NMFS is opening directed fishing for sablefish with fixed gear managed under the Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program and the Community Development Quota (CDQ) Program. The season will open 1200 hours, Alaska local time (A.l.t.), March 15, 2024, and will close 1200 hours, A.l.t., December 7, 2024. This period is the same as the 2024 commercial halibut fishery opening dates adopted by the International Pacific Halibut Commission, except the hours are not the same. The IFQ and CDQ halibut season dates are the same as specified by a separate publication in the Federal Register of annual management measures, which should be referenced for the halibut specific open and closure times.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) Model CT7-2E1, CT7-2F1, CT7-8A, CT7-8E, CT7-8F5 engines, and various restricted category helicopters with GE Model T700-GE-700,-701A, -701C, -701D/CC, -701D, -401, -401C, CT7-2D or CT7-2D1 engines installed. This AD was prompted by at least four reports of failures of the torque reference tube magnetic insert braze joint of the power turbine drive shaft assembly within the last several months. This AD requires a phase array ultrasonic inspection of the torque reference tube magnetic insert braze joint of the power turbine drive shaft assembly for inadequate braze coverage, and repair or replacement of the power turbine drive shaft assembly if necessary. The FAA previously sent an emergency AD to all known U.S. owners and operators of these engines and helicopters and is now issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB or Bureau) amends Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), to address late fees charged by card issuers that together with their affiliates have one million or more open credit card accounts (referred to as ``Larger Card Issuers'' herein). This final rule adopts a late fee safe harbor threshold of $8 for those issuers and provides that the annual adjustments to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) do not apply to this $8 amount.

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (``EPCA''), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including residential clothes washers (``RCWs''). In this notice of proposed rulemaking (``NOPR''), the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') proposes amended energy conservation standards for RCWs identical to those set forth in a direct final rule published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. If DOE receives adverse comment and determines that such comment may provide a reasonable basis for withdrawal of the direct final rule, DOE will publish a notice of withdrawal and will proceed with this proposed rule.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is revoking the standard of identity and the standard of quality for frozen cherry pie. This action, in part, responds to a citizen petition submitted by the American Bakers Association (ABA). We conclude that these standards are no longer necessary to promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers. Revocation of the standards of identity and quality for frozen cherry pie will provide greater flexibility in the product's manufacture, consistent with comparable, nonstandardized foods available in the marketplace.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action under the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``Act'') to approve the ``Second 10-Year PM10 Maintenance Plan for Sacramento County'' (``Second 10-Year Maintenance Plan'' or ``Plan'') as a revision to the state implementation plan (SIP) for the State of California (``State''). The Second 10-Year Maintenance Plan includes, among other elements, a base year emissions inventory, a maintenance demonstration, contingency provisions, and motor vehicle emissions budgets (``budgets'') for use in transportation conformity determinations, to ensure the continued maintenance of the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter of 10 microns or less (PM10). As part of this rulemaking, the EPA is finalizing its finding that the 2024, 2027, and 2033 motor vehicle emission budgets are adequate for use in transportation conformity.

This document sets forth proposed regulations that would amend the continuing professional education requirements for actuaries enrolled by the Joint Board for the Enrollment of Actuaries (Joint Board). These proposed regulations would remove the physical presence requirement for formal continuing professional education programs required for active enrolled actuaries and the physical location requirement from course certifications. These proposed regulations also would modify the continuing professional education requirement for certain actuaries who seek to return to active enrollment from inactive status due to their failure to timely satisfy the renewal requirements in the first enrollment cycle after their initial enrollment cycle. Finally, the proposed regulations would add a requirement that certificates of instruction for continuing professional education courses include the number of hours counted towards the required number of hours for formal programs. These proposed regulations solely address the enrollment rules of the Joint Board and do not affect pension plans, plan participants, or the general public.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all ATR-GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42 and ATR72 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of incorrect marking and assembly of the two-way valves for the left- and right-hand engine fire extinguishing systems. This AD requires accomplishing a functional check of an affected part; replacing an affected part if necessary; reporting the functional check results; and prohibiting the installation of affected parts; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) seeks comment on amending its rules on compensation from the Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) Fund for providers of Video Relay Service (VRS) to address a number of special situations. The Commission proposes to allow VRS providers additional compensation for responding to a consumer's justified request that a Deaf Interpreter be added to a call. The Commission believes that providing additional compensation for such calls will advance the statutory objective to make functionally equivalent TRS available. The Commission also seeks comment on whether the TRS Fund should support: other methods of communication with eligible TRS users, such as cued language, as a specialized form of VRS; the routing of VRS calls to a Communication Assistant (CA) with a particular skill set or knowledge of a specific subject matter; calls between a VRS user who is deafblind and another VRS user; and, voice carry over (VCO) calls between a TRS user who is deafblind and a hearing user.

This final rule adjusts the level of the maximum daily civil monetary penalty contained in the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) regulations for violations of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), in accordance with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance. The civil penalty inflation adjustment, using a 1.03241 multiplier, accounts for one year of inflation based on the Consumer Price Index spanning from October 2022 to October 2023.

This regulation amends the tolerance expression for residues of the safener cloquintocet-mexyl (acetic acid, [(5-chloro-8- quinolinyl)oxy]-, 1-methylhexyl ester) (CAS Reg. No. 99607-70-2) and its acid metabolite (5-chloro-8-quinlinoxyacetic acid) by removing the active ingredients listed in the tolerance expression so that the safener can be used in any herbicide formulation applied to the listed commodities. Corteva Agriscience submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting the revision to the tolerance expression for residues of the safener cloquintocet- mexyl. There is no change to the numerical tolerances or the listed commodities.

This action extends the comment period for the NPRM titled ``Disclosure of Safety Critical Information'' that was published on January 25, 2024. In that document, the FAA proposed the implementation of certain mandates in the Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act of 2020 by requiring applicants for, and holders of, new and amended transport category airplane type certificates to submit, and subsequently continue to disclose, certain safety critical information to the FAA. The FAA also proposed a requirement for all applicants for type certificates, including new, amended, and supplemental type certificates, to submit a proposed certification plan to the FAA. The FAA is extending the comment period closing date, on request, to allow commenters additional time to analyze the proposed rule and prepare a response.
