Type: Notice
Date: 2018-11-16
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on October 9, 2018. The collection involves return to the Civil Aviation Aircraft Registry of information relating to the release of a lien that has been recorded with the Registry. Regulations provide for establishing and maintaining a system for the recording of security conveyances affecting title to, or interest in U.S. civil aircraft, as well as certain specifically identified engines, propellers, or spare parts locations, and for recording of releases relating to those conveyances. Federal Aviation Regulations establish procedures for implementation. Regulations describe what information must be contained in a security conveyance in order for it to be recorded with FAA. The convention on the International Recognition signatory, prevents, by treaty, the export of an aircraft and cancellation of its nationality marks if there is an outstanding lien recorded. The Civil Aviation Registry must have consent or release of lien from the lienholder prior to confirmation/cancellation for export.

Entitlement to membership on the Committee is provided for in 5 U.S.C. 5347.

These scheduled meetings are open to the public with both labor and management representatives attending.

L. 92-463) and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B). These caucuses may, depending on the issues involved, constitute a substantial portion of a meeting.

Reports for calendar years 2008 to 2016 are posted at www.opm.gov/ FPRAC. Previous reports are also available, upon written request to the Committee.

Document Number: 2018-24905
Type: Proposed Rule

This proposed rule is intended to improve regulations implementing the statutory requirements governing disclosure of financial interests and voting recusal at section 302(j) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act).

GSA's purpose in publishing this agenda is to allow interested persons an opportunity to participate in the rulemaking process.

Published proposed and final rules may be reviewed in their entirety at the Government's rulemaking website at https://www.regulations.gov.

Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act's Agenda requirements.
