We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the Santa Ana speckled dace (Rhinichthys gabrielino), a fish species native to California, as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This determination also serves as our 12-month finding on a petition to list the Santa Ana speckled dace. After a review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that listing the species is warranted. Accordingly, we propose to list the Santa Ana speckled dace as a threatened species with protective regulations issued under section 4(d) of the Act ("4(d) rule"). If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would add this species to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and extend the Act's protections to the species. Due to the current lack of data sufficient to perform required analyses, we conclude that the designation of critical habitat for the species is not determinable at this time.

This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument conditions in the affected areas.

This document gives notice of a technical correction to the Department of Labor's final amendment to class prohibited transaction exemption (PTE) 84-14 (the QPAM Exemption), which was published in the Federal Register on April 3, 2024. The QPAM Exemption provides relief from certain prohibited transaction restrictions of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) and Title II of ERISA, as codified in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The corrections in this document fix a typographical error and make a minor clarification to a provision to reflect the Department's original intent for the effect of the amendment. These technical corrections are consistent with the amended exemption's intended scope and the analysis and data relied upon in the Department's final regulatory impact analysis (RIA).

NMFS is proposing to approve, and implement through regulations, measures included in Framework Adjustment 15 to the Monkfish Fishery Management Plan/Framework Adjustment 6 to the Spiny Dogfish Fishery Management Plan, which the New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils jointly adopted and submitted to NMFS for approval. This action would establish area-based gear requirements for vessels fishing in the monkfish and spiny dogfish fisheries with gillnets in order to reduce bycatch of Atlantic sturgeon in these fisheries. This action is necessary to minimize bycatch of Atlantic sturgeon in the monkfish and spiny dogfish fisheries to the extent practicable and fulfill requirements of the Biological Opinion on Ten Fishery Management Plans in the Greater Atlantic Region and the New England Fishery Management Council's Omnibus Habitat Amendment 2.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is seeking comments on proposed amendments to its regulation governing parent companies of industrial banks and industrial loan companies. This regulation, which was adopted in December 2020, requires certain conditions and written commitments in situations that would result in an industrial bank or industrial loan company becoming a subsidiary of a company that is not subject to consolidated supervision by the Federal Reserve Board. The proposed amendments would revise the definition of "Covered Company" to include conversions involving a proposed industrial bank or industrial loan company under section 5 of the Home Owners' Loan Act, or other transactions as determined by the FDIC; ensure that a parent company of an industrial bank subject to a change of control, or a parent company of an industrial bank subject to a merger in which it is the resultant entity, would be subject to the FDIC's regulation; and provide the FDIC the regulatory authority to apply the regulation to other situations where an industrial bank would become a subsidiary of a company that is not subject to Federal consolidated supervision. Additionally, the proposed amendments would clarify the relationship between written commitments and the FDIC's evaluation of the relevant statutory factors. The proposed amendments also would set forth additional criteria that the FDIC would consider when assessing the risks presented to an industrial bank or industrial loan company by its parent company and any affiliates and evaluating the institution's ability to function independently of the parent company and any affiliates.

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-21-05, which applies to certain Saab AB Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) and SAAB 340B airplanes. AD 2017-21-05 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate airworthiness limitations, including new inspection tasks for the drag brace support fitting of the main landing gear (MLG) and to implement corrosion prevention and control program (CPCP) related tasks. Since the FAA issued AD 2017-21-05, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2017-21-05 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.

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Bacillus paralicheniformis strain CH0273 in or on all food commodities when used in accordance with label directions and good agricultural practices. Chr. Hansen, Inc., submitted a petition to the EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of Bacillus paralicheniformis strain CH0273 under FFDCA when used in accordance with this exemption.

This rule implements a recommendation from the Cherry Industry Administrative Board (Board) to establish free and restricted percentages for the 2023-24 crop year under the Federal marketing order for tart cherries grown in the States of Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Our regulation for safety zones within the Captain of the Port, Puget Sound Area of Responsibility identifies the specific location for this launch site and the corresponding safety zone for the event.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of missing or damaged inboard flap seal plate assemblies. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections for cracks of the attaching angles of the inboard flap seal plates and replacement. This proposed AD would also require the eventual replacement of both inboard flap seal plates, which would terminate the repetitive inspections. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

On August 29, 2011, the Department of Homeland Security published a final rule titled "Immigration Benefits Business Transformation, Increment I," which, in part, amended DHS regulations to remove references to form numbers and titles. Two of the amendatory instructions were inadvertently not followed, resulting in errors in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This document describes those errors and corrects the CFR to incorporate the amendments as instructed in the 2011 final rule. This action makes no substantive regulatory changes.

The FDIC is amending its regulations to clarify that it insures the deposits of legacy branches of U.S. insured depository institutions operating in the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (Department or DOT) is proposing to require U.S. and foreign air carriers to seat children aged 13 and under adjacent to at least one accompanying adult at no additional cost beyond the fare, subject to limited exceptions. The Department considers family seating to be a basic service, essential for the provision of adequate air transportation, that must be included in the advertised fare. Under this proposal, a carrier's failure to provide family seating would subject it to civil penalties on a per passenger (child) basis, and if the carrier charged families a fee beyond the fare to secure family seating, the carrier would be subject to civil penalties for each fee imposed.

The Commission is acknowledging a recent Postal Service response to Order No. 7049 regarding proposed changes to analytical principles relating to periodic reports (Proposal Eight).

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-21-08, which applies to certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Model Trent 1000 engines. AD 2023-21-08 requires revisions to the airworthiness limitation section (ALS) of the operator's existing approved aircraft maintenance program (AMP). Since the FAA issued AD 2023-21-08, the manufacturer revised the time limits manual (TLM) to introduce new or more restrictive tasks and limitations and associated thresholds and intervals for life-limited parts, which prompted this AD. This proposed AD would require revisions to the ALS of the operator's existing approved AMP, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has issued Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2024-04, titled, "Whistleblower protections under CFPA section 1057."
