Safety Standard for Clothing Storage Units
Document Number: 2022-01689
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2022-02-03
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission, Agencies and Commissions
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) has determined preliminarily that there is an unreasonable risk of injury and death, particularly to children, associated with clothing storage units (CSUs) tipping over. To address this risk, the Commission proposes a rule addressing the stability of CSUs. Specifically, the proposed rule would require CSUs to be tested for stability, exceed minimum stability requirements, be marked and labeled with safety information, and bear a hang tag providing performance and technical data about the stability of the CSU. The Commission issues this proposed rule under the authority of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA). The Commission requests comments about all aspects of this notice, including the risk of injury, the proposed requirements, alternatives to the proposed rule, and the economic impacts of the proposed rule and alternatives.
Control of Air Pollution From Aircraft Engines: Emission Standards and Test Procedures
Document Number: 2022-01150
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2022-02-03
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing particulate matter (PM) emission standards and test procedures applicable to certain classes of engines used by civil subsonic jet airplanes (those engines with rated output of greater than 26.7 kilonewtons (kN)) to replace the existing smoke standard for aircraft. These proposed standards and test procedures are equivalent to the engine standards adopted by the United Nations' International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in 2017 and 2020 and would apply to both new type design aircraft engines and in-production aircraft engines. The EPA, as well as the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), actively participated in the ICAO proceedings in which these requirements were developed. These proposed standards would reflect the importance of the control of PM emissions and U.S. efforts to secure the highest practicable degree of uniformity in aviation regulations and standards. Additionally, the EPA is proposing to migrate, modernize, and streamline the existing regulations into a new part. As part of this update, the EPA is also proposing to align with ICAO by applying the smoke number standards to engines less than or equal to 26.7 kilonewtons rated output used in supersonic airplanes.

Air Plan Approval; Montana; 2015 Ozone NAAQS Interstate Transport Requirements
Document Number: 2022-02111
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2022-02-03
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires each State Implementation Plan (SIP) to contain adequate provisions prohibiting emissions that will significantly contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of air quality in other states. The State of Montana made a submission to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) to address these requirements for the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). EPA is proposing to approve the submission for Montana as meeting the requirement that the SIP contains adequate provisions to prohibit emissions that will significantly contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2015 ozone NAAQS in any other state.
Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl)-α-hydro-ω-hydroxy-, Polymer With Poly(isocyanatoalkyl) Benzene, Alkylol-Blocked; Tolerance Exemption
Document Number: 2022-02100
Type: Rule
Date: 2022-02-03
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl)-[alpha]-hydro- [omega]-hydroxy-, polymer with poly(isocyanatoalkyl) benzene, alkylol- blocked when used as an inert ingredient in a pesticide chemical formulation. BYK USA Inc. submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of Poly(oxy-1,2- ethanediyl)-[alpha]-hydro-[omega]-hydroxy-, polymer with poly(isocyanatoalkyl) benzene, alkylol-blocked on food or feed commodities.
Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters
Document Number: 2022-02073
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2022-02-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-17-18, which applies to all Leonardo S.p.a. Model A109C, A109K2, A109E, A109S, and AW109SP helicopters. AD 2021-17-18 requires an inspection of certain tail rotor (TR) sleeve assemblies for discrepancies, an inspection of certain TR shaft assemblies for discrepancies, a repetitive measurement of the position of the bushing of the TR sleeve assembly in relation to the pitch change slider assembly, and corrective actions if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2021-17-18, the FAA has determined that it is necessary to require repetitive inspections of certain TR sleeve assemblies and corrective actions. This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2021-17- 18; and would also require repetitive inspections of the TR sleeve assemblies, and corrective actions if necessary, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Piper Aircraft, Inc., Airplanes
Document Number: 2022-02072
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2022-02-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Piper Aircraft, Inc., (Piper) Model PA-34-200 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by the determination that the life limit for alternate bolts that attach the drag link to the nose gear were not listed as airworthiness limitations. This proposed AD would require establishing a life limit for these bolts. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Consultative Examinations
Document Number: 2022-02065
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2022-02-03
Agency: Railroad Retirement Board, Agencies and Commissions

The amendment will allow the remote conduct of examinations where physical contact is not required and will facilitate medical evaluations when physical proximity is not feasible.
Succession Planning
Document Number: 2022-02038
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2022-02-03
Agency: National Credit Union Administration, Agencies and Commissions
Through this proposed rule, the NCUA Board (Board) would require that Federal Credit Union (FCU) boards of directors establish and adhere to processes for succession planning. The succession plans will help to ensure that the credit union has plans to fill key positions, such as officers of the board, management officials, executive committee members, supervisory committee members, and (where provided for in the bylaws) the members of the credit committee to provide continuity of operations. In addition, the proposed rule would require directors to be knowledgeable about the FCU's succession plan. Although the proposed rule would apply only to FCUs, the Board's purpose is to encourage and strengthen succession planning for all credit unions. The proposed rule would provide FCUs with broad discretion in implementing the proposed regulatory requirements to minimize any burden.

The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes
Document Number: 2022-02141
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2022-02-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes.
