This action amends Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways V-14, V-192, V-210, and V-221 in the vicinity of Muncie, Indiana. The FAA is taking these actions due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Muncie, IN, VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) navigational aid (NAVAID). This NAVAID is being decommissioned as part of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) program.
This action proposes to revoke Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airway V-320 in Alaska due to navigational signal limits causing portions of this route to be unusable. There are two routes with the identifier V-320, one located in the state of Alaska and one located in the state of Michigan. This action only proposes to affect the V-320 located in Alaska. The FAA is also proposing to establish United States Area Navigation (RNAV) Route T-550 near Anchorage, AK.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a proposed rule to increase the efficiency of performance management for non- Senior Executive Service (SES) employees, including General Schedule (GS) and prevailing rate employees. The proposed rule amends the approved patterns of summary levels by removing a "Level 2"; requires agencies to undergo biennial appraisal system certifications with OPM; requires a supervisory critical element for all supervisors covered under this subpart; removes the prohibition of a forced, or standardized, distribution of performance-rating levels; removes the option to grieve a performance rating; and removes the mandatory review of level 1 ratings.
This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports that the low range radio altimeter (LRRA) system has an increased rate of non-computed data (NCD) outputs at low altitudes during approach and landing, which could cause unreliable altimeter function. This proposed AD would require replacing the left and right LRRA transmit and receive coaxial cables with larger gauge coaxial cables. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
This action proposes to amend Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airway V-108 in the vicinity of Concord, California. The FAA is proposing this action due to the planned decommissioning of the Concord VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) navigational aid (NAVAID). This NAVAID is being decommissioned as part of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) program.
This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.
The Department of the Interior (Department or DOI) is adopting the interim final rule (IFR) published on July 3, 2025, with minor changes, as final. In the IFR, DOI provided a 30-day comment period for the public to review and make comments. This final rule addresses public comments and adopts as final the IFR, with certain substantive changes as explained herein. The IFR partially rescinded DOI's regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and made necessary targeted updates to those provisions that were not repealed. DOI will henceforth maintain the majority of its NEPA procedures--which apply only to DOI's internal processes--in a Departmental Handbook separate from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
On October 10, 2025, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) published in the Federal Register a final rule removing regulations. This action addresses arguments raised on rehearing and confirms the effective date of that final rule.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is proposing to amend its Risk Management Program (RMP) regulations by making several proposed changes to the 2024 Safer Communities by Chemical Accident Prevention (SCCAP) rule. The proposed revisions include changes to provisions relating to safer technology and alternatives analyses, information availability, third-party audits, employee participation, community and emergency responder notification, stationary source siting, natural hazards, power loss, declined recommendations documentation, emergency response exercises, process safety information (PSI) and recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices (RAGAGEP), deregistration form information collection, hot work permit retention, and the retail facility definition. These proposed amendments seek to improve chemical process safety by avoiding duplicative requirements, realigning RMP requirements with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Process Safety Management (PSM) requirements, and eliminating unnecessary burdens placed on facilities where there is not specific data available to show that the current RMP standards would reduce or have reduced the number of accidental releases.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) proposes to amend section 380.4 of its regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to expand an existing Categorical Exclusion (CE). A CE describes a category of actions that a Federal agency has determined normally does not significantly affect the quality of the human environment, absent extraordinary circumstances, and so does not trigger NEPA's requirement to prepare an environmental document. The proposed revision would add a category of actions to an existing CE to include terminations or revocations of water power licenses and exemptions that will result in minor or no ground disturbing activity and minor or no changes in reservoir conditions and downstream flows.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 737-8, 737-9, and 737-8200 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of in-flight events of excessive cabin and flight deck temperatures that could not be controlled by the flightcrew using existing procedures. This AD requires revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to provide the flightcrew with operating procedures (non-normal checklists) if a certain circuit breaker in the standby power control unit (SPCU) trips. