Debt Collection (Regulation F) 

AGENCY: Bureau of Consumer Financial 

Protection. 

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking; extension of comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: On November 12, 2013, the 

Bureau of Consumer Financial 

Protection (the Bureau) published in the 

Federal Register an Advance Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking about debt 

collection practices (Debt Collection 

ANPR). The Debt Collection ANPR 

allowed a 90-day comment period, 

closing on February 10, 2014. To allow 

interested persons more time to 

consider and craft their responses, the 

Bureau has determined that an 

extension of the comment period until 

February 28, 2014 is appropriate. 

DATES: The comment period for the Debt 

Collection ANPR published November 

12, 2013, at 78 FR 67868, is extended. 

Responses must now be received on or 

before February 28, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CFPB–2013– 

0033 or Regulatory Identification 

Number (RIN) 3170–AA41, by any of the 

following methods: 

• Electronic: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Mail/Hand Delivery: Monica 

Jackson, Office of the Executive 

Secretary, Bureau of Consumer 

Financial Protection, 1700 G Street NW., 

Washington, DC 20552. 

Instructions: All submissions must 

include the agency name and docket 

number or RIN. Please include the 

question number(s) to which your

comments received will be posted 

without change to http:// 

www.regulations.gov. In addition, 

comments will be available for public 

inspection and copying at 1700 G Street 

NW., Washington, DC 20552, on official 

business days between the hours of 10 

a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern Time. You can 

make an appointment to inspect the 

documents by calling (202) 435–7275. 

All comments submitted through the 

formal means described above, 

including attachments and other 

supporting materials, will become part 

of the public record and subject to 

public disclosure. Sensitive personal 

information, such as account numbers 

or Social Security numbers, should not 

be included. Comments will not be 

edited to remove any identifying or 

contact information. 

E-Rulemaking Initiative: The Bureau 

is working with the Cornell eRulemaking Initiative (CeRI) on a pilot 

project, RegulationRoom 

(www.RegulationRoom.org), that uses 

web technologies and approaches to 

enhance public understanding and 

effective participation. This ANPR on 

debt collection is a focus of the project. 

RegulationRoom is set up to make it 

easier for consumers and others to 

understand what the Bureau is 

considering, to share their information, 

experiences, and concerns, and to 

discuss possible ideas and solutions. 

Note that RegulationRoom is not an 

official United States Government Web 

site. Although comments made on that 

site are not formal comments like those 

submitted through the means identified 

above, the discussion on 

RegulationRoom will be captured 

through a detailed summary, which 

participants will have the chance to 

review and suggest revisions. This 

summary will be filed as a formal 

comment on Regulations.gov. For 

questions about this project, please 

contact Whitney Patross, Counsel, 

Office of Regulations, at (202) 435–7700. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

general inquiries, submission process 

questions, or any additional 

information, please contact Monica 

Jackson, Office of the Executive 

Secretary, 202–435–7275. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 12, 2013, the Bureau 

published the Debt Collection ANPR in 

the Federal Register. The Debt 

Collection ANPR seeks comment, data 

and information from the public about 

debt collection practices. 

The comment period for the Debt 

Collection ANPR was to close on 

February 10, 2014. 

The Bureau has received three formal 

written requests from industry trade 

groups for an extension of the Debt 

Collection ANPR comment period. The 

request letters indicated more time 

would enable a higher quality response 

and yield greater insight to the Bureau. 

The Bureau has also received informal 

inquiries from other types of 

stakeholders expressing an interest in 

having more time to compile 

information in response to the ANPR. 

The Bureau has carefully balanced 

interested persons’ desire to have more 

time to consider the issues raised in the 

Debt Collection ANPR, gather data, and 

prepare their responses, with the fact 

that this is the first of what the Bureau 

expects to be many opportunities for 

public input over time. Accordingly, the 

Bureau is extending the period allotted 

for comments received pursuant to the 

Debt Collection ANPR. The comment 

period will now close on February 28, 

2014. 

Dated: January 6, 2014.

Director, Bureau of Consumer Financial 

Protection.

[Docket No. FAA–2013–0904; Notice No. 

25–13–14–SC] 

Special Conditions: Airbus, Model 

A350–900 Series Airplane; Electronic 

Flight Control System: LateralDirectional and Longitudinal Stability 

and Low Energy Awareness 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed special 

conditions. 

SUMMARY: This action proposes special 

conditions for the Airbus Model A350– 

900 series airplanes. These airplanes 

will have a novel or unusual design 

feature(s) associated with lateraldirectional and longitudinal stability 

and low energy awareness. The 

applicable airworthiness regulations do 

not contain adequate or appropriate 

safety standards for this design feature. 

These proposed special conditions 

contain the additional safety standards 

that the Administrator considers 

necessary to establish a level of safety 

equivalent to that established by the 

existing airworthiness standards. 

DATES: Send your comments on or 

before February 28, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments identified 

by docket number FAA–2013–0904
