Learn More✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for ATR Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain ATR--GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42- 300, -320, -500, ATR72-201, and -212A airplanes, and for all ATR--GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR72-102, -202, -211, and - 212 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by an inspection on the ATR final assembly line that found a fire extinguishing tube, located on the ceiling of the aft cargo compartment, disconnected from its sleeve. This proposed AD would require a functional check of the aft cargo fire extinguishing system and applicable on-condition actions, if necessary. For certain airplanes, this proposed AD would also require an additional functional check and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is classifying the multiplex respiratory panel to detect and identify emerging respiratory pathogen(s) and common respiratory pathogens in human clinical specimens into class II (special controls). The special controls that apply to the device type are identified in this order and will be part of the codified language for classification of the multiplex respiratory panel to detect and identify emerging respiratory pathogen(s) and common respiratory pathogens in human clinical specimens. We are taking this action because we have determined that classifying the device into class II will provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device. We believe this action will also enhance patients' access to beneficial innovative devices, in part by reducing regulatory burdens.
