Learn More✈️FAA Airworthiness Directive for BRP-Rotax Engines - 2025
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-07- 02, which applied to certain BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co KG (Rotax) Model 912 iSc2 Sport, 912 iSc3 Sport, 915 iSc2 C24, and 915 iSc3 C24 engines. AD 2025-07-02 required repetitive operational checks of the battery backup function with removal of the engine from service if insufficient battery power is found, one-time inspections of the oil spray nozzle and generator stator assembly, and, depending on the results of the inspections, replacement with parts eligible for installation. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-07-02, the FAA has determined that the inspection of the generator stator assembly should be an on-condition action depending on the results of the oil spray nozzle inspection. This AD retains all of the requirements of AD 2025-07-02 and changes the one-time inspection of the generator stator assembly and wiring to an on-condition action based on the results of the one-time inspection of the oil spray nozzle. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

During the June 2025 Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) meeting, the Council reviewed and made recommendations to NMFS regarding applications received in 2025 for exempted fishing permits (EFPs) for U.S. West Coast highly migratory species (HMS) fisheries.

The applicants propose to test the effects and efficacy of using alternative fishing practices to harvest swordfish and other HMS off of the U.S. West Coast. The applications include requests to fish with a gear configuration including modified standard and linked deep-set buoy gear (DSBG) at night, or night-set buoy gear (NSBG).

Learn More🛡️New DoD Counterintelligence System
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the DoD is establishing a new Department-wide system of records titled, "Counterintelligence Investigations and Collection Activities (CICA)," DoD-0025. This system of records covers DoD's maintenance of records about counterintelligence (CI) investigations and collection activities. The purpose of CICA is to determine whether an individual is acting for or on behalf of foreign powers organizations, or persons, or their agents, or international terrorist organizations or activities. This differs from the purpose of Counterintelligence Functional Services (CIFS), DoD-0010, which protects Department resources and personnel from foreign adversaries who seek to exploit sensitive information, operations, and agency programs to the detriment of the U.S. Government. It is also separate from the purpose of the DoD Insider Threat Management and Analysis Center (DITMAC) and DoD Component Insider Threat Records System, DUSDI 01-DoD, which addresses security functions. Additionally, DoD is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which proposes to exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy Act, elsewhere in today's issue of the Federal Register.
