Mitsubishi MU-2B Series Airplane Training Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

The collection of information is used to ensure compliance with subpart N of part 91. The information will also create written documentation establishing a base month for an annual training requirement. In addition, a recommended MU-2B training program has been published by the FAA as Appendix A to Advisory Circular 91-89. The recommended training program is an acceptable means of compliance with subpart N of part 91. Part 91 training providers are required to submit a proposed MU-2B training program to their local jurisdictional Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) for approval, which includes curriculum and syllabus. The information will be used by the FAA to ensure compliance with subpart N of part 91 and promote safety in air commerce. This information collection is mandatory for those entities and persons that wish to operate MU-2 aircraft. The collection consists of recordkeeping and reporting. It is mandatory for training providers to submit their training programs to the FAA every two years and for pilots to obtain logbook endorsements every year.

Notice Requirements for Fertility Excepted Benefits (CMS-10947)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 2791(c)(2) of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), section 733(c)(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and section 9832(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) establishing four statutory categories of "excepted benefits" that are generally exempt from the health reform requirements added to those laws by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the No Surprises Act, and certain other federal laws specifically related to group health plans and group and individual health insurance coverage. On February 18, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14216, "Expanding Access to In Vitro Fertilization," which instructs the Departments to provide support, awareness, and access to affordable fertility treatments, including reliable access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, by easing unnecessary statutory or regulatory burdens to make IVF treatment drastically more affordable. In the proposed rule "Excepted Fertility Benefits" (the proposed rule), the Departments propose to add new paragraph (c)(3)(ix) of 26 CFR 54.9831-1 and 29 CFR 2590.732, and new paragraph (b)(3)(ix) of 45 CFR 146.145 to establish fertility benefits as a new category of limited excepted benefits. The proposed rule would require that plans or issuers offering excepted fertility benefits provide written notice to plan participants and beneficiaries that includes a description of the coverage, including a summary of benefits and limitations of the coverage, including the lifetime dollar limit established by the plan or issuer that complies with the maximum lifetime dollar limit described in proposed paragraph (c)(3)(ix)(B) (or paragraph (b)(3)(ix)(B), as applicable),information on how to identify and utilize a network provider, if applicable, and how to submit a claim for reimbursement, including whether the benefit utilizes the same claims procedure as for the sponsor’s other group health plans. This notice requirement ensures that participants and beneficiaries are fully informed about the availability and requirements of their excepted fertility benefits coverage.

Limited Excepted Fertility Benefits

Key Information

Abstract

On February 18, 2025, Executive Order 14216 was issued to ensure reliable access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and provide more affordable treatment options, recognizing both the medical necessity of infertility treatment for affected individuals and the broader importance of supporting American families in achieving their reproductive goals. This proposed rule would implement that approach by recognizing limited fertility benefits as “other similar, limited benefits” specified in regulations. Under the proposal, limited fertility benefits would include benefits substantially all of which are for the diagnosis, mitigation, or treatment of infertility or infertility-related reproductive health conditions by medical professionals authorized to practice under applicable law, including evidence-based items or services targeted to address such conditions. In the group market, such benefits would be excepted only if they are provided under a separate policy, certificate, or contract of insurance or are otherwise not an integral part of the plan, satisfy a lifetime dollar limit of $120,000 as adjusted for medical inflation, and are accompanied by a written notice to participants and beneficiaries. The notice would describe the coverage, including benefits and limitations, explain how to identify and use network providers if applicable, and explain how to submit claims for reimbursement. The Department of Health and Human Services also proposes to amend the individual market excepted benefits regulations to recognize limited fertility benefits as limited excepted benefits in the individual market if they are offered under a separate policy, certificate, or contract of insurance and satisfy the scope, lifetime dollar limit, and notice requirements. The proposed rule is intended to provide employers and issuers with additional flexibility to offer standalone fertility-related coverage, including coverage for services such as diagnostic testing, infertility treatment, and IVF, while reducing regulatory burden and promoting access to fertility benefits.

U.S. Customs Declaration

Key Information

Abstract

CBP Form 6059B, Customs Declaration, is used as a standard report of the identity and residence of each person arriving in the United States. This form is also used to declare imported articles to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in accordance with 19 CFR 122.27, 148.12, 148.13, 148.110, 148.111; 31 U.S.C. 5316 and Section 498 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1498). Section 148.13 of the CBP regulations prescribes the use of the CBP Form 6059B when a written declaration is required of a traveler entering the United States. Generally, written declarations are required from travelers arriving by air or sea. Section 148.12 requires verbal declarations from travelers entering the United States. Generally, verbal declarations are required from travelers arriving by land. CBP continues to find ways to improve the entry process through the use of mobile technology to ensure it is safe and efficient. To that end, CBP is testing the operational effectiveness of a process which allows travelers to use a mobile app to submit information to CBP prior to arrival. This process, called Mobile Passport Control (MPC) which is a mobile app that allows travelers to self-segment upon arrival into the United States — a process also known as intelligent queuing. The submission of information in advance using MPC allows CBP to direct travelers to the appropriate queue in primary or self-segment directly to secondary if additional inspection is necessary. The continued testing also helps determine under what circumstances CBP should require a written customs declaration (CBP Form 6059B) and when it is beneficial to admit travelers who make an oral customs declaration during the primary inspection. MPC eliminates the administrative tasks performed by the officer during a traditional inspection and in most cases will eliminate the need for respondents/travelers to fill out a paper declaration. MPC provides a more efficient and secure in person inspection between the CBP Officer and the traveler. Another electronic process that CBP is testing in lieu of the paper 6059B is the Automated Passport Control (APC). This is a CBP program that facilitates the entry process for travelers by providing self-service kiosks in CBP’s Primary Inspection area that travelers can use to make their declaration. Both APC and MPC allow an electronic method for travelers to answer the questions that appear on form 6059B without filling out a paper form.

