July 2023 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to determine that the West Pinal County, Arizona nonattainment area (``West Pinal County'' or ``area'') did not attain the 1987 24- hour national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or ``standards'') for particulate matter with a diameter of 10 micrometers or smaller (PM10) by its December 31, 2022 ``Serious'' area attainment date. This action is based on the EPA's calculation of the PM10 design value for the nonattainment area over the 2020- 2022 period, using complete, quality-assured, and certified PM10 monitoring data. With this final determination that West Pinal County has failed to attain the PM10 NAAQS by its attainment date, the State of Arizona is required to submit a revision to the Arizona state implementation plan (SIP) that, among other elements, provides for expeditious attainment of the PM10 standards and for a five percent annual reduction in the emissions of direct PM10 or a PM10 plan precursor pollutant in the nonattainment area.

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-04-10, which applies to all Dassault Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 900 airplanes. AD 2023-04-10 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-04- 10, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2023-04-10 and would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

These special conditions are issued for the Textron Aviation, Inc. (Textron) Model 560XL(XLS+) airplane. This airplane will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport- category airplanes. This design feature is associated with the installation of a digital system that contains a wireless and hardwired network with hosted application functionality that allows access, from a source internal to the airplane, to the airplane's internal electronic component. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Embraer S.A. (Embraer) Model EMB-505 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by an occurrence of corrosion on the clutch retaining bolt of the aileron autopilot servo mount.