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-22- 11, which applied to certain Embraer S.A. (Embraer) Model EMB-505 airplanes. AD 2023-22-11 required repetitively replacing the clutch retaining bolt and washer of the aileron autopilot servo mount. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-22-11, the FAA has determined that the applicability should include certain Model EMB-505 airplanes and, for certain airplanes, an additional requirement is necessary for the initial replacement of the retaining bolt and washer. This AD incorporates these additional airplanes into the applicability, adds the additional requirement, and also provides an optional terminating action for the repetitive retaining bolt and washer replacement. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The Economic Adjustment Assistance for Textile Mills (EAATM) program provides qualified domestic users of upland cotton financial assistance that can be used to acquire, construct, install, modernize, develop, convert, or expand land, plant, buildings, equipment, facilities, or machinery used in the manufacture of final cotton products. Under the program, the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) makes payments to eligible domestic users who have entered into an Upland Cotton Domestic User Agreement with AMS to participate in the EAATM. In this final rule, AMS is revising the payment rate from three cents per pound to five cents per pound, applicable August 1, 2025, as provided for in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to amend its regulations prescribing the manner in which prior notice of citizen suits is to be provided as required under the citizen suit provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), the Noise Control Act (NCA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This proposed rulemaking would generally require electronic service to EPA of Notices of Intent (NOIs) to file a citizen suit under the listed environmental statutes. These proposed revisions would help ensure the Agency receives and processes such NOIs in a timely and efficient manner.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) are proposing to revise the rules governing the performance appraisal of senior-level (SL) and scientific or professional (ST) employees, collectively referred to as "senior professionals." This rulemaking would establish a new subpart specifically dedicated to senior professional performance appraisal. The new subpart would align more closely with the SES performance appraisal regulations, eliminate senior professional appraisal programs, remove the prohibition of a forced distribution of performance rating levels, and enhance oversight.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing the repeal of specific amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (EGUs), commonly referred to as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), that were promulgated on May 7, 2024. Specifically, the EPA is repealing the revised filterable particulate matter (fPM) emission standard, which serves as a surrogate for non-mercury hazardous air pollutant (HAP) metals for existing coal- fired EGUs; the revised fPM emission standard compliance demonstration requirements; and the revised mercury (Hg) emission standard for lignite-fired EGUs. The EPA is also making technical, non-substantive clarifications to electronic reporting requirements.
The Census Bureau provides an Age Search service of confidential records from the 1910 to 2020 decennial censuses and can issue an official transcript of the results to authorized individuals. With this rule, the Census Bureau is proposing to increase the fee for conducting an Age Search from $65.00 to $155.00. The Census Bureau is also proposing to increase the additional charge for expedited requests requiring search results within one day from $20.00 per case to $50.00 per case. These changes are needed to reflect the actual operating costs associated with processing an Age Search request which were last revised in 2004.
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-08- 05, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 series airplanes; and Model A330-841 and A330- 941 airplanes. AD 2024-08-05 required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-08- 05, the FAA has determined that additional new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD continues to require certain actions in AD 2024-08-05 until the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, is revised to incorporate the new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The Department of the Interior (DOI or Department), through the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), is revising certain regulatory provisions published in the 2023 final well control rule for drilling, workover, completion, and decommissioning operations. BSEE is proposing revisions to clarify certain reporting and recordkeeping requirements. This rule would reduce duplicative submissions and provide consistency and clarity of information available for BSEE review.
This action establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Providence Seaside Hospital Heliport, Seaside, OR. This action supports instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the heliport.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") is extending the compliance date for the amendments to Form N-PORT that were adopted on September 20, 2023 and relate to the rule under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act") that addresses certain broad categories of investment company names that are likely to mislead investors about an investment company's investments and risks. The compliance dates for those Form N-PORT amendments are extended to November 17, 2027, for fund groups with net assets of $10 billion or more as of the end of their most recent fiscal year; and to May 18, 2028, for fund groups with less than $10 billion in net assets as of the end of their most recent fiscal year.
