Federal Railroad Administration's Procedures for Waivers and Safety-Related Proceedings; Withdrawal
Document Number: 2024-31065
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2024-12-31
Agency: Federal Railroad Administration, Department of Transportation
FRA is withdrawing the October 29, 2024, NPRM that proposed to update FRA's procedures for waivers and safety-related proceedings to define the two components of the statutory waiver and suspension standard, "in the public interest" and "consistent with railroad safety."
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes
Document Number: 2024-31379
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2024-12-31
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-19-13, which applies to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600- 1A11 (600), CL-600-2A12 (601), and CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes. AD 2020-19-13 requires a check to identify the manufacturer and part number of the portable oxygen bottle installation, and if necessary, modification of the portable oxygen bottle installation. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-19-13, it was determined that four additional airplanes are subject to the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions specified in AD 2020-19-13 and would expand the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
Document Number: 2024-31378
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2024-12-31
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, -233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; Model A321-211, -212, -213, -231, -232, -251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N, -253NX, - 253NY, -271N, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes; Airbus SAS Model A330-200 series airplanes; Model A330-300 series airplanes; Model A330- 800 series airplanes; Model A330-900 series airplanes; Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes; and Model A380-800 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of corrosion and cracks on the broadband antenna adapter plate during an inspection. This proposed AD would require repetitive general visual inspections (GVI) of the broadband antenna adapter plate, skirt, vents, and attachment fittings and limit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions, 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.
Agency Information Collection Activities; Notice and Request for Comment; Vehicle Information for the General Public
Document Number: 2024-31362
Type: Notice
Date: 2024-12-31
Agency: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) seeks public comment about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) approval on the revision 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 (PRA) of 1995, before seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit public comment on proposed collections of information, including extensions, reinstatements, and renewals of previously approved collections. This document describes one collection of information concerning vehicle safety features for consumer information purposes for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval on Vehicle Information for the General Public (OMB Control number 2127-0629).
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Document Number: 2024-31348
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2024-12-31
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-8, 737-9, and 737-8200 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report indicating that certain clip-on nuts with primer, in lieu of clip-on nuts with cadmium surface finish only (without primer), were inadvertently used to install the self-bonded saddle clamps, which support the fuel tank system tubing inside the left main, center, and right main fuel tanks. This proposed AD would require a general visual inspection (GVI) to identify affected parts, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Agency Information Collection Activities: Request for Comments for a New Information Collection
Document Number: 2024-31393
Type: Notice
Date: 2024-12-31
Agency: Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation
The FHWA has forwarded the information collection request described in this notice to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve a new information collection. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Broker and Freight Forwarder Financial Responsibility; Extension of Compliance Date
Document Number: 2024-30509
Type: Rule
Date: 2024-12-31
Agency: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
FMCSA amends its November 16, 2023, final rule, "Broker and Freight Forwarder Financial Responsibility," by extending the compliance date for certain provisions from January 16, 2025, to January 16, 2026. FMCSA is taking this action because the Agency determined that only its forthcoming online registration system will be used to accept filings and track notifications, and this functionality will not be added to its legacy systems. As the online registration system is not expected to be available before January 16, 2025, FMCSA extends the compliance date to provide regulated entities time to begin using and familiarizing themselves with the system before compliance is required.
