In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Maritime Administration (MARAD) intends to establish a new system of records for the United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) entitled ``DOT/MARAD 035USMMA Student Religious Accommodations Files.''

This includes requests for accommodation to decline vaccinations. The information will be used to make determinations for exemptions to vaccination requirements. MARAD/USMMA is required to consider reasonable accommodation requests in accordance with applicable law including the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and Executive Order 13160, Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Race, Sex, Color, National Origin, Disability, Religion, Age, Sexual Orientation, and Status as a Parent in Federally Conducted Education and Training Programs.

Pipeline Safety: Unusually Sensitive Areas for the Great Lakes, Coastal Beaches, and Certain Coastal Waters
Document Number: 2021-27751
Type: Rule
Date: 2021-12-27
Agency: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
PHMSA is amending the pipeline safety regulations to explicitly state that certain coastal waters, the Great Lakes, and coastal beaches are classified as unusually sensitive areas for the purpose of compliance with the hazardous liquid integrity management regulations. This amendment implements mandates contained in the Protecting our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety (PIPES) Act of 2016, as amended by the PIPES Act of 2020. A hazardous liquid pipeline that could affect these newly designated areas must be included in an operator's integrity management program.
Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Pembina, ND
Document Number: 2021-27917
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2021-12-27
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace at Pembina, ND. The FAA is proposing this action due to an airspace review conducted as part of the decommissioning of the Humbolt very high frequency (VHF) omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimal Operational Network (MON) Program. The geographic coordinates of the airport would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Hallock, MN
Document Number: 2021-27916
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2021-12-27
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to amend Class E airspace at Hallock, MN. The FAA is proposing this action due to an airspace review conducted as part of the decommissioning of the Humbolt very high frequency (VHF) omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimal Operational Network (MON) Program.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
Document Number: 2021-27834
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2021-12-27
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-26-01, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122 airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; and Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes. AD 2020-26-01 requires repetitive general visual inspections of the affected main landing gear (MLG) sliding tubes for cracks and replacement if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-26- 01, additional parts and additional airplane models have been identified that may also have been subject to an improper overhaul and are therefore unsafe. This proposed AD would require repetitive general visual inspections of the affected MLG sliding tubes (both retained affected parts and additional affected parts) for cracks and replacement if necessary, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. This proposed AD would also add airplanes to the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
Document Number: 2021-27833
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2021-12-27
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500- 1A11 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of in-service findings of corrosion on the flange of the main landing gear (MLG) lower spindle pin. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the left and right MLG lower spindle pins to detect corrosion, and applicable repair or replacement if necessary, as specified in a Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Proposed Amendment and Removal of Air Traffic Service (ATS) Routes; Eastern United States
Document Number: 2021-27831
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2021-12-27
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to amend three jet routes and remove one jet route in the eastern United States. This action is associated with the decommissioning of the Atlanta VHF Omnidirectional Range and Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) system in support of the VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Minimum Operational Network (MON) to improve the efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS) and reduce dependency on ground-based navigational systems.
Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Multiple Michigan Towns
Document Number: 2021-27920
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2021-12-27
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to amend Class E airspace at Cadillac, MI; Ludington, MI; and Manistee, MI. The FAA is proposing this action due to airspace reviews conducted as part of the decommissioning of the Manistee very high frequency (VHF) omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimal Operational Network (MON) Program. The names and geographic coordinates of various airports would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
