Federal Employee Salary Offset 

Procedures for the Collection of a Debt 

Owed to the Federal Government 

AGENCY: Defense Nuclear Facilities 

Safety Board. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule adopts, 

without change, an interim final rule 

with a request for comments published 

in the Federal Register on September 

19, 2023. The interim final rule created 

regulations governing the collection of 

debts owed to the Defense Nuclear 

Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB) and to 

the United States by Federal employees. 

DATES: Effective November 22, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Patricia A. Hargrave, Associate General 

Counsel, Defense Nuclear Facilities 

Safety Board, 625 Indiana Avenue NW, 

Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004–2901, 

(202) 694–7000. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 19, 2023, (88 FR 64353), the 

Board published an interim final rule 

with a request for comments. This rule, 

which became effective October 19, 

2023, implemented the debt collection 

procedures provided under section 5 of 

the Debt Collection Act (DCA), as 

amended, codified at 5 U.S.C. 5514. The 

DCA authorizes the Federal Government 

to collect debts by offset from the 

salaries of Federal employees without 

the employee’s consent, provided that 

the employee is properly notified and 

given the opportunity to exercise certain 

administrative rights. 

The Board determined that the 

regulations were interpretative because 

they merely implemented a definitive 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
81342 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 22, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 

statutory scheme and the requirements 

contained in regulations promulgated by 

OPM, codified in 5 CFR part 550, 

subpart K. Accordingly, no notice of 

proposed rulemaking was required 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). In 

addition, because this rule related to 

agency management and personnel, no 

notice of proposed rulemaking was 

required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2). 

The Board, however, noted that it would 

consider any public comments, but no 

comments were received. This is 

confirmation that the interim rule 

published September 19, 2023, at 88 FR 

64353, is adopted as final without 

change. 

Dated: November 13, 2023.

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault 

Aviation Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023–04– 

18, which applied to all Dassault 

Aviation Model FALCON 2000 

airplanes. AD 2023–04–18 required 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations. This AD was 

prompted by a determination that new 

or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations are necessary. This AD 

continues to require certain actions in 

AD 2023–04–18 and requires revising 

the existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations as specified in a European 

Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) 

AD, which is incorporated by reference. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to address 

the unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective December 

27, 2023. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of December 27, 2023. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain other publication listed in 

this AD as of April 18, 2023 (88 FR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2023–04–18, 

Amendment 39–22365 (88 FR 15607, 

March 14, 2023) (AD 2023–04–18). AD 

2023–04–18 applied to all Dassault 

Aviation Model FALCON 2000 

airplanes. AD 2023–04–18 required 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations. The FAA 

issued AD 2023–04–18 to address 

reduced controllability of the airplane. 

AD 2023–04–18 specified that 

accomplishing the revision required by 

that AD terminates certain requirements 

of AD 2010–26–05, Amendment 39– 

16544 (75 FR 79952, December 21, 

2010) (AD 2010–26–05) for Model 

FALCON 2000 airplanes only. This AD 

therefore continues to allow that 

terminating action. 

The NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on August 30, 2023 (88 FR 

59815). The NPRM was prompted by 

AD 2023–0099, dated May 11, 2023, 

issued by EASA, which is the Technical 

Agent for the Member States of the 

European Union (EASA AD 2023–0099) 

(also referred to as the MCAI). The 

MCAI states that new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations have been 

developed. 

In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to 

continue to require certain actions in 

AD 2023–04–18 and to require revising 

the existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations, as specified in EASA AD 

2023–0099. The FAA is issuing this AD 

to address reduced controllability of the 

airplane. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2023–1804. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received no comments on 

the NPRM or on the determination of 

the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country and is approved for operation in 

the United States. Pursuant to the FAA’s 

bilateral agreement with this State of 

Design Authority, it has notified the 

FAA of the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA 

reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety requires 

adopting this AD as proposed. 

Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD 

to address the unsafe condition on this 

product. Except for minor editorial 

changes, this AD is adopted as proposed 

in the NPRM. None of the changes will 

increase the economic burden on any 

operator. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2023–0099 specifies new or 

more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations for airplane structures and 

safe life limits. 

This AD also requires EASA AD 

2022–0135, dated July 6, 2022, which 

the Director of the Federal Register 

approved for incorporation by reference 

as of April 18, 2023 (88 FR 15607, 

March 14, 2023).
