The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) will hold a public hearing on the proposed rule to revise existing requirements to approve sampling devices that monitor miner exposure to respirable coal mine dust.

In addition, in order to provide equal opportunity to all eligible applicants, the deadline for submitting waiver requests to reduce the statutory match amount from 25% to 10% is being extended from June 10, 2009 to June 23, 2009. The period for HUD to review the requests is extended from June 22, 2009 to June 30, 2009. The deadline for receipt of the applications in HUD headquarters remains 5:00 PM eastern time July 20, 2009.

Announcing Approval of Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 186-3, Digital Signature Standard (DSS)
Document Number: E9-13513
Type: Notice
Date: 2009-06-09
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology
This notice announces the Secretary of Commerce's approval of Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 186-3, Digital Signature Standard (DSS). FIPS 186-3 is a revision of FIPS 186- 2. The FIPS specifies three techniques for the generation and verification of digital signatures that can be used for the protection of data: the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and the Rivest-Shamir-Adelman (RSA) algorithm. Although all three of these algorithms were approved in FIPS 186-2, FIPS 186-3 increases the key sizes allowed for DSA, provides additional requirements for the use of RSA and ECDSA, and includes requirements for obtaining the assurances necessary for valid digital signatures. FIPS 186-2 contained specifications for random number generators (RNGs); this revision does not include such specifications, but refers to NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-90 for obtaining random numbers. FIPS 186-3 is available at https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/ PubsFIPS.html; SP 800-90 is available at https://csrc.nist.gov/ publications/PubsSPs.html.

Document Number: E9-13494

Date: 2009-06-09

This AD also requires inspections and checks of the DTSDs and corrective actions, if necessary. This proposed AD results from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are proposing this AD to prevent a potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank fire or explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.
