Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan Engines
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-23-06, which applies to certain General Electric Company (GE) CF34-8C1, CF34-8C5, CF34-8C5A1, and CF34-8C5B1 engines. AD 2017-23-06 requires an inspection of the bleed air manifold link rod assemblies and the supply, return, and drain fuel fittings on the operability bleed valve (OBV). Since the FAA issued AD 2017-23-06, the manufacturer developed improved inspection techniques and determined these inspections should be applied to additional engine models. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the OBV fuel tubes, OBV bleed air manifold link rod assemblies, and the OBV fuel fittings and replacement of OBVs or related hardware that fail inspection. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Biologics License Applications and Master Files
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is proposing to amend its regulations concerning the use of master files for biological products.

The proposed rule also codifies FDA's practice of permitting applications for biological products submitted under the PHS Act to incorporate by reference information other than drug substance, drug substance intermediate, or drug product information contained in a master file. In addition, the proposed rule codifies FDA's practice of permitting investigational new drug applications to incorporate by reference any information contained in a master file for products subject to licensure under the PHS Act.

Air Plan Approval; KY; Attainment Plan for Jefferson County SO2
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions, submitted under a cover letter dated June 23, 2017, by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, through the Kentucky Division for Air Quality on behalf of the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District (LMAPCD or District or Jefferson County) to EPA, for attaining the 1-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) primary national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS or standard) for the Jefferson County SO2 nonattainment area (hereafter referred to as the ``Jefferson County nonattainment area,'' ``nonattainment area'' or ``Area''). The Jefferson County nonattainment area is comprised of a portion of Jefferson County in Kentucky surrounding the Louisville Gas and Electric Mill Creek Electric Generating Station (hereafter referred to as ``Mill Creek'' or ``LG&E''). This plan (hereafter called a ``nonattainment plan'' or ``SIP'' or ``attainment SIP'') includes Kentucky's attainment demonstration and other elements required under the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). In addition to an attainment demonstration, the plan addresses the requirement for meeting reasonable further progress (RFP) toward attainment of the NAAQS, reasonably available control measures and reasonably available control technology (RACM/RACT), base-year and projection-year emissions inventories, enforceable emissions limitations and control measures, nonattainment new source review (NNSR) and contingency measures. EPA concludes that Kentucky has appropriately demonstrated that the nonattainment plan provisions provide for attainment of the 2010 1-hour primary SO2 NAAQS in the Jefferson County nonattainment area and that the nonattainment plan meets the other applicable requirements under the CAA.

In addition to the 2018 Farm Bill required changes, FCIC is changing provisions for premium offsets, electronic delivery of policy changes, and assigned yields. The changes to the policy made in this rule are applicable for the 2020 crop year for crops with a contract change date on or after June 30, 2019. For all crops the changes to the policy made in this rule are applicable for the 2021 and succeeding crop years.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 757 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that during a maintenance check an operator discovered cracking in the station 1460 frame web and inner chord between certain stringers. This proposed AD would require an inspection of the fuselage frames for any existing repair, repetitive surface high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections of the fuselage frames with a cargo liner support channel for any cracking, and applicable on- condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Fisheries off West Coast States; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Electronic Monitoring Program
NMFS issues this final rule to implement an electronic monitoring (EM) program for two sectors of the limited entry trawl fishery, consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) and the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The action allows catcher vessels in the Pacific whiting fishery and fixed gear vessels in the shorebased Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) fishery to use EM in place of observers to meet the requirements of the Trawl Rationalization Program for 100-percent at- sea observer coverage. This action is necessary to increase operational flexibility and reduce monitoring costs for vessels in the trawl fishery by providing an alternative to observers. Data from the EM program will be used to debit discards of IFQ species from IFQs and mothership cooperative allocations. Through this action, NMFS has also approved and is implementing the following measures: An application process for interested vessel owners; performance standards for EM systems; requirements for vessel operators; a permitting process and standards for EM service providers; and, requirements for processors (first receivers) for receiving and disposing of prohibited and protected species from EM trips.
