Presidential Determination on the Revocation of Presidential Determinations Related to Lebanon

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2026-12-09, which applies to all Airbus Helicopters Model AS350B, AS350BA, AS350B1, and AS350D helicopters. AD 2026-12-09 requires revising the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the existing maintenance manual (MM) or instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) and the existing approved maintenance or inspection program, as applicable. Since the FAA issued AD 2026-12-09, a determination was made that new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations and maintenance tasks are necessary. This proposed AD would require incorporating these airworthiness limitations into the ALS of the existing MM or ICA and the existing approved maintenance or inspection program, as applicable. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Sunshine Act Meetings

Airworthiness Directives; DG Aviation GmbH (Type Certificate Previously Held by DG Flugzeugbau GmbH) Gliders

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-13-08, which applies to all DG Aviation GmbH Model DG-1000T gliders. AD 2025-13-08 requires revising the glider flight manual and installing "Motor INOP" placards to prohibit operation with the powerplant. Since issuance of AD 2025-13-08, a design improvement to the propeller adapter ring has been developed that is considered terminating action for the operational prohibition of AD 2025-13-08. This proposed AD would retain the requirement to revise the flight manual, would provide an optional terminating action for the retained actions by incorporating a specified modification, would allow removal of the "Motor INOP" placards following accomplishment of that optional terminating action, and would require removal, inspection, and reinstallation of the propeller adapter disk, including installation of safety pins. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of affected propeller adapter rings. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Overpressure Blast Effects Analysis Burden Reducing Clarification

FAA proposes to amend its commercial space launch and reentry licensing regulations to streamline the licensing process and reduce regulatory burden for license applicants. Specifically, FAA proposes to amend the regulations to state that a far-field overpressure blast effects analysis required for license applicants does not need to account for members of the public in hypothetical locations.

Lightning Hazard Mitigation Burden-Reducing Exception

FAA proposes to amend its commercial space launch and reentry licensing regulations to streamline the licensing process and reduce regulatory burden for license applicants. Specifically, FAA proposes to add an exception for compliance with lightning hazard mitigation requirements for certain licensed launch and reentry operations.

Streamlining Flight Safety Analysis Methodology Means of Compliance

FAA proposes to amend its commercial space launch and reentry licensing regulations to streamline the licensing process. Specifically, FAA proposes to alleviate regulatory burden for license applicants by consolidating information required for an operator's flight safety analysis.

Digital Modernization for Licensing Electronic Application Submissions

FAA proposes to amend its commercial space launch and reentry licensing regulations to allow for submission of license and permit applications and requests for waivers, alternative time frames, and safety element approvals through additional electronic methods.

Simplifying Physical Containment Requirements

FAA proposes to amend its commercial space launch and reentry licensing regulations to streamline the licensing process and reduce regulatory burden on operators. Specifically, FAA proposes to relieve the burden by specifying that, when using physical containment as a hazard control strategy, operators do not need to develop flight hazard areas in accordance with FAA's existing flight hazard area analysis requirements.

Advisory Council on Alzheimer's Research, Care, and Services; Meeting

This notice announces the public meeting of the Advisory Council on Alzheimer's Research, Care, and Services (Advisory Council) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Summit. The Advisory Council provides advice on how to prevent or reduce the burden of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias on people living with the disease and their caregivers. During the Summit, attendees will hear updates on the coordinated national response to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, including panel presentations on care, services, and supports, as well as research, innovation, and prevention. During the fourth and final Advisory Council meeting of 2026, the Advisory Council will hear from a panel organized by the clinical care subcommittee, receive budget updates from the National Institutes of Health, and hear a presentation on innovation in Alzheimer's disease interventions using focused ultrasound technology.
