Highway and rail transportation assets represent significant linear rights-of-way (ROWs) that have traditionally been reserved solely for transportation needs. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT or the Department), through the Build America Bureau, created the America's Great Corridors of Commerce (AGCC) initiative to unleash opportunities for both highway and rail ROW owners to generate revenue streams through utility colocation that can fund transportation improvement projects, while simultaneously delivering significant economic development to these areas. AGCC is a voluntary, applicant-driven process in which ROW owners propose corridors for strategic colocation of utility infrastructure in the transportation ROW through an innovative public- private partnership (P3) model. Selected corridors receive concierge technical assistance and enhanced collaboration from a team of experts from relevant Federal agencies. In this RFI, DOT seeks comments from the public and interested parties on the AGCC model and the proposed elements of DOT's anticipated AGCC designation process. - **Comments close** 2 October 2026 (in 21 days) 91 FR 57959 · FR Doc. 2026-18521 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-11/pdf/2026-18521.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/11/2026-18521/americas-great-corridors-of-commerce-request-for-information) ## 10 September 2026 — 12 documents [the whole issue for this day](https://downstream.sh/daily/2026-09-10.md) ### Airworthiness Directives; Bell Textron Canada Limited Helicopters *Proposed Rule* — Transportation Department · Federal Aviation Administration The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Bell Textron Canada Limited (Bell) Model 206L, 206L-1, 206L-3, and 206L-4 helicopters with FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) SR02684LA installed. This proposed AD was prompted by an event where a Bell Model 206L helicopter with FAA STC SR02684LA installed experienced moderate to severe vertical vibration, which resulted in damage to the tail boom of the helicopter. This proposed AD would require revising the Limitations section of the existing rotorcraft flight manual (RFM) for the helicopter to include a never-exceed-speed (VNE) limitation and would require incorporating a rotorcraft flight manual supplement (RFMS) into the existing RFM. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. - **Comments close** 26 October 2026 (in 45 days) 91 FR 57519 · FR Doc. 2026-18522 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-10/pdf/2026-18522.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/10/2026-18522/airworthiness-directives-bell-textron-canada-limited-helicopters) ### Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes *Proposed Rule* — Transportation Department · Federal Aviation Administration The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X, MYSTERE-FALCON 900, FALCON 900EX, FALCON 2000, and FALCON 2000EX airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reported occurrences of seats sliding without passenger input. The cabin seat track locking mechanism was found to jam in isolated conditions during taxi, take-off, and landing (TTOL). This proposed AD would require modifying or replacing each affected seat. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of affected seats. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. - **Comments close** 26 October 2026 (in 45 days) 91 FR 57521 · FR Doc. 2026-18520 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-10/pdf/2026-18520.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/10/2026-18520/airworthiness-directives-dassault-aviation-airplanes) ### Hazardous Materials: California's Reusability Mandate for Propane Cylinders *Notice* — Transportation Department · Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration The Federal Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (HMTA), 49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq., preempts California's reusability mandate for propane cylinders in California Public Resources Code, Sections 42395- 42395.2. The reusability mandate imposes localized design and manufacturing requirements on a container that is represented, marked, certified, or sold as qualified for use in the transportation of a hazardous material--specifically, propane--that are not substantively the same as the requirements in the HMR. The reusability mandate is also an obstacle to accomplishing and carrying out the HMTA. By banning a federally authorized, safety-compliant packaging based on localized waste management preferences, California creates a fragmented regulatory patchwork that undermines the primacy and uniformity of the Federal transportation safety framework. 91 FR 57684 · FR Doc. 2026-18501 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-10/pdf/2026-18501.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/10/2026-18501/hazardous-materials-californias-reusability-mandate-for-propane-cylinders) ### Agency Information Collection Activities: Request for Comments for a New Information Collection; Correction *Notice* — Transportation Department · Federal Highway Administration The FHWA is correcting the notice, "Agency Information Collection Activities: Request for Comments for a New Information Collection," published in the Federal Register on September 4, 2026. 91 FR 57678 · FR Doc. 2026-18485 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-10/pdf/2026-18485.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/10/2026-18485/agency-information-collection-activities-request-for-comments-for-a-new-information-collection) ### Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: International Role of the Federal Aviation Administration *Notice* — Transportation Department · Federal Aviation Administration In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection.
