Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Transportation (DOT) intends to rename, modify and re-issue a DOT Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) system of records notice titled, ``DOT/FAA 845 Administrators Correspondence Control and Hotline Information System, ACCIS, Administrator's Hotline Information System, AHIS, and Consumer Hotline Information System, CHIS.'' The name of this SORN will be changed to ``DOT/FAA 845 Complaint Intake System.'' The modification of the system of records notice (hereafter referred to as ``Notice'') will include the intake records for additional types of allegations that need to be identified in the Notice for purposes of transparency and accountability by FAA. These expanded reports are of actual or perceived aviation safety hazards and potential violations of criminal, civil and administrative laws and regulations, and aviation safety related orders under the regulatory oversight of the FAA. The Suspected Unapproved Program (SUP) complaint intake records covered by the former DOT/FAA 852 SUP Program SORN will be subsumed by this Notice. The records of the complaint investigations and resolutions will be covered by the updated DOT/FAA 852 Complaint Investigations System (formerly SUP Program) SORN, while the complaint intake will be covered by this Notice.

Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan Engines
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) GEnx-1B and GEnx-2B model turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by the detection of melt-related freckles in the forgings and billets, which may reduce the life of certain compressor discharge pressure (CDP) seals, interstage seals, high-pressure turbine (HPT) rotor stage 2 disks, and stages 6-10 compressor rotor spools. This AD requires revising the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the applicable GEnx-1B and GEnx-2B Engine Manual (EM) and the operator's existing approved maintenance program or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate reduced life limits for these parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Bell Textron Inc. Helicopters and Various Restricted Category Helicopters
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bell Textron Inc. Model 204B, 205A, and 205A-1 helicopters and various restricted category helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of cracked main rotor blades (MRBs). This AD requires repetitive inspections of each MRB and removing any cracked MRB from service. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Flight Attendant Duty Period Limitations and Rest Requirements
This action arises out of a statutory mandate in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, which requires rulemaking to increase the minimum rest period for flight attendants in domestic, flag, and supplemental operations who are scheduled for a duty period of 14 hours or less. The statute also requires rulemaking to prohibit reduction of the rest period under any circumstances. Consistent with the statutory mandate, the FAA is amending its regulations to ensure that flight attendants scheduled to a duty period of 14 hours or less are given a scheduled rest period of at least 10 consecutive hours and that the rest period is not reduced under any circumstances.
