2026-23074Proposed rule

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Dassault Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50, FALCON 2000, and FALCON 2000EX airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a reported quality escape and a determination that high-temperature oxidation of main landing gear (MLG) upper and lower torque links may have occurred during manufacturing. This proposed AD would require replacing any affected MLG with a serviceable MLG. This proposed AD would also limit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Airplanes

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH (DAI) Model DA 50 C airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of flap actuator failures. This proposed AD would require inspecting for displacement of the black slide grommet and inspecting the rod end bearing for a tight fit of the flap actuator. This proposed AD would also require modification of the flap actuator followed by repetitive inspections for a broken actuator torque seal on the jam nuts at the attachment of the rod end bearing of the flap actuator with applicable corrective action. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of unmodified flap actuators on any airplane. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Authorization To Manufacture and Distribute Postage Evidencing Systems

The Postal Service is amending its Postage Evidencing Systems regulations to align with existing practices and operational realities to better address circumstances where advances by a resetting company on any given day exceed the daily average funds advanced amount maintained on deposit with the Postal Service. The regulations currently allow resetting companies to advance postage to customers by a process where the resetting company maintains a daily average advance balance with the Postal Service. The current regulation contemplates that the amount on deposit will always cover amounts advanced and does not permit a resetting company to advance funds to customers in excess of the amount maintained on deposit. Operational realities will create circumstances where it is necessary to advance funds in excess of the amount on deposit and the average daily balance rule represents a practical and fair method to address circumstances where excess advances occur.

Rangeland Management

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA or Department) proposes to amend the regulations governing grazing and livestock use on the National Forest System to modernize grazing administration, improve clarity, codify existing policy, and expand opportunities for stewardship and access. The proposed amendments would update permit issuance, eligibility, and qualification provisions; establish a framework for adaptive response to drought, wildfire, and similar disturbance events; and expand authorities for stewardship-oriented livestock use, including adding the ability to implement stewardship projects (such as outcome-based grazing or targeted grazing) under a temporary grazing permit or livestock use permit. The proposed rule would revise grazing fee provisions to ensure consistent fee-setting across the national forests in the 16 contiguous Western States and the national grasslands, and establish a surcharge for authorized leasing of livestock by permittees. It would consolidate and renumber existing sections in subpart A for clarity and make conforming, technical, and administrative updates throughout part 222. The Department invites public comment on all aspects of the proposed rule.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Reforming Categorical Eligibility

Under section 5(a) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, households in which each member receives benefits under a State program funded by Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) are categorically eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Current SNAP regulations consider TANF benefits to include both cash assistance and non-cash or in-kind benefits or services from TANF-funded programs. This proposal would limit categorical eligibility to only households that receive TANF assistance, as defined at 45 CFR 260.31. These revisions would ensure that SNAP benefits are targeted to needy households that have qualified for TANF assistance while still aligning categorical eligibility's statutory purpose of simplifying program administration. A 100-word summary of this rule has been posted to www.regulations.gov and can be found here.

Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-05-07, which applies to all Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW189 helicopters. AD 2024-05-07 requires revising the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the existing helicopter maintenance manual or instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) and the existing approved maintenance or inspection program, as applicable. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-05-07, it was determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would require revising the ALS of the existing maintenance manual or ICA and the existing approved maintenance or inspection program, as applicable. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-13-20, which applies to certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. AD 2021-13-20 requires inspecting the waste box, waste access doubler, and waste service door for corrosion, and doing applicable on-condition actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2021-13-20, the FAA has determined that a full secondary fuel vapor barrier must be applied. This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2021-13-20 and would also require, for certain airplanes, an additional inspection of the waste box, waste access doubler, and waste service door for corrosion, and applicable on- condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Unemployment Insurance Program National Minimum Weekly Work Search Requirements

The U.S. Department of Labor (Department), through the Employment and Training Administration (ETA), is proposing to amend 20 CFR part 604 both to reflect a 2012 update in Federal law in which Congress, by amending section 303(a) of the Social Security Act (SSA), established a Federal work search requirement; and to establish a national minimum weekly work search requirement standard for the Federal-State unemployment compensation (UC) program. This proposed rule would mandate, among other things, that States require individuals claiming UC to complete at least five qualifying work search activities or, where applicable, meet State-adopted points-based system requirements amounting to five qualifying activities or satisfy equivalent labor force attachment criteria, each week for which UC is claimed; that individuals report their work search activities as part of their certification process prior to payment being issued; and that State law allow for certain qualifying work search activities beyond simply employer contacts. This action is necessary to reduce inconsistencies beyond those created by local labor markets in State- level requirements for individuals to actively seek work. The intended effect is to hold States accountable for administering a UC program that provides temporary wage replacement to eligible individuals while they are actively seeking work through a meaningful engagement with the labor market.

