Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance Austin Straubel International Airport Green Bay, WI
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property. Brown County, Wisconsin, as airport sponsor, is seeking release of 5.08 acres of land (hereafter referred to as the ``parcel'') from compliance with assurances attached as conditions to Federal grant agreements. The parcel is located north of State Trunk Highway No. 172, and directly east of and adjacent to lands owned by the Oneida Nation. The parcel is presently undeveloped. The parcel was originally acquired by Brown County in fee simple from a private seller in 1958 using local airport revenue sources. No Federal or State dollars were used in the acquisition. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the property. The Oneida Nation, as prospective purchaser of the parcel, intends to utilize the parcel to allow for continued development of their existing convention facility. Approval does not constitute a commitment to the FAA to financially assist in the disposal of the subject airport property nor a determination of eligibility for grant- in-aid funding from the FAA. The disposition of proceeds from the disposal of the airport property will be in accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 16, 1999. In accordance with section 47107(h) of title 49, United States Code, this notice is required to be published in the Federal Register 30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that requires the property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Models RB211 Trent 768-60, Trent 772-60, and Trent 772B-60 Turbofan Engines
The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce plc (RR) models RB211 Trent 768-60, Trent 772-60, and Trent 772-60 turbofan engines. That AD currently requires initial and repetitive surge margin testing of engines. This AD requires the same actions but at updated intervals. This AD also requires installation of updated software for the engine electronic controllers (EECs), and adds a terminating action for the surge margin testing requirement. This AD supersedure results from RR requiring EEC software to be revised, and extending the repetitive interval for surge margin testing for engines that have incorporated the software update for the EECs. This AD also results from RR introducing a stage 1 high pressure (HP) compressor casing and intermediate case outer location ring with wear-resistant coating, to reduce wear to prevent reduction in surge margin. We are issuing this AD to prevent a possible dual-engine in- flight surge, which could result in dual engine power loss.
Hazardous Materials: Requirements for UN Cylinders
PHMSA proposes to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to adopt standards for the design, construction, maintenance and use of cylinders and multiple-element gas containers (MEGCs) based on the standards contained in the United Nations (UN) Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Aligning the HMR with the UN Recommendations will promote flexibility, permit the use of technological advances for the manufacture of pressure receptacles, provide for a broader selection of pressure receptacles, reduce the need for exemptions, and facilitate international commerce in the transportation of compressed gases.
