04-28145,Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc RB211 Trent 800 Series Turbofan Engines,Proposed Rule,"The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211 Trent 800 series turbofan engines. This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive borescope inspections of the high pressure-and-intermediate pressure (HP-IP) turbine internal and external oil vent tubes for coking and carbon buildup, and cleaning or replacing the vent tubes if necessary. This proposed AD results from a report of an RB211 Trent 700 series engine experiencing a disk shaft separation, overspeed of the IP turbine rotor, and multiple blade release of IP turbine blades. Preliminary findings suggest these events resulted from an internal oil fire in the HP-IP turbine oil vent tubes due to coking and carbon buildup. This fire led to a second fire in the internal air cavity below the IP turbine disk drive shaft. We are proposing this AD to prevent internal oil fires in RB211 Trent 800 series turbofan engines due to coking and carbon buildup, that could cause uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.",2004-12-27,2004,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/12/27/04-28145/airworthiness-directives-rolls-royce-plc-rb211-trent-800-series-turbofan-engines,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-12-27/pdf/04-28145.pdf,Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration,"492,159",The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211 Trent 800 series turbofan engines.

FSIS is concerned about the widespread, illegal use of drug implants in young calves that was discovered in 2004. The discovery of this illegal use represents a change that would affect the hazard analysis and could alter the HACCP plans, of establishments that slaughter young calves. Therefore, under the HACCP regulations, any establishment that slaughters young calves, including those marketed, slaughtered, and labeled as veal, must, as part of its calendar year 2005 annual reassessment of its HACCP plans, determine whether unapproved new animal drugs are hazards reasonably likely to occur in its process if it has not previously done so. If the reassessment results in a determination that animal drug residues, including unapproved new animal drugs, are food safety hazards reasonably likely to occur, these hazards must be addressed in the establishment's HACCP plan.

The Commission proposes to amend its regulations to permit a corporate member of a trade association to provide incidental services to collect and forward contributions from its restricted class employees to the SSF of the trade association, including a payroll deduction or check-off system, upon written request of the trade association. In addition, the proposed regulations would require any corporate member of a trade association that provides incidental services for contributions to the trade association's SSF also to provide the same services for contributions to the SSF of any labor organization that represents employees of the corporation, upon written request of the labor organization and at a cost not to exceed actual expenses incurred.

Taking this action will allow us that flexibility and ensure grant awards are made to high quality applicants. The proposed regulations also would remove the requirement that in competitions for grants under the Partnership and Teacher-Recruitment components of the Teacher Quality Enhancement Grants Program, the Secretary hold a two-stage competition in which applicants must submit a pre-application and a full application. The current structure has not proven effective in producing high quality applications for this program.

Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005, Pub. L. 108-375, 118 Stat. 1811, enacted on October 28, 2004. The proposed amendments to GAO's Bid Protest Regulations implement the legislation's provisions related to the bid protest process, where a public-private competition has been conducted under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, as revised on May 29, 2003, regarding an activity or function of a Federal agency performed by more than 65 full-time equivalent employees of the Federal agency. In this regard, the legislating grants designated representatives of an in-house competitor the status of an ""interested party"" to file a protest at GAO or the status of an ""intervenor"" to participate in a protest filed at GAO. In addition, consistent with the legislation, GAO is proposing to add a provision to its Bid Protest Regulations stating that GAO will not review the decision of an agency tender official to file a protest (or not to file a protest) in connection with a public-private competition. At this time, GAO believes that these proposed revisions are the only regulatory changes necessary to implement the statutory requirements expanding the definitions of an interested party and an intervenor in protests involving public-private competitions.