The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) is issuing this rule to provide $11 billion in one-time bridge payments to American farmers in response to temporary trade market disruptions and increased production costs. Payments under the Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA) Program are intended in part to aid producers until assistance from provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), notably increases in reference prices to major covered commodities, reach eligible famers after October 1, 2026.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") is proposing amendments to reporting requirements on Form N-PORT that apply to certain registered investment companies, including registered open-end funds, registered closed-end funds, and exchange-traded funds organized as unit investment trusts. The proposed amendments would modify provisions adopted in 2024 to provide these funds with an additional fifteen days to file monthly reports of portfolio-related information on Form N-PORT and would restore the quarterly publication frequency that had been in place for over two decades. The Commission is proposing these amendments in light of feedback from market participants and other developments. The Commission is also proposing to streamline or remove certain items and sub-items, reducing reporting burdens in ways that would not significantly affect the Commission's uses of the data and are not expected to significantly affect the public's ability to assess relevant information about a fund. Finally, the Commission is proposing to adjust how funds with share classes that operate as exchange-traded funds report certain information to improve information about this fund structure and to require information about funds' ticker symbols, as well as certain class-level identifiers, as applicable, to facilitate efficient use of the reported information.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Model SA330J helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report that the measured resistance value of the pyrotechnic cartridge of the engine fire extinguisher was out of tolerance. This AD requires repetitively inspecting the pyrotechnical cartridge and, depending on the results of the inspection, accomplishing corrective actions. This AD also prohibits an affected pyrotechnical cartridge from being installed on any helicopter unless certain requirements are met. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
This action corrects the description of the appeals process for applicants or holders of an Inspection Authorization (IA) set forth in a prior Federal Register notice of policy. On August 4, 2011, the Federal Aviation Administration published a document in the Federal Register concerning a notice of policy to clarify the definition of "Actively Engaged" for the purposes of applying for or renewing an IA. That notification contained incorrect information regarding the appeals process for the denial of an IA application for initial issuance or renewal.
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-07- 06, which applied to all Airbus Helicopters Model H160-B helicopters. AD 2025-07-06 required measuring the axial play of the rotating scissors spherical bearings and depending on the results, accomplishing corrective action and reporting inspection results. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-07-06 a determination was made that repetitive inspections for axial play measurements on non-rotating scissors spherical bearings are necessary. This AD retains all of the actions required in AD 2025-07-06 and extends the definition of an affected part to include all serial numbered non-rotating scissors spherical bearings. This AD also prohibits installing affected rotating and non- rotating scissors spherical bearings unless certain requirements are met. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-06-01, which applies to all Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. AD 2025-06-01 requires revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to incorporate the procedures for the flightcrew to manually isolate the opposite functional engine in the event of an engine bleed duct large leak condition. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-06-01, an electronic engine control (EEC) software update has been developed to address the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2025-06-01 and would require installing a certain EEC software update on both engines. This proposed AD would also remove airplanes from the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Model H160-B helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of a fully discharged personal locator beacon (PLB) battery installed on an emergency life-raft system (ELRS), as well as a report where the ropes connecting the two ELRS to the PLB were not correctly attached. This proposed AD would require performing a functional test of the PLB and inspecting the rope connection to the ELRS. Depending on the results of the functional test, this proposed AD would require performing the functional test again or replacing affected parts, and depending on the results of the rope inspection, correctly attaching the wrist strap of the PLB to the ELRS rope. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of a certain part- numbered PLB and the rope connection to the ELRS, unless certain requirements are met. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
This document corrects two outdated references that should have been deleted and one outdated reference in the final rule that appeared in the February 2, 2024 Federal Register titled "Medications for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder," specifying final modified and updated certain provisions related to Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) accreditation, certification, and standards for the treatment of Opioid Use Disorder with Medications for Opioid Use Disorders in OTPs. The effective date of the final rule was April 2, 2024, and the compliance date was October 2, 2024.
