Interim Notice of Funding Availability for Supplemental Discretionary Grants for Capital Investments in Surface Transportation Infrastructure Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and Request for Comments on Grant Criteria
On February 17, 2009, the President of the United States signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the ``Recovery Act'') to, among other purposes, (1) preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery, (2) invest in transportation infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits, and (3) assist those most affected by the current economic downturn. The Recovery Act appropriated $1.5 billion of discretionary grant funds to be awarded by the Department of Transportation (the ``Department'') for capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure. The Department is referring to these grants as ``Grants for Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery'' or ``TIGER Discretionary Grants.'' This notice requests that applications for TIGER Discretionary Grants be submitted by September 15, 2009, from State and local governments, including U.S. territories, tribal governments, transit agencies, port authorities, other political subdivisions of State or local governments, and multi-State or multi- jurisdictional applicants (``Eligible Applicants''). The funds provided by TIGER Discretionary Grants (``Grant Funds'') will be awarded on a competitive basis to projects that have a significant impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area, or a region.
United Van Lines, LCC-Pooling Agreement
United Van Lines, LLC (United), on behalf of itself and certain affiliated companies, filed an application with the Board under 49 U.S.C. 14302 for approval of revisions to its pooling agreement. The Board establishes a procedural schedule for the submission of public comments on the proposed revisions, principally the requirement that carrier agents may not transport under their own motor carrier authority any interstate shipments of household goods except, subject to United policies, shipments for the government. After reviewing any comments received, the Board will determine whether it has sufficient information to decide whether the proposed revisions meet the standard for approval under section 14302 or whether a hearing is necessary prior to such a determination.
Mayflower Transit, LCC-Pooling Agreement
Mayflower Transit, LLC (Mayflower), on behalf of itself and certain affiliated companies, filed an application with the Board under 49 U.S.C. 14302 for approval of revisions to its pooling agreement. The Board establishes a procedural schedule for the submission of public comments on the proposed revisions, principally the requirement that carrier agents may not transport under their own motor carrier authority any interstate shipments of household goods except, subject to Mayflower policies, shipments for the government. After reviewing any comments received, the Board will determine whether it has sufficient information to decide whether the proposed revisions meet the standard for approval under section 14302 or whether a hearing is necessary prior to such a determination.
Airworthiness Directives; Dowty Propellers Models R354/4-123-F/13, R354/4-123-F/20, R375/4-123-F/21, R389/4-123-F/25, R389/4-123-F/26, and R390/4-123-F/27 Propellers
This supplemental NPRM revises an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Dowty Propellers Models R354/4-123-F/13, R354/4-123-F/20, R375/4-123-F/21, R389/4-123-F/25, R389/4-123-F/26, and R390/4-123-F/27 propellers. That proposed AD would have required initial and repetitive visual inspections of propeller blade root outer sleeves for cracks, and removal before further flight of propeller blades with cracked blade root outer sleeves. That proposed AD resulted from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to identify and correct an unsafe condition on certain Dowty propellers. This supplemental NPRM revises the proposed AD to correct the listing of propeller models affected. This supplemental NPRM results from the discovery that we need to correct one of the propeller model numbers affected, and to remove an erroneous propeller model number. We are proposing this AD to prevent blade counterweight release, which could result in injury or damage to the airplane. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT9D-7R4 Series Turbofan Engines; Correction
The FAA is correcting airworthiness directive (AD) 2009-10-01, which was previously published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to PW JT9D-7R4 series turbofan engines. In the Federal Register, the AD number in the CFR citation of the headings section is incorrect. This document corrects that AD number. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.
Airworthiness Directives; Dowty Propellers Models R354/4-123-F/13, R354/4-123-F/20, R375/4-123-F/21, R389/4-123-F/25, R389/4-123-F/26, and R390/4-123-F/27 Propellers

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP Series Airplanes
The FAA is correcting typographical errors in an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that was published previously in the Federal Register. The error resulted in two incorrect paragraph references. This AD applies to certain Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections of the aft pressure bulkhead for indications of ``oil cans'' and previous oil can repairs at reduced compliance times, and corrective actions if necessary.
