                <P>AD 2025-07-01, 39-23002 (90 FR 15304, April 10, 2025) (AD 2025-07-01) applies to certain part-numbered and serial-numbered THOMMEN AC32 ADCs and requires removing those ADCs from service. The ADCs are installed on, but not limited to, the aircraft models specified in table 1 to paragraph (c)(2) of the AD.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Need for the Correction</HD>
                <P>As published, three aircraft models contained typographical errors. Table 1 to paragraph (c)(2) of the AD referred to Airbus Helicopters Model “AS3323L2” when the correct model is “AS332L2.” In addition, Table 1 to paragraph (c)(2) of the AD referred to Leonardo S.p.a. Model “A10A” and “1099SP” when the correct models are “A109A” and “AW109SP.” These aircraft model errors do not affect compliance with the AD because table 1 to paragraph (c)(2) of the AD provides some, but not all, aircraft models on which an applicable ADC may be installed.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51</HD>
                <P>The FAA reviewed THOMMEN AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT Service Bulletin SB AC32/07, Revision 1.0, dated August 31, 2023 (THOMMEN SB AC32/07, Revision 1.0). This material specifies procedures for determining if an aircraft is equipped with an affected AC32 Digital ADC listed in Appendix A, determining if the actions specified in THOMMEN SB AC32/07, Revision 1.0, were already accomplished, and replacing any affected THOMMEN AC32 Digital ADC.</P>

                    This material is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the

                <P>
                    This document corrects three errors and correctly adds the AD as an amendment to 14 CFR 39.13. Although no other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been corrected, the FAA is publishing the entire rule in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                    .
                </P>
                <P>The effective date of this AD remains May 15, 2025.</P>
                <P>Since this action only corrects three typographical errors and does not affect compliance with the AD, it has no adverse economic impact and imposes no additional burden on any person. Therefore, the FAA has determined that notice and public procedures are unnecessary.</P>

                <P>The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule under the authority in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). This statutory provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those procedures are “impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.” The Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this rule because it is needed for emergency response to an oil spill from a leaking pipeline which began around April 26, 2025. Immediate action is needed to respond to the potential safety impacts associated with oil contamination and the clean-up operations. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because we must establish this safety zone immediately.</P>
                <P>
                    Also, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                    . Delaying the effective date of this rule would be contrary to the public interest because immediate action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with the oil spill.
                </P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule</HD>
                <P>The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The Captain of the Port Sector New Orleans (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with ongoing contamination and cleanup efforts due to an oil spill will be a safety concern to all persons and critical infrastructure within the vicinity of the oil spill.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">IV. Discussion of the Rule</HD>
                <P>This rule establishes a safety zone from April 30, 2025 through May 19, 2025. The safety zone encompasses all waters within one nautical mile in all directions around well #59, at approximate position 29°04′28.919″ N, 089°10′48.720″ W, near the Pass A Loutre State Wildlife Management Area. The duration of the zone is intended to protect persons and critical infrastructure from the potential contamination due to an oil spill and active clean-up operations in the Gulf of America. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">V. Regulatory Analyses</HD>
                <P>We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD2">A. Regulatory Planning and Review</HD>
                <P>Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits. This rule has not been designated a “significant regulatory action,” under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).</P>
                <P>This regulatory action determination is based on the size, location, and duration of the safety zone. This safety zone will impact a relatively small, designated area of the Gulf of America that has been impacted by a significant oil spill, and within which active clean-up operations are occurring. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone, and the rule will allow vessels to seek permission to transit through the zone when it is safe to do so, and with the permission of the Captain of the Port.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD2">B. Impact on Small Entities</HD>
                <P>The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term “small entities” comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.</P>
                <P>While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any vessel owner or operator.</P>
                <P>
                    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small entities in understanding this rule. If the rule will affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please call or email the person listed in the 
                    <E T="02">FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT</E>
                     section.
                </P>
                <P>
                    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19125"/>
                    Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.
                </P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD2">C. Collection of Information</HD>
                <P>This rule will not call for a new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD2">D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments</HD>
                <P>A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 13132.</P>
                <P>Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD2">E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act</HD>
                <P>The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD2">F. Environment</HD>
                <P>
                    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves an emergency safety zone that will prohibit entry one nautical mile in all directions around well #59 at approximate position 29°04′28.919″ N, 089°10′48.720″ W near the Pass A Loutre State Wildlife Management Area. It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(d) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see the

                    On December 30, 2024, NMFS published a proposed rule in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     (89 FR 106400) to implement Resolution C-24-02 (

                    ) adopted by the IATTC in September 2024. The proposed rule contains additional background information, including information on the IATTC and its Convention Area, the international obligations of the United States as an IATTC member, and the need for regulations. The 30-day public comment period for the proposed rule closed on January 29, 2025. NMFS received no comments on the proposed rule or supporting documents.

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">IATTC PBT Resolutions</HD>
                <P>The IATTC has adopted PBF catch limits in the IATTC Convention Area since 2012. The IATTC Convention Area is defined as waters of the EPO within the area bounded by the west coast of the Americas and by 50° N latitude, 150° W longitude, and 50° S latitude. For more information about previous management measures, see the final rules implementing Resolution C-14-06 (80 FR 38986, July 8, 2015), Resolution C-16-08 (82 FR 18704, April 21, 2017), Resolutions C-18-01 and C-18-02 (84 FR 18409, May 1, 2019), Resolution C-20-02 (86 FR 16303, March 29, 2021), and Resolution C-21-05 (87 FR 47939, August 05, 2022).</P>
                <P>
                    At its 102nd Meeting in September 2024, the IATTC adopted Resolution C-24-02, which establishes catch limits consistent with the 2024 Joint IATTC-NC Working Group on Pacific Bluefin Tuna Management (JWG) recommendation and contains catch increases for the United States. The 2025-2026 biennial catch limit for the United States established in C-24-02 was 1,822 mt, not to exceed 1,285 mt in any one year. The catch and trip limits in this rulemaking represent approximately an 80 percent increase over the most recent (
                    <E T="03">i.e.,</E>
                     2022-2024) management regime for the United States (87 FR 47939, August 5, 2022). This is based on a recent 2024 stock assessment and subsequent NMFS status determinations determining the PBF stock in the EPO is not experiencing overfishing and is no longer overfished.
                </P>
                <P>
                    As in previous resolutions, an IATTC member may add to the new catch limit any under-harvest from the previous catch limit in an amount not to exceed 5 percent of the last biennial catch limit. In this case, the United States may add up to 5 percent of 1,017 mt (
                    <E T="03">i.e.,</E>
                     50.85 mt) from 2023-2024 to the 2025-2026 biennial catch limit. From Pacific Fisheries Information Network reports, U.S. commercial vessels caught 316.5 mt of PBT in 2023-2024. Therefore, the under-harvest from the previous biennial catch limit far exceeds 5 percent. NMFS has added 5 percent of the last biennial catch limit (50.85 mt) to the 2025-2026 biennial catch limit. Therefore, the final 2025-2026 biennial catch limit is 1,872.85 mt.

                <P>Consistent with recommendations from the Pacific Fishery Management Council and its advisory bodies, this rule establishes trip limits for 2025 and 2026 while maintaining an adaptive management approach. The intent behind these trip limits is to encourage U.S. vessel owners and operators to fully utilize the U.S. catch limit while allowing ample opportunity for multiple gear types. Trip limits adjust seasonally, with the intent to ensure a portion of the annual catch limit remains available to smaller-volume gear types throughout the year. The annual catch and trip limits are described in detail below.</P>

                <P>The annual catch limit for 2025 is 1,285 mt. The annual catch limit for 2026 is the total cumulative catch in 2025 subtracted from the biennial limit, not to exceed 1,285 mt. The initial trip limit for both 2025 and 2026 is 60 mt and adjusts as follows:</P>

                    Under this rulemaking, NMFS will use available fishery information (
                    <E T="03">i.e.,</E>
                     landing receipts) to estimate when the overall catch is expected to reach thresholds at which the agency would reduce the trip limit. NMFS will then make decisions on in-season actions to reduce the trip limit or close the fishery based on those estimates.

                     50 CFR 300.25(g)(8)), if an in-season action taken under paragraphs is based on an overestimate of actual catch, NMFS will reverse that action in the timeliest possible manner, provided NMFS finds that reversing that action is consistent with the management objectives for the affected species. This rule maintains that requirement.

                    . This rule maintains these announcement procedures.
                </P>
                <P>In 2025-2026, if NMFS determines based on landing receipts or other available information that cumulative catch is expected to meet any of the thresholds described above, an intermediate or lower trip limit will be imposed by NMFS using the in-season action procedures described above. Upon the effective date of an in-season action to change trip limits, targeting, retaining on board, transshipping, or landing PBF in the Convention Area in violation of the in-season action will be prohibited, with the exception that any PBF already on board a fishing vessel on the effective date of the notification of in-season action may be retained on board and landed or transshipped within 24 hours after the effective date of the notice, to the extent authorized by applicable laws and regulations. If NMFS determines in 2025 or 2026 that the annual catch limits are expected to be reached, NMFS will close the fishery effective upon the date provided in the notification. The exception allowing any PBF already on board a fishing vessel on the effective date of the notice to be retained, landed, or transshipped will apply, provided they are landed or transshipped within 14 days after the closure date, to the extent authorized by applicable laws and regulations.</P>

                <P>NMFS manages the Gulf reef fish fishery, which includes red snapper, under the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf (FMP). The Gulf Council prepared the FMP, which was approved by the Secretary of Commerce, and NMFS implements the FMP through regulations at 50 CFR part 622 under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). All red snapper weights discussed in this temporary rule are in round weight.</P>
                <P>Through this temporary rule, NMFS implements accountability measures for the red snapper recreational sector private angling component in the Gulf of America (Gulf) off Louisiana for the 2025 fishing year. Executive Order 14172, “Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness” (Jan. 20, 2025), directs that the Gulf of Mexico be renamed the Gulf of America. Consistent with the order, this action uses Gulf of America to refer the area known as the Gulf of Mexico in the specific regulations at 50 CFR part 622.</P>
                <P>In 2015, Amendment 40 to the FMP established two components within the recreational sector fishing for red snapper: the private angling component, and the Federal charter vessel and headboat (for-hire) component (80 FR 22422, April 22, 2015). In 2020, NMFS implemented Amendments 50 A-F to the FMP, which delegated authority to the Gulf states (Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas) to establish specific management measures for the harvest of red snapper in Federal waters of the Gulf by the private angling component of the recreational sector (85 FR 6819, February 6, 2020). These amendments allocated a portion of the private angling ACL to each state, and each state is required to constrain landings to its allocation as part of state management. The Louisiana regional management area private angling component ACL is 934,587 lb (423,922 kg) (50 CFR 622.23(a)(1)(ii)(A)).</P>
                <P>Regulations at 50 CFR 622.23(b) require that if a state's red snapper private angling component landings exceed the applicable state's component ACL, then in the following fishing year, that state's private angling ACL will be reduced by the amount of that ACL overage in the prior fishing year. Based on data provided by the LDWF, NMFS has determined that 2024 landings of red snapper from Louisiana for the private angling component, which includes landings for state charter vessels, were 974,219 lb (441,898 kg); which is 39,632 lb (17,977 kg) greater than the 2024 Louisiana ACL of 934,587 lb (423,922 kg). Accordingly, for the 2025 fishing year, this temporary rule reduces the Louisiana 2025 ACL by the amount of the 2024 overage. This reduction results in a revised 2025 private angling ACL for Louisiana of 894,955 lb (405,945 kg). The LDWF is responsible for ensuring that 2025 private angling component landings in the state's regional management area do not exceed the adjusted 2025 Louisiana ACL.</P>
                <P>
                    The recreational private angling component ACLs for the other Gulf state management areas for 2025 are unaffected by this temporary rule. The reduction in the 2025 red snapper private angling component ACL for the Louisiana regional management area is effective at 12:01 a.m., local time, on May 6, 2025, and will remain in effect until 12:01 a.m., local time, on January 1, 2026.

                <P>NMFS issues this action pursuant to section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. This action is required under 50 CFR 622.23(b) which was issued pursuant to section 304(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866.</P>
                <P>Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), there is good cause to waive prior notice and opportunity for public comment on this action. Such procedures are unnecessary because the rule implementing the post-season ACL adjustment authority has already been subject to notice and comment, and all that remains is to notify the public of the ACL overage adjustment to reduce the private angling component ACLs for the Louisiana regional management area. Such procedures are contrary to the public interest because a failure to implement the ACL overage adjustment immediately may result in confusion among the public about what ACL is in effect for Louisiana for the 2025 fishing year. This action is based on the best scientific information available.</P>
                <P>For the aforementioned reasons, there is also good cause to waive the 30-day delay in the effectiveness of the action under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).</P>

                    <P>NMFS is adjusting the daily retention limits for the bluefin tuna (BFT) General and Harpoon categories. Specific to the General category, NMFS is adjusting the daily retention limit for the month of June from the default of three large medium or giant BFT to one large medium or giant BFT. This daily retention limit applies to Atlantic Tunas General category (commercial) permitted vessels and Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Charter/Headboat permitted vessels with a commercial sale endorsement when fishing commercially for BFT. This daily retention limit will be effective for the month of June or until further modified. Specific to the Harpoon category, NMFS is modifying the daily retention limit from the default of no more than 10 large medium and giant BFT to 5 large medium or giant BFT. The incidental catch limit of two large medium BFT per vessel per day/trip remains unchanged. These retention limits apply to Atlantic Tunas Harpoon category permitted vessels for the remainder of the 2025 Harpoon category fishing season, which concludes on November 15, 2025, or until further modified.</P>

                    Atlantic BFT fisheries are managed under the 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan (HMS FMP) and its amendments, pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act; 16 U.S.C. 1801 
                    <E T="03">et seq.</E>
                    ) and consistent with the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA; 16 U.S.C. 971 
                    <E T="03">et seq.</E>
                    ). ATCA is the implementing statute for binding recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). The HMS FMP and its amendments are implemented by regulations are at 50 CFR part 635. Section 635.27(a) divides the U.S. BFT quota, established by ICCAT and as implemented by the United States among the various domestic fishing categories, per the allocations established in the HMS FMP and its amendments. NMFS is required under the Magnuson-Stevens Act at 16 U.S.C. 1854(g)(1)(D) to provide U.S. fishing vessels with a reasonable opportunity to harvest quotas under relevant international fishery agreements such as the ICCAT Convention, which is implemented domestically pursuant to ATCA.
                </P>
                <P>On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order (E.O.) 14172 (Restoring Names that Honor American Greatness). As part of the order, the Gulf of Mexico is renamed as the Gulf of America. Consistent with the order, this action uses Gulf of America for all references to the area known as the Gulf of Mexico in the specific regulations at 50 CFR part 635.</P>
                <P>
                    As described in § 635.27(a), the current baseline U.S. BFT quota is 1,316.14 metric tons (mt) (not including the 25 mt ICCAT allocated to the United States to account for bycatch of BFT in pelagic longline fisheries in the Northeast Distant Gear Restricted Area). The baseline quota for the General category is 710.7 mt. The General category baseline quota is suballocated to different time periods. Relevant to this action, the baseline subquota for the June through August time period is 355.4 mt. As described at § 635.23(a)(2), the month of June has a default General category daily retention limit of three large medium or giant BFT (measuring 73 inches (185 cm) curved fork length (CFL) or greater) per vessel per day/trip while all other open months (
                    <E T="03">i.e.,</E>
                     January through March and July through December) have a retention limit of one large medium or giant BFT. The General category daily retention limit applies to General category permitted vessels and to HMS Charter/Headboat permitted vessels (when fishing commercially for BFT) (§ 635.23(a)(2)).
                </P>
                <P>
                    The Harpoon category baseline quota is 59.2 mt. As described in § 635.23(d)(1), the overall default Harpoon category daily retention limit is no more than 10 large medium or giant BFT, combined, per vessel per day/trip. As described in § 635.23(d)(2), the incidental daily catch limit is no more than two large medium BFT (
                    <E T="03">i.e.,</E>
                     measuring 73 inches (185 cm) to less than 81 inches (206 cm) CFL) per vessel per day/trip. As an example, if the vessel owner/operator retains two large medium BFT during a day/trip under these default retention limits, they may retain a maximum of 8 giant BFT on that same day/trip.

