The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 767-200, 767-300, 767-300F, and 767- 400ER airplanes. This AD was prompted by a heavy maintenance check that found corrosion damage on a Model 767 satellite communications (SATCOM) high gain antenna adapter plate. This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections (DET) of the SATCOM high gain antenna adapter plate for corrosion and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
This action proposes to amend domestic Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways V-16, V-35, V-37, V-53, V- 133, V-136, V-143, V-259, V-310, V-364, V-409, V-415, V-454, and V-605 in the eastern United States. The FAA is proposing this action due to the planned decommissioning of the Charlotte, NC (CLT), VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME); Foothills, SC (ODF), VOR/DME; and Holston Mountain, TN (HMV), VOR/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC). This action is in support of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program.
The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA or Authority) is withdrawing its Notice of Proposed Rule and Proposed Rescission of General Statement of Policy or Guidance (the proposal notice) published in the Federal Register on December 21, 2022. The Authority has determined not to revise or rescind its existing regulation concerning the intervals at which federal employees may revoke their written assignments of payroll deductions for the payment of regular and periodic dues allotted to their exclusive representative. In addition, the Authority has decided not to rescind its general statement of policy or guidance in Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 71 FLRA 571 (2020) (Member Abbott concurring; Member DuBester dissenting).
The Department of Justice ("Department") proposes to establish a process for reviewing bar complaints and allegations against its attorneys. Under the proposed rule, before a current or former Department lawyer may participate in any investigative steps initiated by the bar disciplinary authority of a State, Territory, or the District of Columbia in response to allegations that a current or former Department attorney violated an ethics rule while engaging in that attorney's federal duties, the Department will have the right to review the allegations in the first instance and shall request that the bar disciplinary authority suspend any parallel investigations until the completion of the Department's review.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to delay the compliance date for Facility Response Plan (FRP) requirements as well as to make language modifications to align with the Administration's climate change and environmental justice policies in Executive Order 14148 of January 20, 2025. These requirements are for onshore non-transportation-related facilities that could reasonably be expected to cause substantial harm to the environment from a CWA hazardous substance worst case discharge to navigable waters, adjoining shorelines, or the exclusive economic zone. This delay action is necessary to allow the Agency to consider implementation and compliance assistance tools that regulated parties may be able to take advantage of when complying with the new requirements. EPA notes that it cannot quantify the number, nature, and magnitude of covered discharges that may occur during the proposed rule delay period.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a proposed rule to revise its reduction-in-force (RIF) regulations. The proposed rule would make the RIF regulations more streamlined, efficient, and merit-based by prioritizing performance over tenure and length of service when determining which employees will be retained in a RIF and modifying the types of employees who are excluded from RIF competition. OPM also proposes to revise its regulations regarding the reemployment priority list (RPL), career transition assistance program (CTAP), the interagency career transition assistance program (ICTAP), transfers of function, and furloughs.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Schempp-Hirth Flugzeugbau GmbH (Schempp-Hirth) Model STANDARD CIRRUS gliders. This AD was prompted by reports of a broken outer race of the lower ball bearing installed in the all-moving horizontal tailplane drive fitting. This AD requires inspecting the elevator drive fitting to determine the type of lower ball bearing installed, and depending upon the results, replacing the lower ball bearing with a serviceable part. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is issuing a final rule to standardize the format of the National Drug Code (NDC). Under this final rule, all FDA-assigned NDCs will be required to be 12 digits in length with 3 distinct segments and 1 uniform format. The first segment is a 6-digit labeler code, the second segment is a 4-digit product code, and the third segment is a 2-digit package code. Additionally, we are revising the drug product barcode label requirements to permit the use of other data carriers that meet the standards of this final rule.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing regulatory amendments to the hazardous waste manifest regulations to establish a date for sunsetting use of paper manifests in favor of electronic manifests. Phasing out paper manifests would unlock the estimated $28.5 million annual savings through decreased burden to manifest users while also increasing human health and environmental protection through better tracking of hazardous waste and greater transparency for regulators and the public. The proposed rule also introduces several conforming amendments to existing regulations. These include new registration requirements with the EPA's e-Manifest system for RCRA hazardous waste transporters, certain PCB waste generators, and PCB waste transporters. Additionally, the rule updates exception reporting requirements for very small quantity generators (VSQGs) managing hazardous waste from episodic events, as well as for healthcare facilities and reverse distributors handling hazardous waste pharmaceuticals. It also revises discrepancy reporting requirements for owners and operators of hazardous waste facilities operating under standardized permits. Lastly, the proposed rule includes four technical corrections to the import and export requirements to correct EPA's mailing address, remove obsolete text, and correct a citation associated with manifest corrections for export shipments.
