| 2021-27796 | Clean Air Plans; 2012 Fine Particulate Matter Serious Nonattainment Area Requirements; San Joaquin Valley, California | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or "Agency") proposes to approve portions of two state implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of California to meet Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act") requirements for the 2012 annual fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or "standards") in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) Serious nonattainment area. Specifically, the EPA proposes to approve the State's Serious area plan for the 2012 annual PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS, submitted May 10, 2019, for all Serious PM<INF>2.5</INF> area requirements (except contingency measures), including emissions inventories, best available control measures, demonstrations of attainment and reasonable further progress, quantitative milestones, and motor vehicle emission budgets. We may, however, reconsider this proposal if, based on new information or public comments, we find that the State has not satisfied the statutory criteria for a Serious area PM<INF>2.5</INF> attainment plan. The EPA also proposes to disapprove the portions of the State's Serious area plan, and the contingency provisions of a third SIP submission regarding residential wood burning, that pertain to the Serious area contingency measurement requirements for the 2012 annual PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS. | 2021-12-29 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/29/2021-27796/clean-air-plans-2012-fine-particulate-matter-serious-nonattainment-area-requirements-san-joaquin | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-29/pdf/2021-27796.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or "Agency") proposes to approve portions of two state implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of California to meet Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act") requirements for the 2012 annual fine... |
| 2021-27836 | Additional Protocol Regulations: Mandatory Electronic Submission of Reports Through the Additional Protocol Reporting System (APRS) | Proposed Rule | The Additional Protocol is an agreement between the United States and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to allow monitoring and reporting of certain civil nuclear fuel cycle-related activities. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) administers the Additional Protocol Regulations (APR), which implement the provisions of the Additional Protocol affecting U.S. industry and other U.S. persons engaged in certain civil nuclear fuel cycle-related activities that are not regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), or its domestic Agreement States, and are not situated at certain U.S. government locations. The APR describe the requirement to report such activities to BIS, as well as the conduct of on-site activities in conjunction with IAEA complementary access to locations where such civil nuclear fuel cycle-related activities take place. This rule proposes to amend the APR to replace the existing manual reporting and processing procedures with a mandatory requirement to submit reports and other documents on-line through the Additional Protocol Reporting System (APRS). As a result of this proposed change, all persons and locations in the United States that are subject to the reporting requirements in the APR would be required to register on-line to set up an APRS account, submit reports and other documents to BIS via APRS, and maintain current user account information in APRS. This rule also proposes to amend the APR to clarify and update other requirements (e.g., by removing the provisions that address the Initial Report requirements for calendar year 2008, replacing the provisions that address Amended Report requirements, and revising the definitions of certain terms used in the APR). | 2021-12-29 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/29/2021-27836/additional-protocol-regulations-mandatory-electronic-submission-of-reports-through-the-additional | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-29/pdf/2021-27836.pdf | Commerce Department; Industry and Security Bureau | 54,241 | The Additional Protocol is an agreement between the United States and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to allow monitoring and reporting of certain civil nuclear fuel cycle-related activities.

