| 04-28707 | Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model ERJ 170 Series Airplanes | Rule | The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all EMBRAER Model ERJ 170 series airplanes. This AD requires revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to include certain operational instructions and prohibit dispatch of any flight with the integrated electronic standby system (IESS) inoperative, even though it is allowed by the current version of the Master Minimum Equipment List; and performing a test to determine proper operation of the network interface card (NIC) communications and repairing if necessary. This AD also requires installing a certain software version of the PRIMUS EPIC system, after which the AFM revision must be removed from the AFM. This AD is prompted by reports of temporary loss of all cockpit display units (DU). We are issuing this AD to prevent temporary or possible sustained loss of all modular avionics units (MAU), which triggers a cascade of failures in systems dependent on MAUs functionalities. Such failures could reduce the flightcrew's situational awareness and increase workload and consequently reduce the ability of the flightcrew to maintain the safe flight and landing of the airplane. | 2004-12-30 | 2004 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/12/30/04-28707/airworthiness-directives-empresa-brasileira-de-aeronautica-sa-embraer-model-erj-170-series-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-12-30/pdf/04-28707.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all EMBRAER Model ERJ 170 series airplanes.

| 04-28144 | Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc RB211 Series Turbofan Engines | Rule | The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce plc (RR) models RB211-535E4-37, RB211-535E4-B-37, RB211-535C-37, RB211-535E4-B-75, and RB211-22B-02 turbofan engines. That AD currently requires inspecting certain high pressure (HP) turbine discs, manufactured between 1989 and 1999, for cracks in the rim cooling air holes, and, if necessary, replacing the disc's serviceable parts. This AD requires the same actions but at reduced compliance schedules and adds the RR model RB211-535E4-C turbofan engine to the applicability. This AD results from a report of cracks in a model RB211-524 HP turbine disc that had propagated further than expected. We are issuing this AD to prevent possible disc failure, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane. | 2004-12-29 | 2004 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/12/29/04-28144/airworthiness-directives-rolls-royce-plc-rb211-series-turbofan-engines | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-12-29/pdf/04-28144.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce plc (RR) models RB211-535E4-37, RB211-535E4-B-37, RB211-535C-37, RB211-535E4-B-75, and RB211-22B-02 turbofan engines.

| 04-28437 | Cardiovascular and Neurological Devices; Reclassification of Two Embolization Devices | Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule to reclassify two embolization device types from class III (premarket approval) into class II (special controls). The agency is also changing the names and revising the identifications of these devices. The vascular embolization device (previously the arterial embolization device) is intended to control hemorrhaging due to aneurysms, certain types of tumors, and arteriovenous malformations. The neurovascular embolization device (previously the artificial embolization device) is intended to permanently occlude blood flow to cerebral aneurysms and cerebral arteriovenous malformations. FDA is reclassifying these devices on its own initiative on the basis of new information. FDA is taking this action under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act), as amended by the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 (the 1976 amendments), the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997, and the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002.

| 04-28459 | Biological Products; Bacterial Vaccines and Toxoids; Implementation of Efficacy Review; Withdrawal | Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published in the Federal Register of January 5, 2004 (69 FR 255), a final rule and final order (January 2004 final rule and final order) amending the biologics regulations in response to the report and recommendations of the Panel on Review of Bacterial Vaccines and Toxoids with Standards of Potency. On January 8, 2004 (69 FR 1320), a correction document was published to correct the effective date from "January 4, 2003", to "January 4, 2005." On February 13, 2004 (69 FR 7114), FDA issued a correction document to correct typographical errors in the reference section of the January 2004 final rule and final order. On October 27, 2004, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (the Court) issued a memorandum opinion vacating and remanding the January 2004 final rule and final order to FDA for reconsideration, following an appropriate notice and comment period. Because the January 2004 final rule and final order were vacated by the Court, FDA is withdrawing the January 2004 final rule and final order. In a proposed rule and proposed order published concurrently with this document, FDA is providing notice and an opportunity to comment on the Bacterial Vaccine and Toxoids efficacy review. | 2004-12-29 | 2004 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/12/29/04-28459/biological-products-bacterial-vaccines-and-toxoids-implementation-of-efficacy-review-withdrawal | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-12-29/pdf/04-28459.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published in the Federal Register of January 5, 2004 (69 FR 255), a final rule and final order (January 2004 final rule and final order) amending the biologics regulations in response to the report and... |

