2013-14 FAA HOT Tables contains the following (on page 3)

EARLY FLUID FAILURE ON EXTENDED SLATS AND FLAPS

Additional research was conducted on this subject during the winter of 2012-13, and will resume for 2013-14. Research has determined that fluid degradation may be accelerated by the steeper angles of the flaps/slats in the takeoff configuration. The degree of potential degradation is significantly affected by the specific aircraft design. Further research is anticipated to characterize the extent of the effect on the Holdover Times and Allowance times. The FAA advises all operators to review their policies and procedures in light of this information to assure appropriate consideration.
That's actually a less committal statement than last year, when I believe they discussed a 50% penalty for HOT with deployed high lift devices.