| 2021-28010 | Schedule of Fees for Consular Services-Nonimmigrant and Special Visa Fees | Proposed Rule | The Department of State (Department) proposes adjustments to the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services (Schedule of Fees) of the Bureau of Consular Affairs (CA) for several nonimmigrant visa (NIV) application processing fees, the Border Crossing Card (BCC) for Mexican citizens age 15 and over, and the waiver of the two-year residency requirement (J-Waiver) fee. The proposed changes are based on the findings of the most recently approved update to the Cost of Service Model (CoSM). They ensure that the fees for providing these consular services better align with the costs of providing the services. | 2021-12-29 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/29/2021-28010/schedule-of-fees-for-consular-services-nonimmigrant-and-special-visa-fees | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-29/pdf/2021-28010.pdf | State Department | 476 | The Department of State (Department) proposes adjustments to the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services (Schedule of Fees) of the Bureau of Consular Affairs (CA) for several nonimmigrant visa (NIV) application processing fees, the Border Crossing Card... |
| 2021-28134 | Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan Engines | Proposed Rule | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-22-05, which applies to all General Electric Company (GE) CF34-8C model turbofan engines. AD 2019-22-05 requires initial and repetitive inspections of the operability bleed valve (OBV) fuel tubes, OBV bleed air manifold link rod assemblies, and the OBV fuel fittings. AD 2019- 22-05 also requires replacement of OBVs or related OBV hardware that fail inspection. Since the FAA issued AD 2019-22-05, the manufacturer has redesigned the OBV, which terminates the need for the repetitive inspections. This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive inspections of the OBV fuel tubes, OBV bleed air manifold link rod assemblies, and the OBV fuel fittings. This proposed AD would also require replacement of OBVs or related OBV hardware that fail inspection. As a terminating action to the repetitive inspections, this proposed AD would require replacement of certain OBVs installed on GE CF34-8C and CF34-8E model turbofan engines. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2021-12-29 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/29/2021-28134/airworthiness-directives-general-electric-company-turbofan-engines | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-29/pdf/2021-28134.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-22-05, which applies to all General Electric Company (GE) CF34-8C model turbofan engines.

| 2021-27512 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Foothill Yellow-Legged Frog; Threatened Status With Section 4(d) Rule for Two Distinct Population Segments and Endangered Status for Two Distinct Population Segments | Proposed Rule | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list four of six distinct population segments (DPSs) of the foothill yellow-legged frog (Rana boylii), a stream dwelling amphibian from Oregon and California, under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended. This determination also serves as our 12-month finding on a petition to list the foothill yellow-legged frog. After a review of the best scientific and commercial information available, we find that listing the South Sierra and South Coast DPSs as endangered and the North Feather and Central Coast DPSs as threatened is warranted. Accordingly, we propose to list these four DPSs under the Act, with the South Sierra and South Coast DPSs listed as endangered species, and the North Feather and Central Coast DPSs listed as threatened species. Our proposal to list the North Feather and Central Coast DPSs as threatened species also includes a rule issued under section 4(d) of the Act for each of these two DPSs. If we finalize this proposed rule for these four DPSs, we will then add them to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and extend the Act's protections to them. We have determined that designation of critical habitat for these four DPSs is not determinable at this time. We have also determined that the North Coast DPS (in Oregon and northern California) and the North Sierra DPS (in Yuba, Sierra, Nevada, and Placer Counties, California) of the foothill yellow-legged frog do not warrant listing at this time. | 2021-12-28 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/28/2021-27512/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-foothill-yellow-legged-frog-threatened-status-with | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-28/pdf/2021-27512.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list four of six distinct population segments (DPSs) of the foothill yellow-legged frog (Rana boylii), a stream dwelling amphibian from Oregon and California, under the Endangered Species Act... |
| 2021-27838 | Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes | Proposed Rule | The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200 and -300 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of three incidents involving in-flight fan blade failures on certain Pratt & Whitney engines ("fan blades" are also known as "1st-stage low-pressure compressor (LPC) blades"--these terms are used interchangeably in this proposed AD). This proposed AD would require installation of debris shields on the thrust reverser (T/R) inner wall at the left and right sides of the lower bifurcation, inspection of the fan cowl doors for moisture ingression, repetitive functional checks of the hydraulic pump shutoff valves to ensure they close in response to the fire handle input, and corrective actions if necessary. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2021-12-28 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/28/2021-27838/airworthiness-directives-the-boeing-company-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-28/pdf/2021-27838.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200 and -300 series airplanes.

