**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. **ACTION :**  Notice of public meeting.
**SUMMARY :**  The FAA Small Airplane Directorate is issuing this notice to advise the public of a meeting to discuss ideas for future policy and rulemaking for small airplanes. We are attempting to determine the adequacy of the current airworthiness standards thoughout a small airplane’s service life while anticipating future requirements. The outcome could affect the next 20 years of small airplane design, certification, and operations. **DATES :**  The meeting will be held June 8– 9, 2010, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. **ADDRESSES :**  The meeting will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn Scottsdale North/ Perimeter Center; 8550 East Princess Drive; Scottsdale, AZ 85255; phone number 480–515–4944. **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 review 14 CFR part 23 regulations.

3 49 U.S.C. 41715(b)(1).

4 Operating Limitations at New York LaGuardia Airport, 71 FR 77,854 (Dec. 27, 2006); 72 FR 63,224 (Nov. 8, 2007) (transfer, minimum usage, and withdrawal amendments); 72 FR 48,428 (Aug. 19, 2008) (reducing the reservations available for unscheduled operations); 74 FR 845 (Jan. 8, 2009) (extending the expiration date through Oct. 24, 2009); 74 FR 2,646 (Jan. 15, 2009) (reducing the peak-hour cap on scheduled operations to 71); 74 FR 51,653 (Oct. 7, 2009) (extending the expiration date through Oct. 29, 2011).

5 49 U.S.C. 40103(b) directs the FAA to develop plans and policy for the use of the navigable airspace and, by order or rule, to regulate the use of the airspace as necessary to ensure its efficient
use. encourage the public’s participation and feedback in developing or amending new and existing policy, guidance, and rulemaking. Specifically, we would like feedback from manufacturers, pilots, owners, mechanics, instructors and anyone else with an interest in the small airplane industry.

The Small Airplane Directorate is responsible for 14 CFR part 23, the design standard for small airplanes. 14 CFR part 23 contains the design standards for small airplanes in the normal, utility, acrobatic, and commuter categories, with a maximum gross weight of 19,000 pounds.

The FAA’s Small Airplane Directorate plans to host this second meeting to review the part 23 requirements June 8– 9, 2010. The meeting 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: http://www.faa.gov/about/office

_ org/ headquarters

_ offices/avs/offices/air/ directorates

_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 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 this 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 the 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 RSVP (notify) Lowell Foster at the phone or e-mail address listed in the **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT**  section.

**ACTION :**  Grant of petition with conditions.
**SUMMARY :**  The Secretary and the FAA are granting, subject to conditions, the joint waiver request of Delta Air Lines and US Airways from the prohibition on purchasing operating authorizations ( ‘‘ slots ’’ or ‘‘ slot interests ’’ ) at LaGuardia Airport (LGA). The grant permits the carriers to consummate a transaction in which Delta would transfer 42 pairs of slot interests to US Airways at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), international route authorities to Sa

 ̃ o Paulo and Tokyo; and terminal space at the Marine Air Terminal at LGA. US Airways would transfer 125 pairs of slot interests to Delta at LGA, and would lease an additional 15 pairs of LGA slot interests with a purchase option, together with terminal space in LGA’s Terminal C. The grant is subject to the conditions that the carriers dispose of 14 pairs of slot interests at DCA and 20 pairs of slot interests at LGA to eligible new entrant and limited incumbent carriers, pursuant to procedures set out in this Notice, and achieve a mutually satisfactory agreement regarding gates and associated facilities with any such purchaser.

On February 9, 2010, the FAA issued the Notice of petition for waiver and solicited comments through March 22, in this Docket, on the grant of the petition with conditions. (75 FR 7306, Feb. 18, 2010). On March 30, 2010, the FAA reopened the comment period and solicited rebuttal comments through April 5, 2010. (75 FR 16574, Apr. 1, 2010).

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The Proposed Transaction and the Waiver Request

In the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR–21), Public Law 106–181 (2000), Congress required a phase out and termination of the High Density Rule (HDR) 1 at LGA by January 1, 2007. 2 Congress expressly retained the FAA’s authority for ‘‘ safety and the movement of air traffic. ’’ 3 The FAA eliminated the terms of the HDR applicable at LGA; however, the demand for flights at LGA and resultant severe congestion prompted the FAA to re-impose quotas by means of an order published in 2006 and subsequently amended ( ‘‘LGA Order’’ or ‘‘ Order’’ ). 4 The LGA Order, issued under the FAA’s authority to regulate the use of navigable airspace, 5 assigned to the incumbent carriers at LGA their slot interest holdings and authorized them to lease or trade authorizations for any consideration for the duration of the Order. The Order, originally scheduled to expire October 24, 2009, was extended through October 29, 2011. The Order does not allow for the purchase or sale of slot interests at LGA, and the