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD) is incorporated in FHWA regulations and recognized as the national standard for traffic control devices used on all public roads, bikeways, and private roads open to public travel. The purpose of this final rule is to make technical corrections to revise Standard, Guidance, Option provisions, and supporting information, relating to the traffic control devices in all parts of the MUTCD. The changes provide minor technical corrections and address editorial changes that have been identified since the 11th Edition of the MUTCD was published. The changes promote uniformity and ultimately improve and promote the safe and efficient utilization of roads that are open to public travel. The MUTCD, with these changes incorporated, is being designated as Revision 1 of the 11th Edition of the MUTCD.
By this action, the Department makes a correcting amendment to its Privacy Act regulations. The Department previously amended those regulations via final rule by, among other things, updating eighteen references to an outdated Department position title. The amendatory instructions set forth in that rule, however, omitted mention of two of the paragraphs amended in such way. This action merely corrects that omission and does not make any further changes to the regulations.
The Board is revising its Rules Regarding Delegation of Authority to add delegations previously approved by the Board and to make certain technical corrections.
This final rule implements Amendment 15 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan (HMS FMP) (Amendment 15). This final action modifies the timing of the Mid-Atlantic shark closed area, modifies the boundaries of the Charleston Bump and East Florida Coast closed areas to create low- and/ or high-bycatch-risk areas, and maintains the current boundaries and timing of the DeSoto Canyon closed area. This action also establishes a process to collect data from all the spatial management areas and review that data as needed and on a regular basis, while also renaming the closed areas to more closely reflect their intended uses. This rule does not implement a fleet-wide requirement for vessel owners to pay for electronic monitoring sampling costs as proposed but requires pelagic longline vessel owners to pay for the electronic monitoring sampling costs if their vessels choose to fish within the low-bycatch- risk areas of the Charleston Bump and East Florida Coast spatial management areas. This final action directly affects bottom and pelagic longline fishermen who hold Atlantic HMS fishing permits.
This final rule removes this DoD regulation concerning cooperation with the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) in carrying out OSC's responsibilities to conduct investigations of alleged prohibited personnel practices and ensure the investigation of other allegations of improper or illegal conduct that OSC refers to DoD. This part does not reflect the current policy set forth in the DoD directive referenced in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section, and is being removed rather than updated. The rule does not impose obligations on members of the public. Therefore, this part may be removed from the CFR.
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-2A12 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of low clearance in the right wing between the fuel line flexible coupling and the harness support bracket clip-nut, between the fuel line flexible coupling and hydraulic system, and between the hydraulic system and fuel vent tube. This proposed AD would require rectifying the low clearance condition between the fuel line flexible coupling and the harness support bracket clip-nut, rectifying the low clearance condition between the fuel line flexible coupling and the hydraulic system, and doing an inspection for adequate clearance between the hydraulic system and the fuel vent tube and applicable on-conditions actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is amending its rules related to policies and procedures to simplify licensing requirements for corporate activities and transactions involving national banks and Federal savings associations that have less than $30 billion in total assets and satisfy certain conditions. The final rule is intended to reduce burden on these institutions.
NMFS is considering possible deregulatory action to modify and modernize the North Atlantic Right Whale Vessel Speed Rule. The goal of this initiative is to reduce unnecessary regulatory and economic burdens on the regulated community by replacing current seasonal speed restrictions with alternative management areas and advanced, technology-based, strike-avoidance measures that maintain or enhance conservation efficacy for the endangered North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis).
