| 2024-30509 | Broker and Freight Forwarder Financial Responsibility; Extension of Compliance Date | Rule | FMCSA amends its November 16, 2023, final rule, "Broker and Freight Forwarder Financial Responsibility," by extending the compliance date for certain provisions from January 16, 2025, to January 16, 2026. FMCSA is taking this action because the Agency determined that only its forthcoming online registration system will be used to accept filings and track notifications, and this functionality will not be added to its legacy systems. As the online registration system is not expected to be available before January 16, 2025, FMCSA extends the compliance date to provide regulated entities time to begin using and familiarizing themselves with the system before compliance is required. | 2024-12-31 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/31/2024-30509/broker-and-freight-forwarder-financial-responsibility-extension-of-compliance-date | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-31/pdf/2024-30509.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | FMCSA amends its November 16, 2023, final rule, "Broker and Freight Forwarder Financial Responsibility," by extending the compliance date for certain provisions from January 16, 2025, to January 16, 2026.

| 2024-31384 | Payment of Indemnity and Compensation for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza | Rule | We are amending the regulations pertaining to conditions for payment of indemnity for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Specifically, we are requiring commercial poultry premises to successfully pass a biosecurity audit prior to restocking if they were previously HPAI-infected and wish to be eligible for indemnity for the restocked poultry. We are also requiring a biosecurity audit for commercial poultry premises in the buffer zone prior to movement of poultry onto the premises, if the premises wishes to be eligible for indemnity for the poultry moved onto the premises. We are also revising the regulations to preclude indemnity payments for poultry moved onto premises in infected zones if the poultry become infected with HPAI within 14 days following the dissolution of the control area in which the infected zone is located. This action is necessary on an immediate basis in order to ensure that commercial poultry producers who receive indemnity payments for HPAI are taking measures to preclude the introduction and spread of HPAI, and avoiding actions that contribute to its spread. This action amends the regulations to condition indemnity for HPAI accordingly. | 2024-12-31 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/31/2024-31384/payment-of-indemnity-and-compensation-for-highly-pathogenic-avian-influenza | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-31/pdf/2024-31384.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | 12,22 | We are amending the regulations pertaining to conditions for payment of indemnity for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).

| 2024-31188 | Extension of the Prohibition Against Certain Flights in Specified Areas of the Sanaa Flight Information Region (FIR) (OYSC) | Rule | This action extends the prohibition against certain flight operations in specified areas of the Sanaa Flight Information Region (FIR) (OYSC) by all: U.S. air carriers; U.S. commercial operators; persons exercising the privileges of an airman certificate issued by the FAA, except when such persons are operating U.S.-registered aircraft for a foreign air carrier; and operators of U.S.-registered civil aircraft, except when the operator of such aircraft is a foreign air carrier, for an additional three years, from January 7, 2025, until January 7, 2028. The FAA finds this action necessary to address significant, unacceptable safety-of-flight risks to U.S. civil aviation operations in the specified areas of the Sanaa FIR (OYSC) stemming from heightened regional tensions associated with Houthi weapons employment and operational activities. Most recently, Houthi forces have engaged in increased weapons employment and operational activities related to the Israel-Gaza Conflict, leading in some cases to air defense responses. The FAA also takes into account the Houthis' recent history of having conducted long-range attacks emanating from the Sanaa FIR (OYSC) in other directions, notably against Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2022. The FAA also republishes the approval process and exemption information for this Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR), consistent with other recently published flight prohibition SFARs. | 2024-12-30 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/30/2024-31188/extension-of-the-prohibition-against-certain-flights-in-specified-areas-of-the-sanaa-flight | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-30/pdf/2024-31188.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This action extends the prohibition against certain flight operations in specified areas of the Sanaa Flight Information Region (FIR) (OYSC) by all: U.S. air carriers; U.S. commercial operators; persons exercising the privileges of an airman... |

| 2024-30535 | Partial Approval, Partial Disapproval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated Facilities and Pollutants; Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency; Control of Emissions From Existing Large Municipal Waste Combustors | Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to partially approve and partially disapprove a July 18, 2022, Clean Air Act (CAA) State Plan submitted by the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency (SRCAA) to establish emission limits for existing large municipal waste combustors (MWC) and to provide for the implementation and enforcement of these limits. SRCAA submitted this State Plan to fulfill its requirements under the CAA in response to the EPA's May 10, 2006, promulgation of Emissions Guidelines and Compliance Times for Large MWC Constructed on or before September 20, 1994 (Emission Guidelines). The EPA is partially approving the State Plan because it meets the requirements of the Emission Guidelines for existing large MWC known to operate in Spokane County, Washington. The EPA is partially disapproving the State Plan because it omits requirements for fluidized bed combustors and air curtain incinerators, which are required elements of a State Plan.

