Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders
FMCSA announces its decision to renew exemptions for seven individuals from the requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) that interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers have ``no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition which is likely to cause loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to control a CMV.'' The exemptions enable these individuals who have had one or more seizures and are taking anti-seizure medication to continue to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-24-13, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A318 series airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. AD 2019-24-13 requires repetitive high-frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections for cracking of a stiffener of a certain lateral window frame, and applicable related investigative and corrective actions, as applicable. Since the FAA issued AD 2019-24-13, it was determined that certain inspection times need to be revised. This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2019-24-13, with amended compliance times, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Notice of Intent of Waiver With Respect to Land; Crystal Airport, Minneapolis, Minnesota
The FAA is considering a proposal to change approximately 0.145 acres or 6,319.8 square feet of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the granting of a permanent easement of airport property located at Crystal Airport, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The aforementioned land is not needed for aeronautical use. The easement is to be located on the south side of the airport along the northern portion of Vera Cruz Avenue North. The property is currently a public road and the proposed easement to the City of Crystal will allow the City to maintain the existing roadway and other appurtenances associated with City-related services.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 747-8 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of stress corrosion cracking in certain stringers and end stringer splice assemblies. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the stringers and end stringer splice assemblies for any crack, shim, or gap, and applicable on- condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Revised Carrier Safety Measurement System
Since 2010, FMCSA has used its Safety Measurement System (SMS) to identify motor carriers for safety interventions. The National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) recommended on June 27, 2017, that FMCSA develop and test a new statistical model. This notice explains FMCSA's analysis and the Agency's proposed changes to SMS, announces FMCSA's preview of the proposed changes, and requests comments and input on the Agency's system to identify motor carriers for safety interventions.