Television Broadcasting Services Odessa, Texas

This document proposes to amend the Table of TV Allotments (Table) of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by Gray Television Licensee, LLC (Gray), the licensee of KOSA-TV (KOSA-TV), Odessa, Texas (Odessa). Gray held a construction permit to construct a facility on UHF channel 31 at Odessa, and now requests that the Bureau substitute VHF channel 7 for UHF channel 31 in the Table, with the technical parameters as set forth in KOSA-TV's current license. The Media Bureau previously granted a petition for rulemaking submitted by Gray to substitute UHF channel 31 for VHF channel 7 at Odessa. Gray states that it is unable to complete construction of its new channel within the time specified on the construction permit, and therefore requests amendment of the Table to allow it to continue to operate on VHF channel 7 at its currently licensed technical parameters to provide uninterrupted service to viewers. Given that the Licensee proposes to utilize its currently licensed parameters, we believe VHF channel 7 can be substituted for UHF channel 31 at Odessa as proposed, in compliance with the principal community coverage requirements of the Commission's rules. In addition, we find that this channel change meets the technical requirements set forth in the Commission's rules.

Pacific Island Fisheries; Commercial Fishing in the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument Expansion

NMFS proposes to amend regulations that prohibit commercial fishing in the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument Expansion (PRIMNM Expansion), which comprises waters of the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) between 50 to 200 nautical miles (nmi; 93 to 370 kilometers (km)) around Johnston Atoll and Wake and Jarvis Islands. This action is necessary to conform fishing regulations with Presidential Proclamation 10918 of April 17, 2025--Unleashing American Commercial Fishing in the Pacific, as amended by Presidential Proclamation 11035 of June 11, 2026--Restoring American Commercial Fishing in the Pacific, and in light of a court order. Fisheries in the PRIMNM Expansion would be regulated pursuant to existing fishing regulations under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act (WCPFCIA), the South Pacific Tuna Act (SPTA), and other applicable laws, that apply to all U.S. commercial fishing vessels but were superseded and made inapplicable when the commercial fishing prohibition for the PRIMNM Expansion was established. The proposed rule supports the long-term sustainability of U.S. fisheries and provides for the proper care and management of the PRIMNM and PRIMNM Expansion and the objects of historic or scientific interest therein, as directed by Proclamation 10918, as amended by Proclamation 11035.

Update and Clarification of the Passenger Facility Charge Regulations

On September 27, 2023 FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend its Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) regulations to implement congressionally mandated changes to an existing pilot program within the PFC program. FAA also proposed to reaffirm existing program requirements and update or remove obsolete references within the PFC regulations. Following publication of the NPRM and before FAA issued a final rule, the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 (the 2024 Act) was signed into law on May 16, 2024. Several sections of the 2024 Act necessitate changes to PFC regulations or modifications to proposals made in the NPRM. As such, FAA now issues this supplemental proposal addressing: PFC turnback reductions; two new PFC-eligible projects; restrictions to PFC-eligible projects; FAA's timeline for review and acknowledgement of notice of intent (NOI) submissions; PFC streamlining review eligibility; and PFC submittal requirements. This proposal aligns with the requirements established by the 2024 Act.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-25-09, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 757 airplanes. AD 2024-25-09 requires installing new relays and changing certain wire bundles leading to the power transfer unit (PTU) control valve. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-25-09, the FAA determined that the requirements bulletin mandated by AD 2024-25-09 contains errors. In some cases, those errors prevent the actions required by AD 2024-25-09 from being fully accomplished. In other cases, the errors would allow actions that could introduce new hazards affecting the operation and thus the availability of the PTU. This proposed AD would require, depending on the airplane configuration, installing new relays and new connectors, changing certain wire bundles, doing an operational test, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Modernization of FMVSS No. 108 To Accommodate ADS-Equipped Vehicles

NHTSA is proposing to amend Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." The proposed updates to the standard are intended to remove unnecessary requirements and to provide design flexibility without impact on vehicle safety. The first two proposed changes would amend the test voltage specification for integral beam type headlamps and remove requirements that apply to vertical headlamp arrangements. Further proposed changes address vehicles equipped with Automated Driving Systems (ADS) that do not have manually operated driving controls. Those modifications would limit the application of certain requirements for manually operated turn signal, hazard warning signal, and beam switching controls to vehicles with manually operated driving controls. The changes are intended to address regulatory burdens and costs associated with equipment that does not fulfill the same purpose or provide safety benefits in an ADS-equipped vehicle without manually operated driving controls as in a vehicle with such controls. The changes would also narrow certain requirements for telltales to vehicles with manually operated driving controls and incorporate the term "telltale" where appropriate throughout the standard. Finally, a proposed addition to the standard would allow cyan-colored ADS marker lamps as optional motor vehicle lighting equipment in ADS-equipped vehicles.

