Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all EMBRAER Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections for blockage of the pitot drain holes of certain air data smart probes (ADSPs), removing accumulated moisture from the pneumatic passages of the ADSPs, related investigative actions, and corrective actions if necessary. This AD results from reports of erroneous air speed indications caused by blockage of the pitot sensors due to freezing of accumulated moisture in the ADSP pneumatic passages. We are issuing this AD to prevent an erroneous air speed indication, which could reduce the flightcrew's ability to control the airplane.

Department of Health and Human Services' Implementation of OMB Guidance on Nonprocurement Debarment and Suspension
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS or the Department) is issuing a new part 376 on nonprocurement debarment and suspension in Title 2 the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This new part is HHS's implementation of OMB's guidance provided at 2 CFR part 180. HHS is removing 45 CFR part 76, the part containing its implementation of the government-wide common rule on nonprocurement debarment and suspension. The new part in 2 CFR serves the same purpose as the common rule, but in a simpler way. This interim final rule is part of OMB's initiative to streamline and consolidate all federal regulations on nonprocurement debarment and suspension. It is an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change in HHS policy or procedures for nonprocurement debarment and suspension.