The EPA's approval of the SIP revisions includes removal of the substantially inadequate provision which corrects the EFSEC deficiency identified in the 2015 SSM SIP call and the EPA's January 2022 finding of failure to submit. Washington withdrew some portions of the revisions submitted that were not identified in the 2015 SSM SIP call and therefore the EPA is not approving those withdrawn portions. | 2024-12-27 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/27/2024-30536/air-plan-approval-wa-excess-emissions-startup-shutdown-and-malfunction-revisions-energy-facility | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-27/pdf/2024-30536.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving Washington State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions to the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) air quality regulations submitted by the State of Washington, through the Department of... |

| 2024-30939 | Removal of Check Pilot Medical Certificate Requirement; Correction | Rule | On June 18, 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a final rule titled "Removal of Check Pilot Medical Certificate Requirement," which was corrected on July 16, 2024. That final rule removed inconsistencies applicable to the qualification requirements for check pilots and flight instructors in domestic, flag, and supplemental operations and flight instructors in commuter and on demand operations so that check pilots, check flight engineers, and flight instructors can continue to perform their functions in aircraft without a medical certificate unless they are serving as required flightcrew members. It also removed the medical certificate requirement for flight instructors in commuter and on-demand operations who perform their functions in aircraft and are not serving as required flightcrew members. The final rule inadvertently failed to revise two section headings. This document makes those corrections. | 2024-12-27 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/27/2024-30939/removal-of-check-pilot-medical-certificate-requirement-correction | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-27/pdf/2024-30939.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | On June 18, 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a final rule titled "Removal of Check Pilot Medical Certificate Requirement," which was corrected on July 16, 2024.

| 2024-30274 | Energy Conservation Program: Commercial Warm Air Furnaces; Notification of Tentative Determination and Request for Comment | Rule | On June 2, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE" or the "Department") published a test procedure final rule which established test procedures for commercial warm air furnaces ("CWAFs"). The Air- Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute ("AHRI") filed a petition for review of the final rule in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit on August 1, 2023. In a February 6, 2024, order, the Fourth Circuit granted a voluntary remand of the final rule to the Department of Energy ("DOE") to determine whether establishment of the test procedure for the thermal efficiency two ("TE2") metric is supported by the specific provisions applicable to CWAFs under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act ("EPCA"). More specifically, DOE agreed in this voluntary remand to only establish the TE2 test procedure if the Department makes a determination that the TE2 test procedure is consistent with the amended industry test procedure, or a determination, supported by clear and convincing evidence, that the amended industry test procedure fails to satisfy the statutory requirements. This document provides DOE's tentative determination that the amended industry test procedure fails to satisfy EPCA's statutory requirements and requests comment on this topic. | 2024-12-26 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/26/2024-30274/energy-conservation-program-commercial-warm-air-furnaces-notification-of-tentative-determination-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-26/pdf/2024-30274.pdf | Energy Department | 136 | On June 2, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE" or the "Department") published a test procedure final rule which established test procedures for commercial warm air furnaces ("CWAFs").

This determination is based on a proposed approval, published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, of MDAQMD Rule 1157, which regulates this source category. The effect of this interim final determination is that the imposition of sanctions that were triggered by a previous limited disapproval by the EPA in 2023 is now deferred. If the EPA finalizes its approval of MDAQMD's submission, relief from these sanctions will become permanent. | 2024-12-26 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/26/2024-30409/determination-to-defer-sanctions-california-mojave-desert-air-quality-management-district | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-26/pdf/2024-30409.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making an interim final determination that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has submitted a rule and other materials on behalf of the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD) that... |

| 2024-30449 | Succession Planning | Rule | The NCUA Board (Board) is issuing this final rule to further strengthen succession planning efforts for all consumer federally insured credit unions (FICUs). This final rule requires that a FICU board of directors establish a written succession plan that addresses specified positions and contains certain information. In addition, the board of directors is required to regularly review the succession plan. The final rule also requires that newly appointed members of the board of directors have a working familiarity with the succession plan no later than six months after appointment. The final rule follows publication of a July 25, 2024, proposed rule and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule. In response to comments, the Board has amended the proposal to provide that a credit union board must review its succession plan no less than every 24 months, as opposed to the annual review that would have been required under the proposed rule. The Board has also revised the proposed rule by removing loan officers, credit committee members, and supervisory committee members from the list of FICU officials that must be covered by the succession plans. In addition, non-substantive changes have been made to the wording used in the list of covered officials for purposes of clarity. The final rule also streamlines the required contents of the succession plans and no longer requires that deviations from approved succession plans be documented in the FICU board's meeting minutes. Further, to help ensure that FICUs have the necessary time to develop their succession plans, the Board is delaying the effective date of the final rule until January 1, 2026. | 2024-12-26 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/26/2024-30449/succession-planning | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-26/pdf/2024-30449.pdf | National Credit Union Administration | 335 | The NCUA Board (Board) is issuing this final rule to further strengthen succession planning efforts for all consumer federally insured credit unions (FICUs).
