Endangered and Threatened Species; Initiation of the 5-Year Review of the Daggernose Shark (Isogomphodon oxyrhynchus)
We, NMFS, announce initiation of the 5-year review of the endangered daggernose shark (Isogomphodon oxyrhynchus). The Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires us to conduct a review of listed species at least once every 5 years to determine whether a species should be removed from the list (i.e., delisted), reclassified from an endangered species to a threatened species (i.e., downlisted), or reclassified from a threatened species to an endangered species (i.e., uplisted). The determination must be based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review. Therefore, we request relevant information (e.g., biology, threats, and conservation efforts) that has become available since our previous review of the species.

Regulatory Authorizations for Migratory Bird and Eagle Possession by the General Public, Educators, and Government Agencies
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are revising current regulatory authorizations and adding new regulatory authorizations for possession of migratory birds and eagles and for other purposes. These regulatory revisions will allow us to authorize the general public, educators, and government agency employees to possess migratory birds and eagles in certain specific situations and still meet our obligations to protect migratory birds and eagles under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. We also are changing the Airborne Hunting Act regulations to clarify what Federal authorizations may be used to comply with that statute.

Preliminary Lists Identifying Manufacturers Subject to Fee Obligations for Five Chemical Substances Undergoing EPA-Initiated Risk Evaluations Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Notice of Availability and Request for Comment
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is announcing the availability of and soliciting comment on the preliminary lists of manufacturers (including importers) of five chemical substances that have been designated as High-Priority Substances for risk evaluation under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and for which fees will be charged. As required by TSCA, EPA established fees to defray a portion of the costs associated with administering certain provisions of TSCA. The comment period provides an opportunity for the public to provide comments, self-identify, or correct errors on the preliminary lists. In addition, manufacturers (including importers) are required to self-identify as a manufacturer (or importer) of one or more the five identified High-Priority Substances irrespective of whether they are included on the preliminary lists, and may use this period to do so. Where appropriate, entities may also avoid or reduce fee obligations by making certain certifications consistent with the TSCA Fees Rule. EPA expects to publish final lists of manufacturers (including importers) subject to fees no later than concurrently with the publication of the final scope documents for risk evaluations of these five High-Priority Substances. Manufacturers (including importers) identified on the final lists will be subject to the applicable fees.
Withdrawal Application and Public Meeting for the Ruby Mountains; Nevada
The United States Forest Service (USFS) has filed an application requesting that the Secretary of the Interior withdraw approximately 264,441.79 acres of Federal lands in the Ruby Mountains from leasing under the mineral and geothermal laws, for 20 years, subject to valid existing rights. The application also includes approximately 44,670.87 acres of non- Federal lands that would be subject to the withdrawal if they are subsequently acquired by the United States. The purpose of the withdrawal would be to preserve the scenic values, recreational opportunities, outdoor economy, rare wildlife and plant habitat, and cultural resources that the Ruby Mountains and neighboring spaces support. The lands would remain open to location and entry under the U.S. mining laws, and subject to mineral material disposal under the Materials Act of 1947. Publication of this notice temporarily segregates the lands for up to 2 years, initiates a 90-day public comment period, and announces to the public an opportunity to comment and participate in a virtual public meeting on the USFS' withdrawal application.

US Swine Health Improvement Plan
We are proposing the creation of regulations governing the US Swine Health Improvement Plan (US SHIP). US SHIP would be a voluntary livestock improvement program aimed at improving biosecurity, traceability, and disease surveillance for swine health. The swine industry has requested the establishment of US SHIP, which builds on an existing pilot program initiated by industry. We propose to codify US SHIP as a Federal regulatory program and allow participating sites to obtain certifications of disease-monitored status for African swine fever and classical swine fever. Establishment of US SHIP would allow participating sites to market their products with the relevant certification status, which could limit disruptions to international and interstate commerce during outbreaks.
Payment of Indemnity and Compensation for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza
We are amending the regulations pertaining to conditions for payment of indemnity for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Specifically, we are requiring commercial poultry premises to successfully pass a biosecurity audit prior to restocking if they were previously HPAI-infected and wish to be eligible for indemnity for the restocked poultry. We are also requiring a biosecurity audit for commercial poultry premises in the buffer zone prior to movement of poultry onto the premises, if the premises wishes to be eligible for indemnity for the poultry moved onto the premises. We are also revising the regulations to preclude indemnity payments for poultry moved onto premises in infected zones if the poultry become infected with HPAI within 14 days following the dissolution of the control area in which the infected zone is located. This action is necessary on an immediate basis in order to ensure that commercial poultry producers who receive indemnity payments for HPAI are taking measures to preclude the introduction and spread of HPAI, and avoiding actions that contribute to its spread. This action amends the regulations to condition indemnity for HPAI accordingly.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-19-13, which applies to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600- 1A11 (600), CL-600-2A12 (601), and CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes. AD 2020-19-13 requires a check to identify the manufacturer and part number of the portable oxygen bottle installation, and if necessary, modification of the portable oxygen bottle installation. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-19-13, it was determined that four additional airplanes are subject to the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions specified in AD 2020-19-13 and would expand the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, -233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; Model A321-211, -212, -213, -231, -232, -251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N, -253NX, - 253NY, -271N, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes; Airbus SAS Model A330-200 series airplanes; Model A330-300 series airplanes; Model A330- 800 series airplanes; Model A330-900 series airplanes; Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes; and Model A380-800 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of corrosion and cracks on the broadband antenna adapter plate during an inspection. This proposed AD would require repetitive general visual inspections (GVI) of the broadband antenna adapter plate, skirt, vents, and attachment fittings and limit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions, 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.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-8, 737-9, and 737-8200 airplanes.
