The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a temporary safety zone for a certain navigable water of Massachusetts Bay, 22 miles northeast of Boston, MA. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the maritime public from potential hazards created by subsea demolition operations. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from entering the safety zone unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Boston or a designated representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-07-03, which applies to certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) (type certificate currently held by Textron Aviation, Inc.) (Textron) Model 402C and 414A airplanes. Since the FAA issued AD 2015-07-03, there have been additional reports of cracking and multi-site cracking in areas of engine beams that are difficult to access. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the engine beam for cracks and applicable on-condition actions. This proposed AD would also add a new life-limit to affected engine beams and require replacement when engine beams reach this life-limit. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

MARAD proposes to revise its regulations governing the filing of applications and administration of Capital Construction Fund (CCF) Program accounts. The proposed rule would (i) conform the regulations to recent statutory amendments extending CCF Program application to all U.S. built vessels engaged in United States domestic or foreign commerce, (ii) eliminate limitations on CCF Program availability to certain geographic trades, (iii) clarify the maximum allowable completion time for reconstruction projects, and (iv) provide for funds to be used for acquisitions under certain circumstances. In addition, the NPRM proposes a mechanism to terminate inactive accounts, accounts with a zero balance, and accounts where a CCF Program objective has failed to commence within a 10-year period. The proposed rule would also correct numerous citations, modernize text, update agency contact information, and remove obsolete references.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) is issuing a direct final rule that substitutes references to "animal" tests or studies with "nonclinical" tests or studies, adds a definition of the terms "nonclinical test" and "nonclinical study," and makes other comparable or conforming amendments in certain safety and reporting sections of its regulations. The direct final rule also substitutes "nonclinical" for "preclinical" and "in vitro" for consistency in terminology. The Agency is issuing these amendments directly as a final rule because we believe they are noncontroversial changes in terminology that are not expected to affect industry practice and FDA anticipates no significant adverse comments. These amendments align with recent amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) and are intended to remove an emphasis, in certain places, on the use of animal testing as the only scientific methodology to assess the safety of a drug in the nonclinical setting. These changes may also foster the development and use of scientifically valid new testing methodologies, potentially improving predictive accuracy of product safety testing while replacing, reducing, or refining animal use. The rule adds no new requirements.
