    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed revoking certain airways in Alaska due to plans to decommission two radio beacons. These changes will affect Colored Federal Airway Green 6 (G-6) and Alaskan Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways V-459 and V-496. The FAA assures that alternative navigation routes, like the RNAV Route T-380, can substitute these functions. Public comments on this proposal are invited until March 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to stop using some special paths in the sky for airplanes in Alaska because they plan to turn off certain guiding signals. But don't worry, they have backup paths for planes to use instead!

    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 9100
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The U.S. Small Business Administration has announced a Presidential declaration of a major disaster for parts of Alaska, specifically for public assistance, following severe storms and flooding from October 20-23, 2024. This declaration enables Private Non-Profit organizations offering essential governmental services to apply for disaster loans. Interested parties can submit applications online through the MySBA Loan Portal or at specified locations. The designated affected areas include the Bering Strait Regional Educational Attendance Area and the Northwest Arctic Borough.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is helping some places in Alaska that got really rainy and flooded by letting special groups borrow money to fix things. But, it's a bit tricky because they don't say exactly who can get the help and they don't tell you all the places to go if you can't use the internet.

  • 2024-30649 — Interim Final Determination To Defer Sanctions; AK, Fairbanks North Star Borough
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 1378
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made an interim final decision to delay sanctions against the State of Alaska after it submitted a plan that meets Clean Air Act requirements related to air quality standards for fine particulate matter in Fairbanks North Star Borough. These sanctions were initially triggered due to the past disapproval of Alaska's air quality plan. The EPA's decision relies on a proposed approval of Alaska's revised plan and gives the public the opportunity to comment on this delay of sanctions. This action aims to avoid imposing penalties while the approval process for the revised plan is ongoing. The EPA is not requiring any new changes or imposing burdens as part of this action.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is giving Alaska a temporary break from penalties because Alaska is working to improve air quality in Fairbanks, and they think Alaska's plan is on the right track. It's like when a teacher gives a student extra time to finish their homework because they're making good progress.