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Adjustment of General and Harpoon Category Daily Retention Limits</HD>
                <P>
                    NMFS may increase or decrease the General or Harpoon category daily retention limits after considering the regulatory determination criteria under § 635.27(a)(7). For the General category, NMFS may adjust the daily retention 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19131"/>
                    limit of large medium and giant BFT over a range of zero to five BFT per vessel (see § 635.23(a)(3)). For the Harpoon category, NMFS may adjust the overall daily retention limit of large medium and giant BFT, combined, per vessel per day over a range of 5 to 10 BFT per vessel per day (see § 635.23(d)(1)). NMFS may also adjust the incidental daily catch limit for the Harpoon category over a range of two to four large medium BFT per vessel per day (see § 635.23(d)(2)).
                </P>
                <P>
                    As described below, NMFS has considered all relevant determination criteria for adjusting the BFT retention limits in both the General and Harpoon categories. For the General category, after evaluating these criteria, NMFS has decided to decrease the daily retention limit from three to one large medium or giant BFT per vessel per day/trip for the month of June. Because the default retention limit for the months of July and August is already one large medium or giant BFT per vessel per day/trip, this adjustment to the June retention limit means that the retention limit for the entire June through August time period will be one large medium or giant BFT per vessel per day/trip until NMFS announces via a notice in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     another adjustment to the retention limit.
                </P>
                <P>
                    For the Harpoon category, NMFS has decided to decrease the overall daily retention limit to no more than five large medium and giant BFT, combined, per vessel per day/trip (
                    <E T="03">i.e.,</E>
                     BFT measuring 73 inches (185 cm) CFL or greater). This action maintains the incidental daily catch limit of two large medium BFT (
                    <E T="03">i.e.,</E>
                     measuring 73 inches (185 cm) to less than 81 inches (206 cm) CFL) per vessel per day/trip. As such, if two large medium BFT are retained during a day/trip, no more than three giant BFT may be retained on the same day/trip. Similarly, if no large medium BFT are retained, then all five BFT could be giant BFT. This adjustment would apply from June 1 through the remainder of the 2025 Harpoon category fishing season, which concludes on November 15, 2025, or until NMFS announces via a notice in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     another adjustment to the retention limit.
                </P>
                <P>Regardless of the duration of a fishing trip, no more than a single day's daily retention limit may be possessed or retained at the end of the trip for both the General and Harpoon category vessels (see § 635.23(a)(4) for General category and § 635.23(d)(3) for Harpoon category). For example, whether a General category vessel takes a 2-day trip or makes two trips in 1 day during the June through August time period, the daily limit of one fish may not be exceeded upon landing. Similarly, a Harpoon category vessel cannot exceed the daily limit of five combined large medium and giant BFT, regardless of the trip's length or number of trips in a day. These retention limits are effective in all areas, except for the Gulf of America, where NMFS prohibits targeting fishing for BFT. The General category retention limit applies to vessels permitted in the General category and to those HMS Charter/Headboat permitted vessels with a commercial sale endorsement when fishing commercially for BFT, while the Harpoon category retention limit applies to those vessels permitted in the Harpoon category.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Consideration of the Determination Criteria</HD>
                <P>As described above, under § 635.23(a)(4) and (d)(1), NMFS may adjust the daily retention limit of large medium and giant BFT in the General and Harpoon categories after considering the regulatory determination criteria under § 635.27(a)(7). Regarding the usefulness of information obtained from catches in the particular category for biological sampling and monitoring of the status of the stock (§ 635.27(a)(7)(i)), biological samples collected from BFT landed by General or Harpoon category fishermen and provided by BFT dealers continue to provide NMFS with valuable parts and data for ongoing scientific studies of BFT age and growth, migration, and reproductive status. Additional opportunity to land BFT in the General and Harpoon categories would support the continued collection of a broad range of data for these studies and for stock monitoring purposes.</P>
                <P>
                    NMFS also considered the catches of the General category quota to date and the likelihood of closure of the General category if no adjustment is made (§ 635.27(a)(7)(ii)). Commercial-size BFT are anticipated to migrate to the fishing grounds off the northeast U.S. coast by early June. Prior to this year, the default General category daily retention limit in June was one BFT per vessel; the default limit was increased to three fish in a General category effort control rule in 2024 (89 FR 47095, May 31, 2024). In past years, given the typically slow catch rates in early June in the General category, NMFS would increase the retention limit from one BFT to three BFT per vessel for a short period of time, and when catch rates increased in late June, NMFS would reduce the retention limit from three BFT per vessel back to the default limit of one BFT per vessel. In these actions, NMFS often noted that when the retention limit was three BFT per vessel, the vast majority of successful trips (
                    <E T="03">i.e.,</E>
                     General or Charter/Headboat trips on which at least one BFT is landed under General category quota) landed only one or two BFT. However, landings in June 2024 were higher than past years (
                    <E T="03">e.g.,</E>
                     78 mt in 2024 compared to 58 and 46 mt in 2022 and 2023, respectively). Additionally, high landing rates earlier this year indicate there are a number of commercial-sized BFT available. As such, NMFS anticipates that landings during this time period this year will be similar to, or could exceed, 2024 landings. Given the possibility of heavy landings in June, NMFS believes decreasing the daily retention limit to one BFT would assist in extending the time it takes to harvest the June through August subquota and avoiding premature closure. NMFS notes that in 2020, NMFS maintained a retention limit of one BFT per vessel for the General category June through August time period and a closure of that time period was not needed. If catch rates are lower than expected, NMFS could take another action later in the season to increase the trip limit.
                </P>
                <P>
                    NMFS also considered the catches of the Harpoon category quota in recent years (
                    <E T="03">i.e.,</E>
                     most recently in 2024). As mentioned above, commercial-size BFT are anticipated to migrate to the fishing grounds off the northeast U.S. coast by early June. Given the possibility of high catch rates in early June, decreasing the retention limit from a combined 10-fish limit to 5-fish per vessel/day could assist in extending the time required to fully harvest the quota. If catch rates are lower than expected, NMFS could take another action later in the season to increase the trip limit.
                </P>
                <P>
                    NMFS also considered the effects of these retention limit adjustments on the BFT stock and the effects of the adjustment on accomplishing the objectives of the HMS FMP (§ 635.27(a)(8)(v) and (vi)). Adjusting the retention limit for both of these categories would be consistent with established quotas and subquotas, which are implemented consistent with ICCAT recommendation 22-10, ATCA, and the objectives of the HMS FMP and amendments. In establishing these quotas and subquotas and associated management measures, ICCAT and NMFS considered the best scientific information available, objectives for stock management and status, and effects on the stock. Making these adjustments is in line with the established management measures and stock status determinations. It is also important that NMFS limit landings to the subquotas both to adhere to the 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19132"/>
                    subquota allocations and to ensure that landings are as consistent as possible with the pattern of fishing mortality (
                    <E T="03">e.g.,</E>
                     fish caught at each age) that was assumed in the latest stock assessment. These retention limit adjustments are consistent with those objectives.
                </P>
                <P>Another principal consideration in setting the retention limit is the objective of providing opportunities to harvest the available General category and Harpoon category quota without exceeding the annual quota. This consideration is based on the objectives of the HMS FMP and its amendments, and includes achieving optimum yield on a continuing basis and optimizing the ability of all permit categories to harvest available BFT quota allocations (related to § 635.27(a)(7)(x)). NMFS anticipates that General category participants will have opportunities to harvest their quota in 2025 through proactive inseason management, such as adjustments to retention limits, as feasible. During the June through August period, NMFS will closely monitor General category catch rates associated with various gear types and adjust the daily retention limit accordingly to enhance scientific data collection and ensure fishing opportunities align with respective subquotas. Similarly, for the Harpoon category, NMFS will actively monitor catch rates and adjust the daily retention limit as needed throughout the fishing season to facilitate scientific data collection and maintain fishing opportunities while preventing the exceedance of available quota. In past years NMFS noted that a limit lower than three fish at the start of the June through August time period could result in diminished fishing opportunities for those General category vessels using harpoon gear, based on past fish behavior early in the season. However, in light of anticipated heavy landings for the June through August time period, NMFS believes a one-fish retention limit will provide equitable fishing opportunities for all General category participants to harvest the June through August subquota. For the Harpoon category, an overall 10 fish (combined) daily retention limit could result in diminished fishing opportunities, and the premature closure of the Harpoon category. A five-fish (combined) daily retention limit for the remainder of the fishing season will provide equitable fishing opportunities for all Harpoon category participants.</P>
                <P>Given these considerations, NMFS has determined that a one-fish daily retention limit for the General category and a five-fish (combined) daily retention limit for the Harpoon category are warranted for their respective parts of the fishing season. These retention limits would provide a reasonable opportunity to harvest the available U.S. BFT quota, without exceeding it, while maintaining an equitable distribution of fishing opportunities; help optimize the ability of the General category and Harpoon category to harvest their available quotas; allow the collection of a broad range of data for stock monitoring purposes; and be consistent with the objectives of the HMS FMP and amendments.  </P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Monitoring and Reporting</HD>
                <P>
                    NMFS will continue to monitor the BFT fishery closely. Per § 635.5(b)(2)(i)(A), dealers are required to submit landing reports within 24 hours of receiving BFT. Late reporting by dealers compromises NMFS' ability to timely implement actions such as quota and retention limit adjustment, as well as closures, and may result in enforcement actions. Additionally, and separate from the dealer reporting requirement, General category, Harpoon category, and HMS Charter/Headboat permitted vessel owners are required per § 635.5(a)(4) to report their own catch of all BFT retained or discarded dead within 24 hours of the landing(s) or end of each trip, by accessing 
                    <E T="03">https://hmspermits.noaa.gov</E>
                     or by using the HMS Catch Reporting app, or calling (888) 872-8862 (Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.).
                </P>
                <P>
                    Depending on the level of fishing effort and catch rates of BFT at that time, and after consideration of all the criteria specified at § 635.27(a)(7), NMFS may determine that additional adjustments are necessary to ensure available subquotas are not exceeded or to enhance scientific data collection from, and fishing opportunities in, all geographic areas. If needed, subsequent adjustments will be published in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                    . In addition, fishermen may access

                <P>NMFS issues this action pursuant to section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act (16 U.S.C. 1855(d)) and regulations at 50 CFR part 635 and this action is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866.</P>
                <P>The Assistant Administrator for NMFS (AA) finds that pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 533(b)(B), there is good cause to waive prior notice of, and an opportunity for public comment on, this action because it is impracticable and contrary to the public interest for the following reasons. Specifically, the regulations implementing the HMS FMP and its amendments provide for inseason retention limit adjustments to respond to the unpredictable nature of BFT availability on the fishing grounds, the migratory nature of this species, and the regional variations in the BFT fishery. Providing for prior notice and opportunity to comment is impracticable and contrary to the public interest as this fishery is currently underway and, based on available BFT quotas, recent fishery performance, and the presence of BFT on fishing grounds, responsive adjustments to both the General and Harpoon category BFT daily retention limits from their default levels are warranted. These adjustments aim to enable fishermen to capitalize on the availability of fish and quota. NMFS could not have proposed these adjustments earlier as it needed to thoroughly assess updated data and information concerning fishery conditions and this year's landings. Offering a public comment period now, after appropriately considering this data, would prevent fishermen from legally harvesting BFT in alignment with all regulatory criteria. Additionally, it could lead to the use of a retention limit unsuitable to the available quota for the period.</P>
                <P>
                    Adjustment of the General and Harpoon category retention limits needs to be effective June 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter, to minimize any unnecessary disruption in fishing patterns, to allow the impacted sectors to benefit from the adjustment, and to not preclude fishing opportunities for fishermen in geographic areas with access to the fishery only during this time period. Fisheries under the General and Harpoon category daily retention limit will commence on June 1 and thus prior notice would be contrary to the public interest. Delays in decreasing these retention limits would adversely affect General category, Harpoon category, and HMS Charter/Headboat permitted vessels, that would otherwise have an opportunity to harvest BFT if the fishery were to remain open for as long as feasible throughout the year. Limited opportunities to harvest the respective quotas may have negative social and economic impacts for U.S. fishermen that depend upon catching the available quotas designated in the HMS FMP and amendments. Analysis of available data shows that adjustment to the BFT daily retention limits from the default level would decrease any risks of exceeding the ICCAT-allocated quota. NMFS provides notification of retention limit adjustments by publishing the 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19133"/>
                    notice in the

                    <P>The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-1A11 (600), CL-600-2A12 (601), and CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by tail strikes that occurred during landing with partial flap configurations. This proposed AD would require revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to provide the flightcrew with procedures to follow when landing under certain conditions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.</P>

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Background</HD>
                <P>Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued Transport Canada AD CF-2024-19, dated May 30, 2024 (Transport Canada AD CF-2024-19) (also referred to after this as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition on certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-1A11 (600), CL-600-2A12 (601), and CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes. The MCAI states two tail strikes occurred during landing with partial flap configurations. Ensuing investigations concluded the amount of nose-down elevator input applied following touchdown was not enough to maintain the nose landing gear on the ground when thrust reversers were deployed. This tendency for nose-up pitching at high power settings is controllable with elevator and may be minimized by ensuring several actions like nose-down elevator and brake application before deploying thrust reversers.</P>
                <P>
                    The FAA is proposing this AD to address, through improved AFM procedures, an inadequate amount of nose-down elevator input applied following touchdown, which could 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19135"/>
                    cause the inability to maintain the nose landing gear on the ground when thrust reversers are deployed. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in tail strikes.
                </P>
                <P>
                    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at 
                    <E T="03">regulations.gov</E>
                     under Docket No. FAA-2025-0747.