The purpose of this proposed regulatory addition is to extend USAID marking requirements to assistance awards in order to bring USAID regulations in line with section 641 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, which requires that ""[p]rograms under this Act shall be identified appropriately overseas as `American Aid,' "" as well as to advance the Administration's efforts to ensure that aid recipients overseas understand that all aid, including assistance awards, is foreign assistance from the American taxpayer.",2004-12-20,2004,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/12/20/04-27791/administration-of-assistance-awards-to-us-non-governmental-organizations-marking-requirements,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-12-20/pdf/04-27791.pdf,Agency for International Development,6,"USAID proposes to amend the primary regulation governing administration of USAID funded assistance awards, by adding a provision requiring marking with the USAID Standard Graphic Identity, of commodities, programs, projects, activities and public..."
04-26877,Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed Designation of Critical Habitat for the Pacific Coast Population of the Western Snowy Plover,Proposed Rule,"We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to designate critical habitat for the Pacific coast distinct population segment of the western snowy plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). In developing this proposal, we evaluated those lands determined to contain habitat features essential to the conservation of the Pacific coast population of the western snowy plover to ascertain if any specific areas are appropriate for exclusion from critical habitat pursuant to section 4(b)(2) of the Act. Section 4(b)(2) requires us to take into account economic and other impacts resulting from designation, and allows us to exclude areas with essential habitat features if the benefits of exclusion outweigh those of designation. Additionally, the newly amended section 4(a)(3) requires exclusion of military lands subject to an Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP) that benefits the species. We have excluded several units based on these provisions. Additionally, we have considered, but are not proposing, several areas that were either unoccupied at the time of listing (1993) or are unoccupied now. We include descriptions and maps of these areas and are soliciting public comment regarding the appropriateness of including any of these areas in the final critical habitat designation. We propose to designate approximately 17,299 acres (ac) (7,001 hectares (ha)) within 35 units along the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington. This rule is being proposed pursuant to a court order issued in July 2003, partially vacating critical habitat established for the Pacific coast population of the western snowy plover and remanding the previous designation of critical habitat for preparation of a new analysis of the economic impacts (Coos County Board of County Commissioners et al. v. Department of the Interior et al.). If this proposal is made final, section 7 of the Act would prohibit destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat by any activity authorized, funded, or carried out by any Federal agency. As required by section 4 of the Act, we will consider the economic and other relevant impacts prior to making a final decision on what areas to designate as critical habitat. We hereby solicit information and comments from the public on all aspects of this proposal, including data on the economic and other impacts of designation as well as any benefits of the designation (see Public Comments Solicited section below). We are also specifically soliciting public comments on the appropriateness of excluding lands covered by certain approved and pending habitat conservation plans or management plans, and Department of Defense lands pursuant to section 4(b)(2) and 4(a)(3) of the Act from this proposed designation. We may revise this proposal prior to final designation to incorporate or address new information received during the comment period. In the development of our final designation, we will incorporate or address any new information received during the public comment periods, or from our evaluation of the potential economic impacts of this proposal. As such, we may revise this proposal to address new information and/or to either exclude additional areas that may warrant exclusion pursuant to section 4(b)(2) or to add in those areas determined to contain essential habitat features but excluded from this proposal.",2004-12-17,2004,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/12/17/04-26877/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-proposed-designation-of-critical-habitat-for-the,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-12-17/pdf/04-26877.pdf,Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service,"253,197","We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to designate critical habitat for the Pacific coast distinct population segment of the western snowy plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as..."

04-27434,Amendments to Regulation M: Anti-Manipulation Rules Concerning Securities Offerings,Proposed Rule,"The Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) is proposing amendments to Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), which governs the activities of underwriters, issuers, selling security holders, and others in connection with offerings of securities. The proposed amendments are intended to prohibit certain activities by underwriters and other distribution participants that can undermine the integrity and fairness of the offering process, particularly with respect to allocations of offered securities. The proposal also seeks to enhance the transparency of syndicate covering bids, which may affect the aftermarket price and trading of an offered security, and prohibit the use of penalty bids. The amendments also are intended to update certain definitional and operational provisions in light of market developments since Regulation M's adoption. As a consequence of these proposed amendments to Regulation M, we are also recommending corresponding changes to disclosure rules under the Securities Act of 1933 (""Securities Act"") as well as changes to certain recordkeeping rules under the Exchange Act.",2004-12-17,2004,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/12/17/04-27434/amendments-to-regulation-m-anti-manipulation-rules-concerning-securities-offerings,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-12-17/pdf/04-27434.pdf,Securities and Exchange Commission,466,"The Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) is proposing amendments to Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), which governs the activities of underwriters, issuers, selling security holders, and others in..."

04-27657,Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Kentucky: 1-Hour Ozone Maintenance Plan Update for Edmonson Area,Proposed Rule,"Today's action consists of two distinct but related final rulemakings briefly characterized here and further discussed in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of the direct final rule for this action. First, EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Edmonson County portion of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, in draft form, on February 19, 2004, and in final form on August 24, 2004. The August 24, 2004, SIP revision provides the 10-year update to the original 1-hour ozone maintenance plans for three 1-hour ozone maintenance areas, including the Edmonson County Maintenance Area, and also provides revised 2004 motor vehicle emission budgets (MVEBs) and establishes 2015 MVEBs. Through this action, EPA is providing notification of its determination that the Edmonson County portion of the Commonwealth's SIP revision satisfies the requirement of the Clean Air Act (CAA) as amended in 1990 for the 10-year update of the 1-hour ozone maintenance plan for Edmonson County Maintenance Area. Secondly, EPA is providing information on the status of its transportation conformity adequacy determination for the new MVEBs for the year 2015 that are contained in the 10-year update to the 1-hour ozone maintenance plan for the Edmonson County Area. In today's action, EPA is only addressing the portion of the SIP revision for Edmonson County. EPA will take separate action to address the other portions of the SIP revision. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no significant, material, and adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.",2004-12-17,2004,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/12/17/04-27657/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-kentucky-1-hour-ozone-maintenance-plan-update-for,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-12-17/pdf/04-27657.pdf,Environmental Protection Agency,145,"Today's action consists of two distinct but related final rulemakings briefly characterized here and further discussed in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of the direct final rule for this action.
