Parentage Establishment in the Child Support Services Program
Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) proposes to replace the gender-specific term ``paternity'' with the gender-neutral term ``parentage'' throughout the Child Support Services Program to be inclusive of all family structures served by the child support services program. While title IV-D (Child Support and Establishment of Paternity) requires States and Tribes to have laws permitting the establishment of paternity and requiring genetic testing in contested paternity cases, OCSS also recognizes that title IV-D does not preclude States and Tribes from having parentage establishment laws and procedures for all families. The proposed changes to chapter III of the child support regulations recognize developments in State laws regarding parentage establishment and provide States and Tribes optional flexibility to establish parentage for all children in accordance with their laws, regardless of the gender of their parents or family structure.
Possible Revision or Elimination of Rules
In this document, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the general public to comment on the Commission's rules to be reviewed pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended. The purpose of the review is to determine whether Commission rules that the FCC adopted in calendar years 2007-2012 should be continued without change, amended, or rescinded in order to minimize any significant impact the rule(s) may have on a substantial number of small entities. Upon receiving comments from the public, the Commission will evaluate those comments and consider whether action should be taken to rescind or amend the relevant rule(s), or retain the rule(s) without modification.
Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Summer Flounder Fishery; Quota Transfer From North Carolina to Virginia
NMFS announces that the State of North Carolina is transferring a portion of its 2023 commercial summer flounder quota to the Commonwealth of Virginia.

This announcement informs the public of the revised 2023 commercial quotas for North Carolina and Virginia.
Mitigation Methods for Launch Vehicle Upper Stages on the Creation of Orbital Debris
To limit the growth of orbital debris, the FAA proposes to require that upper stages of commercial launch vehicles and other components resulting from launch or reentry be removed from orbit within 25 years after launch, either through atmospheric disposal or maneuver to an acceptable disposal orbit. Any artificial object left in orbit around the Earth which no longer serves a useful purpose can become a debris hazard in space. Orbital debris is all such human- generated debris in Earth orbit that is greater than 5 millimeters (mm) in any dimension. Collisions between and with orbital debris are a growing concern because prior to the establishment of the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) practices allowed these objects to accumulate in Earth orbit. Additionally, an increasing number of launch operators are launching assets into space at greater rates. If left unchecked, this accumulation can clutter useful orbits and present a hazard to operations on-orbit. This proposed rule would reduce the amount of additional debris created, as well as limit potential collisions with functional spacecraft and other debris already on-orbit.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-24-12, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 airplanes. AD 2020-24-12 requires replacing certain center wing box (CWB) fasteners with fasteners having improved friction efficiency. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-24-12, additional work was introduced to ensure the correct application of the fuel vapor barrier structure paint on the outside of the CWB. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2020-24-12 and would require the additional work, 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.
Petition for Rulemaking of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Please take notice that the Federal Trade Commission (``Commission'') received a petition for rulemaking from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. This petition requests to amend the Commission's rule regarding the disqualification of Commissioners. The Commission invites written comments concerning the petition. Publication of this petition is pursuant to the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure and does not affect the legal status of the petition or its final disposition.
Child Nutrition Programs: Community Eligibility Provision-Increasing Options for Schools
This final rule amends the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) regulations by lowering the minimum identified student percentage (ISP) from 40 percent to 25 percent. Lowering the minimum ISP will give States and schools greater flexibility to offer meals to all enrolled students at no cost when financially viable. As a result of this rule, more schools are eligible to participate in CEP and experience the associated benefits, such as increasing students' access to healthy, no-cost school meals; eliminating unpaid meal charges; reducing stigma; and streamlining Program administration and meal service operations.
Safety Standard for Nursing Pillows
The Danny Keysar Child Product Safety Notification Act, section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), requires the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) to promulgate consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. The Commission is proposing a safety standard for nursing pillows. The Commission is also proposing to amend CPSC's consumer registration requirements to identify nursing pillows as durable infant or toddler products and proposing to amend CPSC's list of notice of requirements (NORs) to include such nursing pillows. This proposed rule would help ensure that consumers continue to have access to nursing pillows for feeding while reducing hazards that have been identified for this product category.
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Commercial Refrigerators, Refrigerator-Freezers, and Freezers
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') amends the test procedures for commercial refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers (``CRE'') to reference the latest versions of the applicable industry standards. DOE also establishes definitions and test procedures for new equipment categories, adopts test procedures consistent with recently published waivers and interim waivers, establishes product-specific enforcement provisions, allows for volume determinations based on computer-aided designs, specifies a sampling plan for volume and total display area, and adopts additional clarifying amendments.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2009-01-02, which applies to certain Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes. AD 2009-01-02 requires an inspection of frames between body station (BS) 360 and BS 907 to determine if certain support brackets of the air conditioning (A/C) outlet extrusions are installed, inspections for cracking of the frames around the attachment holes of the subject brackets, and repair if necessary. AD 2009-01-02 also requires installing new, improved fittings for all support brackets of the A/C outlet extrusions between BS 360 and BS 907. Since the FAA issued AD 2009-01-02, the agency determined that certain repairs might develop fatigue cracks that could result in the inability of the frame to sustain limit load and therefore must be inspected. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions specified in AD 2009-01-02 and would also require repetitive inspections for cracking of certain repairs and repair if necessary. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Preventing the Improper Use of CHIPS Act Funding
The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which amended Title XCIX of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (collectively, the CHIPS Act or Act) established an incentives program to reestablish and sustain U.S. leadership across the semiconductor supply chain. The Department of Commerce, through the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is issuing this final rule to implement conditions in the Act that seek to prevent funding provided through the program from being used to directly or indirectly benefit foreign countries of concern. The rule defines terms related to these conditions, describes the types of activities that are prohibited by those conditions, and sets forth procedures for notifying the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) of non-compliance and the process by which the Secretary will enforce these provisions.
Expanded Burial Benefits
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its adjudication regulations pertaining to burial benefits to conform to recent statutory changes enacted by the Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020 and the Burial Equity for Guards and Reserves Act of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022. The conforming regulatory changes would implement an expansion of the transportation benefit and provision of a single payment rate for non-service-connected burial allowances regardless of the location of a qualifying Veteran's death and would coincide with the effective date for the statutory amendments (January 5, 2023). The conforming regulatory changes would also implement the extension of the VA plot or interment allowance to Tribal organizations for interment of eligible Veterans on trust land owned by, or held in trust for, the Tribal organization and would coincide with the effective date for the statutory amendments (March 15, 2022). VA also proposes some additional clarifying changes to its burial benefits regulations.
Establishment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes; Eastern United States
This action establishes four low altitude United States Area Navigation (RNAV) routes (T-routes) in support of the Very High Frequency (VHF) Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. The purpose is to expand the availability of the enroute structure and provide additional RNAV routing within the National Airspace System (NAS) in support of transitioning it from ground-based to satellite-based navigation.
Revocation of VOR Federal Airway V-314; Maine
This action removes Very High Frequency (VHF) Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway V-314 in Maine because the route segments in Canada were cancelled by NAV CANADA. As a result, the remaining segments in Maine are no longer required for air traffic control (ATC) purposes.
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments
This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

