The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-09-11, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and - 1041 airplanes. AD 2022-09-11 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-09-11, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2022-09-11 and require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making an interim final determination that the California Air Resources Board has submitted a revised rule on behalf of the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD) that corrects a deficiency in its Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) State implementation plan (SIP) provisions concerning reasonably available control technology (RACT) ozone nonattainment requirements for controlling emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from solvent cleaning and degreasing operations. This determination is based on a proposed approval, published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, of YSAQMD's Rule 2.31, which regulates this source category. The effect of this interim final determination is that the imposition of sanctions that was triggered by a prior disapproval by the EPA, is now deferred. If the EPA finalizes its approval of YSAQMD 's submission, relief from these sanctions will become permanent.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is soliciting public comment on a joint request submitted by Morgan Stanley Mexico, Casa de Bolsa, S.A. de C.V., Goldman Sachs Mexico, Casa de Bolsa, S.A. de C.V., and Casa de Bolsa Finamex, S.A. de C.V. requesting that the Commission determine that the capital and financial reporting laws and regulations of Mexico applicable to CFTC- registered swap dealers organized and domiciled in Mexico, and licensed with the Mexican Banking and Securities Commission (Comision Nacional Bancaria y de Valores) as broker-dealers (casa de bolsa), provide a sufficient basis for an affirmative finding of comparability with respect to the Commission's swap dealer capital and financial reporting requirements adopted under the Commodity Exchange Act. The Commission also is soliciting public comment on a proposed order providing for the conditional availability of substituted compliance in connection with the application.

The General Services Administration (GSA) is issuing a final rule amending the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to make technical amendments to GSAR clause 552.212-4 regarding commercial items and its prescribing section. This GSAR clause is a deviation to FAR clause 52.212-4. These technical amendments update obsolete references, correct typographical errors, and make minor editorial changes to improve clarity of GSA's deviation to FAR clause 52.212-4.

This proposed rule would place new requirements on Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations, state Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS) programs, state Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) FFS programs, Medicaid managed care plans, CHIP managed care entities, and Qualified Health Plan (QHP) issuers on the Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs) to improve the electronic exchange of healthcare data and streamline processes related to prior authorization, while continuing CMS' drive toward interoperability in the healthcare market. This proposed rule would also add a new measure for eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) under the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program and for Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) eligible clinicians under the Promoting Interoperability performance category of MIPS. These policies taken together would play a key role in reducing overall payer and provider burden and improving patient access to health information.

The Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee (ETAAC) will hold a public meeting via telephone conference line on Wednesday, January 11, 2023.

The U.S Department of Commerce (Commerce) is conducting the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain large vertical shaft engines between 225cc and 999cc, and parts thereof (large vertical shaft engines) from the People's Republic of China (China). The period of review (POR) is August 19, 2020, through February 28, 2022. Commerce preliminarily determines that Honda Power Products (China) Co., Ltd. (Honda) failed to establish its eligibility for a separate rate and, therefore, is part of the China-wide entity. We are also rescinding this review with respect to Chongqing Rato Technology Co., Ltd. (Chongqing Rato) and Loncin Motor Co., Ltd (Loncin). We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing a virtual public hearing to be held on January 10, 2023, on its proposal for the ``Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Program: Standards for 2023- 2025 and Other Changes,'' which was announced on November 30, 2022. An additional session will be held on January 11, 2023, if necessary, to accommodate the number of testifiers that sign-up to testify. EPA is proposing the 2023-2025 renewable fuel standards for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel. EPA is also proposing the second supplemental standard addressing the remand of the 2016 standard-setting rulemaking and several regulatory changes to the RFS program, including regulations governing the generation of qualifying renewable electricity and other modifications intended to improve the program's implementation.

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for certain navigable waters within the Detroit River, Detroit, MI.

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-18-07, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, - 113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, - 131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. AD 2019-18-07 requires repetitive rototest inspections of the open tack holes and rivet holes at the cargo floor support fittings of the fuselage, including doing all applicable related investigative actions and repair if necessary. AD 2019-18-07 also adds actions (modification) for certain airplanes. Since the FAA issued AD 2019-18-07, it was determined that certain airplanes need to do additional work. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2019-18-07 and would require additional work for certain airplanes, 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.
