Agency Information Collection Activities; Renewal of an Approved Information Collection: Licensing Applications for Motor Carrier Operating Authority
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FMCSA announces its plan to submit the Information Collection Request (ICR) described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requesting a renewal of an approved information collection for review and approval. This ICR applies to: Existing registrants (i.e., entities that already have a USDOT number and/or operating authority) that are subject to FMCSA's licensing, registration, and certification regulations that wish to apply for additional authorities; and Mexico- domiciled carriers that wish to operate beyond the U.S. municipalities on the U.S.-Mexico border and their commercial zones. Existing registrants seeking additional authorities must use forms OP-1, OP- 1(P), OP-1(FF), and OP-1(NNA), to apply for such authority. Mexico- domiciled carriers seeking the authority described above must apply for such authority using Form OP-1(MX).
Rescinding the Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement: Shelby County, Tennessee
The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that it is rescinding its Notice of Intent (NOI) and will not be preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposed highway project in Shelby County, Tennessee. A NOI to prepare an EIS was published in the Federal Register on February 9, 2009.
Control of Non-Volatile Particulate Matter From Aircraft Engines: Emission Standards and Test Procedures; Correction
The FAA is correcting a final rule published on April 24, 2024. In that document the FAA adopts standards for measuring non- volatile particulate matter (nvPM) exhaust emissions from aircraft engines. With this rulemaking, the FAA implements the nvPM emissions standards adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), allowing manufacturers to certificate engines to the new nvPM emissions standards in the United States and fulfilling the statutory obligations of the FAA under the Clean Air Act. This document corrects errors in the preamble and regulatory text of that document.
Agency Information Collection Activities; Renewal of an Approved Information Collection Request: Motor Carrier Records Change Form
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FMCSA announces its plan to submit the Information Collection Request (ICR) described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. The information collected is required by the Office of Registration to process name changes, address changes, and reinstatements of operating authority for motor carriers, freight forwarders, and brokers. On December 14, 2023, FMCSA published a notice in the Federal Register with a 60-day comment period to announce its intention to submit this ICR to OMB for renewal. FMCSA received no comments in response to the published notice.
Special Conditions: Airbus Helicopters Model H160-B Helicopter; Extended Duration of Flight After Loss of Main Gearbox Lubrication
These special conditions are issued for the Airbus Helicopters (Airbus) Model H160-B helicopter. This helicopter has a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for helicopters. This design feature is the extended duration of continued safe flight and landing beyond 30 minutes after indication to the flightcrew of the loss of main gearbox lubrication. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
Special Conditions: Airbus Model A321neo Extra-Long Range (XLR) Airplane; Cabin Evacuation-Protection From Fuel Tank Explosion Due to External Fuel-Fed Ground Fire
This action proposes special conditions for the Airbus Model A321neoXLR airplane. This airplane will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the technology envisaged by the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. This design feature is an integral rear center tank (RCT). The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for fire-safety performance of fuel-tank skin or structure in a post-crash external fuel-fed ground fire. These proposed special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
Reciprocal Switching for Inadequate Service
The Board adopts new regulations that provide for the prescription of reciprocal switching agreements as a means to promote adequate rail service through access to an additional line haul carrier. Under the new regulations, eligibility for prescription of a reciprocal switching agreement will be determined in part using objective performance standards that address reliability in time of arrival, consistency in transit time, and reliability in providing first-mile and last-mile service. The Board will also consider, in determining whether to prescribe a reciprocal switching agreement, certain affirmative defenses and the practicability of a reciprocal switching agreement. To help implement the new regulations, the Board will require all Class I railroads to submit certain service data on an ongoing and standardized basis, which will be generalized and publicly accessible. Railroads will also be required to provide individualized, machine-readable service data to a customer upon a written request from that customer.
