FRA also proposes that each railroad carrier conducting a triennial examination of skill performance, and an annual operational monitoring observation for locomotive engineers, which are current requirements, conduct those examinations and observations without engaging energy management systems that limit the need for a locomotive engineer to operate the throttle or braking systems. Further, FRA proposes to codify limitations on operations at the southern border, including a 10 route-mile geographic limitation, to ensure domestic training, testing, and certification requirements for Mexican crew members are adequate. In addition, FRA proposes changes to clarify that a locomotive engineer or conductor's territorial qualification is limited to the specific direction of travel traversed during the qualification process.","document_number":"2026-15605","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/31/2026-15605/qualification-and-certification-of-locomotive-engineers-and-conductors-english-language-proficiency","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-07-31/pdf/2026-15605.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-15605.pdf?1785415526","publication_date":"2026-07-31","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Railroad Administration","name":"Federal Railroad Administration","id":185,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-railroad-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/185","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-railroad-administration"}],"excerpts":"FRA proposes to amend its regulations governing the qualification and certification of locomotive engineers and conductors to establish English language proficiency as a requirement for a railroad carrier to certify and recertify locomotive engineers..."},{"title":"Amendment of United States Area Navigation Routes (RNAV) T-285 and T-286 in the Vicinity of Thedford, NE","type":"Rule","abstract":"This action amends the published coordinates of the Thedford, NE, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) in the legal descriptions of Area Navigation (RNAV) routes T-285 and T-286 in the vicinity of Thedford, NE.

This action is pursuant to Congress' direction in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to complete a system of competitive bidding by July 4, 2027, for at least 100 megahertz of spectrum in the 3.98-4.2 GHz band. The Order creates a single 3.7 GHz Service that spans 3.7-4.14 GHz and adopts competitive bidding procedures for an auction. The Order largely applies the current Lower C-band licensing and operating rules to the Upper C-band, but it imposes more forward-leaning performance requirements. The Commission also generally adopts the Lower C-band technical rules for the Upper C-band, with certain modifications designed to reinforce a successful coexistence environment with adjacent band radio altimeters. The Order requires new licensees in the Upper C-band, as a condition of their licenses, to reimburse defined incumbent Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) licensees for reasonable and necessary costs associated with migrating FSS operations out of the reconfigured portion of the Upper C-band, consistent with the Commission's Emerging Technologies precedent. The Order also provides incentives to eligible space station operators that meet their clearing obligations by specified transition deadlines. Finally, new Upper C-band licensees must provide rebates for defined classes of eligible aircraft owners and operators to facilitate compliance with the FAA's radio altimeter retrofit requirements, which are designed to promote successful coexistence between Upper C-band licensees and radio altimeters in the 4.2-4.4 GHz band.","document_number":"2026-15598","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/31/2026-15598/upper-c-band-398-42-ghz-expanding-flexible-use-of-the-37-to-42-ghz-band","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-07-31/pdf/2026-15598.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-15598.pdf?1785356110","publication_date":"2026-07-31","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"excerpts":"In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) adopted a Report and Order, Order of Proposed Modification, and Order on Reconsideration (Order), that expands the ecosystem for next-generation wireless services in the 3.7-4.2 GHz..."},{"title":"FLSA Claims and Compliance","type":"Rule","abstract":"The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing this direct final rule to update the provisions concerning Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) claims submissions to OPM.","document_number":"2026-15597","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/31/2026-15597/flsa-claims-and-compliance","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-07-31/pdf/2026-15597.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-15597.pdf?1785415525","publication_date":"2026-07-31","agencies":[{"raw_name":"OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT","name":"Personnel Management Office","id":406,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/personnel-management-office","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/406","parent_id":null,"slug":"personnel-management-office"}],"excerpts":"The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing this direct final rule to update the provisions concerning Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) claims submissions to OPM."},{"title":"Sunshine Act Meetings","type":"Notice","abstract":null,"document_number":"2026-15595","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/31/2026-15595/sunshine-act-meetings","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-07-31/pdf/2026-15595.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-15595.pdf?1785356109","publication_date":"2026-07-31","agencies":[{"raw_name":"Unified Carrier Registration Plan","name":"Unified Carrier Registration Plan","id":601,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/unified-carrier-registration-plan","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/601","parent_id":null,"slug":"unified-carrier-registration-plan"}],"excerpts":null},{"title":"Agency Information Collection Activities;

Section 40002 of that law re-institutes the Federal Communications Commission's general auction authority and specifically directs the Commission to complete a system of competitive bidding for not less than 100 megahertz in the 3.98-4.2 gigahertz band (Upper C- band). This final rule supports the Federal Communications Commission's July 2026 Report and Order that makes 160 megahertz of the Upper C-band available for terrestrial wireless flexible use via a system of competitive bidding. To ensure safe, efficient, and reliable aviation operations in the presence of wireless signals in the C-band, the Federal Aviation Administration is issuing new regulations that require all radio altimeters to meet specific minimum performance requirements. These new radio altimeters must withstand interference from wireless signals in neighboring spectrum bands and continue to provide accurate altitude readings to both pilots and integrated aircraft safety systems. These regulations require all aircraft equipped with radio altimeters operating under part 121 and those aircraft with radio altimeters operating under part 129 with 30 or more passenger seats or a payload capacity of more than 7,500 pounds to comply with the minimum performance requirements by December 30, 2030, which is prior to the date the Federal Communications Commission authorizes the use of the Upper C-band for new wireless services, as stated in its Report and Order. All other aircraft equipped with radio altimeters that are required to comply with part 91, including aircraft operating under parts 125, 133, 135, 136, 137, 194, and all other aircraft operating under part 129 that are not subject to the initial deadline, must comply with the same minimum performance requirements on or before October 31, 2034.","document_number":"2026-15585","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/31/2026-15585/requirements-for-interference-tolerant-radio-altimeter-systems","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-07-31/pdf/2026-15585.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-15585.pdf?1785356109","publication_date":"2026-07-31","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Aviation Administration","name":"Federal Aviation Administration","id":159,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-aviation-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/159","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-aviation-administration"}],"excerpts":"In July 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
