This proposed AD would require, for certain airplanes, replacement of certain fire panels, and for certain other airplanes, a general visual inspection of certain fire panels, and applicable on- condition actions. This proposed AD would also limit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions. - **Comments close** 19 October 2026 (in 45 days) 91 FR 56601 · FR Doc. 2026-18072 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-03/pdf/2026-18072.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/03/2026-18072/airworthiness-directives-airbus-sas-airplanes) ### Petition for Exemption; Summary of Petition Received; Aviation Technician Education Council *Notice* — Transportation Department · Federal Aviation Administration This notice contains a summary of a petition seeking relief from specified requirements of Federal Aviation Regulations.

AD 2025-08-06 requires repetitively inspecting for a gap between the main gearbox (MGB) oil cooling fan assembly rotor blade and the upper section of the guide vane bearing housing, replacing the MGB fan rotor bearings with serviceable bearings if necessary, and at a later compliance time replacing the MGB fan rotor bearing assembly with an improved MGB fan rotor bearing assembly, which constitutes terminating action for the repetitive inspections. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-08-06, the FAA has determined that the compliance time for installing the improved MGB fan rotor bearing assembly should be extended. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2025-08-06 and would increase the compliance time for installing the improved MGB fan rotor bearing assembly. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing any MGB fan rotor bearings and any MGB fan rotor bearing assembly, unless certain requirements are met. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. - **Comments close** 16 October 2026 (in 42 days) 91 FR 56081 · FR Doc. 2026-17840 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-01/pdf/2026-17840.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/01/2026-17840/airworthiness-directives-airbus-helicopters) ### Petition for Approval of Test Program; Extension of Comment Period *Notice* — Transportation Department · Federal Railroad Administration This document extends the period for public comment regarding the Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) request for FRA approval of a test program related to a locomotive control system, and the temporary suspension of certain FRA safety regulations in connection with that program. - **Comments close** 30 September 2026 (in 26 days) 91 FR 56280 · FR Doc. 2026-17778 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-01/pdf/2026-17778.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/01/2026-17778/petition-for-approval-of-test-program-extension-of-comment-period) ### 60-Day Notice of Proposed Information Collection: Information Collection Request (ICR) for the Drone Infrastructure Inspection Grant (DIIG) Program *Notice* — Transportation Department · Transportation Statistics Bureau In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and its implementing regulations, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R) invites the general public and all other interested entities to comment on a new information collection request associated with a new Federal Assistance program entitled "2026 Drone Infrastructure Inspection Grant (DIIG) Program."

Add `mcp.downstream.sh` as an MCP server — no key, no account — then paste this: ``` Using the Downstream MCP server at mcp.downstream.sh, call whats_new_since with agency "Transportation Department" since 2026-08-31, then summarise what changed and list every deadline it created. ``` Reaches `whats_new_since`. The response carries its own citations and states what it is missing, including which dates it has no record for. --- Every document linked here is a work of the United States government and in the public domain. The Federal Register's HTML and XML renderings are unofficial; the PDF on each item is the official text, and that is the one to cite. Counts are arithmetic over published fields, dates are printed as filed, and titles are verbatim. Where we have nothing, this says nothing rather than estimating. The one-sentence agency summaries are machine-written from those same fields and are labelled where they appear.