| 04-28531 | Review of the Section 251 Unbundling Obligations of Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers; Implementation of the Local Competition Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996; Deployment of Wireline Services Offering Advanced Telecommunications Capability | Rule | In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) modifies certain of the unbundling obligations associated with fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) architectures pursuant to section 251 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (1996 Act). Specifically, the Commission concludes that FTTC loops will be subject to the same, limited unbundling obligations governing fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) loops. The Commission further clarifies that incumbent LECs need not build time division multiplexing (TDM) capability into new packet-based networks or into existing packet-based networks that never had TDM capability. In addition, the Order also clarifies that where an incumbent LEC has deployed new FTTH or FTTC loops using packet-based equipment, and they nevertheless need to hand off a signal to some customers in TDM format in order to be compatible with an end user's customer premises equipment, this "TDM handoff" does not change the scope of unbundling relief. | 2004-12-29 | 2004 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/12/29/04-28531/review-of-the-section-251-unbundling-obligations-of-incumbent-local-exchange-carriers-implementation | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-12-29/pdf/04-28531.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) modifies certain of the unbundling obligations associated with fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) architectures pursuant to section 251 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (1996 Act).... |
| 04-28538 | Implementation of the Understandings Reached at the June 2004 Australia Group (AG) Plenary Meeting and Through a Subsequent AG Intersessional Decision; Clarifications to the Scope of ECCNs 1A004, 1A995, and 2B351; Corrections to Country Group D and ECCNs 1C355, 1C395, and 1C995; Additions to the List of States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention | Rule | The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is publishing this final rule to amend the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the understandings reached at the June 2004 plenary meeting of the Australia Group (AG) and through a subsequent AG intersessional decision. Specifically, this final rule amends the EAR by adding three new bacteria and two new viruses to the list of AG-controlled plant pathogens described on the Commerce Control List (CCL). In addition, this rule amends the EAR to indicate that certain medical products identified on the CCL, which contain AG-controlled conotoxins, no longer require a license for chemical/biological (CB) reasons. The AG- related licensing policies in the EAR are amended by adding a new criterion to the list of factors that BIS will consider when determining what action should be taken on license applications for AG- listed items. This rule also amends the EAR to reflect the addition of five new member countries to the Australia Group. This rule corrects an inadvertent omission from a previous AG plenary rule (published on May 31, 2002) by removing Bulgaria from the EAR list of countries of concern for chemical and biological reasons. This rule also amends the EAR to implement an AG intersessional decision, which was adopted after the June 2004 AG plenary meeting, by adding nine precursor chemicals to the list of AG-controlled precursor chemicals described on the CCL. In addition to the amendments to the EAR resulting from the AG understandings described above, this rule amends the EAR by revising a CCL entry containing protective and detection equipment identified on the Wassenaar Arrangement dual-use list to indicate that chemical/ biological (CB) controls in the EAR apply to certain chemical detection systems and dedicated detectors therefor, described in that entry, because such systems and detectors also are included on the AG "Control List of Dual-Use Chemical Manufacturing Facilities and Equipment and Related Technology."

| 04-27817 | Promoting Efficient Use of Spectrum Through Elimination of Barriers to the Development of Secondary Markets | Rule | In this document, the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") adopts final rules that take additional steps to facilitate the development of more robust secondary markets in radio spectrum usage rights. In particular, the Commission builds upon the policies adopted in 2003 to facilitate the ability of licensees in our Wireless Radio Services that hold "exclusive" authority to lease some or all of their spectrum usage rights to third parties and to streamline approval procedures for license assignments and transfers of control in these Wireless Radio Services. First, the Commission adopts immediate processing procedures for certain classes of spectrum leasing arrangements and license transfers and assignments that do not raise potential public interest concerns. In addition, the Commission extends the spectrum leasing policies to additional services. The Commission also adopts a new regulatory concept, the "private commons." Finally, the Commission addresses several petitions for reconsideration, and revises and further clarifies the Commission's spectrum leasing policies and rules. | 2004-12-27 | 2004 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/12/27/04-27817/promoting-efficient-use-of-spectrum-through-elimination-of-barriers-to-the-development-of-secondary | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-12-27/pdf/04-27817.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | In this document, the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") adopts final rules that take additional steps to facilitate the development of more robust secondary markets in radio spectrum usage rights.