| 2021-27840 | Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Division Turbofan Engines | Proposed Rule | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-03-01 and AD 2021-05-51, which apply to certain Pratt & Whitney Division (PW) PW4074, PW4074D, PW4077, PW4077D, PW4084D, PW4090, and PW4090-3 model turbofan engines. AD 2019-03-01 requires performing initial and repetitive thermal acoustic image (TAI) inspections for cracks in certain 1st-stage low-pressure compressor (LPC) blades and removal of those blades that fail inspection. AD 2021-05-51 requires performing a one-time TAI inspection for cracks in certain 1st-stage LPC blades and removal of those blades that fail inspection. Since the FAA issued AD 2019-03-01 and AD 2021-05-51, the manufacturer determined the need to add initial and repetitive ultrasonic testing (UT) inspections of the 1st-stage LPC blades. This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive UT inspections and TAI inspections for cracks in certain 1st-stage LPC blades and removal of those blades that fail inspection. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2021-12-28 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/28/2021-27840/airworthiness-directives-pratt-and-whitney-division-turbofan-engines | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-28/pdf/2021-27840.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-03-01 and AD 2021-05-51, which apply to certain Pratt & Whitney Division (PW) PW4074, PW4074D, PW4077, PW4077D, PW4084D, PW4090, and PW4090-3 model turbofan engines.

| 2021-28117 | Access Authorization Fees | Proposed Rule | The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations to update the access authorization fees charged to NRC licensees for work performed under the Material Access Authorization Program and the Information Access Authority Program. The change in fees is due to an increase in the review time for each application for access authorization. This amendment is prompted by a recent audit of fees performed by an external certified public accounting and financial management services firm and ensures that the NRC continues to recover the full costs of processing access authorization requests from NRC licensees. The proposed rule also would make two administrative changes to revise definitions to include new naming conventions for background investigation case types and to specify the electronic process for completing security forms. | 2021-12-28 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/28/2021-28117/access-authorization-fees | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-28/pdf/2021-28117.pdf | Nuclear Regulatory Commission | 383 | The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations to update the access authorization fees charged to NRC licensees for work performed under the Material Access Authorization Program and the Information Access Authority... |
| 2021-28132 | Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters (Type Certificate Previously Held by Eurocopter France) Helicopters | Proposed Rule | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-11-25, which applies to certain Airbus Helicopters (type certificate previously held by Eurocopter France) Model AS350B3 and EC130T2 helicopters. AD 2021-11-25 requires revising the existing rotorcraft flight manual (RFM) for your helicopter by inserting a new procedure (temporary). Since the FAA issued AD 2021-11-25, the manufacturer has identified an additional affected full authority digital engine control (FADEC) part number and developed an optional modification for the affected FADECs. This proposed AD would require revising the existing RFM for your helicopter by inserting a new procedure (temporary). This proposed AD would also require, for helicopters on which an optional terminating action (installation of serviceable FADECs) is done, removing the applicable temporary procedure from the existing RFM for your helicopter. In addition, this proposed AD would also add helicopters to the applicability. Furthermore, this proposed AD would prohibit the installation of an affected FADEC. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2021-12-28 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/28/2021-28132/airworthiness-directives-airbus-helicopters-type-certificate-previously-held-by-eurocopter-france | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-28/pdf/2021-28132.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-11-25, which applies to certain Airbus Helicopters (type certificate previously held by Eurocopter France) Model AS350B3 and EC130T2 helicopters.

| 2021-27794 | Pacific Island Fisheries; 2022-2025 Annual Catch Limits and Accountablility Measures for Main Hawaiian Islands Uku (Gray Jobfish) | Proposed Rule | NMFS proposes to implement an annual catch limit (ACL) of 295,419 lb (134 metric tons (t)), an annual catch target (ACT) of 291,010 lb (132 t), and accountability measures (AM) for main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) uku for fishing years 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. These ACLs and ACTs apply to the total combined commercial and non-commercial catch of uku. As an in-season accountability measure, if NMFS projects that the total catch will reach the ACT in any given fishing year, we would close commercial and non-commercial uku fisheries in Federal waters for the remainder of the fishing year. As a post-season AM, if NMFS determines that the most recent three-year average total catch exceeded the ACL in a fishing year, we would reduce the ACL and ACT for the following fishing year by the amount of the overage. The proposed rule supports the long-term sustainability of MHI uku. | 2021-12-27 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/27/2021-27794/pacific-island-fisheries-2022-2025-annual-catch-limits-and-accountablility-measures-for-main | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-27/pdf/2021-27794.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS proposes to implement an annual catch limit (ACL) of 295,419 lb (134 metric tons (t)), an annual catch target (ACT) of 291,010 lb (132 t), and accountability measures (AM) for main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) uku for fishing years 2022, 2023, 2024, and... |

