Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that a spoiler sensor failure may go undetected by the autothrottle (A/T) computer. This AD requires repetitive built-in test equipment (BITE) tests of the A/T computer to detect a spoiler sensor failure, and corrective action if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Amendment of VOR Federal Airways V-24, V-78, V-181, and V-398; and Establishment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Route T-462; in the Vicinity of Watertown, SD
This action amends VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways V-24, V-78, V-181, and V-398, and establishes RNAV route T-462 in the vicinity of Watertown, SD. This action is necessary due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Watertown, SD, VOR/ Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) which provides navigational guidance to portions of the affected VOR Federal airways. The Watertown VOR is being decommissioned as part of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (VOR MON) program.
Proposed Amendment of Class C Airspace; Chicago, IL
This action proposes to amend the Chicago Midway International Airport, IL (MDW) Class C airspace area by extending the existing MDW Class C airspace shelf within 10 nautical miles (NM) of MDW from the southeast counterclockwise to the northeast. The FAA is proposing this action to reduce the risk of midair collisions and enhance the efficient management of air traffic operations in the MDW terminal area.
Airworthiness Directives; Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co. Segelflugzeugbau Gliders
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-14-14, which applies to all Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co. Segelflugzeugbau Model ASW-15 gliders. AD 2022-14-14 requires repetitively inspecting the wing root ribs for cracks, looseness, and damage and replacing any root rib with a crack, a loose rib or lift pin bushing, or any damage. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-14-14, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) superseded its mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) to add all Model ASW-15B gliders to the applicability. This proposed AD is prompted by MCAI originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. This proposed AD would retain the requirements from AD 2022-14-14 of repetitively inspecting the wing root ribs for cracks, looseness, and damage and replacing any root rib with a crack, a loose rib or lift pin bushing, or any damage; and would add the Model ASW-15B gliders to the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Hours of Service; United Parcel Service Inc.; Application for Exemption Renewal
FMCSA announces its decision to provisionally renew a United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS) exemption from various provisions of the mandate to use electronic logging devices (ELD). FMCSA previously granted the exemption to allow (1) all motor carriers and drivers that use portable, driver-based ELDs to record engine data only when the driver is in a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) and the engine is powered, and (2) all motor carriers to configure an ELD with a yard- move mode that does not require a driver to re-input yard-move status every time the tractor is powered off. The Agency has determined that renewal of the temporary exemption would not have an adverse impact on safety, and that a level of safety equivalent to or greater than that provided by the regulation would be maintained. The exemption renewal is for 5 years.
