Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-16-01, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2020-16-01 requires repetitive cleaning and greasing of affected cargo door seals (both original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and parts manufacturer approval (PMA) parts). Since the FAA issued AD 2020-16-01, the FAA determined that improved cargo door seals must be installed to address the unsafe condition, and that certain flight operations must be limited until the improved cargo door seals are installed. In addition, the FAA has issued a new AD to address the OEM parts. This proposed AD would limit the applicability to airplanes that have certain PMA parts installed. This proposed AD would retain certain actions required by AD 2020-16-01 and require replacing certain forward and aft cargo compartment door seals with new seals and installing a placard on the cargo compartment doors; and for certain airplanes, implementing an operational limitation for certain routes. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Air Plan Limited Approval and Limited Disapproval; California; Air Resources Board; Volatile Organic Compounds
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing action on a revision to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP).

We are proposing a limited approval and limited disapproval of a statewide rule to regulate this emission source under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act), and are also proposing to approve the recission of a different statewide rule from the California SIP that previously regulated this emission source. We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.

Proposed Amendment VOR Federal Airways V-66, V-189, V-260, and V-266; in the Vicinity of Franklin, VA
