The FAA proposes to amend the regulatory definitions of certain air carrier and commercial operations. This proposed rule would add powered-lift to these definitions to ensure the appropriate sets of rules apply to air carriers' and certain commercial operators' operations of aircraft that FAA regulations define as powered-lift. The FAA also proposes to update certain basic requirements that apply to air carrier oversight, such as the contents of operations specifications and the qualifications applicable to certain management personnel. In addition, this proposed rule would apply the rules for commercial air tours to powered-lift. This proposed rule is an important step in the FAA's integration of new entrant aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS).

The State of Delaware has applied to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for final authorization of revisions to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). By this action, EPA proposes to grant final authorization to Delaware. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing the revisions by a direct final rule. EPA did not make a proposal prior to the direct final rule because EPA believes this action is not controversial and does not expect comments that oppose it. EPA has explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the direct final rule. Unless EPA receives written adverse comments pertaining to this State revision during the comment period, the direct final rule will become effective on the date it establishes, and EPA will not take further action on this proposed rulemaking. However, if EPA receives adverse comments pertaining to this State revision, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register, and this direct final rule will not take effect. EPA will then respond to public comments in a later final rule based on this proposed rulemaking. You may not have another opportunity for comment. If you want to comment on this action, you must do so at this time.
