This AD was prompted by a determination that the existing maintenance or inspection program must be revised to address fatigue cracking of the airplane. This AD requires revising the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate certain limitations. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane. SUMMARY: This AD is effective July 8, 2014. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of July 8, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain airplanes originally manufactured by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company for the military as Model P–3A or P3A airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on January 21, 2014 (79 FR 3341). The NPRM was prompted by a determination that the existing maintenance program must be revised to address fatigue cracking of the airplane. The NPRM proposed to require revising the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate certain limitations. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We have considered the comment received. The single commenter, Lockheed Martin (Lockheed) did not request a change to the NPRM (79 FR 3341, January 21, 2014). Conclusion We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes: E:\FR\FM\03JNR1.SGM 03JNR1

Consolidation; Correction

AGENCY: Small Business Administration.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) published a final 
rule in the Federal Register on October 2, 2013, which amended its 
regulations governing small business prime contracting by implementing 
provisions of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010. That rule was 
published with inadvertent errors in two of the regulatory sections.
    Those errors are corrected in this document.

DATES: Effective June 3, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dean Koppel, Office of Government 
Contracting, U.S. Small Business Administration, 409 Third Street SW., 
8th Floor, Washington, DC 20416; (202) 205-7322.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 2, 2013, SBA published a final 
rule to implement provisions of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 
pertaining to small business contracting procedures. 78 FR 61114. As 
discussed in detail below, the rule contained inadvertent errors in the 
instructions for sections 125.6 and 127.503, which affected the final 
regulatory text for those sections.
    In Sec.  125.6, SBA intended to amend paragraph (a) by revising the 
introductory text only. However, the final rule contained an 
instruction to revise paragraph (a). As a result, the final rule 
inadvertently removed paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4). SBA is 
correcting Sec.  125.6 by reinserting these paragraphs.
    In Sec.  127.503, SBA intended to remove paragraphs (a)(2) and 
(b)(2) and redesignate paragraphs (a)(3) and (b)(3) as paragraphs 
(a)(2) and (b)(2), respectively. However, the rule mistakenly 
instructed to revise paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(2), (b)(1), and (b)(2). As 
a result of this erroneous instruction, paragraphs (a)(3) and (b)(3) 
were not redesignated and are currently

[[Page 31849]]

duplicates of paragraphs (a)(2) and (b)(2). SBA is correcting this 
duplication in Sec.  127.503 by removing paragraphs (a)(3) and (b)(3).
