    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued special conditions for the Airbus Model A330-243 airplane, which is being modified by TC Inter-Informatics to include unique oblique side-facing seats with inflatable lapbelts. These conditions address the lack of adequate safety standards in existing regulations for this type of seating. They include criteria for injury protection, body contact, neck and spine protection, and head rotation limits to ensure passenger safety. The FAA invites public comments on these special conditions, which will apply to other models if the same seat configuration is used.

    Simple Explanation

    A company is making new airplane seats that face sideways and have special seatbelts, and the people who make flying rules want to make sure they are safe, so they made new safety rules and asked people to tell them what they think.

    The Department of Energy (DOE) is delaying the start date of a rule about releasing guidance documents, pushing it from January 6, 2021, to March 21, 2021. This delay allows further review of the rule implementing Executive Order 13891, which aims to boost transparency by making guidance documents accessible online and open for public comment. DOE is not taking public comments on this delay but welcomes opinions on any further postponement and related matters. The action is a response to a directive from the new administration's Chief of Staff, advising a halt to review new rules.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Energy is waiting a little longer to start new rules that help people see and comment on their decisions online, moving the start date from January to March. They want to make sure everything's okay with the new rules and are asking people what they think about waiting even longer, but they haven't said exactly how they'll use these thoughts.
