| 2017-28022 | TRICARE; Reimbursement of Long Term Care Hospitals and Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities | Rule | This final rule establishes reimbursement rates for Long Term Care Hospitals (LTCHs) and Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (IRFs) in accordance with the statutory requirement that TRICARE inpatient care "payments shall be determined to the extent practicable in accordance with the same reimbursement rules as apply to payments to providers of services of the same type under Medicare." This final rule adopts Medicare's reimbursement methodologies for inpatient services provided by LTCHs and IRFs. Each reimbursement methodology will be phased in over a 3-year period. This final rule also removes the definitions for "hospital, long-term (tuberculosis, chronic care, or rehabilitation)" and "long-term hospital care," and creates separate definitions for "Long Term Care Hospital" and "Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility" adopting Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) classification criteria. This final rule also includes authority for a year-end, discretionary General Temporary Military Contingency Payment Adjustment (GTMCPA) for inpatient services in TRICARE network IRFs when deemed essential to meet military contingency requirements. | 2017-12-29 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/29/2017-28022/tricare-reimbursement-of-long-term-care-hospitals-and-inpatient-rehabilitation-facilities | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-29/pdf/2017-28022.pdf | Defense Department | 103 | This final rule establishes reimbursement rates for Long Term Care Hospitals (LTCHs) and Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (IRFs) in accordance with the statutory requirement that TRICARE inpatient care "payments shall be determined to the extent... |

| 2017-28158 | Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes | Rule | We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-08-01, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 757 airplanes. AD 2015-08-01 required, depending on airplane configuration, installing new relays and bracket assemblies, inspecting to ensure that the new relays do not contact adjacent wire bundles, torqueing the bracket assembly installation nuts and ground stud nuts, retesting the bond resistance between the bracket assemblies and the terminal lugs on the ground studs, and doing related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This AD does not retain any requirements, and instead requires deactivating the spoiler control module relays and capping and stowing the associated wiring on airplanes on which the actions required by AD 2015-08-01 have been done. This AD was prompted by a report of an uncommanded spoiler movement during flap configuration just before landing, on an airplane on which the actions required by AD 2015-08-01 had been done. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2017-12-29 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/29/2017-28158/airworthiness-directives-the-boeing-company-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-29/pdf/2017-28158.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-08-01, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 757 airplanes.

| 2017-28211 | Oil and Gas; Hydraulic Fracturing on Federal and Indian Lands; Rescission of a 2015 Rule | Rule | On March 26, 2015, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published in the Federal Register a final rule entitled, "Oil and Gas; Hydraulic Fracturing on Federal and Indian Lands" (2015 rule). With this final rule, the BLM is rescinding the 2015 rule because we believe it imposes administrative burdens and compliance costs that are not justified. This final rule returns the affected sections of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to the language that existed immediately before the published effective date of the 2015 rule (June 24, 2015), except for changes to those regulations that were made by other rules published between the date of publication of the 2015 rule and now, and the phrase "perform nonroutine fracturing jobs," which is not restored to the list of subsequent operations requiring prior approval. None of the changes by other rules are relevant to this rulemaking. | 2017-12-29 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/29/2017-28211/oil-and-gas-hydraulic-fracturing-on-federal-and-indian-lands-rescission-of-a-2015-rule | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-29/pdf/2017-28211.pdf | Interior Department; Land Management Bureau | 253,275 | On March 26, 2015, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published in the Federal Register a final rule entitled, "Oil and Gas; Hydraulic Fracturing on Federal and Indian Lands" (2015 rule).