Minimum Maturation Temperature for Beef and Ovine Meat From Regions Affected With Foot-and-Mouth Disease

We are proposing to amend the regulations regarding the minimum maturation temperature for fresh (chilled or frozen) boneless beef and ovine meat from certain listed regions or countries affected with foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) from 4 [deg]C to 2 [deg]C. All other existing mitigations for the importation of beef from regions or countries affected with FMD would remain unchanged. This action is needed to align the regulations with the World Organization for Animal Health's standards for FMD minimum maturation temperatures, while continuing to protect the United States against the introduction of FMD.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Model AS350B3, AS355F, AS355F1, AS355F2, AS355N, AS355NP, EC130B4, and EC130T2 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of the loss of the tightening torque between the upper ball bearing end and a main rotor (MR) servo-control. This proposed AD would require an inspection of the nut tightening torque of the upper ball bearing end of all the MR servo-controls and, depending on the results, corrective actions. The proposed AD would also require reporting the inspection results. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Modernizing the Commission's National Environmental Policy Act Rules

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) seeks additional comment on the Commission's National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) framework, to further expedite, simplify, and reduce the costs of environmental review. This includes refreshing the record on the meaning of "undertaking" and the Commission's approach to implementing section 106 of the NHPA. The Commission also seeks comment on whether activities related to the deployment and operation of communications infrastructure are within the scope of "undertaking," as well as on other practices or actions the Commission could adopt to provide more efficiency and predictability in the section 106 process. Additionally, the Commission seeks comment on whether communications infrastructure deployments are agency actions subject to the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-09-07, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A330-243, -243F, -841, and -941 airplanes. AD 2025-09-07 requires revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) by providing instructions to address dual loss of radio management panel (RMP) data synchronization, and the existing minimum equipment list (MEL) by removing relief for an inoperative RMP 3. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-09-07, a modification that addresses the unsafe condition has been developed. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions specified in AD 2025-09-07 and would require modifying the airplane. This proposed AD also reduces the applicability. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Safety Zone; FRL Inaugural Invitational eFoil Exhibition Race, Miami Marine Stadium Basin, Miami, FL

The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a temporary safety zone for certain navigable waters in the Miami Marine Stadium Basin in connection with the FRL Inaugural Invitational eFoil Exhibition Race. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards associated with eFoil race operations. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from being in the safety zone unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Miami. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney RTX Corporation (Type Certificate Previously Held by Pratt & Whitney Division United Technologies Corporation) Engines

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2026-09-02, which applies to certain Pratt & Whitney RTX Corporation (PW) Model PW4074, PW4074D, PW4077, PW4077D, PW4084D, PW4090, and PW4090-3 engines. AD 2026-09-02 requires repetitive angle ultrasonic scan inspections (AUSIs) of the high-pressure compressor (HPC) 15th- stage disks, front turbine hubs, high-pressure turbine (HPT) 1st-stage air seals, and HPT 2nd-stage hubs for crack indications, and removal from service and replacement if necessary, and for certain serial numbers, removal from service and replacement of the HPT 1st-stage air seal. Since the FAA issued AD 2026-09-02, the FAA was notified that a certain part number was omitted from AD 2026-09-02 and the applicability of the optional terminating action was matched to an unrelated requirement. This proposed AD would require repetitive AUSIs of the HPC 15th-stage disks, front turbine hubs, HPT 1st-stage air seals, and HPT 2nd-stage hubs for crack indications, and removal from service and replacement if necessary, and for certain serial numbers, removal from service and replacement of the HPT 1st-stage air seal. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans-Pinal County (Part); West Pinal, AZ PM10 Nonattainment Area; Moderate Area, Serious Area, and Section 189(d) Plan for Attainment of the 24-Hour PM10 Standard

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Arizona to meet Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act") requirements applicable to the Pinal County (Part); West Pinal PM<INF>10</INF> nonattainment area ("West Pinal County PM<INF>10</INF> Nonattainment Area"). The EPA is proposing to find that the submitted SIP revision meets all applicable "Moderate" area, "Serious" area, and CAA section 189(d) requirements for the PM<INF>10</INF> national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Additionally, the EPA is proposing to approve the PM<INF>10</INF> motor vehicle emissions budgets included with the SIP revision for transportation conformity purposes. The EPA is also starting the adequacy process for these budgets. Our proposed approval of the SIP revision would establish an attainment date of December 31, 2026, for the area.

Television Broadcasting Services Des Moines, Iowa

This document proposes to amend the Table of TV Allotments (Table) of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by Iowa Public Broadcasting Board (Licensee), the licensee of noncommercial educational PBS member television station KDIN-TV (KDIN-TV), Des Moines, Iowa (Des Moines). The Licensee holds a construction permit (CP) to construct a facility on UHF channel *34 at Des Moines, and now requests to substitute VHF channel *11 for UHF channel *34 in the Table, with the technical parameters as set forth in KDIN-TV's current license. The Media Bureau previously granted a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Licensee to substitute UHF channel *34 in place of VHF channel *11 at Des Moines. The Licensee states that it is now unable to complete construction of the channel *34 facility within the time specified on the construction permit, and therefore requests amendment of the Table to allow it to continue to operate on VHF channel *11 at its currently licensed technical parameters to provide uninterrupted service to viewers. Given that the Licensee proposes to utilize its currently licensed parameters, we believe VHF channel *11 can be substituted for UHF channel *34 at Des Moines as proposed, in compliance with the principal community coverage requirements. In addition, we find that this channel change meets the technical requirements as well as the Commission's interference protection requirements.
