The rule that produced this list

Stated so you can disagree with it rather than with us: a document appears here if it is a Presidential Document, or the issuing agency flagged it significant under E.O. 12866, or it is a rule or proposed rule that carries a comment deadline or an effective date.

Nothing is filtered out of the full list below — this is an ordering, not a filter.

Anchorages; Bolivar Roads Channel, Galveston, TX

Proposed RuleTransportation DepartmentFederal Aviation Administration

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737 -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of nuisance stick shaker activation while accelerating to cruise speed at the top of a climb due to frozen angle of airflow (AOA) sensor vanes. This proposed AD would require installing new external case heaters (ECHs) on the left and right AOA sensors, performing repetitive functional tests and applicable corrective actions, and accomplishing applicable concurrent actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
