Technical Amendments

AGENCY: Office of Thrift Supervision, 

Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Office of Thrift 

Supervision (OTS) is amending its 

regulations to incorporate a number of 

technical and conforming amendments. 

They include clarifications and 

corrections of typographical errors.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 22, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marilyn K. Burton, Senior Paralegal 

(Regulations), (202) 906–6467, or Karen

Division, Chief Counsel’s Office, Office 

of Thrift Supervision, 1700 G Street, 

NW., Washington, DC 20552.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OTS is 

amending its regulations to incorporate 

a number of technical and conforming 

amendments. OTS is making the 

following miscellaneous changes: 

• Part 506—Information Collection 

Requirements under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA). The final rule 

updates the table displaying the OMB 

control numbers assigned to various 

OTS regulations under the PRA by 

correcting references to two control 

numbers. See 12 CFR 506.1(b). 

• Part 516—Application Processing 

Guidelines and Procedures. The final 

rule updates § 516.40 to include the 

current address for OTS’s Northeast 

Regional Offices and makes technical 

changes to the addresses for OTS’s 

Midwest and West Regions. 

• Part 541—Definitions for 

Regulations Affecting Federal Savings 

Associations. The final rule revises the 

definition of single family dwelling in 

§ 541.25 to conform to the structure of 

other definitions in the part. 

• Part 560—Lending and Investment.

The final rule corrects a typographical 

error in § 560.93(b)(9). 

• Part 563—Savings Associations—

Operations. The final rule corrects a 

typographical error in § 563.43(f). 

• Part 564—Appraisals. The final rule 

removes an outdated note from part 564. 

• Parts 567—Capital. This final rule 

reinstates subsections (a)(2)(v)(B) and 

(C) to § 567.6, which were inadvertently 

removed by the final rule published on 

July 28, 2004 (69 FR 44908). 

• Part 570—Safety and Soundness 

Guidelines and Compliance Procedures.

The final rule updates references in 

§ 570.1(c). 

Administrative Procedure Act; Riegle 

Community Development and 

Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994

OTS finds that there is good cause to 

dispense with prior notice and comment 

on this final rule and with the 30-day 

delay of effective date mandated by the 

Administrative Procedure Act.1 OTS 

believes that these procedures are 

unnecessary and contrary to public 

interest because the rule merely makes 

technical changes to existing provisions. 

Because the amendments in the rule are 

not substantive, these changes will not 

affect savings associations.

Section 302 of the Riegle Community 

Development and Regulatory 

Improvement Act of 1994 provides that 

regulations that impose additional 

reporting, disclosure, or other new 

requirements may not take effect before 

the first day of the quarter following 

publication. 2 This section does not 

apply because this final rule imposes no 

additional requirements and makes only 

technical changes to existing 

regulations.

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Pursuant to section 605(b) of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act,3 the OTS 

Director certifies that this technical 

corrections regulation will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities.

Executive Order 12866

OTS has determined that this rule is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ for 

purposes of Executive Order 12866. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995

OTS has determined that the 

requirements of this final rule will not 

result in expenditures by State, local, 

and tribal governments, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

in any one year. Accordingly, a 

budgetary impact statement is not 

required under section 202 of the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995.

Airworthiness Directives; Eagle 

Aircraft (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. Model 

Eagle 150B Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The FAA adopts a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Eagle Aircraft (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. 

Model Eagle 150B airplanes. This AD 

requires you to inspect the port and 

starboard undercarriage attach bracket 

for unwelded areas and replace the 

attach bracket if unwelded areas are 

found. This AD results from mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information 

(MCAI) issued by the airworthiness 

authority for Malaysia. We are issuing 

this AD to detect and correct inadequate 

welding of the undercarriage, which 

could result in cracks. This failure could 

lead to loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective on 

January 31, 2005. 

As of January 31, 2005, the Director of 

the Federal Register approved the 

incorporation by reference of certain 

publications listed in the regulation.

ADDRESSES: To get the service 

information identified in this AD,

Bhd., P.O. Box 1028, Pejabat Pos Besar, 

Melanka, Malaysia, 75150; telephone:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

What events have caused this AD?

The Department of Civil Aviation, 

Malaysia (DCA), which is the 

airworthiness authority for Malaysia, 

recently notified FAA that an unsafe 

condition may exist on all Eagle Aircraft 

Sdn. Bhd. Model Eagle 150B airplanes. 

The DCA reports one case of finding 

cracks on a port main undercarriage 

attach bracket during a routine 

inspection. An unwelded area on the 

adjoining plates of the bracket may have 

caused stress that resulted in the 

cracking. 

What is the potential impact if FAA 

took no action? Inadequate welding of 

the undercarriage attach bracket could 

result in cracks. This failure could lead 

to loss of control of the airplane. 

Has FAA taken any action to this 

point? We issued a proposal to amend 

part 39 of the Federal Aviation 

Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include 

an AD that would apply to all Eagle 

Aircraft Sdn. Bhd. Model Eagle 150B 

airplanes. This proposal was published 

in the Federal Register as a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on 

October 22, 2004 (69 FR 62003). The 

NPRM proposed to require you to 

inspect the port and starboard 

undercarriage attach bracket for 

unwelded areas and replace the attach 

bracket if unwelded areas are found. 

Comments 

Was the public invited to comment?

We provided the public the opportunity 

to participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the proposal 

or on the determination of the cost to 

the public. 

Conclusion 

What is FAA’s final determination on 

this issue? We have carefully reviewed 

the available data and determined that 

air safety and the public interest require 

adopting the AD as proposed except for 

minor editorial corrections. We have 

determined that these minor 

corrections:

—Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

—Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Changes to 14 CFR Part 39—Effect on 

the AD 

How does the revision to 14 CFR part 

39 affect this AD? On July 10, 2002, the 

FAA published a new version of 14 CFR
