National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines and New Source Performance Standards: Internal Combustion Engines; Electronic Reporting
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to amend the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE), the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Stationary Compression Ignition (CI) Internal Combustion Engines, and the NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition (SI) Internal Combustion Engines, to add electronic reporting provisions. The addition of electronic reporting provisions will provide for simplified reporting by sources and enhance availability of data on sources to the EPA and the public. In addition, a small number of clarifications and corrections to these rules are being proposed to correct inadvertent and other minor errors in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), particularly related to tables. Finally, information is being solicited on the provisions specifying that emergency engines can operate for up to 50 hours per year to mitigate local transmission and/ or distribution limitations to avert potential voltage collapse or line overloads that could lead to the interruption of power supply in a local area or region.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; West Palm Beach, FL
A final rule was published in the Federal Register on June 8, 2023, amending the West Palm Beach, FL Class E airspace legal description by removing ``West Palm Beach'' from the Palm Beach International Airport name in the legal description sub-header as it is excessive and unnecessary. The FAA discovered the word ``[Amended]'' was not listed after the airspace name in the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface legal description for West Palm Beach, FL. This action corrects this error.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA is removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-15-01, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A300 series airplanes; Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 series airplanes); and Model A310 series airplanes. AD 2016-15-01 required an inspection to determine trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuator (THSA) part numbers, serial numbers, and flight cycles on certain THSAs; and repetitive replacement of certain THSAs. The FAA issued AD 2016-15-01 to prevent loss of THSA no-back brake (NBB) efficiency. Since the FAA issued AD 2016-15-01, the FAA has issued AD 2022-25-12 to terminate AD 2016-15-01 for Model A310 series airplanes and AD 2023-11-02 to terminate AD 2016-15-01 for Model A300-600 series airplanes. The FAA has also determined that the inclusion of the Model A300 series airplanes in the applicability of AD 2016-15-01 was an inadvertent error. Accordingly, AD 2016-15-01 is removed.
Amendment of the Nashville International Airport Class C Airspace; Nashville, TN; and the John C. Tune Airport Class D Airspace; Nashville, TN
This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the Federal Register on June 6, 2023, that amended the Nashville International Airport Class C airspace area and the John C. Tune Class D airspace area. In the final rule, the words ``(when active)'' were inadvertently omitted from the sentences that exclude the Smyrna Airport Class D airspace from the Nashville Class C airspace area. The error would cause the incorrect depiction of the Class C and Class D airspace areas on aeronautical charts. This action corrects that error.
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Quincy, IL
This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace at Quincy, IL. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of an airspace review due to the decommissioning of the Quincy very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operating Network (MON) Program. The name and geographic coordinates of the airport and name of the navigational aid would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Hastings, MI
This action amends the Class E airspace at Hastings, MI. This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Grand Rapids very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operating Network (MON) Program. The name and geographic coordinates of the airport are also being updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