The EPA has determined that these changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final authorization and is authorizing the State's changes through a direct final action, which can be found in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register. In addition, the EPA is proposing to codify in the regulations entitled, ``Hazardous Waste Rules and Regulations, Chapter 1, General Provisions,'' Wyoming's authorized hazardous waste program. The EPA will incorporate by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) those provisions of the State regulations that are authorized and that the EPA will enforce under RCRA.
Airworthiness Directives; De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8-401 and -402 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of moisture in the wing-to-fuselage joint, between the mating front spar and rear spar frame segments. This proposed AD would require a visual inspection of the fuselage front and rear spar frames, an ultrasonic test if applicable, other specified actions, and repair if necessary. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Amendment of V-388 Near Paradise, CA
This action amends the Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway V-388 between the Paradise, CA (PDZ), VOR/ Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and the Palm Springs, CA (PSP), VORTAC navigational aids.

This action is an administrative change to rename the location of restricted areas R-6302A, R-6302B, R-6302C, R-6302D, and R-6302E and to update the name of the listed using agency for those restricted areas. This action partially implements recommendations of the Commission on the Naming of Items (Naming Commission) of the Department of Defense (DoD) as established by section 370 of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Additionally, this action makes minor editorial corrections to the designated altitudes contained in three of the restricted areas and to the geographic coordinates of one boundary point in one of the restricted areas. These amendments do not affect the overall restricted area complex boundaries, operational altitudes, times of designation, or activities conducted within the airspace.
Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd. & Co. KG Engines
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-26-11 for all Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd. & Co. KG (RRD) Model RB211-Trent 875-17, 877-17, 884-17, 884B-17, 892-17, 892B-17, and 895-17 engines. AD 2021-26-11 required replacing the affected fuel pump on at least one affected engine. Since the FAA issued AD 2021-26-11, the FAA has determined that replacing all affected fuel pumps on all installed engines is necessary to address the unsafe condition. This AD was prompted by reports of single-engine events caused by water contamination, which led to corrosion on the fuel pump that resulted in loss of engine thrust. This AD requires replacing the affected fuel pump on at least one engine before further flight and replacing all affected fuel pumps within a specified compliance time. This AD would also prohibit installing any affected engine onto any airplane or any affected fuel pump onto any engine, 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.