| 2017-28046 | Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Individual Bluefin Quota Program; Accountability for Bluefin Tuna Catch | Rule | NMFS modifies the Atlantic highly migratory species (HMS) regulations to require vessels in the pelagic longline fishery to account for bycatch of bluefin tuna (bluefin) using Individual Bluefin Quota (IBQ) on a quarterly basis instead of on a trip-level basis. Previously, vessel owners had to account for quota debt or IBQ balances less than the minimum required before commencing any fishing trip with pelagic longline gear. With this rulemaking, vessels may fish during a given calendar quarter if they have an IBQ balance below the minimum amount required to depart on a fishing trip or with quota debt incurred by exceeding their IBQ balance; however, vessels are required to reconcile quota debt and satisfy the minimum IBQ requirement prior to departing on their first pelagic longline fishing trip in each calendar quarter. The action optimizes fishing opportunity in the directed pelagic longline fishery for target species such as tuna and swordfish and improves the functionality of the IBQ Program and its accounting provisions, consistent with the objectives of Amendment 7 to the 2006 Consolidated HMS Fishery Management Plan (FMP). | 2017-12-28 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/28/2017-28046/atlantic-highly-migratory-species-individual-bluefin-quota-program-accountability-for-bluefin-tuna | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-28/pdf/2017-28046.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS modifies the Atlantic highly migratory species (HMS) regulations to require vessels in the pelagic longline fishery to account for bycatch of bluefin tuna (bluefin) using Individual Bluefin Quota (IBQ) on a quarterly basis instead of on a... |
| 2017-28047 | Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Reef Fish Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico; Modifications to Greater Amberjack Allowable Harvest and Rebuilding Plan | Rule | NMFS issues regulations to implement management measures described in a framework action to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP), as prepared by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council). This final rule revises the commercial and recreational annual catch limits (ACLs) and annual catch targets (ACTs), and modifies the recreational fixed closed season for greater amberjack in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The purpose of this final rule and the framework action is to adjust the rebuilding time period and to revise the sector ACLs and ACTs consistent with updated stock status information to end overfishing and rebuild the greater amberjack stock in the Gulf. | 2017-12-28 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/28/2017-28047/fisheries-of-the-caribbean-gulf-of-mexico-and-south-atlantic-reef-fish-fishery-of-the-gulf-of-mexico | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-28/pdf/2017-28047.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS issues regulations to implement management measures described in a framework action to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP), as prepared by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council).... |
| 2017-28058 | Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Reef Fish Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico; Amendment 44 | Rule | NMFS announces the approval of Amendment 44 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP) as submitted by the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) Fishery Management Council (Council). Amendment 44 revises minimum stock size thresholds (MSST) for seven stocks in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) reef fish fishery management unit. The MSST is revised for the gag, red grouper, red snapper, vermilion snapper, gray triggerfish, greater amberjack, and hogfish stocks. The need for Amendment 44 is to provide a sufficient buffer between spawning stock biomass at maximum sustainable yield (B<INF>MSY</INF>) and MSST to reduce the likelihood that stock status changes frequently between overfished and not overfished as a result of scientific uncertainty or natural fluctuations in biomass levels. | 2017-12-28 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/28/2017-28058/fisheries-of-the-caribbean-gulf-of-mexico-and-south-atlantic-reef-fish-fishery-of-the-gulf-of-mexico | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-28/pdf/2017-28058.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS announces the approval of Amendment 44 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP) as submitted by the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) Fishery Management Council (Council).

| 2017-27897 | Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z) Adjustment to Asset-Size Exemption Threshold | Rule | The Bureau is amending the official commentary that interprets the requirements of the Bureau's Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) to reflect a change in the asset-size threshold for certain creditors to qualify for an exemption to the requirement to establish an escrow account for a higher-priced mortgage loan based on the annual percentage change in the average of the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) for the 12-month period ending in November. The exemption threshold is adjusted to increase to $2.112 billion from $2.069 billion. The adjustment is based on the 2.1 percent increase in the average of the CPI-W for the 12-month period ending in November 2017.

The adjustment to the escrows asset- size exemption threshold will also increase a similar threshold for small-creditor portfolio and balloon-payment qualified mortgages. Balloon-payment qualified mortgages that satisfy all applicable criteria, including being made by creditors that have (together with certain affiliates) total assets below the threshold, are also excepted from the prohibition on balloon payments for high-cost mortgages. | 2017-12-27 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/27/2017-27897/truth-in-lending-act-regulation-z-adjustment-to-asset-size-exemption-threshold | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-27/pdf/2017-27897.pdf | Consumer Financial Protection Bureau | 573 | The Bureau is amending the official commentary that interprets the requirements of the Bureau's Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) to reflect a change in the asset-size threshold for certain creditors to qualify for an exemption to the requirement to... |

| 2017-27491 | Home Mortgage Disclosure | Rule | The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is repealing its Regulation C, which was issued to implement the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws, including HMDA, from the Board to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau). HMDA requires covered financial institutions to collect and report loan data in connection with residential mortgage applications and loans. Although the Board retains authority to issue some consumer financial protection rules, all rulemaking authority under HMDA concerning mortgage loan transactions was transferred to the Bureau. In December 2011, the Bureau published an interim final rule establishing its own Regulation C to implement HMDA, which superseded the Board's Regulation C. In October 2015, the Bureau revised its own Regulation C to expand and revise the data collection and reporting regime required under HMDA, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act. In April 2016, the Bureau published a final rule adopting the December 2011 interim final rule, as revised by the October 2015 final rule. Accordingly, the Board is repealing its Regulation C and the Official Staff Commentary that accompanies the regulation. | 2017-12-22 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/22/2017-27491/home-mortgage-disclosure | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-22/pdf/2017-27491.pdf | Federal Reserve System | 188 | The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is repealing its Regulation C, which was issued to implement the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA).

