Airworthiness Directives; Cameron Balloons Ltd. Fuel Cylinders
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-13- 03, which applied to a certain Cameron Balloons Ltd. (Cameron) fuel cylinder installed on hot air balloons. AD 2022-13-03 required removing any installed fuel cylinder part number (P/N) CB2990 (Alugas) from service before further flight. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-13-03, the fuel cylinder part number has been identified as CB2990/A instead of CB2990 (Alugas). This AD requires removing any installed fuel cylinders P/N CB2990/A from service before further flight. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-04-15, which applies to certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes. AD 2023-04-15 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-04- 15, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2023-04-15 and would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, 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.

AD 2023-04-13 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-04-13, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2023-04-13 and would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR).

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-10- 08, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A320-214, -251N, and - 271N airplanes. AD 2022-10-08 required a one-time detailed inspection of the affected passenger seats and corrective actions if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-10-08, it was determined that additional passenger seats are affected. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2022-10-08, and also requires inspecting additional affected passenger seats; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes
The FAA proposes to remove Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010- 26-05, which applies to certain Dassault Aviation Model Falcon 10 airplanes; Model FAN JET FALCON, FAN JET FALCON SERIES C, D, E, F, and G airplanes; Model MYSTERE-FALCON 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes; and all Model MYSTERE-FALCON 200 airplanes; Model FALCON 2000 and FALCON 2000EX airplanes; Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 and MYSTERE- FALCON 900 airplanes; and Model FALCON 900EX airplanes. AD 2010-26-05 requires repetitive inspections for overpressure tightness on the pressurization control regulating valves and, if necessary, replacing the affected valve with a serviceable unit. AD 2010-26-05 is no longer necessary because the FAA has since issued ADs 2021-04-20, 2020-02-13, 2020-03-24, 2020-03-19, 2020-01-13, 2023-05-15, 2023-04-10, 2023-02-13, 2023-04-18, and 2023-04-13 to address the unsafe condition. Accordingly, the FAA proposes to remove AD 2010-26-05.

FMCSA is interested in developing a new methodology to determine when a motor carrier is not fit to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in or affecting interstate commerce. FMCSA requests public comment on the need for a rulemaking to revise the regulations prescribing the safety fitness determination process; the available science or technical information to analyze regulatory alternatives for determining the safety fitness of motor carriers; feedback on the Agency's current safety fitness determination (SFD) regulations, including the process and impacts; the available data and costs for regulatory alternatives reasonably likely to be considered as part of this rulemaking; and responses to specific questions in this advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM).
Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the United States Department of Transportation proposes to rename, update and reissue a Department of Transportation (DOT) system of records notice titled, ``Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration; DOT/ FAA 854 Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Waivers and Authorizations.''
