In this final action, the FAA finalizes its alternate framework to stand-up initial groups of powered-lift pilots and flight instructors. Most notably, the FAA adopts alternate frameworks to facilitate the certification of pilots seeking qualifications in a powered-lift with single functioning flight controls and a single pilot station. In response to commenters, the FAA provides clarification for certain operating rules and adopts a performance-based approach to certain operating rules to enable powered-lift operations. In addition to finalizing provisions for powered-lift, this action also makes changes to practical tests in aircraft that require type ratings, including airplanes and helicopters, training center rotorcraft instructor eligibility, training and testing requirements, and training center use of rotorcraft in flight training.","document_number":"2024-24886","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/11/21/2024-24886/integration-of-powered-lift-pilot-certification-and-operations-miscellaneous-amendments-related-to","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-11-21/pdf/2024-24886.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-24886.pdf?1732110316","publication_date":"2024-11-21","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":"scenario, the PIC limitation may be removed by completing <span class=\"match\">SOE</span> pursuant to § 61.64(g). \n \n Additionally, the FAA agrees with Archer that the purpose of <span class=\"match\">SOE</span> is to ensure applicants have sufficient experience in the aircraft in the NAS and actual operating environment that the PIC would operate within.

The RO Model will be a mandatory payment model and will test whether making prospective episode payments to hospital outpatient departments (HOPD) and freestanding radiation therapy centers for RT episodes of care preserves or enhances the quality of care furnished to Medicare beneficiaries while reducing Medicare program spending through enhanced financial accountability for RO Model participants. The ETC Model will be a mandatory payment model focused on encouraging greater use of home dialysis and kidney transplants, in order to preserve or enhance the quality of care furnished to Medicare beneficiaries while reducing Medicare expenditures. The ETC Model adjusts Medicare payments on certain dialysis and dialysis-related claims for participating ESRD facilities and clinicians caring for beneficiaries with ESRD--or Managing Clinicians--based on their rates of home dialysis transplant waitlisting, and living donor transplants.

The proposed RO Model would promote quality and financial accountability for providers and suppliers of radiotherapy (RT). The RO Model would test whether making prospective episode payments to hospital outpatient departments (HOPD) and freestanding radiation therapy centers for RT episodes of care preserves or enhances the quality of care furnished to Medicare beneficiaries while reducing Medicare program spending through enhanced financial accountability for RO Model participants. The proposed ETC Model would be a mandatory payment model focused on encouraging greater use of home dialysis and kidney transplants, in order to preserve or enhance the quality of care furnished to Medicare beneficiaries while reducing Medicare expenditures. The ETC Model would include ESRD facilities and certain clinicians caring for beneficiaries with ESRD-- or Managing Clinicians--located in selected geographic areas as participants. CMS would assess the performance of participating Managing Clinicians and ESRD facilities on their rates of home dialysis and kidney and kidney-pancreas transplants during each Measurement Year (MY), and would subsequently adjust certain of their Medicare payments upward or downward during the corresponding performance payment adjustment period based on their home dialysis rate and transplant rate. CMS would also positively adjust certain Medicare payments to participating ESRD facilities and Managing Clinicians for home dialysis and home dialysis-related claims in the initial 3 years of the ETC Model. We believe that these two proposed models would test ways to further our goals of reducing Medicare expenditures while preserving or enhancing the quality of care furnished to beneficiaries.","document_number":"2019-14902","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/07/18/2019-14902/medicare-program-specialty-care-models-to-improve-quality-of-care-and-reduce-expenditures","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-07-18/pdf/2019-14902.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2019-14902.pdf?1562791517","publication_date":"2019-07-18","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services","name":"Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services","id":45,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/centers-for-medicare-medicaid-services","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/45","parent_id":221,"slug":"centers-for-medicare-medicaid-services"}],"excerpts":"model materials and <span class=\"match\">activities</span> would be subject to the requirements for such materials and <span class=\"match\">activities</span> included in the general provisions, as discussed in section II.D.3 of this proposed rule.\n \n We invite public comment on the proposed beneficiary protections for the ETC Model. \n 10. <span class=\"match\">Monitoring</span> \n a. <span class=\"match\">Monitoring</span> <span class=\"match\">Activities</span> \n If finalized, the general provisions relating to <span class=\"match\">monitoring</span> proposed in section II.I of this rule would apply to ETC Participants, including but not limited to cooperating with the model <span class=\"match\">monitoring</span> <span class=\"match\">activities</span> per the proposed § 512"},{"title":"Exemptions To Facilitate Intrastate and Regional Securities Offerings","type":"Rule","abstract":"We are adopting amendments to modernize Rule 147 under the Securities Act of 1933, which provides a safe harbor for compliance with the Section 3(a)(11) exemption from registration for intrastate securities offerings.

Given the increased speed and automation of trading on securities exchanges and ATSs today, and the growing popularity of sponsored or direct market access arrangements where broker-dealers allow customers to trade in those markets electronically using the broker-dealers' market participant identifiers, the Commission is concerned that the various financial and regulatory risks that arise in connection with such access may not be appropriately and effectively controlled by all broker-dealers. The Commission believes it is critical that broker-dealers, which under the current regulatory structure are the only entities that may be members of exchanges and, as a practical matter, constitute the majority of subscribers to ATSs, appropriately control the risks associated with market access, so as not to jeopardize their own financial condition, that of other market participants, the integrity of trading on the securities markets, and the stability of the financial system.","document_number":"2010-1269","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2010/01/26/2010-1269/risk-management-controls-for-brokers-or-dealers-with-market-access","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2010-01-26/pdf/2010-1269.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2010-01-26","agencies":[{"raw_name":"SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION","name":"Securities and Exchange Commission","id":466,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/securities-and-exchange-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/466","parent_id":null,"slug":"securities-and-exchange-commission"}],"excerpts":"modified by Commission staff to <span class=\"match\">account</span> for an 1,800-hour work-year and multiplied by 5.35 to <span class=\"match\">account</span> for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead.\n \n \n \n \n 69 \n  20 hours (total annual ongoing compliance hourly burden for a compliance manager) × $258 (hourly wage for a compliance manager) = $5,160.
