Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision
FMCSA announces its decision to renew the exemptions from the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for 2 individuals. FMCSA has statutory authority to exempt individuals from the vision requirement if the exemptions granted will not compromise safety. The Agency has concluded that granting these exemption renewals will provide a level of safety that is equivalent to or greater than the level of safety maintained without the exemptions for these commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

FMCSA confirms its decision to exempt 63 individuals from its rule prohibiting persons with insulin-treated diabetes mellitus (ITDM) from operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce. The exemptions enable these individuals to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.

Airworthiness Directives; Lycoming Engines Reciprocating Engines (Type Certificate Previously Held by Textron Lycoming Division, AVCO Corporation)
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Lycoming TIO-540-AJ1A reciprocating engines. This proposed AD was prompted by several reports of cracked engine exhaust pipes. This proposed AD would require inspection of the engine exhaust pipes for cracks and replacement of the turbocharger mounting bracket. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the exhaust system due to cracking, which could lead to uncontrolled engine fire, harmful exhaust gases entering the cabin resulting in crew incapacitation, and damage to the airplane.
Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway Project in Wisconsin
This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA and other Federal Agencies that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to the West Waukesha Bypass Project in Waukesha County, Wisconsin. Those actions grant approvals for the project.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters (Previously Eurocopter France) Helicopters
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-19-19 for certain Eurocopter France Model AS332C, AS332L, AS332L1, AS332L2, and EC225LP helicopters. AD 2013-19-19 required replacing certain serial- numbered main gearbox (MGB) bevel gear vertical shafts and inspecting and replacing, if necessary, each MGB bevel gear vertical shaft (shaft). This new AD requires the same actions as AD 2013-19-19 but corrects an error in the term used to identify an inspection qualification and updates the type certificate holder's name. This AD is prompted by two incidents of emergency ditching after warning indications of loss of MGB oil pressure. These actions are intended to detect a cracked shaft, which could result in loss of MGB oil pressure, loss of the MGB lubrication system, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
Application of Aerodynamics Incorporated for Certificate Authority
The Department of Transportation is directing all interested persons to show cause why it should not deny the application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to engage in interstate scheduled air transportation of persons, property, and mail to Aerodynamics Incorporated, and revoke its certificates to conduct interstate and foreign charter air transportation of persons, property, and mail.
Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Corporation Turboprop and Turboshaft Engines
We are superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 2012-14-06 for certain Rolls-Royce Corporation (RRC) 250-C20, -C20B, and -C20R/2 turboshaft engines. AD 2012-14-06 required a one-time visual inspection and fluorescent-penetrant inspection (FPI) on certain 3rd-stage and 4th-stage turbine wheels for cracks in the turbine blades. This new AD replaces the one-time visual inspection and FPI with repetitive visual inspections and FPIs. This AD also adds certain engine models to the applicability. This AD was prompted by the determination that the one- time inspections required by AD 2012-14-06 should be changed to repetitive inspections. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of 3rd-stage and 4th-stage turbine wheel blades, which could cause engine failure and damage to the aircraft.