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51</HD>
                <P>The FAA reviewed the following revisions of the AFM that provide procedures that improve the existing guidance to further reduce the risk of a tail strike on landing. The procedures include steps to set flight spoilers to max, apply moderate or greater breaking, and perform other actions to help keep the nose down and reduce the risk of tail strikes by increasing drag and reducing lift. These documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane models and configurations.</P>

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">FAA's Determination</HD>
                <P>This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and material referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM</HD>
                <P>This proposed AD would require revising the existing AFM to provide strengthened procedures to further reduce the risk of a tail strike on landing.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Compliance With AFM Revisions</HD>
                <P>Transport Canada AD CF-2024-19 requires operators to “advise all flight crews of the changes introduced by the AFM revisions to the AFM and thereafter operate the airplane accordingly.” However, this proposed AD would not specifically require those actions as those actions are already required by FAA regulations. FAA regulations require that operators furnish to pilots any changes to the AFM (for example, 14 CFR 121.137), and to ensure the pilots are familiar with the AFM (for example, 14 CFR 91.505). As with any other flightcrew training requirement, training on the updated AFM content is tracked by the operators and recorded in each pilot's training record, which is available for the FAA to review. FAA regulations also require pilots to follow the procedures in the existing AFM including all updates.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Costs of Compliance</HD>
                <P>The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would affect 420 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:</P>

                <P>Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.</P>
                <P>The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements. Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Regulatory Findings</HD>
                <P>The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.</P>
                <P>For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed regulation:</P>
                <P>(1) Is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866,</P>
                <P>(2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and  </P>
                <P>(3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.</P>

                    <P>The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122 airplanes; A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, -133, -151N, -153N, and -171N airplanes; A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, -233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; and A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, -232, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, -251NX, -252NX, -253NX, -253NY, -271NX, and -272NX airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that new airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new 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.</P>

                    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 2024-0208, dated October 25, 2024 (EASA AD 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19158"/>
                    2024-0208) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122 airplanes; A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, -133, -151N, -153N, and -171N airplanes; A320-211, -212, -214, -215, -216, -231, -232, -233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; and A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, -232, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, -251NX, -252NX, -253NX, -253NY, -271NX, and -272NX airplanes. Model A320-215 airplanes are not certificated by the FAA and are not included on the U.S. type certificate data sheet; this proposed AD therefore does not include those airplanes in the applicability. Airplanes with an original airworthiness certificate or original export certificate of airworthiness issued after August 7, 2024, must comply with the airworthiness limitations specified as part of the approved type design and referenced on the type certificate data sheet; this proposed AD therefore does not include those airplanes in the applicability. The MCAI states that new airworthiness limitations have been developed.

                <P>
                    The FAA is proposing this AD to address fatigue cracking, accidental damage, or corrosion in principal structural elements, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at

                    The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2024-0208, which specifies new airworthiness limitations for airplane structures and safe life limits. This material is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the

                <P>This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM</HD>
                <P>This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new airworthiness limitations, which are specified in EASA AD 2024-0208 described previously, as incorporated by reference. Any differences with EASA AD 2024-0208 are identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.</P>
                <P>
                    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator maintenance documents to include new actions (
                    <E T="03">e.g.,</E>
                     inspections). Compliance with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) according to paragraph (j)(1) of this proposed AD.
                </P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Explanation of Required Compliance Information</HD>
                <P>
                    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2024-0208 by reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with EASA AD 2024-0208 through that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular section in EASA AD 2024-0208 does not mean that operators need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD requirement refers to “all required actions and compliance times,” compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section titled “Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)” in EASA AD 2024-0208. Material required by EASA AD 2024-0208 for compliance will be available at 
                    <E T="03">regulations.gov</E>
                     by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2025-0748 after the FAA final rule is published.
                </P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using the New Process</HD>
                <P>The FAA's process of incorporating by reference MCAI ADs as the primary source of information for compliance with corresponding FAA ADs has been limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily those with service bulletins as the primary source of information for accomplishing the actions required by the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now expanding the process to include MCAI ADs that require a change to airworthiness limitation documents, such as airworthiness limitation sections.</P>
                <P>For these ADs that incorporate by reference an MCAI AD that changes airworthiness limitations, the FAA requirements are unchanged. Operators must revise the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in the new airworthiness limitation document. The airworthiness limitations must be followed according to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e).</P>
                <P>
                    The previous format of the airworthiness limitation ADs included a paragraph that specified that no alternative actions (
                    <E T="03">e.g.,</E>
                     inspections) or intervals may be used unless the actions and intervals are approved as an AMOC in accordance with the procedures specified in the AMOC paragraph under “Additional AD Provisions.” This new format includes a “Provisions for Alternative Actions and Intervals” paragraph that does not specifically refer to AMOCs, but operators may still request an AMOC to use an alternative action or interval.
                </P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Costs of Compliance</HD>
                <P>The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would affect 1,924 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:</P>
                <P>The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate. Therefore, the agency estimates the average total cost per operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours × $85 per work-hour).</P>

                    <PRTPAGE P="19159"/>
                    rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
                </P>
                <P>The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements. Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Regulatory Findings</HD>
                <P>The FAA has determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.</P>
                <P>For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed regulation:</P>
                <P>(1) Is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866,</P>
                <P>(2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and</P>
                <P>(3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.</P>

                    <P>The FAA is revising a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A300 series airplanes; Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 series airplanes); and Model A310 series airplanes. This action revises the NPRM by adding airplanes to the applicability. The FAA is proposing this airworthiness directive (AD) to address the unsafe condition on these products. Since this action would impose an additional burden over those in the NPRM, the FAA is requesting comments on this SNPRM.</P>

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Background</HD>
                <P>
                    The FAA issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Airbus SAS Model A300 series airplanes; Model A300-600 series airplanes; and Model A310 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     on December 13, 2024 (89 FR 100926). The NPRM was prompted by AD 2024-0092R1, dated July 10, 2024 (EASA AD 2024-0092R1) (also referred to as the MCAI), issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union. EASA AD 2024-0092R1 states that investigations found cracks on the main deck cargo door (MDCD) actuator bearing fitting caused by fatigue. There is no unsafe condition during flight when the cargo door is fully closed, latched, and locked. However, if not detected and corrected, this cracking could lead to MDCD undamped free fall from the open position during MDCD operations or during cargo loading/off-loading, resulting in injury to people on the ground.
                </P>
                <P>
                    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require an operational limitation to the MDCD opening angle, repetitive detailed visual inspections of the MDCD actuator bearing fittings, and replacement if any cracks are found.

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Actions Since the NPRM Was Issued</HD>
                <P>Since the FAA issued the NPRM, the FAA has determined the applicability of the proposed AD must be revised to add airplanes. The applicability of EASA AD 2024-0092R1 includes airplanes modified in accordance with EASA supplemental type certificate (STC) 10014779 (any revision), EASA STC 10013945 (any revision), or EASA STC 10013960 (any revision). The FAA has determined those EASA STCs correspond to FAA STCs ST00177LA-D, STC ST00178LA-D, STC ST01431NY, and STC ST00100NY. Therefore, the FAA has revised paragraph (c) of the proposed AD to also include airplanes modified in accordance with the FAA STCs.</P>
                <P>The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.</P>
                <P>
                    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at 
                    <E T="03">regulations.gov</E>

                </P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Comments</HD>
                <P>The FAA received comments from Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), who supported the NPRM without change. The FAA also received comments from United Parcel Service (UPS Airlines), who supported the NPRM and had an additional comment.</P>
                <P>The FAA also received additional comments from FedEx Express. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request To Withdraw the NPRM</HD>
                <P>FedEx Express requested that the NPRM be withdrawn for several reasons. First, FedEx Express requested that the NPRM be withdrawn until Airbus has provided a modification to limit the MDCD operation to 70 degrees. FedEx Express stated the operational limitation requirement will be difficult to monitor because door operators will not be prohibited from opening the MDCD to 145 degrees as Airbus does not provide any MDCD modifications to keep its 70-degree limitation. FedEx Express stated it, and other airlines, do not monitor door positions for cargo loading/unloading operations, and cargo loading personnel are permitted to use both 70- and 145-degree positions. FedEx Express also suggested that Airbus Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) A52W016-24, Revision 01, dated July 1, 2024, be revised to include a modification to limit the MDCD to 70 degrees so that FedEx Express and other airlines would not mistakenly violate the proposed AD when released.</P>
                <P>Second, FedEx Express requested the NPRM be withdrawn until Airbus and the FAA provide a consistent wind speed operation for the MDCD. FedEx Express stated that Airbus AOT A52W016-24, Revision 01, dated July 1, 2024, specifies the MDCD cannot be operated at wind speeds equal to or greater than 40 knots. However, FedEx Express noted that Airbus aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) 52-36-00-00 permits the door to be operated at 40 knot wind speeds and furthermore, if the nose or tail of the airplane is put into the wind, the maximum wind speed can be 50 knots. FedEx Express stated the AMM specifies the door cannot be operated at wind speeds exceeding 60 knots, at which time the door must be closed immediately. Based on this information, FedEx Express concluded the documents have contradictory language and that differing wind speed limits could cause a regulatory burden on the airlines when following original equipment manufacturer standards. FedEx Express also suggested that the documents be revised to reflect a consistent wind speed operation on the MDCD.</P>
                <P>
                    Third, FedEx Express requested the NPRM be withdrawn until Airbus has provided an additional inspection procedure so that FedEx Express can detect cracks with more confidence. FedEx Express stated that the proposed method of inspection (
                    <E T="03">i.e.</E>
                    , a detailed visual inspection) is inadequate because it does not fully detect cracks in these fittings unless the forward and aft support bearings are removed. FedEx Express noted that the bearings have a housing assembly that covers the side of the fitting lug holes where it starts to crack. FedEx Express also suggested that Airbus AOT A52W016-24, Revision 01, dated July 1, 2024, be revised to include another set of inspection procedures that would require removing the MDCD door actuating mechanisms and bearings for inspection access. FedEx Express stated that the new inspection can be accomplished with an extended compliance time to schedule the airplane in a heavy check environment with proper tooling and personnel.
                </P>
                <P>Finally, FedEx Express requested the NPRM be withdrawn until Airbus has provided a temporary repair procedure to bridge all airplanes with crack findings at the next C-check opportunity. FedEx Express stated Airbus informed operators it is studying an alternative temporary repair when a crack is found on these fittings that will bridge the airplane until its next C-check for fitting replacement. FedEx Express noted this will help all operators mitigate the operational burden and schedule the airplane to a suitable base location for fitting replacements.</P>
                <P>The FAA does not agree with the request to withdraw the NPRM. To delay this proposed AD would be inappropriate, since the FAA has determined that an unsafe condition exists and that the actions required by this proposed AD must be conducted to ensure continued safety.</P>
                <P>Regarding the request to wait until a modification is developed to limit the MDCD operation to 70 degrees, the FAA notes that Airbus is not planning a modification to block the door at max 70 degrees. The FAA points out that the MDCD opening/closing operation occurs as follows (as described in AMM 52-36-00): When the door toggle switch is pushed to the open position and held, the MDCD stops automatically at the 70-degree opening position and the indicator light comes on. The MDCD toggle switch needs to be released and pushed again to the open position to open the door beyond 70 degrees up to 145 degrees. Therefore, an inadvertent opening of the MDCD beyond a 70-degree opening angle is unlikely. During normal closing, the MDCD initially moves in the open direction for approximately 15 seconds so that the catch hook of the door actuator is released, so the doors slightly open above the 70-degree position. Then the MDCD moves automatically in the closed direction. However, for the purposes of this proposed AD, this short opening is not a deviation from the requirement to not open the door above 70 degrees. In regards to the commenter's statement that operators do not monitor door positions and that cargo loading personnel are permitted to use both 70- and 145-degree positions, the FAA notes that this proposed AD takes precedence over service information that is not mandated by an AD and the operator's current maintenance practices. In order to deviate from the requirements of the proposed AD, operators may request approval of an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) for the alternative actions under the provisions of paragraph (j)(1) of this proposed AD.</P>
                <P>
                    Regarding the request to wait until Airbus and the FAA have provided a consistent wind speed operation for the MDCD, the FAA acknowledges the documents specify different winds speeds. However, the AD takes precedence over service information that is not mandated by an AD. The FAA concurs that the manufacturer should revise its service information to align with the service information mandated by the proposed AD. For 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19162"/>
                    clarification, the manufacturer, not the FAA, revises service information.
                </P>
                <P>Regarding the request to wait until Airbus has provided an additional inspection procedure, the FAA has determined that the detailed visual inspection addresses the unsafe condition and is an adequate means to detect a crack through the bearing fitting with no need to remove forward and aft support bearings. The FAA notes that even if there were a change to the inspection method, it would not justify a change to the inspection compliance times. However, any person may request approval of an AMOC for the inspection method or compliance time under the provisions of paragraph (j)(1) of this proposed AD.</P>
                <P>Finally, regarding the request to wait until Airbus has provided a temporary repair procedure, the temporary repair is being studied by Airbus and stress computations are on-going. As such, the temporary repair is not yet available. However, under the provisions of paragraph (j)(1) of this proposed AD, the FAA will consider requests for approval of an AMOC for a temporary repair or alternative repair if sufficient data are submitted to substantiate that the repair would provide an acceptable level of safety.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request for Addressing a Certain Condition</HD>
                <P>UPS Airlines requested that the proposed AD address the condition if the door is inadvertently opened beyond the 70-degree position. UPS Airlines stated that the proposed AD requires an operational limitation to 70 degrees of the MDCD opening angle. UPS Airlines further stated that Airbus AOT A52W016-24, Revision 01, dated July 1, 2024, allows opening the MDCD to the 145-degree (full-open) position and that there is no electrical or mechanical means to prevent the door from being opened beyond the 70-degree position. UPS Airlines recommended that the proposed AD specify actions if this happens and include a statement to accomplish the inspection mandated by the proposed AD within 10 days. UPS Airlines stated it currently inspects per Airbus AOT A52W016-24, Revision 01, dated July 1, 2024, if the MDCD is inadvertently opened beyond the 70-degree position, in addition to the normal 640 flight cycle inspection interval.</P>
                <P>The FAA disagrees with the request because Note 1 of EASA AD 2024-0092R1 allows for exceeding the 70-degree position for a short period. However, in case the MDCD is opened beyond 70 degrees longer than a short period or an operator wants to deviate from this AD and allow opening the MDCD beyond 70 degrees, then the operator must request an AMOC under the provisions of paragraph (j)(1) of this proposed AD. The FAA has not changed this proposed AD in this regard.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request for Extending the Compliance Time for Multiple Reasons</HD>
                <P>FedEx Express requested that the compliance times be extended for multiple reasons. First, FedEx Express requested an exception be added to paragraph (h) of the proposed AD that extends the compliance times due to this subject not being a safety of flight condition. FedEx Express stated it is concerned the proposed short inspection compliance times will place a great burden on the airlines, especially if a crack is found. FedEx Express noted that the crack on these fittings will not cause the door to fall because the MDCD door is supported with piano hinges hinged to the fuselage and by a door actuating mechanism that locks in the center. FedEx Express stated it has 45 Airbus airplanes above 13,000 flight cycles since the MDCD was installed and has had no adverse door operations observed with these airplanes. FedEx Express recommended the initial and repetitive inspections be revised to 1,000 flight cycles. FedEx Express concluded this will minimize the operational burden and allow scheduling the airplane to a suitable base location for inspections, including replacement of MDCD crack bearing fittings with proper tooling, workforce, and parts availability.</P>
                <P>Second, FedEx Express requested extending the compliance time until Airbus secures all the replacement MDCD bearing fittings. FedEx Express stated the replacement of MDCD bearing fittings in case of findings would require a large number of fittings in stock to support all FedEx Express airplanes and other airlines affected by this proposed AD. FedEx Express stated that Airbus does not have enough spares of these fittings to support FedEx Express and other operators.</P>
                <P>
                    Finally, FedEx Express requested extending the compliance time until Airbus ensures associated replacement parts are in stock. FedEx Express stated it has concerns about associated parts availability upon replacing these MDCD bearing fittings when a crack is found. FedEx Express stated that Airbus has low stock of most of the door actuating mechanism parts attached to these bearing fittings, which might also require replacement,

