This document directs that a referendum be conducted among eligible Oregon and Washington pear growers to determine whether they favor continuance of the marketing order regulating the handling of pears grown in Oregon and Washington.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), are proposing to renew an information collection.

The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of an expedited review pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') to determine whether revocation of the antidumping duty orders on carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe from Japan and Romania would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-04- 02, which applied to certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes. AD 2021-04-02 required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2021-04- 02, and also requires 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 incorporated by reference (IBR). The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

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 reports of ram air turbine (RAT) pump barrel assembly failures, which caused the RAT to fail to provide hydraulic power. The failures were determined to be caused by variations in the bronze metal used during manufacturing, which can result in varying fatigue properties. This AD requires an inspection or records review to determine the part number of the RAT pump and control module (PCM) and of the RAT assembly, and replacement of any RAT PCM or any RAT assembly having certain part numbers. This AD also prohibits the installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing 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 (CARB) has submitted a rule and other materials on behalf of the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD or ``District'') that correct deficiencies 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 oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from internal combustion engines. This determination is based on a proposed approval, published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, of MDAQMD's Rule 1160 which regulates this source category. The effect of this interim final determination is that the imposition of sanctions that were triggered by a previous limited disapproval by the EPA in 2021 is now deferred. If the EPA finalizes its approval of MDAQMD's submission, relief from these sanctions will become permanent.

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks comment from the public on the scope and implementation of the Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act of 2022 (Martha Wright-Reed Act or the Act). Through the Martha Wright-Reed Act, Congress expanded the Commission's jurisdiction over incarcerated people's communications services and expressly directs that the Commission adopt just and reasonable rates and charges for incarcerated people's audio and video communications services in correctional institutions. Specifically, the Commission seeks comment on how to interpret the Act's language to effectively implement the statute consistent with Congress's intent. The Commission seeks comment on how Congress's amendments to sections 2(b), 3(1), and 276 of the Communications Act of 1934 (Communications Act) affect the Commission's regulatory authority over incarcerated people's communications services and how to draft regulations to implement such authority. The Commission also seeks comment on how the Martha Wright- Reed Act affects its ability to ensure that incarcerated people's communications services and associated equipment are accessible to and usable by incarcerated people with disabilities.

This proposed rule proposes updates to the prospective payment rates for inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) for Federal fiscal year (FY) 2024. As required by statute, this proposed rule includes the proposed classification and weighting factors for the IRF prospective payment system's case-mix groups and a description of the methodologies and data used in computing the proposed prospective payment rates for FY 2024. It also proposes to rebase and revise the IRF market basket to reflect a 2021 base year. It also would modify the regulation regarding when IRF units can become excluded and paid under the IRF PPS. This proposed rule also includes updates for the IRF Quality Reporting Program (QRP).