| 04-27739 | Interpretive Release No. 2004-02-Unitary Filing of Suspicious Activity and Blocking Reports | Rule | This FinCEN interpretive guidance clarifies that reports filed with the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of blocked transactions with Specially Designated Global Terrorists, Specially Designated Terrorists, Foreign Terrorist Organizations, Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker Kingpins, and Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers will be deemed by FinCEN to fulfill the requirement to file suspicious activity reports on such transactions for purposes of FinCEN's suspicious activity reporting rules. However, the filing of a blocking report with OFAC will not be deemed to satisfy a financial institution's obligation to file a suspicious activity report if the transactions would be reportable under FinCEN's suspicious activity reporting rules even if there were no OFAC match. Moreover, to the extent that the financial institution is in possession of information not included on the blocking report filed with OFAC, a separate suspicious activity report should be filed with FinCEN including that information. | 2004-12-23 | 2004 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/12/23/04-27739/interpretive-release-no-2004-02-unitary-filing-of-suspicious-activity-and-blocking-reports | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-12-23/pdf/04-27739.pdf | Treasury Department; Financial Crimes Enforcement Network | 497,194 | This FinCEN interpretive guidance clarifies that reports filed with the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of blocked transactions with Specially Designated Global Terrorists, Specially Designated Terrorists, Foreign... |

| 04-28085 | Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Platform Lifts for Motor Vehicles, Platform Lift Installations in Motor Vehicles | Rule | This document delays the compliance dates of Federal motor vehicle safety standards for platform lifts and vehicles equipped with platform lifts. In December 2002, NHTSA published a final rule that established Federal motor vehicle safety standards for platform lifts and vehicles equipped with platform lifts. In October 2004, the agency published an amendment to these standards in response to petitions for reconsideration of the December 2002 final rule. Since that time, the agency has received several telephone calls on the inability of vehicle manufacturers to comply with the vehicle standards by the compliance date. We are also aware of some confusion within the industry as to the applicability of the standards. Additionally, in response to the October 2004 final rule, we received several petitions for reconsideration. As established in the December 2002 final rule, the standards are to become effective December 27, 2004. This notice delays the compliance date for the platform lift standard for a period of three months and the vehicle standard for a period of six months. The delay in compliance dates will prevent a gap between the cessation of production of vehicles with pre- standard lifts and the beginning of production of vehicles with post- standard (compliant) lifts. The delay will also allow the agency to address issues of applicability in advance of the compliance dates. | 2004-12-23 | 2004 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/12/23/04-28085/federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standards-platform-lifts-for-motor-vehicles-platform-lift-installations | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-12-23/pdf/04-28085.pdf | Transportation Department; National Highway Traffic Safety Administration | 492,345 | This document delays the compliance dates of Federal motor vehicle safety standards for platform lifts and vehicles equipped with platform lifts.

| 04-28089 | Land Disposal Restrictions: Site-Specific Treatment Standard Variance for Selenium Waste for Chemical Waste Management, Chemical Services, LLC | Rule | On November 19, 2004, the Environmental Protection Agency published a direct final rule to grant a site-specific treatment standard variance from the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) treatment standards to Chemical Waste Management, Chemical Services LLC (CWM) in Model City, New York. EPA also published an accompanying proposed rule to supplant this rule in the event EPA received any adverse comment on the direct final rule. This variance is for a selenium-bearing hazardous waste generated by Guardian Industries Corp. (Guardian), a glass manufacturing company. EPA has received a comment on this treatment variance that it deems adverse, and is withdrawing the direct final rule. Therefore, this site-specific treatment standard variance will not take effect on January 3, 2005 and CWM cannot treat the Guardian waste under a treatment standard variance. EPA will review and address all the comments received on this variance and will decide what action to take in a future Federal Register document.
