✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directives for Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-08-05, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A330-200 series, A330-200 Freighter series, A330-300 series, A330-841, and A330-941 airplanes. AD 2024-08-05 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-08- 05, the FAA has determined that additional new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would retain certain actions in AD 2024-08-05 until the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, is revised to incorporate the new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Learn More🌍Notice of Public Meetings for Environmental Impact Statement in Hawaii
Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and regulations implemented by the DoN and NASA, as joint lead agencies, DoN and NASA have prepared and filed with the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency a Draft Environmental Impact Statement(EIS) for retaining the use of state lands on Kaua[revaps]i, Hawai[revaps]i (HI) in support current operations that occur on these lands. The Draft EIS includes an analysis of the potential environmental effects associated with the continued long-term DoD use of 8,172 acres of State lands on Kaua[revaps]i for operational continuity and sustainment (in support of continued military training, testing, and facility operations) at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), and the continued long-term NASA use of 23 acres of State lands on Kaua[revaps]i in support of continued operations (including measurements of the Earth[revaps]s rotation and local land motion) at the K[omacr]ke[revaps]e Park Geophysical Observatory (KPGO). As the Proposed Action involves State lands, the EIS is a joint NEPA and Hawai[revaps]i Environmental Policy Act (HEPA) (as governed by Hawai[revaps]i Revised Statutes (HRS) Chapter 343), and Hawai[revaps]i Administrative Rules (HAR) (implementing HRS Chapter 343) document; therefore, the public review processes will run concurrently and will jointly meet NEPA and HEPA requirements.

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in response to a request under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended, from the U.S. Coast Guard, propose to issue regulations for the nonlethal, incidental, unintentional take by harassment of small numbers of Southcentral Alaska, Southeast Alaska, and Southwest Alaska stocks of northern sea otters (Enhydra lutris kenyoni) during pile driving and marine construction activities in Seward, Sitka, and Kodiak, Alaska. Incidental take of northern sea otters may result from in-water noise generated during pile driving and marine construction activities occurring for a period up to 5 years. This proposed rule would authorize take by harassment only, and no lethal take would be authorized. If this rule is finalized, we will issue letters of authorization for the incidental take of northern sea otters, upon request, for specific activities in accordance with the final rule for a period up to 5 years. We request comments on these proposed regulations.
