Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company CF6-80A, CF6-80C2, and CF6-80E1 Series Turbofan Engines
The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CF6-80A, CF6-80C2, and CF6-80E1 series turbofan engines. That AD currently requires revisions to the Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) of the manufacturer's Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to include required inspection of selected critical life-limited parts at each piece-part exposure. This proposed AD would require revisions to the CF6-80A, CF6- 80C2, and CF6-80E1 series engines ALS sections of the manufacturer's manuals and an air carrier's approved continuous airworthiness maintenance program to incorporate additional inspection requirements, and to update certain Engine Manual Inspection Task and Sub Task Number references. This proposed AD results from the need to require enhanced inspection of selected critical life-limited parts of CF6-80A, CF6- 80C2, and CF6-80E1 series engines. We are proposing this AD to prevent critical life-limited rotating engine part failure, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

Aircraft Noise Certification Documents for International Operations
This action would require operators of U.S. registered civil aircraft flying outside the United States to carry aircraft noise certification information on board the aircraft. This proposed rule is needed to ensure that U.S. operators have consistent noise certification information on board when they fly outside the United States. The intended effect of this proposal is to ensure consistent compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization, Annex 16, Volume 1, Amendment 8 that requires certain noise information be carried on board the aircraft.
Availability of Flood Hazard Maps and Data
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is completing the update and conversion to digital of the National Flood Insurance Program flood hazard map inventory. As part of the Flood Map Modernization Program, FEMA will discontinue the public distribution of paper Flood Insurance Rate Maps, Flood Insurance Study reports, and related flood hazard map products. FEMA will provide communities where the flood hazard information is updated with an updated paper map to satisfy local regulatory requirements for a paper map product. For all other requests, FEMA will distribute digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps, Flood Insurance Study reports, and related flood hazard map products in place of the paper versions. Over the past several years, FEMA has transitioned from paper maps to digital map images and digital flood hazard data as the primary flood hazard information products. These products will still be available through the FEMA Map Service Center. This change will reduce duplication of effort and reduce the cost for updating flood hazard maps.

Civil Division; Radiation Exposure Compensation Act: Allowance for Costs and Expenses; Combination of Work Histories
The Department of Justice (``the Department'') is publishing this Notice to inform the public of two matters related to the adjudication of claims filed under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (``RECA'' or ``the Act''). First, in light of the Tenth Circuit Court decision in Hackwell v. United States, 491 F.3d 1229 (10th Cir. 2007), the Department will no longer enforce its regulation concerning attorney's fees whereby attorneys are prohibited from receiving reimbursement for expenses and costs above the statutory fee limits specified in the Act. The Notice further explains that the Department will not limit attorneys from receiving reimbursement for such expenses and costs from their clients, even when a claim is unsuccessful. Finally, the Department intends to initiate a rulemaking to strike the existing regulation at Sec. 79.74(b) and revise the language, consistent with the Court's decision and this policy statement. Second, the Department has an ongoing policy of combining uranium industry work histories, consistent with the plain language of the Act. By statute, to be eligible for compensation as a result of exposure to radiation due to employment in the uranium production industry, a claimant must demonstrate that he or she was, for at least one year, employed in a uranium mine, employed in a uranium mill, or employed in the transportation of uranium ore or vanadium-uranium ore. This Notice articulates the Department's policy that, assuming all other eligibility criteria are satisfied, claimants may satisfy this one-year statutory requirement by combining different periods of employment in uranium mining, uranium milling, and ore transporting.
