December 19, 2022 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8-402 airplanes. This AD was prompted by an investigation that found that the actual operating temperatures within the integrated flight cabinet (IFC) were significantly higher than anticipated during certification. This AD requires a modification to improve the IFC cooling capacity. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is extending the public comment period for the proposed Elliott State Research Forest Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). NMFS is reviewing the Incidental Take Permit (ITP) application submitted by the Oregon Department of State Lands (ODSL), who is seeking authorization from NMFS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) for the incidental take of three species (two under FWS jurisdiction, and one under NMFS jurisdiction). The FWS is the lead federal agency under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and NMFS is a cooperating agency. FWS is extending the public comment period on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement and proposed HCP until January 10, 2023; therefore, NMFS is also extending its public comment period on the proposed HCP until January 10, 2023.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500- 1A11 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of a thrust reverser actuation system (TRAS) deploy hose failure upon the commanded deployment of a thrust reverser. This AD requires removing each non- conforming TRAS deploy hose, and replacing it with a conforming TRAS deploy hose, as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) (formerly the Office of Fossil Energy) of the Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice (Notice) of receipt of a request (Request), filed by Port Arthur LNG, LLC (PALNG) on November 18, 2022, and supplemented on November 22, 2022.

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-25- 16, which applied to certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE, and -100 SU airplanes; and Model ERJ 170-200 LR, -200 SU, -200 STD, and -200 LL airplanes. AD 2019-25-16 required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD was prompted by the determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2019-25-16 and requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate additional new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations and certain structural modifications, as specified in an Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports indicating that protective caps were found on engine fire extinguishing pipes in the engine core zone (Zone 2) after airplane delivery. This AD requires a one-time inspection of the engine fire extinguishing pipes for the presence of protective caps and removal of any protective caps found, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-18- 04, which applied to Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. AD 2020-18-04 required a one-time health check of the slat power control unit (PCU) torque sensing unit (TSU) for discrepancies, and corrective actions if necessary; a detailed inspection of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) slat transmission systems for discrepancies, and corrective actions if necessary; and LH and RH track 12 slat gear rotary actuator (SGRA) water drainage and vent plug cleaning (which includes an inspection for moisture). This AD was prompted by a determination that requiring modification of the PCU by replacing each affected slat PCU with a serviceable PCU (one having a different part number) is necessary. This AD continues to require the actions required by AD 2020-18-04, and also requires modification (replacement of each affected slat PCU with a slat PCU having a different part number), and revising the limitations on the installation of affected parts; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the availability of the final revision to the risk determination for the n- methylpyrrolidone (NMP) risk evaluation issued under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The revision to the NMP 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 NMP, 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 OSHA has not issued a chemical-specific permissible exposure limit (PEL) (as is the case for NMP), 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 NMP Risk Evaluation and withdraws the associated TSCA order included in the December 2020 NMP Risk Evaluation.