| 2017-27169 | Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes | Rule | We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 757-200 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report indicating that the main cargo door (MCD) forward-most cam latch on the forward center cam latch pair broke during flight. This AD requires repetitive inspections for discrepancies of cam latches, latch pins, and latch pin cross bolts of the MCD; replacement of all alloy steel latch pin cross bolts with corrosion-resistant steel (CRES) latch pin cross bolts of the MCD; and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2017-12-20 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/20/2017-27169/airworthiness-directives-the-boeing-company-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-20/pdf/2017-27169.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 757-200 series airplanes.

| 2017-27202 | Change to Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast Services | Rule | This action announces changes in ADS-B services, including Traffic Information Service--Broadcast (TIS-B), for a small number of aircraft. The FAA is implementing a filter for certain ADS-B equipped aircraft broadcasting erroneous or improper information when the broadcast information could affect the safe provision of air traffic services. Any aircraft subject to the filter will not have its ADS-B information sent to an air traffic control (ATC) facility nor will the aircraft be a client for TIS-B services. Affected aircraft will continue to receive ATC services within radar coverage using secondary radar information. | 2017-12-20 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/20/2017-27202/change-to-automatic-dependent-surveillance-broadcast-services | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-20/pdf/2017-27202.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This action announces changes in ADS-B services, including Traffic Information Service--Broadcast (TIS-B), for a small number of aircraft.

| 2017-27263 | Airworthiness Directives; Agusta S.p.A. Helicopters | Rule | We are superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 2011-27-08 for Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) Model A109S and AW109SP helicopters. AD 2011-27- 08 required repetitively inspecting each elevator assembly for a crack. This new AD retains the initial inspection interval and adds a repetitive borescope inspection. This AD is prompted by the discovery of another crack on an elevator assembly since AD 2011-27-08 was issued. The actions of this AD are intended to prevent an unsafe condition on these helicopters. | 2017-12-20 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/20/2017-27263/airworthiness-directives-agusta-spa-helicopters | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-20/pdf/2017-27263.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We are superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 2011-27-08 for Agusta S.p.A.

| 2017-27274 | Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters (Previously Eurocopter France) | Rule | We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2009-25-07 for Airbus Helicopters Model EC120B helicopters. AD 2009-25-07 required amending the rotorcraft flight manual supplement (RFMS) and pre-flight checking the emergency flotation gear before each flight over water. Since we issued AD 2009-25-07, Airbus Helicopters developed a terminating action and identified an additional part- numbered emergency floatation gear part with the unsafe condition. This new AD retains the requirements of AD 2009-25-07, expands the applicability, and adds a terminating action for the repetitive inspections. The actions of this AD are intended to correct an unsafe condition on these helicopters. | 2017-12-20 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/20/2017-27274/airworthiness-directives-airbus-helicopters-previously-eurocopter-france | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-20/pdf/2017-27274.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2009-25-07 for Airbus Helicopters Model EC120B helicopters.

| 2017-27311 | Hours of Service; Electronic Logging Devices; Limited 90-Day Waiver for the Transportation of Agricultural Commodities | Rule | FMCSA grants a limited 90-day waiver from the Federal hours- of-service (HOS) regulations pertaining to electronic logging devices (ELDs) for the transportation of agricultural commodities as defined in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). The Agency takes this action in response to a waiver request from the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) on behalf of eight organizations representing transporters of livestock and other agricultural commodities, as defined in the FMCSRs. The Agency has determined that the waiver is in the public interest and would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such exemption, based on the terms and conditions imposed. The waiver will also through notice and public comment, provide FMCSA with time to consider certain exemption applications from segments of the agricultural industry concerning the use of ELDs to document drivers' hours of service and clarify applicability of the requirements and the need for certain carriers to begin using ELDs by the December 18, 2017, deadline. | 2017-12-20 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/20/2017-27311/hours-of-service-electronic-logging-devices-limited-90-day-waiver-for-the-transportation-of | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-20/pdf/2017-27311.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | FMCSA grants a limited 90-day waiver from the Federal hours- of-service (HOS) regulations pertaining to electronic logging devices (ELDs) for the transportation of agricultural commodities as defined in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations... |
