Special Conditions: Turbomeca Ardiden 3K Turboshaft Engine
We are issuing these special conditions for the Turbomeca Ardiden 3K model engines. This engine model will have a novel or unusual design feature that is a 30-minute all engines operating (AEO) power rating for hovering at increased power (HIP). This rating is primarily intended for high-power hovering operations that are normal mission functions. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the FAA considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
Notice of Availability of an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Hudson Yards Concrete Casing Project in New York, New York
This notice advises the public that the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) in coordination with Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for the construction of an underground concrete casing to preserve a right-of- way (ROW) (the proposed Project) for the future expansion of rail service between New Jersey and New York and to support Amtrak's efforts to improve the resiliency of the rail system in the Northeast Corridor (NEC) to address future disasters. Amtrak anticipates constructing the proposed Project using Federal funding and, as the proposed Project sponsor, would design and construct the underground concrete casing. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the Council on Environmental Quality regulations to implement NEPA, the FRA's ``Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts'', the EA examines the potential environmental impacts of constructing an underground concrete casing in the Hudson Yards rail yard in New York, NY (Hudson Yards).
Notice of Opportunity for Public Comment on Surplus Property Release at Sikorsky Memorial Airport, in Bridgeport, CT
Under the provisions of Title 49, U.S.C. 47153(d), notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request from Sikorsky Memorial Airport, in Bridgeport, CT to waive the surplus property requirements for approximately 11 acres of airport property located at Sikorsky Memorial Airport, in Bridgeport, CT. The subject parcels have been used for non-aeronautical purposes for over 25 years under temporary, partial release of surplus property requirements. It has been determined through study and master planning that the subject parcels will not be needed for aeronautical purposes, rather the proceeds of the sale will be used as the sponsors share of needed safety area improvement projects. Full and permanent relief of the surplus property requirements on this specific parcel will allow the airport to make the necessary aviation-safety improvements on the airfield.

Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan Engines
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CF34-8C and CF34-8E turbofan engines with certain part numbers (P/N) of operability bleed valves (OBV) installed. This AD was prompted by three failure events of ring lock fuel fittings on the OBV. Two of those events led to an engine fire. This AD requires the affected OBVs be removed from service and replaced with OBVs eligible for installation. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of OBV ring lock fuel fittings, engine fuel leakage, uncontrolled fire, and damage to the airplane.
