Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 6 / Monday, January 11, 2010 / Proposed Rules 1297 

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 

testimony will become part of the 

administrative record for SBA’s 

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 accept 

written material that the presenter 

wishes to provide that further 

supplements his or her testimony. 

Electronic or digitized copies are 

encouraged. 

In conjunction with the public 

meetings SBA is conducting tribal 

consultations prior to the end of the 

comment period for the proposed rulemaking. The meeting notice for these 

tribal consultations was published in 

the Federal Register on December 7, 

2009 (74 FR 64026). 

The public meetings will be held on 

the dates listed below for each location 

from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 39 

[Docket No. FAA–2009–1253; Directorate 

Identifier 2009–NM–080–AD] 

RIN 2120–AA64 

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing 

Model 737–600, –700, –700C, –800, 

–900, and –900ER Series Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

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.