Class I Carrier Weekly Service Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

Rail service reliability is essential to the economy, and the Board prioritizes monitoring rail service for emerging issues so that it can act promptly to address them. The Board has broad authority to require reports by rail carriers, 49 U.S.C. 11145, and it collects a range of data from Class I carriers that allows the Board and stakeholders to monitor railroad performance. The Board’s experience has shown that ongoing, standardized reporting of data allows the Board to observe long-term trends and assess changes in service levels, enabling it to take early action to address potential concerns. Therefore, in a NPRM, the Board proposes weekly Class I carrier reporting of two additional service metrics: an original estimated time of arrival (OETA) metric and an industry spot and pull (ISP) metric. Reporting of these metrics would allow the Board to better monitor service reliability and address possible future regional and national service lapses.

Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA) Program

Key Information

Abstract

Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) is a voluntary safety program designed to improved aviation safety through the proactive use of flight-recorded data. Operators will use this data to identify and correct deficiencies in all area of flight operations. An air carrier wanting to participate in FOQA will prepare an Implementation and Operations (I&O) Plan for FAA review and approval. The I&O Plan specifies the organization, technology, policies, procedures, and operational processes to be used in their FOQA program. It further details how an air carrier will collect operational flight data, develop methods to analyze the collected flight data (e.g., trigger events, routine operational measurements), and establish procedures for comparing the collected data with established procedures and standards. The air carrier determines the areas it will heighten awareness and feedback programs to enhance safety. Identified areas often include flight procedures, flight training procedures and qualification standards, crew performance, air traffic control procedures, aircraft maintenance and engineering programs, and/or aircraft and airport design and maintenance. Trend analyses of FOQA data will identify potential problem areas, evaluate corrective actions, and measure performance over time. This information is de-identified to share with stakeholders and regulators such as the FAA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), or industry safety groups. Properly used, FOQA data can reduce or eliminate safety risks, as well as minimize deviations from regulations. Through access to de-identified aggregate FOQA data, the FAA can identify and analyze national trends and target resources to reduce operational risks in the National Airspace System (NAS), air traffic control (ATC), flight operations and airport operations. The FAA and the air transportation industry have sought additional means for addressing safety problems and identifying potential safety hazards. Based on the experiences of foreign air carriers, the results of several FAA sponsored studies, and input received from government/industry safety forums, the FAA concluded that wide implementation of FOQA programs could have significant potential to reduce air carrier accident rates below current levels. The value of FOQA programs is the early identification of adverse safety trends, which, if uncorrected, could lead to accidents. A key element in FOQA is the application of corrective action and follow-up to ensure that unsafe conditions are effectively remediated.

Bird/Other Wildlife Strike Report

Key Information

Abstract

The foundation to our understanding of wildlife hazards to aviation lies in the quantity and quality of strike data within the National Wildlife Strike Database (NWSD). The database extends from 1990 - 2023 and is a collaborative effort begun in 1995 between the FAA and the USDA. Although the quantity of strikes reported each year over three decades has grown significantly, the quality assurance provided by the USDA is the keystone allowing the NWSD to be invaluable throughout the aviation industry. Pilots, airports, and others involved in wildlife strikes report strike data voluntarily on an as needed basis. The data collection is used by the FAA, USDA Wildlife Service, airports, engine and airframe manufacturers, ICAO and foreign countries to develop standards to address bird and other wildlife hazards to aircraft and injury to personnel and to develop wildlife habitat control methods on or adjacent to airports. Using wildlife strike reports, the FAA can determine the hazard level of species struck, track national trends, and provide a scientific foundation for regulatory guidance concerning mitigation of risks from wildlife strikes. Airports and wildlife biologists use the data to identify and mitigate hazardous species, to identify strike dynamics and attractants, and to evaluate the effectiveness of their wildlife management programs. Engine and airframe manufacturers use the data to evaluate the effectiveness of aircraft components. A wildlife strike report must include the incident date and time but can also include information about the airport, aircraft, aircraft operator, environmental conditions, damage, costs, effect on flight, wildlife involved, and incident reporter. Reporters can also attach photographs of damage and wildlife involved. The data elements collected help the FAA and partner organizations identify trends in wildlife strikes and their impact on U.S. aviation. Incident reporter contact information is collected for internal use only to contact reporters if more details about an incident are needed and to help identify potential duplicate reports. The information collected is authenticated and stored electronically in the FAA National Wildlife Strike Database (https://wildlife.faa.gov/home). This database is accessible to international, national, state, and local governments and both public and private organizations and individuals for use in addressing the wildlife aircraft strike issue. The FAA Wildlife Hazard Program, managed by the Office of Airports and the Airport Technology Research & Development Branch, will retain control over the information and safeguard it from improper access, modification, and destruction, consistent with FAA standards for confidentiality, privacy, and electronic information. The information collection is designed to yield data that meet all applicable information quality guidelines.