                    , bearings, support housings, bolts etc. FedEx Express stated these parts are not secured in stock and are difficult to procure currently from Airbus. FedEx Express provided an example of a bearing that has a lead time of 194 days. FedEx Express recommended extending the compliance time to a heavy check threshold.
                </P>
                <P>The FAA does not agree with the commenter's request to extend the compliance time. Regarding the statement that there is not an unsafe condition, the FAA notes that the commenter's reasoning that “the crack on these fittings will not cause the door to fall because the MDCD door is supported with piano hinges hinged to the fuselage and by a door actuating mechanism that locks in the center” is not correct because when the connection of the 2 bearing housings to the bearing fittings is lost then the door moves down. The piano hinge does not prevent the MDCD from moving down because it has only the function to attach the door to the fuselage and allows a rotational motion. The actuation mechanism is equipped with a catching hook, which is located directly on the actuator. The function of the catching hook is only to prevent the MDCD closing if no hydraulic pressure is present. If both bearing housings detach from the bearing fittings there is nothing to prevent the door from moving down and this could lead to an undamped freefall of the MDCD in a worst case. Thus, as specified in this proposed AD, an unsafe condition exists and must be addressed within the compliance times specified in this proposed AD.</P>
                <P>Regarding the availability of replacement bearing fittings, the FAA has confirmed with Airbus that there is sufficient stock of bearing fittings. Regarding the availability of associated replacement parts, the FAA confirmed with Airbus that it is actively securing stock for those parts. To the extent associated replacement parts may not exist to replace parts that fail the inspection requirements of this AD, the FAA cannot base its AD action on whether associated replacement parts are available or can be produced. While every effort is made to avoid grounding aircraft, the FAA must address the unsafe condition.</P>
                <P>
                    After considering the commenter's reasons, the FAA has determined that the compliance time, as proposed, represents an appropriate interval of time in which the required actions can be performed in a timely manner within the affected fleet, while still maintaining an adequate level of safety. However, under the provisions of paragraph (j)(1) of this proposed AD, the FAA will consider requests for approval of an extension of the compliance time if 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19163"/>
                    sufficient data is submitted to substantiate that the new compliance time would provide an acceptable level of safety. The FAA has not changed this AD in this regard.

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request for Extending the Compliance Time Due to Operational Costs</HD>
                <P>
                    FedEx Express requested extending the compliance time because of the operational burden it will bring on operators once a crack is found. FedEx Express stated the 500 work-hours stated in Airbus AOT A52W016-24, Revision 01, dated July 1, 2024, is only an Airbus estimate based on the assumption that only MDCD fittings are replaced and does not include any damaged parts attached to these fittings. FedEx Express stated that the vendor maintenance reported that the work-hours exceed more than 1,000 work-hours depending on the damaged parts affected (
                    <E T="03">e.g.,</E>
                     bearings, housings, frames etc.). FedEx Express asked the FAA to evaluate the works-hours.
                </P>
                <P>
                    The FAA notes that the 500 work-hours is an estimate for the bearing fitting replacement, which is required by the proposed AD if cracking is found. The cost information specified in the proposed AD describes only the direct costs of the specific actions required by this AD, 
                    <E T="03">i.e.,</E>
                     inspecting and replacing bearing fittings if necessary. Based on the best data available, the manufacturer provided the number of work-hours necessary to do the required actions. The FAA recognizes that, in doing the actions required by an AD, operators might incur incidental costs in addition to the direct costs, such as replacing parts associated with the bearing fitting. The cost analysis in AD rulemaking actions, however, typically does not include incidental costs. Those incidental costs might vary significantly among operators. The FAA notes that Airbus is unable to provide or consider estimates on associated parts that are not required to be removed that might be damaged during replacement activities. In developing an appropriate compliance time for this action, the FAA considered the recommendations of the state of design authority, the urgency associated with the subject unsafe condition, the availability of required parts, and the practical aspect of accomplishing the required inspections within a period of time that corresponds to the normal scheduled maintenance for most affected operators.

                <P>
                    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2024-0092R1 by reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with EASA AD 2024-0092R1 in its entirety through that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular section in EASA AD 2024-0092R1 does not mean that operators need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD requirement refers to “all required actions and compliance times,” compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section titled “Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)” in EASA AD 2024-0092R1. Material required by EASA AD 2024-0092R1 for compliance will be available at

                    <P>
                        The Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board received 857 pages of records from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) related to two civil rights cold case incidents to which the Review Board assigned the unique identifiers 2024-003-041 and 2024-003-042. NARA did not propose any postponements of disclosure. The Department of Justice and the FBI proposed 1,422 postponements of disclosure and later withdrew 97 of those postponements. On April 23, 2025, the Review Board approved 489 postponements and portions of 28 additional postponements, and determined that 648 pages in full and 209 pages in part should be publicly disclosed in the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection. By issuing this notice, the Review Board complies with section 7(c)(4) of the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection Act of 2018 that requires the Review Board to publish in the 
                        <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                         its determinations on the disclosure or postponement of records in the Collection no more than 14 days after the date of its decision.

                <P>
                    For the companies for which this review is rescinded with these preliminary results, we will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i).

                <P>Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties in this preliminary determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).</P>
                <P>Consistent with 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce will analyze and, if appropriate, correct any timely allegations of significant ministerial errors by amending the preliminary determination. However, consistent with 19 CFR 351.224(d), Commerce will not consider incomplete allegations that do not address the significance standard under 19 CFR 351.224(g) following the preliminary determination. Instead, Commerce will address such allegations in the final determination together with issues raised in the case briefs or other written comments.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Suspension of Liquidation</HD>
                <P>
                    In accordance with section 733(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                    . Further, pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin or the estimated all-others rate, as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the respondents listed above will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping margins determined in this preliminary determination; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent identified above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated weighted-average dumping margin.
                </P>
                <P>Commerce normally adjusts cash deposits for estimated antidumping duties by the amount of export subsidies countervailed in a companion countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding, when CVD provisional measures are in effect. Accordingly, where Commerce preliminarily made an affirmative determination for countervailable export subsidies, Commerce has offset the estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the appropriate CVD rate. Any such adjusted cash deposit rate may be found in the “Preliminary Determination” section above.</P>
                <P>Should provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation expire prior to the expiration of provisional measures in this LTFV investigation, Commerce will direct CBP to begin collecting estimated antidumping duty cash deposits unadjusted for countervailed export subsidies at the time that the provisional CVD measures expire.</P>
                <P>These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice.</P>

                <P>
                    Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides that a final determination may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by exporters who 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19180"/>
                    account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce's regulations requires that a request by exporters for postponement of the final determination be accompanied by a request for extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not more than six months in duration.

                <P>
                    On April 25, 2025, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), Kanoria requested that Commerce postpone the final determination and that provisional measures be extended to a period not to exceed six months.

                     In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the preliminary determination is affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final determination and extending the provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not greater than six months. Accordingly, Commerce will make its final determination no later than 135 days after the date of publication of this preliminary determination.

                    Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying the preliminary determination,

                    Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that in the preliminary determination Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and 
                    <E T="03">de minimis</E>

                    Commerce preliminarily calculated an individual estimated weighted-average dumping margin for the Methanol Chemicals Company (Chemanol), the only individually examined exporter/producer in this investigation. Because the only individually calculated dumping margin is not zero,

                     or based entirely on facts otherwise available, the estimated weighted-average dumping margin calculated for Chemanol is the margin assigned to all other producers and exporters, pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.

Further, pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin or the estimated all-others rate, as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the respondent listed above will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping margin determined in this preliminary determination; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent identified above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated weighted-average dumping margin. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice.

                    Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations performed in connection with a preliminary determination within five days of its public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of preliminary determination in the

                    , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce preliminarily applied total AFA to the China-wide entity in this investigation, in accordance with section 776 of the Act, and the applied AFA rate is based solely on the petition, there are no calculations to disclose.
                </P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Suspension of Liquidation</HD>
                <P>
                    In accordance with section 733(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of subject merchandise as described in the scope of the investigation section entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                    , as discussed below. Further, pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the weighted average amount by which normal value exceeds U.S. price, as indicated in the chart above.
                </P>
                <P>To determine the cash deposit rate, Commerce normally adjusts the estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the amount of domestic subsidy pass-through and export subsidies determined in a companion countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding when CVD provisional measures are in effect. Accordingly, where Commerce has made a preliminary affirmative determination for domestic subsidy pass-through or export subsidies, Commerce has offset the calculated estimated weighted-average dunping margin by the appropriate rates(s). As discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memoranudm, we have made no adjustment for domestic subsidy pass-through. As further explained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, as an extension of our AFA finding for the China-wide entity, the appropriate export subsidy adjustment is the lowest amount of export subsidies found for any respondent in the companion CVD investigation, which is 10.54 percent attributable to the Export Buyer's Credit program.</P>
                <P>
                    Should provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation expire prior to the expiration of provisional measures in this LTFV investigation, 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19184"/>
                    Commerce will direct CBP to begin collecting cash deposits at a rate equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin calculated in this preliminary determination unadjusted for the passed-through domestic subsidies or for export subsidies at the time the CVD provisional measures expire.
                </P>
                <P>These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice.</P>

                <P>Because the mandatory respondents in this investigation did not provide information requested by Commerce and Commerce preliminarily determines each of the mandatory respondents to have been uncooperative, verification will not be conducted.</P>

                     As noted above, there were no entries of subject merchandise during the POR from any of the seven companies remaining under review. Accordingly, in the absence of reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, and because the sole remaining respondent timely withdrew its request for review, we are rescinding this administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) and (3).

                <P>Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides that a final determination may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by exporters who account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce's regulations requires that a request by exporters for postponement of the final determination be accompanied by a request for extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not more than six months in duration.</P>
                <P>
                    On April 22, 2025, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), Prefere requested that Commerce postpone the final determination and that provisional measures be extended to a period not to exceed six months.

                     In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the preliminary determination is affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter accounts for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final determination and extending the provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not greater than six months. Accordingly, Commerce will make its final determination no later than 135 days after the date of publication of this preliminary determination.

Form EIA-851A “Domestic Uranium Production Report (Annual”)” collects annual data from the U.S. uranium industry on uranium milling and processing, uranium feed sources, uranium mining, employment, drilling, expenditures, and uranium reserves. Form EIA-851Q “Domestic Uranium Production Report (Quarterly)” collects monthly data on uranium production that is reported on a quarterly basis. Form EIA-858 “Uranium Marketing Annual Survey” collects annual data from the U.S. uranium market on uranium contracts and deliveries, inventories, enrichment services purchased, uranium in fuel assemblies, feed deliveries to enrichers, and unfilled market requirements for the current year and the following ten years.</P>

                     Magnum asserts that the current deadline is unreasonable due to the extensive changes proposed in this amendment. Therefore, Magnum requests that the Commission suspend the applicability of the current required in-service date and grant Magnum four and one-half years to construct and place facilities in-service from the date of the order authorizing the proposed amendment, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open for public inspection.

                     within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: complete its environmental review and place it into the Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or environmental assessment (EA) for this proposal. The filing of an EA in the Commission's public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.

