The intended effect of this action is to propose approval of the state's order for this facility. This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision to the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from architectural coating operations. We are proposing to approve a local rule to regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act). We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.

This action proposes to amend Class D airspace and Class E surface airspace for the following Arkansas airports: Rogers Executive Airport-Carter Field (new name), Springdale Municipal Airport, and Bentonville Municipal Airport/Louise M Thaden Field (new name), as well as updating the airport's names and geographic coordinates. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.

Consistent with the CPSIA's process for updating mandatory standards for durable infant or toddler products that are based on a voluntary standard, this direct final rule updates the mandatory standard for gates and enclosures to incorporate by reference to ASTM F1004-22.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is amending its regulations by adding and revising provisions which enable DEA to hold registrants or applicants in default when they fail to timely request a hearing, or otherwise fail to participate in hearings. DEA is also amending its regulations to include an answer provision which will regulate how registrants respond to an Order to Show Cause (OTSC). These changes involve the revocation, suspension, or denial of a registration and do not affect other types of hearings.

This rule amends the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances (National List) section of the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) organic regulations to implement recommendations submitted to the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary) by the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB). This rule allows low-acyl gellan gum, a food additive used as a thickener, gelling agent, and stabilizer, as an ingredient in processed organic products. This rule also allows paper- based crop planting aids for organic crop production. Finally, this rule replaces the term ``wood resin'' on the National List with the term ``wood rosin'' to reflect the popular spelling of the substance.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) GE90-76B, GE90-85B, GE90-90B, and GE90-94B model turbofan engines. This proposed AD was prompted by a commanded in-flight shutdown (IFSD) due to cracking and rockback of the high-pressure turbine (HPT) stage 2 nozzles resulting in blade liberation, severe rotor imbalance, and liberation of the exhaust centerbody. This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive borescope inspections (BSIs) of the forward platforms of the HPT stage 2 blades or the leading edges of the HPT stage 2 nozzles and, depending on the results of the inspections, removal and replacement of the HPT stage 2 nozzles with a part eligible for installation. As a mandatory terminating action to the repetitive BSIs of the forward platforms of the HPT stage 2 blades or the leading edges of the HPT stage 2 nozzles, this proposed AD would require replacement of the HPT stage 2 nozzles. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

EPA is releasing this IRIS assessment plan and systematic review protocol for a 30-day public comment period in advance of a public science webinar planned for November 30, 2022. The Agency encourages the public to comment on all aspects of the assessment plan and the systematic review protocol, including key science issues and identification of any new or missing studies.