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing a Notice of Intent to delete six sites and partially delete two sites from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this proposed action. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the applicable states, through their designated state agency, have determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.
The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking amends certain Commission rules for agency organization, as well as rules of practice and procedure. These amendments are intended to improve transparency of current Commission structure and organizational functions. These amendments also promote efficiency for several internal Commission processes. This document informs the public of the filing, invites public comment, and takes other administrative steps.
NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific cod by vessels using pot gear in the Central Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the A season allowance of the 2026 total allowable catch (TAC) of Pacific cod allocated to vessels using pot gear in the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA.
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-21- 02, which applies to Lycoming Engines (Lycoming) model engines that have certain connecting rod assemblies installed. AD 2024-21-02 required repetitive oil inspections for bronze metal particulates and, if found, additional inspections of the connecting rod bushings for damage, proper fit, movement, and wear, and replacement if necessary. As terminating action to the connecting rod bushing inspections, AD 2024-21-02 also required replacement of the connecting rod bushings with parts eligible for installation. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-21- 02, the ship date range for potentially affected parts that may be subject to connecting rod failure has been expanded, and additional parts that are eligible for installation have been identified. This AD requires the actions in AD 2024-21-02 and expands the applicability. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to all Textron Aviation, Inc., Model 525B airplanes. As published, there was an error in Table 1 to paragraph (g) of the AD. This document corrects that error. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co KG (Rotax) Model 915 iSc2 C24 and 915 iSc3 C24 engines. This AD was prompted by a report of a certain collar nut that was not installed on the propeller gearbox. This AD requires a visual inspection of the propeller gearbox to determine if a collar nut is installed on the propeller shaft and, if not installed, replacement of the propeller gearbox with a serviceable propeller gearbox. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is the `gatekeeper' for the Department of Transportation's return-to-duty process (RTD). As the `gatekeeper', the SAP has a crucial role to play in recommending the level of treatment an employee may need in their path to returning to performing a safety-sensitive function after violating the DOT's drug and alcohol testing regulations. Given this critical role, the Department is publishing this notification in response to several SAP/ RTD-related issues that the Department has recently become aware of, to remind DOT-qualified SAPs to follow all the RTD process procedures in the drug and alcohol testing regulation (49 CFR part 40) and to remind DOT-regulated employers of the SAP responsibilities and RTD process.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the deletion of one site, Corozal Well, from the Superfund National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, created under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). In accordance with 40 CFR 300.425(e), sites may be deleted from the NPL where no further response is appropriate. The EPA and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, through the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (PRDNER), have determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed and no further response is appropriate. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve an August 20, 2024 request by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (Oregon) to revise the attainment plan for the Klamath Falls, Oregon, nonattainment area; redesignate the Klamath Falls nonattainment area to attainment for the 2006 24-hour fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS); and approve into the Oregon state implementation plan (SIP) a maintenance plan for the area that demonstrates continued attainment through 2037. This proposed rulemaking includes approving the motor vehicle emission budget for the area and approving updated state rules and the Klamath County Clean Air Ordinance, to be incorporated by reference. EPA proposes these actions pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act).
The final rule entitled Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA) Program was published on February 23, 2026. The Office of Management and Budget cleared the associated information collection requirements (ICR) on February 26, 2026. This document announces approval of the ICR.
Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve the CAA section 111(d) state plan submitted by the State of Texas for sources subject to the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfills Emission Guidelines (EG). The Texas MSW landfills plan was submitted to fulfill the state's obligations under CAA section 111(d) to implement and enforce the requirements under the MSW Landfills EG. The EPA is proposing to approve the state plan and amend the agency regulations in accordance with the requirements of the CAA.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500- 1A11 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of certain fuel transfer float valves failing in the closed position, preventing normal fuel transfer between the center and wing fuel tanks. This AD requires replacing the existing fuel transfer float valves on airplanes approved for extended-range twin-engine operation performance standards (ETOPS). The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing that we have filed a petition, submitted by Ecoflora Cares, c/o Exponent, Inc., proposing that we amend our color additive regulations to provide for the safe use of jagua (genipin-glycine) blue as a color additive in pet foods at levels consistent with good manufacturing practice.
