Special Conditions: Gulfstream Model GVI Airplane; Single-Occupant Side-Facing Seats
This action proposes special conditions for the Gulfstream GVI airplane. This airplane will have a novel or unusual design feature(s) associated with single-occupant side-facing seats. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These proposed special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
CSX Transportation, Inc.-Abandonment Exemption-in Allegany County, Md.
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502, the Board is granting a petition for exemption from the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 10904(f)(4)(A) to permit Eighteen Thirty Group, LLC (Eighteen Thirty) to go forward with its plan to acquire and restore to service an 8.54-mile line of railroad between milepost BAI 27.0 near Morrison and milepost BAI 18.46 at the end of the track near Carlos, in Allegany County, Md. (the Line). Eighteen Thirty is seeking to acquire the Line as a result of the bankruptcy of James Riffin through an agreement with Mark J. Friedman, Chapter 7 Trustee of the Bankruptcy Estate of James Riffin. Because the line previously was acquired from CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) pursuant to the Board's offer of financial assistance provisions at 49 U.S.C. 10904 and 49 CFR 1152.27, section 10904(f)(4)(A) otherwise would prohibit the transfer of the Line to any entity other than CSXT until July 10, 2011.
Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (P&WC) PW305A and PW305B Turbofan Engines
The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to the products listed above. The agency docket No. and the engine type in the subject heading and paragraph (c) in the Summary section and the Regulatory text are incorrect. This document corrects that error. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.
Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company CF6-45 and CF6-50 Series Turbofan Engines
We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to General Electric Company (GE) CF6-45 and CF6-50 series turbofan engines. The existing AD requires replacing certain forward and aft centerbodies of the long fixed core exhaust nozzle (LFCEN) assembly. Since we issued that AD, we became aware that other forward and aft centerbodies are also affected. This proposed AD would add certain new centerbodies requiring replacement. This proposed AD is prompted by the discovery of more part numbers (P/Ns) of centerbodies requiring replacement. We are proposing this AD to prevent the forward and aft centerbody of the LFCEN assembly from separating from the engine, damage to the engine, and damage to the airplane.

FRA is also issuing this notice to solicit public and agency input into the development of the scope of the EIR/EIS and to advise the public that outreach activities conducted by Caltrans and its representatives will be considered in the preparation of the EIR/ EIS. The objective of the Tier-1 EIR/EIS is to evaluate alternatives and present thorough environmental analysis to help make corridor level decisions regarding the level of intercity passenger rail service provided in the corridor, including variations in train frequency, trip time, and on-time performance.