                <P>On March 31, 2022, Green Lake Water Power Company (Green Lake Power) filed an application for a subsequent license to continue to operate and maintain the 425-kilowatt Green Lake Hydroelectric Project No. 7189 (Green Lake Project). On May 31, 2023, Commission staff issued a notice of intent to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) to evaluate the effects of relicensing the Green Lake Project. The notice included an anticipated schedule for issuing the EA. By notices issued April 11, 2024, June 4, 2024, September 30, 2024, January 30, 2025, and March 27, 2025, staff revised the procedural schedule for completing the EA.</P>
                <P>Staff is still evaluating the effects of relicensing the Green Lake Project; therefore, the procedural schedule for completing the EA is being revised as follows. Further revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.</P>

                <P>As part of the NEPA review process, the Commission takes into account concerns the public may have about proposals and the environmental impacts that could result whenever it considers the issuance of a license. This gathering of public input is referred to as “scoping.” On September 30, 2016, Commission staff issued Scoping Document 1, initiating the scoping process for the project. Commission staff conducted an environmental site visit open to the public on October 25, 2016, and held two public scoping meetings. Two scoping meetings were held in Valencia, California on October 26, 2016. A court reporter recorded oral comments made during the scoping meetings. On January 13, 2017, Commission staff issued a revised scoping document (Scoping Document 2) based on the comments received during the scoping comment period, which ended November 29, 2016. Scoping Document 2 describes the project, project alternatives, and the current view of anticipated environmental effects that will be addressed in the EIS.</P>
                <P>In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on December 2, 2020, Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for environmental analysis and soliciting comments, recommendations, terms and conditions, and prescriptions (REA Notice). The comment period for the REA Notice closed on January 31, 2021. Based on the information in the record, including comments filed during scoping and in response to the REA Notice, staff has determined that licensing the project may constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Therefore, Commission staff will prepare a draft and final EIS for the proposed South SWP Project, which will address the concerns raised during prior comment periods and comments received in response to this notice.</P>
                <P>By this notice, the Commission requests any additional comments on the scope of issues to address in the EIS, including comments on potential alternatives and impacts, and any relevant information, studies, or analyses of any kind concerning impacts affecting the quality of the human environment. If you previously submitted comments and recommendations to the Commission, you do not need to file those comments and recommendations again. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 30, 2025.</P>

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Applicants' Proposal</HD>
                <P>The co-applicants propose to continue operating the project in the same manner as it is currently operated. The co-applicants also propose to make the following existing facilities part of the license for the South SWP Project: (1) the Quail detention embankment, located adjacent to the Peace Valley pipeline intake embankment along the northwest portion of the Lower Quail canal, which serves as a flood-management structure to attenuate waters from Quail Lake or the Lower Quail canal and to protect Interstate 5; (2) 99 project road segments totaling 55.4 miles; and (3) the streamflow gage located on Piru Creek below Pyramid Lake near Gorman, CA. Additionally, the co-applicants propose to remove the Warne transmission line from the license because it is owned and operated by SCE as part of SCE's Pardee-Pastoria-Warne 220-kV transmission line and because the transmission line is part of the interconnected electric grid the co-applicants believe it is not within the Commission's licensing jurisdiction. The co-applicants state the transmission line would continue to function as it has historically.</P>
                <P>The purpose of the project is to continue to provide a source of hydroelectric power and flood control and serve as a water supply for domestic and irrigation purposes. Therefore, under the provisions of the Federal Power Act (FPA), the Commission must decide whether to issue a license to DWR and LADWP for the project and what conditions should be placed on any license issued.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">The NEPA Process and the EIS</HD>
                <P>The draft and final EIS issued by the Commission will discuss impacts that could occur because of the proposed project under the following relevant general resource areas:</P>

                <P>This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through December 31, 2025. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.</P>
                <P>
                    This document allows 60 days for public comments. Supporting documents, which explain in detail the information that the EPA will be collecting, are available in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at

                    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments and information to enable it to: (i) evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate forms of information technology. EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that time, EPA will issue another

                     The collection of information is necessary in order to ensure that the hazardous waste airbag modules and airbag inflators exempted under this rule are safely disposed of and that defective airbag modules and airbag inflators are not reinserted into vehicles where they would pose an unreasonable risk of death or serious injury. Information collection activities include maintaining at the airbag handler for no less than three years records of (1) all off-site shipments and (2) confirmations of receipt of airbag waste.

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">A. Purpose</HD>
                <P>The General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) clause 552.238-82, Modifications (Federal Supply Schedule), which was previously titled and numbered as 552.238-81 Modifications (see 84 FR 17030 dated April 23, 2019), requires Contractors who have a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) (also known as Federal Supply Schedule (FSS)) contract to request a contract modification by submitting information to the contracting officer. At a minimum, each contract modification request covered by this clause is to include an explanation for the request and supporting information. The clause has an Alternate I and Alternate II as well.</P>
                <P>The basic clause applies to MAS contracts that are not subject to transactional data reporting and covers the following types of requests for contract modification: additional items/additional SINs, deletions, and price reductions. Alternate I is pretty much the same as the basic clause with exception to paragraph (e) being revised to reflect a MAS contractor accepting eMod. Alternate II applies to MAS contracts subject to transactional data reporting and covers the following requests for contract modification: additional items/additional SINs and deletions.</P>

                     OHS is requesting an extension, without changes, of the Head Start PIR information collection authority. The following instruments are included in this information collection: (1) PIR, (2) Monthly Enrollment, and (3) Center Locations and Contacts. The PIR is used for federal program management purposes including to promote decision-making using data, is a major source of information used to respond to congressional and public inquiries about Head Start programs and is used often by researchers. Monthly enrollment reporting supports oversight activities related to promoting full enrollment of programs. Center locations and contact reporting is used to help parents locate a program in their community. In general, these information collections together create key administrative datasets to support administration of the program. There are no updates to the current OMB-approved PIR.

                     A title IV-E plan is required by section 471, part IV-E of the Social Security Act (the Act) for each public child welfare agency requesting federal funding under the Act for foster care and adoption assistance, as well as for the optional guardianship assistance, kinship navigator and prevention services programs. Section 479B of the Act provides for an Indian tribe, tribal organization or tribal consortium (tribe) to operate a title IV-E program in the same manner as a state with minimal exceptions. The tribe must have an approved title IV-E Plan.
                </P>
                <P>The title IV-E plan provides assurances the programs will be administered in conformity with the specific requirements stipulated in title IV-E. The plan must include all applicable state or tribal statutory, regulatory, or policy references and citations for each requirement as well as supporting documentation. A title IV-E agency may use the pre-print format prepared by the Children's Bureau or a different format, on the condition that the format used includes all the title IV-E plan requirements of the law.</P>
                <P>Section A of the title IV-E plan pre-print addresses requirements for the Foster Care, Adoption Assistance and optional Guardianship Assistance and Kinship Navigator programs. For these programs, the plan submission remains in effect until amendments are required due either to changes in federal requirements or agency operations.</P>
                <P>Section B of the title IV-E plan pre-print addresses requirements for the Prevention Services program. This program requires a plan submission every five years, and amendments as needed.</P>
                <P>Both sections of the title IV-E preprint include minor revisions to reflect recent changes in statutory, regulatory and policy requirements or options and to remove outdated information. All revisions in policy and requirements have been communicated to title IV-E agencies through prior policy issuances.</P>

                     The Current Population Survey—Child Support Supplement collects detailed information about child support agreements and awards, including both required payments and amounts received, as well as data about the socioeconomic characteristics of custodial parents and their families. Analysis of the information provides a nationwide assessment of the need for and effectiveness of the child support program, which helps OCSE align the child support program to meet the needs of the families it serves. The survey analysis will also help legislators make child support policy decisions. OCSE revised the survey to delete questions and update language.

                <HD SOURCE="HD2">Annual Burden Estimates</HD>
                <P>In 2023, the U.S. Census Bureau began to collect information about the family relationships among all the individuals in the household by identifying the biological, adopted, step, or foster parents for each child in the household. Households with children under 21 not living with both biological or adopted parents are asked questions in the Child Support Supplement. This change reduced the overall number of respondents significantly from 34,500 to 3,600 but increased the time per response from about 2 minutes to about 20 minutes. The U.S. Census Bureau performed a calculation of the time it took to conduct the 2023 interviews, using audit trails from the completed cases. The 2026 increase in the burden hours reflects this information.</P>

                    Section 30.18 of the Department of Health and Human Services' claims collection regulations (45 CFR part 30) provides that the Secretary shall charge an annual rate of interest, which is determined and fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury after considering private consumer rates of interest on the date that the Department of Health and Human Services becomes entitled to recovery. The rate cannot be lower than the Department of Treasury's current value of funds rate or the applicable rate determined from the “Schedule of Certified Interest Rates with Range of Maturities” unless the Secretary waives interest in whole or part, or a different rate is prescribed by statute, contract, or repayment agreement. The Secretary of the Treasury may revise this rate quarterly. The Department of Health and Human Services publishes this rate in the

                    <FR>3/8</FR>
                     %, as fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury, is certified for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, and 11

                     %, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. This rate is based on the Interest Rates for Specific Legislation, “National Health Services Corps Scholarship Program (42 U.S.C. 254o(b)(1)(A))” and “National Research Service Award Program (42 U.S.C. 288(c)(4)(B)).” This interest rate will be applied to overdue debt until the Department of Health and Human Services publishes a revision.

Under the TPS statute, if the Secretary does not determine whether a foreign state continues to meet the conditions for designation for TPS at least 60 days before the current expiration of the country's TPS designation, the period of designation is automatically extended for six months. The Secretary was unable to make an informed determination on South Sudan's designation by the March 4, 2025 statutory deadline due to the lack of an updated analysis of current country conditions in South Sudan. Accordingly, the TPS designation of South Sudan is automatically extended for six months, from May 4, 2025, through November 3, 2025.</P>

                     Registration is not required for the automatic six-month extension of the designation of South Sudan for TPS. The automatic extension begins on May 4, 2025, and will end on November 3, 2025. The extension allows existing TPS beneficiaries to retain TPS through November 3, 2025, if they otherwise continue to meet the eligibility requirements for TPS.

                     This extension automatically extends the validity of Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) previously issued under the TPS designation of South Sudan for six months, from May 4, 2025, through November 3, 2025. Existing TPS beneficiaries who wish to apply for an EAD for the first time, or who already have an EAD and would like to obtain an updated EAD with an expiration date on the face of the card of November 3, 2025, may submit Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization and the appropriate fee. TPS remains available to otherwise qualified nationals of South Sudan (or in the case of an alien with no nationality, an alien who last habitually resided in South Sudan) who have been continuously residing in the United States since September 4, 2023.

                <P>The automatic extension allows TPS beneficiaries from South Sudan to maintain TPS through November 3, 2025, so long as they continue to meet the eligibility requirements for TPS. Current TPS beneficiaries are reminded that, no later than sixty days prior to November 3, 2025, the Secretary intends to review the conditions in South Sudan and decide whether extension or termination is warranted in accordance with the TPS statute. During this period, beneficiaries are encouraged to prepare for their return to South Sudan, including requesting updated travel documents from the government of South Sudan, in the event South Sudan's designation is not extended again and if they have no other lawful basis for remaining in the United States.</P>
                <P>
                    Through this 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     notice, DHS automatically extends the validity of EADs previously issued under the TPS designation of South Sudan for six months, from May 4, 2025, through November 3, 2025. As proof of continued employment authorization through November 3, 2025, TPS beneficiaries can show their EAD with a Category of A12 or C19 and a “Card Expires” date of May 3, 2025, or November 3, 2023. This notice explains how TPS beneficiaries and their employers may determine if an EAD is automatically extended and how this affects the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, E-Verify, and USCIS Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) processes.

If USCIS approves an alien's pending Form I-821, USCIS will grant the alien TPS through November 3, 2025. Similarly, if USCIS approves a pending South Sudan TPS-related Form I-765, USCIS will issue the alien a new EAD that will be valid through the same date, November 3, 2025.

                <HD SOURCE="HD2">What is Temporary Protected Status (TPS)?</HD>
                <P>• TPS is a temporary immigration status granted to eligible nationals of a foreign state designated for TPS under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), or to eligible aliens without nationality who last habitually resided in the designated foreign state, regardless of their country of birth.</P>
                <P>• During the TPS designation period, TPS beneficiaries are eligible to remain in the United States, generally may not be removed, are authorized to work, and may obtain EADs if they continue to meet the requirements of TPS.</P>
                <P>• TPS beneficiaries may also apply for and be granted travel authorization as a matter of DHS discretion.</P>
                <P>• To qualify for TPS, beneficiaries must meet the eligibility standards at INA section 244(c)(1)-(2), 8 U.S.C. 1254a(c)(1)-(2).</P>
                <P>• When the Secretary terminates a foreign state's TPS designation, beneficiaries return to one of the following:</P>
                <P>○ The same immigration status or category that they maintained before TPS, if any (unless that status or category has since expired or terminated); or</P>
                <P>○ Any other lawfully obtained immigration status or category they received while registered for TPS, as long as it is still valid beyond the date TPS terminates.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD2">When was South Sudan designated for TPS?</HD>
                <P>
                    South Sudan was initially designated for TPS on October 13, 2011, on the dual bases of ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions that prevented nationals of South Sudan from safely returning.

                    <FTREF/>
                     Following the initial designation, DHS extended and newly designated South Sudan for TPS in 2013, 2014, and 2016.

                    The designation of South Sudan for TPS is set to expire on May 3, 2025. At least 60 days before the expiration of a country's TPS designation or extension, the Secretary, after consultation with appropriate Government agencies, must review the conditions in a foreign state designated for TPS to determine whether the conditions for the TPS designation continue to be met.

                    In this instance, the record of country conditions and consultation from Department of State for South Sudan was not able to be updated prior to the statutory deadline of March 4, 2025. The Secretary only had a non-current record from Department of State that was signed November 6, 2024, approximately four months prior to when the Secretary needed to make a decision, and the record did not contain a meaningful national interest discussion. Therefore, the Secretary was not presented with a current country conditions analysis that would allow her to make an informed determination on South Sudan's designation by March 4, 2025. Accordingly, the TPS designation of South Sudan is automatically extended for six months from May 4, 2025, ending on November 3, 2025.

                     which states that “designations of Temporary Protected Status are consistent with the provisions of section 244 of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1254a), and that such designations are appropriately limited in scope and made for only so long as may be necessary to fulfill the textual requirements of that statue.”

