The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-05-03, which applies to certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600- 2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. AD 2015-05-03 requires revising the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or revised maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations, and incorporating structural repairs and modifications to preclude widespread fatigue damage (WFD). Since the FAA issued AD 2015- 05-03, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary, as well as the corresponding structural repairs and modifications to preclude WFD. This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations and would require incorporating structural repairs and modifications to preclude WFD. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The Commission hereby gives notice of the institution of investigations and commencement of preliminary phase antidumping duty Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1546-1549 (Preliminary) pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') to determine whether there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material injury, or the establishment of an industry in the United States is materially retarded, by reason of imports of thermal paper from Germany, Japan, Korea, and Spain, provided for in subheadings 4811.90.80 and 4811.90.90 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less than fair value.

The Commission's views must be transmitted to Commerce within five business days thereafter, or by December 1, 2020.
