SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) staff will hold a

series of public meetings on the highlevel waste repository licensing process.

The meetings are intended to foster a

common understanding among the

The first meeting in the series is an

Information Workshop designed

affected interests. It is open to the

public and will begin with an NRC

overview of the licensing process,

followed by NRC presentations on the

role of information management and

proceeding support, the role of the NRC

technical staff in evaluating the DOE

license application, and the NRC

inspection process. Opportunities for

questions and answers will be provided

throughout the workshop. The time,

date, and location of the Information

Workshop is shown below.

The second meeting in the series is

primarily to acquaint the public with

the NRC’s high-level waste licensing

process. It will begin with an overview

meeting, followed by a question and

answer period. In addition, members of

the NRC staff will be available for

informal discussion with members of

the public. The time, date, and location

of the Public Meeting is shown below.

The NRC staff plans to hold a third

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. 99–NM–356–AD]

RIN 2120–AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Empresa

Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.

(EMBRAER) Model EMB–120 Series

Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: This document proposes the

adoption of a new airworthiness

directive (AD) that is applicable to

certain EMBRAER Model EMB–120

series airplanes. This proposal would

require revising the Airplane Flight

Manual (AFM), and either installing

hydraulic tube assemblies incorporating

a check valve, or visually inspecting the

check valve if already installed and

corrective action, if necessary. This

proposal is prompted by issuance of

mandatory continuing airworthiness

information by a foreign civil

airworthiness authority. The actions

specified by the proposed AD are

intended to prevent the landing gear

doors from becoming blocked from

opening during application of

emergency procedures in the event of a

loss of hydraulics.

DATES: Comments must be received by

May 17, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments in

triplicate to the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), Transport

Airplane Directorate, ANM–114,

Attention: Rules Docket No. 99–NM–

356–AD, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW.,

Renton, Washington 98055–4056.

Comments may be inspected at this

location between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00

p.m., Monday through Friday, except

Federal holidays.

The service information referenced in

the proposed rule may be obtained from

Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.

(EMBRAER), P.O. Box 343—CEP 12.225,

Sao Jose dos Campos—SP, Brazil. This

information may be examined at the

FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate,