| 2021-27516 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Threatened Species Status With Section 4(d) Rule for Cactus Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl | Proposed Rule | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl (Glaucidium brasilianum cactorum), a subspecies found in Mexico, southern Arizona, and southern Texas, as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This determination also serves as our 12-month finding on a petition to list the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl. After a review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that listing the subspecies is warranted. Accordingly, we propose to list the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl as a threatened species with a rule issued under section 4(d) of the Act ("4(d) rule"). If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would add this subspecies to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and extend the Act's protections to the subspecies. The finalization of this rule as proposed would include the issuance of a 4(d) rule. Designation of critical habitat was found to be prudent, but not determinable at this time. We also are notifying the public that we have scheduled an informational meeting followed by a public hearing on the proposed rule. | 2021-12-22 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/22/2021-27516/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-threatened-species-status-with-section-4d-rule-for | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-22/pdf/2021-27516.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl (Glaucidium brasilianum cactorum), a subspecies found in Mexico, southern Arizona, and southern Texas, as a threatened species under the Endangered... |

| 2021-27288 | Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes | Proposed Rule | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-09-09, which applies to certain Airbus Model A318 series airplanes and Model A319 series airplanes; all Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and all Model A321-111, -112, -131, - 211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. AD 2018-09-09 requires modifying the holes of the upper cleat to upper stringer attachments at certain areas of the left-and right-hand wings. Since the FAA issued AD 2018-09-09, additional affected configurations were identified and, for certain airplanes, it was determined that additional modification work and revised compliance times are necessary. This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2018-09-09 and add airplanes, require different compliance times for certain airplane configurations, and, for certain airplanes, require additional modifications or reduce compliance times, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference.

| 2021-27509 | Airworthiness Directives; Viking Air Limited (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier Inc.) Airplanes | Proposed Rule | The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Viking Air Limited (type certificate previously held by Bombardier Inc.) Model DHC-3 airplanes with a certain wing strut assembly installed. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as fatigue damage of the wing struts. This proposed AD would require a bolt hole eddy current inspection of the lug plate holes, a visual and fluorescent dye penetrant inspection of the lug fittings, and a visual and eddy current surface scan inspection of the wing strut assemblies. This unsafe condition could lead to failure of the wing strut, which could result in an in-flight breakup of the wing. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2021-12-21 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/21/2021-27509/airworthiness-directives-viking-air-limited-type-certificate-previously-held-by-bombardier-inc | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-21/pdf/2021-27509.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Viking Air Limited (type certificate previously held by Bombardier Inc.)

| 2021-27117 | Electronic Patent Issuance | Proposed Rule | The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is proposing to implement electronic patent issuance. Under the proposed change, the USPTO would issue patents electronically through its patent document viewing systems (i.e., Patent Center and Patent Application Image Retrieval (PAIR)). Patents would no longer be issued on paper, and as a result, they would no longer be mailed to the correspondence address of record as part of the patent issuance process. The elimination of these steps would allow issued patents to be available weeks sooner in electronic form, and the patentee would be able to view and print the complete issued patent via the USPTO's patent document viewing systems immediately upon issue. Patentees would continue to have the option of ordering an unlimited number of paper presentation copies and certified copies of patents. | 2021-12-15 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/15/2021-27117/electronic-patent-issuance | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-15/pdf/2021-27117.pdf | Commerce Department; Patent and Trademark Office | 54,402 | The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is proposing to implement electronic patent issuance.
