Commercial Driver's License Standards: Application for Exemption; Navistar, Inc. (Navistar)
Document Number: 2022-20642
Type: Notice
Date: 2022-09-23
Agency: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
FMCSA announces its decision to grant an exemption from the commercial driver's license (CDL) requirements to Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) for a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver, Mr. Anders Bj[ouml]rkman, employed as an engineer by Navistar's business partner Scania AB (Scania). Navistar and Scania are subsidiaries of Germany's TRATON SE. Mr. Bj[ouml]rkman holds a valid Swedish commercial license and wants to test drive Navistar CMVs on U.S. roads to better understand product requirements in ``real world'' environments and verify results. FMCSA reviewed Mr. Bj[ouml]rkman's commercial license records provided by Navistar, and believes the requirements for a Swedish commercial license, and the terms and conditions set forth below, including a Navistar-administered drug and alcohol testing program, will ensure that his operation under this exemption will likely achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater than the level that would be obtained in the absence of the exemption.

Proposed Amendment of V-181 and T-400, and Revocation of V-250 and the Yankton, SD, Low Altitude Reporting Point in the Vicinity of Yankton, SD
Document Number: 2022-20660
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2022-09-23
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to amend VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway V-181 and Area Navigation (RNAV) route T-400 and revoke VOR Federal airway V-250 and the Yankton, SD, Low Altitude Reporting Point. The FAA is proposing this action due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Yankton, SD, VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) navigational aid (NAVAID). The Yankton VOR is being decommissioned in support of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) program.
Airworthiness Directives; ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional Airplanes
Document Number: 2022-20616
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2022-09-23

The FAA proposes to revise a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-18-05, which applies to certain ATR-GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42-200, -300, and -320 airplanes; and AD 2020-09-16, which applies to all ATR-GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42-200, - 300, and -320 airplanes. This action revises the NPRM by including additional new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Since this action would impose an additional burden over those in the NPRM, the FAA is reopening the comment period to allow the public the chance to comment on these changes.
