The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by the discovery of ten ultrasonic inspections associated with airworthiness limitations (AWL) tasks and structural deviation inspection requirements (SDIR) tasks potentially not detecting cracks. This proposed AD would require repetitive ultrasonic inspections of certain structural areas for cracking as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR), and repair of cracking, as applicable. This proposed AD would also prohibit use of the previous revisions of certain procedures and mandate the use of the revised procedures when performing the inspections required by the associated AWL and SDIR tasks. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain MD Helicopters, LLC (MDHI), Model 369, 369A, 369D, 369E, 369F, 369FF, 369H, 369HE, 369HM, 369HS, 500N, and 600N helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a seized and damaged roller bearing in the pilot interconnecting cyclic torque tube (torque tube) assembly. This proposed AD would require repetitively inspecting the torque tube assembly for corrosion and cracks and the roller bearings for corrosion and degradation. This proposed AD would also require repetitively inspecting the torque tube assembly for freedom- of-movement. Depending on the results, this proposed AD would require replacing parts or accomplishing additional inspections. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

On August 2, 2024, the Maritime Administration (MARAD) published a document in the Federal Register inviting public comments on our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). However, the publication contained an incorrect docket number. This notice reflects the corrected docket number "MARAD-2024-0103" and restates the notice requesting comment. Accordingly, MARAD invites public comments on our intention to request OMB approval to renew an information collection in accordance with the PRA. The proposed collection OMB 2133-0517 (Approval of Underwriters for Marine Hull Insurance) will be used to provide approval of foreign underwriters based on an assessment of their financial condition, the regulatory regime under which they operate, and a statement attesting to a lack of discrimination in their country against U.S. hull insurers. The regulations also require that American underwriters be given an opportunity to compete for every placement, thereby necessitating in some cases certification that such opportunity was offered. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies.
