Department of Transportation June 12, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

NHTSA invites public comments about our intention to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new information collection. The new information collection would be a one- time, voluntary, and anonymous survey of motorcycle riders to obtain consumer-reported feedback and perspectives on the use and availability of advanced crash avoidance motorcycle technologies. Before a Federal agency can collect certain information from the public, it must receive approval from OMB. Under procedures established by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, before seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit public comment on proposed collections of information, including extensions and reinstatement of previously approved collections. This document describes the proposed motorcycle crash avoidance technology survey for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-10-02, which applies to all Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. AD 2021-10-02 requires repetitive general visual inspections of the left- and right-hand elevator torque tube bearings for any sand, dust, or corrosion; repetitive functional tests of the elevator control system; and replacement of the elevator torque tube bearings if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2021-10-02, the FAA has determined that a new airworthiness limitation is necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require certain actions in AD 2021-10-02 and require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new airworthiness limitations. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
