  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 104900
    Reading Time:about 20 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new proposed rule that would replace the existing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-14-04 for Boeing 787-8 airplanes and expand it to include 787-9 and 787-10 models. This proposed rule requires inspections and improvements to prevent water leakage in electronics bays, which could lead to electrical shorts and loss of essential flight systems. The FAA is inviting written comments on the proposal by February 10, 2025, and plans to continue requiring certain safety measures initially outlined in the previous AD while adding new procedures to improve aircraft safety.

This rule suggested that employee performance should be prioritized over the length of service in cases of reductions in force (RIFs). The withdrawal took effect on March 12, 2021, following an Executive Order from President Biden that reversed a previous order, leading OPM to reassess its policy priorities. Despite already considering the rule withdrawn, OPM issued this clarification to ensure there is no confusion.
