The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report indicating that foreign object debris (FOD) could have been introduced during rework of certain engine fire shutoff switches (EFSSs). This AD requires determining the serial number of the left and right EFSS and replacing affected parts. This AD also limits the installation of affected parts under certain conditions.

This AD was prompted by a report that the pressure switch gauge assembly for the cargo bay fire extinguisher container has the potential to display an incorrect pressure under certain environmental conditions. This AD requires replacing affected high rate of discharge (HRD) and low rate of discharge (LRD) pressure switch gauge assemblies for the cargo bay fire extinguisher container. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-12- 11, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, - 115, -151N, and -153N airplanes; Model A320-251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; and Model A321-251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N, -253NX, -271N, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes. AD 2020-12- 11 required revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to limit the use of speed brakes in certain airplane configurations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD. This AD was prompted by a non-stabilized approach followed by an automatic go- around that led to an airplane pitch-up attitude and resulted in an auto-pilot disconnection. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2020-12-11 and also requires, for certain airplanes, installing updated FG 3G standard software for the FMGC, and prohibits the installation of affected FG standards, as specified in an EASA AD, which is incorporated by reference.

AD 2021-22-04 required a one-time eddy current conductivity measurement of certain structural parts of the outer flaps to determine if the incorrect alloy was used, and replacement if necessary; and also required a one-time eddy current conductivity measurement of certain other structural parts of the outer flaps to determine if the parts were properly heat treated, and replacement if necessary. This AD was prompted by the issuance of an updated list of suspected parts, including those that may have been improperly heat treated. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2021-22-04, and requires using an updated list of suspected parts, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD also limits the installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Perchloroethylene (PCE); Revision to Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Risk Determination; Notice of Availability
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the availability of the final revision to the risk determination for the perchloroethylene (PCE) risk evaluation issued under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The revision to the PCE risk determination reflects the announced policy changes to ensure the public is protected from unreasonable risks from chemicals in a way that is supported by science and the law. EPA determined that PCE, as a whole chemical substance, presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health when evaluated under its conditions of use. In addition, this revised risk determination does not reflect an assumption that workers always appropriately wear personal protective equipment (PPE). EPA understands that there could be adequate occupational safety protections in place at certain workplace locations; however, not assuming use of PPE reflects EPA's recognition that unreasonable risk may exist for subpopulations of workers that may be highly exposed because they are not covered by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, or their employers are out of compliance with OSHA standards, or because many of OSHA's chemical- specific permissible exposure limits largely adopted in the 1970's are described by OSHA as being ``outdated and inadequate for ensuring protection of worker health,'' or because EPA finds unreasonable risk for purposes of TSCA notwithstanding OSHA requirements. This revision supersedes the condition of use-specific no unreasonable risk determinations in the December 2020 PCE Risk Evaluation and withdraws the associated TSCA order included in the December 2020 PCE Risk Evaluation.

Such statements apply to premanufacture notices (PMNs), microbial commercial activity notices (MCANs), and significant new use notices (SNUNs) submitted to EPA under TSCA. This document presents statements of findings made by EPA on such submissions during the period from August 1 to September 30, 2022.
