Notice of Intent of Waiver With Respect to Land; Rantoul National Aviation Center-Frank Elliott Field, Rantoul, IL
The FAA is considering a proposal to change 109.91 acres of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of airport property located at Rantoul National Aviation CenterElliott Field, Rantoul, IL. The aforementioned land is not needed for aeronautical use. The subject parcels (13 in total) are located in the western half of the airport, all being west of Runway 18/36, south of Urbana Avenue, east of Century Boulevard, and north of Township Highway 154 S. Many of the subject parcels have old industrial buildings that supported the United States military mission (Chanute Air Force Base) and now are in a state of disrepair. The proposed sale would allow the cost of the repair and maintenance of these old structures to be transferred to the buyers of the parcels and the proceeds of the sale to be used for airport purposes. The parcels would be used for non-aeronautical purposes that are compatible with airport operations.
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Disclosure of Seat Dimensions To Facilitate the Use of Child Safety Seats on Airplanes During Passenger-Carrying Operations

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-14-13, which applies to all The Boeing Company Model 767-200, - 300, -300F, and -400ER series airplanes. AD 2019-14-13 was prompted by reports of uncommanded fore and aft movement of the Captain's and First Officer's seats. AD 2019-14-13 requires identifying the part number, and the serial number if applicable, of the Captain's and First Officer's seats, and applicable on-condition actions for affected seats. AD 2019-14-13 also requires a one-time detailed inspection and repetitive checks of the horizontal movement system (HMS) of the Captain's and First Officer's seats, and applicable on-condition actions. AD 2019-14-13 also provides an optional terminating action for the repetitive actions for certain seats. Since the FAA issued AD 2019- 14-13, the FAA has determined that additional seats are affected by the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would retain the actions required by AD 2019-14-13 and adds an inspection of previously omitted part numbers. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
