determine the adequacy of the current airworthiness standards throughout a small airplane’s service life while anticipating future requirements. We encourage the public’s participation and feedback in developing or amending new and existing policy, guidance, and rulemaking. These efforts will affect the next 20 years of small airplane design, certification, and operations. Specifically, we would like feedback from manufacturers, pilots, owners, mechanics, instructors and anyone else with an interest in the small airplane industry. The FAA’s Small Airplane Directorate plans to host at least three, two-day meetings, depending on public interest. There may be a meeting in the southeast and southwest regions of the United States. The meetings will not follow a fixed agenda, but the discussions will generally follow the findings from a recent two-year study. That study, the ‘‘Part 23 Small Airplane Certification Process Study,’’ addressed the following areas: • Structure and Process of Part 23 • Design Certification • Continued Airworthiness • Data Management • Pilot Interface The report is available on-line at: https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/ headquarters_offices/avs/offices/air/ directorates_field/small_airplanes/. Included in the study are recommendations associated with certification, maintenance, modifications, and pilot training. Also included in the report is the recommendation to revise part 23 such PO 00000 Frm 00107 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 that requirements are based on airplane performance and complexity. Since the beginning, small airplane certification requirements have been based on propulsion and weight. Many previous assumptions for small airplanes are no longer accurate. This is discussed in detail in the Certification Process Report. The FAA plans to open each meeting with a detailed presentation from the Certification Process Study findings followed by opening the floor for discussions. There will be an official recorder participating at each meeting. The meeting minutes, as well as any comments, feedback, recommendations or action items will become public record. Attendance is open to the interested public but limited to space availability. Since seating is limited, we ask anyone interested in attending to notify Lowell Foster at the phone or e-mail address listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. Issued in Kansas City, Missouri on January 20, 2010. James E. Jackson, Acting Manager, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service.