                     Beneficiaries of TPS for South Sudan under this designation will continue to retain TPS from May 4, 2025, to November 3, 2025, through a six-month automatic extension. TPS remains available to otherwise qualified nationals of South Sudan (or in the case of an alien with no nationality, an alien who last habitually resided therein) who have been continuously residing in the United States since September 4, 2023. Assuming they continue to meet the eligibility requirements for TPS, current beneficiaries do not need to take additional action in order for their TPS to be extended.

                    Filing a new application for an EAD based on the six-month automatic extension of TPS for South Sudan is unnecessary. As mentioned throughout, this 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     automatically extends your EAD through November 3, 2025, without any further action on your part. Indeed, USCIS acknowledges that given the six-month automatic extension of TPS designation for South Sudan, there may not be sufficient time for the agency to receive, review, adjudicate and issue new EADs on the basis of the automatic extension of TPS for South Sudan. However, USCIS offers the option to applicants for TPS under South Sudan's designation to file requests for EADs online, by mail, or under certain circumstances, by uploading a completed Form I-765 with a fee or fee waiver request in Portable Document Format (PDF) through your USCIS online account. More information about filing your Form I-765 and fee waiver request through a PDF upload is available at

                <HD SOURCE="HD2">How do my employer and I complete Form I-9 using my automatically extended EAD for a new job?</HD>
                <P>When using an automatically extended EAD to complete Form I-9 for a new job before November 4, 2025:</P>
                <P>1. For Section 1, you should:</P>
                <P>a. Check “An alien authorized to work until” and enter November 3, 2025, as the “expiration date”; and</P>
                <P>b. Enter your USCIS number or A-Number where indicated. (Your EAD or other document from DHS will have your USCIS number or A-Number printed on it; the USCIS number is the same as your A-Number without the A prefix.)</P>
                <P>2. For Section 2, employers should:</P>
                <P>a. Determine whether the EAD is auto-extended by ensuring it is in category A12 or C19 and has a “Card Expires” date of May 3, 2025, or November 3, 2023;</P>
                <P>b. Write in the document title;</P>
                <P>c. Enter the issuing authority;</P>
                <P>d. Provide the document number; and</P>
                <P>e. Write November 3, 2025, as the expiration date.</P>
                <P>Before the start of work on November 4, 2025, employers must reverify the employee's employment authorization on Form I-9.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD2">What updates should my current employer make to Form I-9 if my EAD has been automatically extended?</HD>
                <P>If you presented a TPS-related EAD that was valid when you first started your job and USCIS has now automatically extended your EAD, your employer may need to re-examine your current EAD if they do not have a copy of the EAD on file. Your employer should determine whether your EAD is automatically extended by ensuring that it contains Category A12 or C19.</P>
                <P>Your employer should examine your EAD to see if it has a “Card Expires” date of May 3, 2025, or November 3, 2023. Your employer may not rely on the country of birth listed on the card to determine whether you are eligible for this extension.</P>
                <P>If your employer determines that USCIS has automatically extended your EAD, they should update Section 2 of your previously completed Form I-9 as follows:</P>
                <P>1. Write EAD EXT and November 3, 2025, as the last day of the automatic extension in the Additional Information field; and</P>
                <P>2. Initial and date the correction.</P>
                <NOTE>
                    <HD SOURCE="HED">Note:</HD>
                    <P> This is not considered a reverification. Employers do not reverify the employee until either the automatic extension has ended, or the employee presents a new document to show continued employment authorization, whichever is sooner. By November 4, 2025, when the employee's automatically extended EAD has expired, employers are required by law to reverify the employee's employment authorization on Form I-9.</P>

                <HD SOURCE="HD2">If I am an employer enrolled in E-Verify, how do I verify a new employee whose EAD has been automatically extended?</HD>
                <P>Employers may create a case in E-Verify for a new employee by entering the EAD document number and expiration date from Section 2 of Form I-9 into the corresponding fields in E-Verify.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD2">If I am an employer enrolled in E-Verify, what do I do when I receive a “Work Authorization Documents Expiring” alert for an automatically extended EAD?</HD>
                <P>If you have an employee who provided a TPS-related EAD when they first started working for you, you will receive a “Work Authorization Documents Expiring” case alert when the auto-extension period for this EAD is about to expire. You must reverify your employee's employment authorization on Form I-9 by the date their automatic EAD extension ends. Employers may not use E-Verify for reverification.</P>

                    Employers are reminded that the laws requiring proper employment eligibility verification and prohibiting unfair immigration-related employment practices remain in full force. This

                     notice does not supersede or in any way limit applicable employment verification rules and policy guidance, including those rules setting forth reverification requirements. For general questions about the employment eligibility verification process, employers may call USCIS at 888-464-4218 (TTY 877-875-6028) or email USCIS at

                     For questions about avoiding discrimination during the employment eligibility verification process (Form I-9 and E-Verify), employers may call the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) Employer Hotline at 800-255-8155 (TTY 800-237-2515). Employers may also email IER at

                    For general questions about the employment eligibility verification process, employees may call USCIS at 888-897-7781 (TTY 877-875-6028) or email USCIS at

                     Employees or job applicants may also call the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) Worker Hotline at 800-255-7688 (TTY 800-237-2515) for information regarding employment discrimination based on citizenship, immigration status, or national origin, including discrimination related to Form I-9 and E-Verify.
                </P>
                <P>To comply with the law, employers must accept any document or combination of documents from the Lists of Acceptable Documents if the documentation reasonably appears to be genuine and to relate to the employee, or an acceptable List A, List B, or List C receipt as described in these lists. Employers may not require extra or additional documentation other than what is required to complete Form I-9. Further, employers participating in E-Verify who receive an E-Verify case result of “Tentative Non-confirmation” (mismatch) must promptly inform employees of the mismatch and give these employees an opportunity to resolve the mismatch. A mismatch means that the information entered into E-Verify from Form I-9 differs from records available to DHS.</P>
                <P>
                    Employers may not terminate, suspend, delay training, withhold or lower pay, or take any adverse action against an employee because of a mismatch while the case is still pending with E-Verify. A Final Non-confirmation (FNC) case result occurs if E-Verify cannot confirm an employee's employment eligibility. An employer may terminate employment based on a case result of FNC. Work-authorized employees who receive an FNC may call USCIS for assistance at 888-897-7781 (TTY 877-875-6028). For more information about E-Verify-related discrimination or to report an employer for discrimination in the E-Verify process based on citizenship, immigration status, or national origin, contact IER's Worker Hotline at 800-255-7688 (TTY 800-237-2515).

                <P>
                    For Federal purposes, if you present an EAD that has been automatically extended by this this 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     notice, you do not need to show any

                    other document, such as a Form I-797C, Notice of Action, reflecting receipt of a Form I-765 EAD renewal application or this 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     notice, to prove that you qualify for this extension. While Federal Government agencies must follow the guidelines laid out by the Federal Government, State and local government agencies establish their own rules and guidelines when granting certain benefits. Each state may have different laws, requirements, and determinations about what documents you need to provide to prove eligibility for certain benefits. Whether you are applying for a Federal, State, or local government benefit, you may need to provide the government agency with documents that show you are a TPS beneficiary or applicant, show you are authorized to work based on TPS or other status, or that may be used by DHS to determine if you have TPS or another immigration status. Examples of such documents are:
                </P>
                <P>• Your current EAD with a TPS category code of A12 or C19, even if your country of birth noted on the EAD does not reflect the TPS-designated country of South Sudan;</P>
                <P>• Your Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record;</P>
                <P>• Your Form I-797, Notice of Action, reflecting approval of your Form I-765; or</P>
                <P>• Form I-797 or Form I-797C, Notice of Action, reflecting approval or receipt of a past or current Form I-821, if you received one from USCIS.</P>
                <P>Check with the government agency requesting documentation about which document(s) the agency will accept.</P>
                <P>
                    Some state and local government agencies use SAVE, 
                    <E T="03">https://www.uscis.gov/save,</E>
                     to confirm the current immigration status of applicants for public benefits. While SAVE can verify that an alien has TPS or a pending TPS application, each agency's procedures govern whether they will accept an unexpired EAD, Form I-797, Form I-797C, or Form I-94. If an agency accepts the type of TPS-related document you present, such as an EAD, the agency should accept your automatically extended EAD, regardless of the country of birth listed on the EAD. It may assist the agency if you:
                </P>
                <P>
                    a. Give the agency a copy of the relevant 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     notice showing the extension of TPS-related documentation in addition to your recent TPS-related document with your A-Number, USCIS number, or Form I-94 number;
                </P>
                <P>b. Explain that SAVE will be able to verify the continuation of your TPS using this information; and</P>
                <P>c. Ask the agency to initiate a SAVE query with your information and follow through with additional verification steps, if necessary, to get a final SAVE response verifying your TPS.</P>
                <P>You can also ask the agency to look for SAVE notices or contact SAVE if they have any questions about your immigration status or automatic extension of TPS-related documentation. In most cases, SAVE provides an automated electronic response to benefit-granting agencies within seconds, but occasionally verification can be delayed.</P>
                <P>
                    You can check the status of your SAVE verification by using Case-Check at 
                    <E T="03">https://www.uscis.gov/save/save-casecheck.</E>
                     Case-Check is a free service that lets you follow the progress of your SAVE verification case using your date of birth and one immigration identifier number (such as your A-Number, USCIS number, or Form I-94 number) or Verification Case Number. If an agency has denied your application based solely or in part on a SAVE response, the agency must allow you to appeal the decision in accordance with the agency's procedures. If the agency has received and acted on or will act on a SAVE verification and you do not believe the SAVE response is correct, the SAVE website,

                     HUD requests its applicants to supply environmental information that is not otherwise available to HUD staff for the environmental review on an applicant's proposal for HUD financial assistance to develop or improve housing or community facilities. HUD itself must perform an environmental review for the purpose of compliance with its environmental regulations found at 24 CFR part 50, Protection and Enhancement of Environmental Quality. Part 50 implements the National Environmental Policy Act and 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19223"/>
                    implementing procedures of the Council on Environmental Quality, as well as the related federal environmental laws and executive orders. HUD's agency-wide provisions—24 CFR 50.3(h)(1) and 50.32—regulate how individual HUD program staffs are to utilize such collected data when HUD itself prepares the environmental review and compliance. Separately, individual HUD programs each have their own regulations and guidance implementing environmental and related collection responsibilities. For the next three years, this approved collection will continue unchanged under this OMB control number to assure adequate coverage for all HUD programs subject to Part 50.

                    <E T="03">Abstract:</E>
                     On March 16, 1934, Congress passed, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed, the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (16 U.S.C. 718a 
                    <E T="03">et seq.</E>
                    ). Popularly known as the Duck Stamp Act, it requires all migratory waterfowl hunters 16 years of age or older to buy a Federal migratory bird hunting and conservation stamp (Federal Duck Stamp) annually. The stamps are a vital tool for wetland conservation. Ninety-eight cents out of every dollar generated by the sale of Federal Duck Stamps is used to purchase or lease wetland habitat for protection in the National Wildlife Refuge System. The Federal Duck Stamp program is one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated and is a highly effective way to conserve America's natural resources. Besides serving as a hunting permit and a conservation tool, a current year's Federal Duck Stamp also serves as an entrance pass for national wildlife refuges where admission is charged. Duck Stamps and products that bear stamp images are also popular collector's items.
                </P>
                <P>The Electronic Duck Stamp Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-266) required the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a 3-year pilot program, under which States could issue electronic Federal Duck Stamps. This pilot program was made permanent with the passage of the Permanent Electronic Duck Stamp Act of 2013 (Pub. L. 113-239) on December 19, 2023. The Duck Stamp Modernization Act of 2023 (Modernization Act; Pub. L. 118-25) removed the temporary nature of the electronic stamp certificate, making the electronic stamp valid from the time of purchase through the next June 30. The electronic stamp can be stored either digitally or printed and carried as a hard copy. The Modernization Act also stipulates that a physical stamp would be mailed to all electronic stamp purchasers after March 10 annually.</P>
                <P>Today anyone, regardless of their State or country of residence, is able to purchase an electronic Duck Stamp through any State that participates in the program. The electronic stamp is issued as a certificate or proof of purchase and is valid from the date of purchase until the end of the Federal Duck Stamp year, which ends on June 30. Thus the electronic stamp is available for immediate use by the purchaser. Because it can be stored either digitally or by printing out and carrying a hard copy, customers are less likely to lose their proof of purchase. Customers no longer have to receive the actual physical stamp in the mail if they purchase an electronic stamp to comply with the law.</P>
                <P>Eight States participated in the pilot program beginning in 2007. At the end of the pilot, we provided a report to Congress outlining the successes of the program. The program improved public participation by increasing the ability of the public to obtain required Federal Duck Stamps.</P>
                <P>
                    Under our authorities in 16 U.S.C. 718 
                    <E T="03">et seq.,</E>
                     we continued the Electronic Duck Stamp Program in the eight States that participated in the pilot and enrolled other interested States. Currently, the program includes 30 participating States. Several additional States have indicated interest in participating.
                </P>
                <P>With the passage of the Modernization Act and to mitigate several challenges faced by the Service in implementing the program, memorandums of understanding (MOU) signed between the States and the Service must be reviewed, rewritten, and signed to reflect changes in the law and address several issues which reflect on the accountability, transparency, and effectiveness of the electronic Duck Stamp.</P>
                <P>Interested States must apply, using Form 3-2341, based on their ability to meet the responsibilities as outlined in the updated MOU. We will use the information provided in the application to determine a State's eligibility to participate in the program and willingness to comply with the requirements of issuing an electronic stamp. Information includes, but is not limited to:</P>
                <P>• Information verifying the current systems the State uses to sell hunting, fishing, and other associated licenses and products.</P>
                <P>• Applicable State laws, regulations, or policies that authorize the use of electronic systems to issue licenses.</P>
                <P>• Examples and explanations of the codes the State proposes to use to create and endorse the unique identifier for the individual to whom each stamp is issued.</P>
                <P>• Mockup copy of the printed version of the State's proposed electronic stamp, including a description of how attention will be drawn to customer support information and identifying features of the licensee to be specified on the permit.</P>
                <P>• Description of all fees the State will charge for issuance of an electronic stamp and how these will be conveyed to the customer.</P>
                <P>• Description of the process the State will use to account for and transfer the amounts collected by the State that are required to be transferred under the program.</P>
                <P>• Manner in which the State will transmit electronic stamp customer data.</P>
                <P>Each State approved to participate in the program must provide the following information, on a regular basis (not to exceed 7 days post purchase), to the Service-approved stamp distribution company, to enable that company to issue the physical stamp and to collect funds owed to the Service:</P>
                <P>• Full name (first, middle, last, and any prefixes/suffixes), and complete mailing address of each individual who purchases an electronic stamp from the State.</P>
                <P>• Date of e-stamp purchase.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Proposed Revisions</HD>
                <P>Changes to Form 3-2341, “Application and Instructions to Participate in the Electronic Federal Duck Stamp Program,” include:</P>
                <P>• change in effective date from September 1, 20##, to July 1, 20## (field is customizable each year), to coincide with the Duck Stamp validity dates;</P>
                <P>• removal of application deadline as completed applications will be accepted at any point in time;</P>
                <P>• update the background details for the Electronic Federal Duck Stamp Program;</P>
                <P>• update website contact information;</P>
                <P>
                    • request for transparent description of all charges assessed to each customer 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19225"/>
                    for the purchase of an Electronic Federal Duck Stamp and how they will be relayed to the customer;
                </P>
                <P>• removal of language reflecting the past temporary nature of the Electronic Federal Duck Stamp; and</P>
                <P>• request for information allowing the Service to measure any challenges to the distribution and number of interested Electronic Federal Duck Stamp purchasers.</P>

                     The student transportation regulations in 25 CFR part 39, subpart G, contain the program eligibility and criteria that govern the allocation of transportation funds. Information collected from the schools will be used to determine the rate per mile. The information collection provides transportation mileage for BIE-funded schools, which determines the allocation of transportation funds. This information is collected using a web-based system, Web Education Transportation (Web ET).

