Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records; Statement of General Routine Uses; Notice of Establishment of Three New General Routine Uses
In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of Transportation's Office of the Secretary of Transportation (DOT/OST) is publishing three new general routine uses for all DOT systems of records. Comment is invited on the three new routine uses. The three new routine uses are needed to clarify: The Department's authority to make disclosures to any person or entity acting on behalf of DOT when the disclosure is necessary to accomplish a DOT function; that the Department may make disclosures to audit or oversight organizations when necessary and relevant to a particular audit or oversight investigation of DOT programs or activities; and that the Department may make disclosures to other governmental entities when necessary for the detection, prevention, disruption, preemption, or mitigation of terrorist activities against the United States, as contemplated by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108- 458) and Executive Order 13388 (October 25, 2005).
Privacy Act of 1974; Department of Transportation Office of the Secretary-DOT/OST-100 Investigative Record System
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Transportation proposes to update and reissue a current Department of Transportation system of records titled, DOT/OST 100 Investigative Record System. This system of records will allow the Department of Transportation Office of the Inspector General to collect and maintain records on individuals who may be complainants, subjects, witnesses, and others who may be identified during the course of an investigation. The records and information collected and maintained in this system are used to document the processing of allegations of violations of criminal, civil, and administrative laws and regulations relating to DOT programs, operations, and employees, as well as contractors and other individuals and entities associated with DOT. As a result of biennial review of the system, this system of records notice has been updated within the system name, system location, categories of individuals and records in the system, authority for maintenance of the system, purposes, routine uses, as well as storage, retrievability, safeguards, retention and disposal, system manager and address, notification procedure, and record source categories. There will be no change to the Privacy Act exemptions in place for this system of records. However, the system of records notice as published in 2000 omitted certain exemptions contained in DOT's Privacy Act regulations. The revised system of records notice will correct this error. Additionally, this notice includes non-substantive changes to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice. This updated and revised system will be included in the Department of Transportation's inventory of record systems.
Public Private Partnerships Public Meeting
The FAA is conducting a public meeting on August 7 regarding program design and implementation of an equipage incentives program for commercial aircraft and general aviation to equip their aircraft with Next Generation Air Transportation (NextGen) capabilities, pursuant to the FAA's authority in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (sec. 221). The purpose of this meeting is to serve as an information sharing session.
Special Conditions: General Electric CT7-2E1 Turboshaft Engine
This action proposes special conditions for the General Electric CT7-2E1 engine model. This engine model will have a novel or unusual design feature which is a combination of two existing ratings into a new rating called ``flat 30-second and 2-minute OEI'' rating. This rating is intended for the continuation of flight of a multi- engine rotorcraft after one engine becomes inoperative. 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 the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
Modification of VOR Federal Airways V-10, V-12, and V-508 in the Vicinity of Olathe, KS
This action modifies three VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways V-10, V-12, and V-508 in the vicinity of Olathe, KS. The FAA is taking this action to adjust the airway route structure due to the planned decommissioning of the Johnson County VOR navigation aid located on Johnson County Executive Airport, Olathe, KS. The establishment of the WETZL fix is canceled due to lack of extended service volume, and replaced with the existing DODSN fix, thereby making a one-degree correction to the Napoleon, MO, radial in the V-10 and V-12 airway descriptions. This action also removes the reference to the decommissioning of the Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) portion of the Johnson County VOR/DME navigation aid, as it remains in service.

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments
This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes 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 safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.
