Department of Transportation December 7, 2022 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This action establishes Area Navigation (RNAV) route Q-141 and amends RNAV route Q-437 in support of the Northeast Corridor Atlantic Coast Route Project.

This action amends two low altitude Area Navigation (RNAV) routes (T-routes), and establishes one T-route, in support of the VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. The purpose is to enhance the efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS) by transitioning from ground-based navigation aids to a satellite-based navigation system.

This interim final rule provides procedures to implement certain provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21 NDAA) and the National Defense Authorization for Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22 NDAA). The FY21 NDAA authorized the Secretary of Transportation to establish the Tanker Security Program (TSP) comprised of a fleet of active, commercially viable, militarily useful, privately owned product tank vessels of the United States. The fleet will meet national defense and other security requirements and maintain a United States presence in international commercial shipping. The FY22 NDAA made minor adjustments related to the participation of long-term charters in the TSP. The Maritime Administration solicits written comments on this rulemaking.

Notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request from Golden Triangle Regional Airport Authority (GTRAA) to release and dispose of 143.95 acres of airport property in exchange for 236.14 acres of agricultural land to be used for future aeronautical development. The property proposed for release is made up of three parcels. Parcel 7A is approximately 31.16 acres, Parcel 7B is approximately 58.9 acres, and Parcel 7C is approximately 73.2 acres. These three parcels are currently undeveloped and not needed for aeronautical use. The property is planned to be developed into an airport compatible industrial use aluminum mill. While no money will exchange hands in this transaction, the land to be given to the airport in exchange for the property in question is higher in acreage, value, and utility in accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information collection. The initial Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on April 26, 2022. The collection involves the possibility for airplane manufacturers, for which a newly built airplane is subject to the applicability of Annex 16, Volume III of the Convention on Civil Aviation (hereinafter the ``Chicago Convention''), to submit an electronic datasheet to the FAA for posting to the CO2 Certification Database (CO2DB). The information to be collected will be necessary because of FAA's commitment to help (a) provide publicly available data on the CO2 Metric Value (MV) which represents a measure of fuel burn performance of airplane types against CO2 technology/design standards, (b) track and communicate the improvement in airplane CO2 MVs over time and (c) provide an incentive to improve the CO2 MV of airplane types.

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is issuing Safety Advisory 22-4 to encourage rail transit agencies to implement, update, or expand suicide prevention signage and messaging campaigns that apply best practices for deterring suicide attempts.