                <P>Under section 101(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), and title 5, United States Code, Section 553, the Secretary of Labor shall develop, promulgate, and revise as may be appropriate, improved mandatory health or safety standards for the protection of life and prevention of injuries in coal or other mines.</P>

                    Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is a probable carcinogen that consists of tiny particles present in diesel engine exhaust that can readily penetrate into the deepest recesses of the lungs. Despite ventilation, the confined underground mine work environment may contribute to significant concentrations of particles produced by equipment used in the mine. Underground miners are exposed to higher concentrations of DPM than any other occupational group. As a result, they face a significantly greater risk than other workers of developing such diseases as lung cancer, heart failure, serious allergic responses and other cardiopulmonary problems. The DPM rule establishes a permissible exposure limit (PEL) to total carbon, which is a surrogate for measuring a miner's exposure to DPM. The rule includes a number of other requirements for the protection of miners' health. The DPM existing rule contains information collection requirements for underground MNM mine operators under regulations 30 CFR 57.5060, 57.5065, 57.5066, 57.5070, 57.5071, and 57.5075.

                     This proposed data collection is a core component of a larger comprehensive evaluation strategy to assess the effectiveness and functioning of the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program, funded through grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF). LSAMP alliances are institutions of higher education (IHEs) that support the preparation of students at the undergraduate and postbaccalaureate levels in science, technology, engineering and technology (STEM) disciplines.
                </P>
                <P>This current research seeks to consider the experiences of those leading and participating in LSAMP since the last full evaluation (which concluded in 2007), as well as current experiences, at ten select site locations. The ten sites were selected by the NSF in collaboration with its research partner, NORC at the University of Chicago, who will conduct all data collection. A key component of the site selection process was ensuring inclusion of alliance sites with varied features, to include sites with more remote geographies and alliance types.</P>
                <P>This work will enable the program to better understand where successes can be modeled and replicated and opportunities can be identified to better support promising LSAMP students in these fields, by encouraging greater participation in academic and professional development opportunities. Currently, we are seeking approval to conduct interviews and focus groups with individuals who are affiliated with the LSAMP alliances at these pre-identified sites using the procedures discussed below.</P>
                <P>
                    As of FY2021, there were 61 LSAMP alliances, 55 of which were led by four-year institutions. There are three groups of LSAMP alliances: 11 STEM Pathways Implementation Only (SPIO) alliances in existence less than 10 years, 22 STEM Pathways Research Alliances (SPRA) in existence at least 10 or more years, and 22 alliances that had not yet applied for funding under the 2018 solicitation. Ten of the alliances in existence at least 10 years also have Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) projects that provide additional funding to support students' graduate work. An additional 6 alliances are Bridge to the Baccalaureate (B2B) alliances led by two-year institutions. Each alliance consists of a lead institution and several other partner 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19232"/>
                    institutions consisting of two-and-four year IHEs all operating towards the same alliance goals. Partner institutions typically are in the same geographic region. Participating STEM students in alliance schools could be defined in three groups: Level 1 students who receive direct financial support through the alliance for activities, Level 2 students who attended activities sponsored by the alliances but receive no direct funding, and Level 3 students who are students at LSAMP institutions who did not receive funds or participate in LSAMP activities.
                </P>
                <P>
                    Research suggests that collaboratives, such as the alliances funded by the LSAMP program can improve STEM degree completion rates, but long-term success requires sustained change at the institutional level (Center for Urban Education, 2019; May &amp; Bridger, 2010). The LSAMP program has a 30-year history of broadening participation 
                    <SU>1</SU>
                     in STEM disciplines and the STEM workforce.
                </P>
                <P>NORC at the University of Chicago's is leading the present approach for evaluating the effectiveness and impact, of the LSAMP program, under the guidance and sponsorship of the NSF Directorate for STEM Education (EDU). This evaluation aims to identify and characterize the organizational structure and institutionalization of LSAMP alliances and assess the impact of LSAMP activities and strategies to strengthen pathways and increase STEM degrees earned by promising LSAMP students in STEM on all educational levels.</P>
                <P>
                    As part of this comprehensive evaluation, and with a focus on fully utilizing all preexisting data, NORC has completed a thorough review of available data (
                    <E T="03">e.g.,</E>
                     annual reports). The LSAMP program anticipates using the results of this evaluation (both the review of existing data and data from site visits) to identify “LSAMP best practices” that can be implemented by both LSAMP grantee/alliance institutions and non-LSAMP grantees/alliance institutions to sustain and grow impacts of the LSAMP programming on broadening participation in STEM and inform the LSAMP program on sustainability mechanisms and goals appropriate for LSAMP alliance institutions to maintain their successful outcomes.

                <P>As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) as amended (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), OPM is soliciting comments for this collection (OMB No. 3206-0156). The Office of Personnel Management is particularly interested in comments that:</P>

                <P>
                    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology,

                <P>Standard Form (SF) 2800 is needed to collect information so that OPM can pay death benefits to the survivors of Federal employees and annuitants in the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). SF 2800A allows OPM to collect the information needed for deaths in service, including information so that survivors can make the needed elections regarding military service. OPM is considering whether the SF 2800 and SF 2800A forms should be common forms since they are used by agencies across government.</P>

For each such request, the Commission appoints an officer of the Commission to represent the interests of the general public in the proceeding, pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 505 and 39 CFR 3000.114 (Public Representative). The Public Representative does not represent any individual person, entity or particular point of view, and, when Commission attorneys are appointed, no attorney-client relationship is established. Section II also establishes comment deadline(s) pertaining to each such request.</P>
                <P>The Commission invites comments on whether the Postal Service's request(s) identified in Section II, if any, are consistent with the policies of title 39.

                <P>NYSE Bonds is an electronic order-driven matching system for fixed income securities to which Exchange members and member organizations subscribe and through which they enter and match customer bond orders on a strict price and time priority basis. NYSE Bonds provides member subscribers with access to the order book in each bond which displays orders and in the time sequence received. Upon execution, trades are submitted for clearing to the Depository Trust Clearing Corporation. NYSE Bonds centralizes bond trading and publishes a real-time bond data feed to NYSE Bonds customers and subscribers that reflects all orders in time sequence on the NYSE Bonds order book. NYSE Bonds primarily serves the “small-lot” corporate bond market. Small-lot bond buyers and sellers are primarily individuals, bank trust accounts, and small institutions. In addition, bond dealers use NYSE Bonds to offset so-called “tail-end” bond positions acquired in the course of large-lot trading. NYSE Bonds is the only system that provides the public with real-time disclosure of quotations and trade prices, exclusive of mark-ups/mark-downs, commissions, or other charges.</P>
                <P>
                    NYSE Rules 1400 and 1401 set forth requirements for trading Debt Securities. Rule 1400 defines the term “Debt Securities” as any unlisted note, bond, debenture or evidence of indebtedness that is: (1) statutorily exempt from the registration requirements of Section 12(b) 
                    <SU>4</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     of the Exchange Act, or (2) eligible to be traded under a Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) exemptive order.

                     Rule 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19235"/>
                    1401 specifies the qualitative and quantitative standards that must be met for unlisted Debt Securities to be initially and continually traded on NYSE Bonds. Among other things, these standards specify that only unlisted Debt Securities with an outstanding market value or principal amount of at least $5 million will be permitted to be traded by NYSE members and member organizations, and that such trading will be suspended if (a) the market value or principal amount falls below $1 million, or (b) the Debt Securities either: (1) no longer qualify for a statutory exemption from the registration requirements of Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, or (2) may no longer be traded by NYSE members and member organizations on an unregistered basis pursuant to the 2006 Order.

Under the 2006 Order, among other things, the issuer of the debt security must have at least one class of common or preferred equity security listed on the Exchange. Further, for purposes of NYSE Rule 1400(2), the term Debt Securities includes only securities that, if they were to be listed on the NYSE, would be listed under Sections 102.03 or 103.05 of the NYSE's Listed Company Manual, except that such securities shall not include any security that is defined as an “equity security” under Section 3(a)(11) of the Exchange Act; the term Debt Securities also does not include a security that, if listed on the NYSE, would have been listed under Section 703.19 of the 
                        <PRTPAGE/>
                        NYSE's Listed Company Manual or any equity-linked debt securities listed under Rule 5P.

                <P>On April 12, 2024, the Exchange submitted an application to request further exemptive relief from the Commission. In its application, the Exchange requested that the Commission extend the relief granted in the 2006 Order and allow NYSE members and member organizations to trade debt securities not registered under the Exchange Act on NYSE Bonds, subject to certain conditions. One of those conditions is that an issuer of the debt securities, or the issuer's parent if the issuer is a wholly-owned subsidiary, has at least one class of common or preferred equity securities that is: (i) registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act; and (ii) listed on the NYSE. The Exchange's application sought to amend the 2006 Order by revising part (ii) of this condition so that debt securities not registered under the Exchange Act would be permitted to trade on NYSE Bonds if their issuer, or the issuer's parent if the issuer is a wholly-owned subsidiary, has a class of common or preferred equity securities listed on any national securities exchange, not only the NYSE.</P>
                <P>Further, in its application, the Exchange undertook that it would continue to provide the following information:</P>
                <P>(a) Provide definitions of “listed” debt securities and “traded” debt securities on NYSE Bonds and on the NYSE's website;</P>
                <P>
                    (b) Identify on NYSE Bonds and on the NYSE's website whether a particular debt security is “listed” or “traded”;

                    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend Exchange Rules 1400 and 1401 to accommodate the 2025 Order. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to add reference to the Securities Exchange Act citation for the 2025 Order and adopt a more general reference to describe both the 2006 Order and the 2025 Order by replacing the defined term “2006 Order” with “SEC Orders” throughout Rules 1400 and 1401. The proposed revision is intended to reflect the relief provided by the Commission in the 2006 Order and in the 2025 Order. The Exchange also proposes to replace the words “the New York Stock Exchange” from the text of Rule 1400(b) with “a registered national securities exchange” to reflect the exemptive relief granted in the 2025 Order.

                         The Exchange also proposes a non-substantive change to replace the name “Automated Bond System, or ABS” with “NYSE Bonds” in Rule 1400. Automated Bond System is the legacy name of the Exchange's bond platform. The ABS platform was re-named NYSE Bonds in 2007. The Exchange, however, inadvertently failed to make the name change in Rule 1400, as it did in Rule 86, when it filed to establish NYSE Bonds.

                    <FTREF/>

                    persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanisms of, a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest and because it is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. The Exchange believes the proposed rule changes are consistent with these principles in that they seek to expand the number of Debt Securities that can be traded on the NYSE, thereby benefitting investors with increased transparency and choice with respect to secondary market trading.

Instead, the Exchange believes that the proposed change would contribute to competition because it would expand investor choices on NYSE Bonds and allow the Exchange to compete better with ATSs that already have the ability to trade Debt Securities that is the subject of the Exchange's proposed rule change. The proposed rule change would also facilitate additional bond transactions on a national securities exchange, which would contribute to greater price transparency.

                <P>
                    The Exchange proposes to permit the listing and trading of A.M.- and P.M.-settled index options on the B500 Index with third Friday-of-the month expirations, and to allow the Exchange to list broad-based index options with nonstandard expirations (which are P.M. settled).
                    <SU>5</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     According to the Exchange, the B500 Index is a broad-based, float market-capitalization-weighted benchmark of the 500 most highly capitalized U.S.-listed companies.
                    <SU>6</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     The Exchange further states that all constituents of the B500 Index are securities consisting of common stocks, real estate investment trusts, and tracking stocks, which are primarily listed on a U.S. securities exchange.
                    <SU>7</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     Moreover, the components of the B500 Index are determined from the U.S.-listed companies that have the largest cumulative free-float market capitalization. Each component security of the B500 Index must meet certain minimum eligibility and liquidity screening requirements, and Bloomberg Index Services Limited (“BISL”), as the administrator of the B500 Index, monitors and maintains the B500 Index, including handling the quarterly and semi-annual rebalances.

