Open for Comment: Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

Transportation Department — The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-04-05, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A330-841 and -941 airplanes. AD 2025-04-05 requires a revision of the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) and removal of the previously required limitations; a revision of the existing minimum equipment list (MEL); one-time or repetitive seal integrity tests of each engine bleed air system (EBAS) high pressure valve (HPV); additional maintenance instructions and corrective actions; and repetitive replacement of affected HPV clips; as applicable. AD 2025-04-05 also limits the installation of affected HPV clips. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-04-05, an improved EBAS HPV with unaffected HPV clips was certified, and it was determined that the bleed monitoring computer (BMC) software (SW) must be updated. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2025-04-05, except for repetitive replacement of affected HPV clips. This proposed AD would also require updating the BMC SW, additional work, and an additional revision of the existing MEL for the engine bleed overpressure valve; as applicable. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of certain BMC SW. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. (46 days remaining)

Open for Comment: Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance

Management and Budget Office — The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) proposes to revise the Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance to improve government- wide policies and requirements related to the management of grants, cooperative agreements, and other forms of assistance. OMB is proposing revisions that would improve transparency, accountability, and oversight for Federal awards across the Federal Government. This includes ensuring that American tax dollars are not wasted or misused, activities performed under Federal awards are consistent with law and policy, and recipients are held accountable when they fail to meet relevant standards. The revisions also aim to ensure that basic American principles of equality and equal opportunity are upheld throughout all stages of the award making process and that unlawful discrimination is no longer permitted. Proposed changes also include providing further clarification on the regulatory status of the OMB requirements and on the process for future updates to the government- wide requirements. Finally, OMB also proposes changes to reduce recipient burden. The listed Federal grant-making agencies propose conforming changes to their respective adopting regulations, or, in the case of some agencies and other entities, establishing new adopting regulations or policies. The proposed changes reflect the administration's commitment to transparency, accountability, and proper oversight for the Federal grantmaking process. The proposed regulations seek to ensure that American tax dollars are ultimately used to serve the needs of the American public. (45 days remaining)

Environmental Protection Agency — The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to determine under the Clean Air Act (CAA) that the Detroit, Michigan nonattainment area ("Detroit area" or "area") attained the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) by the applicable attainment date.

Therefore, the EPA is proposing to take final agency action on Michigan's exceptional events request.
