Amendment of Class C Airspace; Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, FL
This action amends the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, FL (FLL), Class C airspace by subdividing the southwest corner of Area E to reduce the lateral boundary of the FLL Class C airspace by creating a new "Area H" southwest of the existing Area E with a floor of 2,600 feet mean sea level (MSL) and a ceiling of 4,000 feet MSL. The FAA is making this amendment to enhance safety and enable more efficient operations for non-participating aircraft operations at North Perry Airport, FL (HWO). Additionally, this action makes multiple minor editorial amendments to the airspace description.
Agency Information Collection Activities: Notice of Request for Reinstatement of a Previously Approved Information Collection
The FHWA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) approval for reinstatement of an existing information collection that is summarized below under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Amendment of RNAV Route Q-33 in the Vicinity of Winnfield, LA
This action proposes to amend United States Area Navigation (RNAV) Route Q-33. The FAA is proposing this action due to the planned decommissioning of the Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) portion of the Sawmill, LA (SWB), VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) navigational aid (NAVAID). The Sawmill VOR is being decommissioned in support of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) program.
Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace and Establishment of Class E Airspace; Flagstaff, AZ
This action proposes to amend the Class D and Class E airspace and establish Class E airspace at Flagstaff Pullman Airport, Flagstaff, AZ. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of a biennial airspace review. This action will bring the airspace into compliance with FAA orders and to support instrument flight rule (IFR) operations.
Airworthiness Directives; CFM International, S.A. Engines
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain CFM International, S.A. (CFM) Model LEAP-1A32 engines. This AD was prompted by a report of multiple events of loss of thrust control during go-around. This AD requires replacement of the full set of fuel nozzles. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-13-10 and AD 2024-04-03, which apply to certain Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2023-13-10 and AD 2024- 04-03 require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-13-10 and AD 2024-04-03, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require certain actions in AD 2023-13-10 and all actions in AD 2024-04-03 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.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
The FAA is revising a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that would apply to all The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, -300ER, and 777F series airplanes. This action revises the NPRM by changing certain proposed actions from ultrasonic inspections (UT) to open hole high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections. The FAA is proposing this airworthiness directive (AD) to address the unsafe condition on these products. Since these actions would impose an additional burden over that in the NPRM, the FAA is requesting comments on this SNPRM.
Advanced Research Projects Agency-Infrastructure; Request for Information
The U.S. Department of Transportation's (U.S. DOT) Advanced Research Projects AgencyInfrastructure (ARPA-I) is seeking statements of qualifications from eligible entities, defined by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 as "an accredited university of higher education in the northeast United States that has experience leading a regional university transportation center [defined as a current or past U.S. DOT-funded Regional University Transportation Center (UTC) grantee] and a proven record of developing, patenting, deploying, and commercializing innovative composite materials and technologies for bridge and other transportation applications, as well as conducting research and developing prototypes using very large-scale polymer-based additive manufacturing". The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is for the U.S. DOT to determine the eligibility of entities seeking to perform research, development, and demonstration tasks on durability, resiliency, and sustainability of bridges and other infrastructure to be funded by ARPA-I as stated in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024. This request for information is not a request for proposals or a notice of funding opportunity. Subsequent to this RFI, ARPA-I intends to develop a Cooperative Agreement with a single institution of higher education if only one respondent is found to be eligible, or to issue a subsequent Request for Proposals to the multiple eligible institutions of higher education identified. Respondents are required to meet the legislative requirements detailed in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024.
Agency Information Collection Activities; Notice and Request for Comment; Reporting of Information and Documents About Potential Defects
NHTSA invites public comments about our intention to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for an extension without change of a currently approved information collection. 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 a collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval on the reporting of information and documents about potential safety defects.

Notice of Proposed Nonavailability Waiver of Buy America Requirements for Certain High-Speed Rail Products for the California Inaugural High-Speed Rail Service Project
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is seeking comments on whether to grant a waiver of its Buy America requirements to the California High-Speed Rail Authority (the Authority) to use certain products that are not produced in the United States for use in the California Inaugural High-Speed Rail Service Project between Merced, California and Bakersfield, California (Project). FRA is funding the Project under the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Program (FSP Program); therefore, FRA's Buy America requirements apply to the Project. FRA's Buy America requirements include both FRA's statutory requirements, which require 100 percent of the manufactured products and steel and iron used in an FRA-funded project to be produced in the United States, and the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA), which requires that all construction materials used in the FRA- funded project be produced in the United States. FRA is not proposing to waive the applicable BABA requirements for construction materials used in the Project. The proposed waiver would apply to the aluminum car shells, signal systems, high-speed rail turnouts and fire alarm systems based on the domestic nonavailability of such products, as identified by the Authority. The Authority estimates that over 98 percent of the total direct dollar expenditures for the Project would be spent on domestically sourced products and labor, including 100 percent of the civil infrastructure costs.

The ICR covers data collected on drivers and carriers participating in the pilot program. No comments were received in response to the 60-day Federal Register notice.