                         proposed Exchange Rule 1801, Interpretation and Policy .01 (identifying BISL as the reporting authority for the B500 Index).
                    </P>
                </FTNT>
                <P>
                    According to the Exchange, the proposed A.M.-settled B500 Index options with third Friday-of-the-month expirations would satisfy the initial listing criteria for options on a broad-based index as set forth in Exchange Rule 1802(d), and would be subject to the maintenance listing standards for such indexes as set forth in Exchange Rule 1802(e).
                    <SU>9</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     The Exchange also states that A.M.-settlement is consistent with the generic listing criteria for broad-based indexes, and thus it is common for index options to be A.M.-settled.
                    <SU>10</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 1809(a)(5), A.M.-Settled Index Options, to specify that the B500 Index options may be A.M.-settled, cash-settled contracts.
                    <SU>11</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     In addition, the Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 1809 to permit the listing and trading of P.M.-settled, cash-settled options on the B500 Index with third Friday-of-the-month expirations, whose exercise settlement value would be based on the closing index value of the B500 Index on the expiration day.
                    <SU>12</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     The Exchange states that all B500 Index options would be subject to the same rules that presently govern the trading of index options, including sales practice rules, margin requirements, and trading rules.

                         note 3, at 12412. In the event the B500 Index fails to satisfy the maintenance listing standards, the Exchange states that it would not open for trading any additional series of options of that class unless the continued listing of that class of index options has been approved by the Commission under Section 19(b)(2) of the Act.

                         proposed Exchange Rule 1809(a)(6)(i). Proposed Exchange Rule 1809(a)(6) also sets forth rule text that would apply to P.M.-settled index options generally, and provides that the last day of trading for such index options shall be the business day of expiration, or, in the case of an option contract expiring on a day that is not a business day, on the last business day before its expiration date; that the current index value at expiration of the index is determined by the last reported sale price of each component security; and that in the event the primary market for an underlying security does not open for trading on the expiration date, the price of that security shall be the last reported sale price prior to the expiration date.

                    Under the proposed rule change, the Exchange may list up to twelve (12) standard expiration months for A.M.- and P.M.-settled series of B500 Index options with third Friday-of-the-month expirations 
                    <SU>14</SU>

                    <FTREF/>
                     The notional value of each A.M.- and P.M.-settled B500 Index option contract would be calculated using a $100 multiplier, and the minimum trading increment would be $0.05 for options trading below $3.00 and $0.10 for all other series.
                    <SU>16</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     The Exchange states that strike price intervals would be set at no less than $5.00.
                    <SU>17</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     Further, options on the B500 Index (all expirations) would not be subject to position or exercise limits.
                    <SU>18</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     According to the Exchange, the B500 Index would settle using published prices from the 500 most highly capitalized U.S.-listed companies.
                    <SU>19</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     Because the market for each of the underlying component securities of the B500 Index is so large, the Exchange believes that there is minimal risk of manipulation by virtue of position size in B500 Index options.
                    <SU>20</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     The Exchange also proposes to amend Exchange Rule 1808(a) to establish new subparagraph (a)(1), to provide that transactions in P.M.-settled B500 Index options may be effected on the Exchange between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time, except on the last trading day, on which the trading hours would be between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

                     According to the Exchange, the proposed A.M.- and P.M.-settled B500 Index options would be similar to other broad-based equity index options that are listed on other exchanges in terms of expirations listed, exercise style, settlement, and trading hours.

                         Further, the Exchange believes its reporting and other requirements will guard against the potential for manipulation. According to the Exchange, pursuant to Exchange Rule 310(a), Members would be required to file a report with the Exchange that includes data related to the option positions held in the aggregate in B500 Index options and, in the case of short positions, whether such positions were covered or uncovered. The Exchange also states that it has the ability to impose additional margin requirements for under hedged positions in B500 Index options pursuant to Exchange Rule 1504(b).

                    <FTREF/>
                     Specifically, the Exchange proposes to establish rules to permit both weekly expirations (“Weekly Expirations”) and end of month expirations (“EOM Expirations”).

                    The Exchange states that contract terms for the Weekly Expirations and EOM Expirations would be similar to those for the A.M.-settled index options, except that the exercise settlement value would be based on the index value derived from the closing prices of component stocks on the expiration date,

                    <FTREF/>
                     including being subject to the same rules that govern the trading of standard monthly broad-based index options, such as sales practice rules and margin requirements.

                    <FTREF/>
                     The Exchange further states that option positions on a broad-based index with nonstandard expirations would be aggregated for any applicable reporting and other requirements.

                    <FTREF/>
                     For instance, according to the Exchange, the reporting requirements described under Exchange Rule 310(a) would apply to a Member's aggregated position in B500 Index options, which would include all positions held in A.M.-settled B500 Index options, P.M.-settled B500 Index options with third Friday-of-the-month expirations, B500 Index options with Weekly Expirations and EOM Expirations, and any other B500 Index option expirations the Exchange may list pursuant to its rules (

                     In addition, the Exchange proposes to add nonstandard expirations to its rule regarding position limits for broad-based index options to reflect the Exchange's default aggregation requirement for broad-based index option position holders.

                     quarterly expiring options) that are listed on the Exchange, which do not expire on the customary third Friday.

                    The Exchange also commits to providing an annual report for a period of five years from the launch of B500 Index options (“Annual Report”).

                     The Exchange states that the purpose of the Annual Report would be to study, among other things, the impact, if any, of B500 Index options with P.M.-settlement on the underlying securities that comprise the B500 Index, as well as other linked-markets (
                    <E T="03">e.g.,</E>

                    <FTREF/>
                     For example, the Exchange would seek to analyze whether listing and offering P.M.-settled B500 Index options for trading would increase volatility around the market close in linked-markets, as well as its underlying component securities.

                    <FTREF/>
                     The Exchange states that the Annual Report would, generally, contain an analysis of volume, end-of-day open interest, exercised contracts, and trading patterns, to the extent possible, in B500 Index options and B500 Index futures.
                    <SU>45</SU>

                     Furthermore, as determined by the Exchange in light of the growth of the B500 Index option market after launch, or upon request by the Commission, the Exchange would provide an additional in-depth analysis of volatility and trading activity around B500 Index options P.M.-settlement (

                     B500 Index futures and B500 Index ETFs)). The Exchange would make all underlying data of data items included in the Annual Report and in-depth analysis publicly available in machine-readable format.

                    The Commission believes that the listing and trading of the proposed B500 Index options does not raise unique regulatory concerns. Options on broad-based indexes are not novel. As discussed above, the Exchange's rules already allow for the listing of options on certain broad-based indexes, and the Exchange has represented that the proposed standard A.M.-settled options on the B500 Index would satisfy the Exchange's current initial listing criteria for such options as set forth in Exchange Rule 1802(d).
                    <SU>51</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     The proposed options on the B500 Index also would be subject to the same Exchange rules that presently govern the trading of index options, including sales practice rules, margin requirements, and trading rules.
                    <SU>52</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     Moreover, other options exchanges currently have rules that allow those exchanges to list and trade A.M.- and P.M.-settled broad-based index options that expire on the third Friday-of-the-month, including options on the S&amp;P 500 Index,
                    <SU>53</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     which index is comprised of security components nearly identical to those that comprise the B500 index.
                    <SU>54</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     In addition, other options exchanges set forth rules allowing those exchanges to list and trade nonstandard expirations (with P.M. settlement) for broad-based index options that are substantively similar to the Exchange's proposal.
                    <SU>55</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     Further, there would be futures contracts overlying the same B500 Index, which could be an important hedging instrument for market makers and other market participants that establish positions in B500 index options.

                         note 9 and accompanying text. The Commission notes that certain Exchange rules are being amended to reflect the listing and trading of A.M.-settled options on the B500 Index, including the nonapplication of position limits. In addition, the Exchange's listing standards for a broad-based index option require the Exchange to reasonably believe that it has adequate system capacity to support the trading of B500 Index options.

                         Exchange Rule 1802(d)(12). As noted above, the Exchange represents that it believes the Exchange and OPRA have the necessary systems capacity to handle any additional messages associated with the listing of the maximum number expirations permitted for B500 Index options.

                         According to the Exchange, as of January 7, 2025, 67 components in the B500 Index were not also components in the S&amp;P 500 Index. The Exchange states that this was due, in part, to the methodology used to compute the B500 Index. However, even with the differences in index construction, the Exchange believes that both indexes are approximately 99% correlated. According to the Exchange, this is likely due to the lowest weighted securities being the main different components for each index.

                         Exchange Rule 1802(d)(2). Accordingly, the listing of a class of broad-based index options with nonstandard expirations and P.M. settlement pursuant to Exchange Rule 1809, Interpretation and Policy .06, requires the filing of a proposed rule change to that effect for the specific broad-based index option, which proposed rule change must be approved by the Commission under Section 19(b) of the Act.

The Exchange's proposal to permit the listing and trading of options on the B500 Index, including B500 index options with nonstandard expirations and P.M. settlement, could benefit investors and enhance competition by providing investors with additional investment and hedging alternatives on a broad-based index composed of actively traded, well-capitalized stocks.</P>
                <P>Specifically, B500 Index options could benefit investors and enhance competition by providing new and additional opportunities for investors to hedge the market risk associated with, and gain directional exposure to, the broader U.S. equity market. In addition, the Exchange's proposal to provide B500 Index options with nonstandard expirations could benefit investors and remove impediments to a free and open market by allowing market participants to purchase B500 Index options in a manner more aligned with their specific timing needs and to roll their positions on more trading days, which may enable market participants to more precisely spread risk across more trading days and incorporate daily changes in the markets. Further, the P.M. settlement feature permits trading in B500 Index options throughout the expiration day, which should enable market participants to trade out of their positions up until the time the contract settles and may permit market participants to more effectively manage overnight risk and reduce residual risk on the day of expiration.</P>
                <P>Importantly, as discussed above, the Exchange has committed to providing an Annual Report for five years after the launch of B500 Index options, the purpose of which is to study the market impact of P.M.-settled B500 Index options. Further, as determined by the Exchange in light of the growth of the B500 Index options market or upon request by the Commission, the Exchange will provide an additional in-depth analysis of volatility and trading activity around P.M. settlement of B500 Index options. These Exchange commitments are designed to protect investors and the public interest, as they should provide the Commission with data and analysis that sheds light on the development of the market for B500 Index options and enables the Commission to monitor for and assess any potential adverse market effects after the introduction of B500 Index options to the market.</P>
                <P>
                    The Commission believes the Exchange's proposal to impose no position or exercise limits for options on the B500 Index is appropriate and consistent with the Act because the potential for manipulation or market disruption stemming from excessively large B500 Index option positions is mitigated. As discussed above, the B500 Index consists of 500 of the most highly capitalized U.S.-listed companies. The 
                    <PRTPAGE P="19240"/>
                    large number of underlying securities contained in the B500 Index as well as their enormous capitalization and deep, liquid markets significantly reduces concerns regarding the potential for market manipulation or disruption in the market underlying B500 Index options. In addition, the Exchange has in place reporting and other requirements that should enable it to guard against the potential for manipulation or adverse market impact stemming from B500 Index option positions.

                    <FTREF/>
                     Moreover, the Exchange's proposal is consistent with the rules of other exchanges that do not impose position or exercise limits on certain broad-based index options, including options on the S&amp;P 500 Index.

In addition, pursuant to Exchange Rule 1504(b), the Exchange has the ability to impose additional margin requirements for under-hedged positions in B500 Index options.

                    The Commission also believes that the potential risks of trading B500 Index options without position and exercise limits are mitigated by the Exchange's surveillances mechanisms, consistent with Sections 6(b)(1) and 6(b)(5) of the Act.

                <P>On May 10, 2024, SSA published an FRN (89 FR 40523) announcing an increase in the representative fee cap to $9,200, effective November 30, 2024. Additionally, the May 10, 2024, FRN announced that starting January 2026, SSA would annually publish an FRN addressing the maximum dollar amount for fee agreements and providing a rationale for either increasing or maintaining the maximum dollar amount based upon the COLA for the prior year.</P>
                <P>
                    Pursuant to this Notice, we will maintain the increased fee cap of $9,200, which was effective November 30, 2024. However, SSA has determined that, consistent with the Act, we will not publish an FRN each year providing a rationale for either increasing or not increasing the fee cap, but will only publish a notice in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     when increasing the fee cap. We have determined that publishing an FRN each year regardless of whether we increase the fee cap would impose unnecessary administrative burdens and resource expenditures that the Act does not mandate. This decision aligns SSA's policies with Administration priorities to most efficiently allocate agency resources.

                <P>Under part 235 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and 49 U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides the public notice that by letter dated February 26, 2025, FGA petitioned FRA seeking approval to discontinue or modify a signal system. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2025-0024.</P>
                <P>Specifically, FGA requests to discontinue the centralized traffic control (CTC) system on the Tallahassee Subdivision, from milepost (MP) 693.3 to MP 802.0. FGA intends to remove the “outdated” CTC system and install “switch point approach signal indicators, DTMF Systems, and self-restoring switches at five siding locations between Baldwin and Tallahassee, as well as the switch accessing the Bainbridge Line at Tallahassee.” Train operation would then use track warrant control, which is used on FGA's other two subdivisions.</P>
                <P>In support of the request, FGA states that it is difficult to find parts for the current CTC system, as the relays required are no longer produced, and the system frequently fails. Further, the CTC system sometimes “hinders operations by slowing down the switching operations when blocking or organizing interchange traffic.” FGA adds that the new DTMF system will provide broken rail protection and there is no potential for head-on or rear-end collisions at either interlocking in the subject area.</P>
                <P>
                    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at 
                    <E T="03">www.regulations.gov.</E>
                </P>
                <P>Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party desires an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for their request.</P>
                <P>Communications received by June 5, 2025 will be considered by FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be considered if practicable. </P>

                <P>Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by letters received February 24, 2025, and March 20, 2025, NCRA petitioned FRA to extend a special approval pursuant to 49 CFR part 215 (Railroad Freight Car Safety Standards), and to extend a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained in part 215. The relevant Docket Number is FRA-2025-0036.</P>
                <P>
                    Specifically, NCRA requests to extend the relief granted in Docket Numbers FRA-2013-0057 and FRA-2020-0067. FRA is combining the requests into this new single docket (FRA-2025-0036). NCRA asks to extend the previous special approval pursuant to § 215.203, 
                    <E T="03">Restricted cars,</E>
                     for 5 cars (NCR 127, NCR 150, NCR 840, NCR 613, and SIHX 820) that are more than 50 years from the dates of original construction. NCRA also seeks to extend relief from § 215.303, 
                    <E T="03">Stenciling of restricted cars.</E>
                     In its petition, NCRA states that the cars will be used in excursion service and will be operated at a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour.
