The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations that govern the Health Professional Scholarship Program (HPSP).

This rule would also expand the number of years of obligated service that a HPSP participant would have to serve in VA in the discipline for which the HPSP was awarded. This rulemaking would implement the mandates of the VA MISSION Act of 2018.

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-07-09, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 737-700, -700C, -800, and -900ER series airplanes, Model 747-400F series airplanes, and Model 767-200 and -300 series airplanes. AD 2013-07-09 requires a general visual inspection for affected serial numbers of the crew oxygen mask stowage box units, and replacement or re- identification as necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2013-07-09, the agency has determined that the affected parts may be installed on airplanes outside the original applicability of AD 2013-07-09. This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2013-07-09 and expand the applicability to include those other airplanes. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
