List of Subjects in 12 CFR Part 745 

Credit unions, Share insurance. 

By the National Credit Union 

Administration Board on December 16, 2010. 

Mary F. Rupp, 

Secretary of the Board. 

For the reasons discussed above, 

NCUA proposes to amend 12 CFR Part 

745 as follows: 

PART 745—SHARE INSURANCE AND 

APPENDIX 

1. The authority citation for Part 745 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 12 U.S.C. 1752(5), 1757, 1765, 

1766, 1781, 1782, 1787, 1789. 

2. Amend § 745.1 by adding a new 

paragraph (f) to read as follows: 

§ 745.1 Definitions. 

* * * * * 

(f) The term noninterest-bearing 

transaction account means an account 

or deposit maintained at an insured 

credit union— 

(1) With respect to which either 

interest or dividends are neither accrued 

nor paid; 

(2) On which the account holder or 

depositor is permitted to make 

withdrawals by negotiable or 

transferable instrument, payment orders 

of withdrawal, telephone or other 

electronic media transfers, or other 

similar items for the purpose of making 

payments or transfers to third parties or 

others; and 

(3) On which the insured credit union 

does not reserve the right to require 

advance notice of an intended 

withdrawal. 

3. Add § 745.14 to read as follows: 

§ 745.14 Noninterest-bearing transaction 

accounts. 

(a) Separate insurance coverage. 

Through December 31, 2012, a 

member’s funds in a ‘‘noninterestbearing transaction account’’ (as defined 

in § 745.1(f) of this part) are fully 

insured, irrespective of the SMSIA. 

Such insurance coverage shall be 

separate from the coverage provided for 

other accounts maintained at the same 

insured credit union. 

(b) Certain swept funds. NCUA will 

treat funds swept from a noninterestbearing transaction account to a 

noninterest-bearing savings deposit 

account as being in a noninterestbearing transaction account. 

(c) Disclosure and notice 

requirements. (1) Each insured credit 

union that offers noninterest-bearing 

transaction accounts must post 

prominently the following notice in the 

lobby of its main office, in each branch 

and, if it offers Internet deposit services, 

on its Web site: 

Notice of Changes in Temporary NCUA 

Insurance Coverage for Transaction 

Accounts 

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank 

Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act, through December 31, 

2012, all funds in ‘‘noninterest-bearing 

transaction accounts’’ are insured in full 

by the National Credit Union 

Administration. This unlimited 

coverage is in addition to, and separate 

from, the coverage of at least $250,000 

available to members under the NCUA’s 

general share insurance rules. 

The term ‘‘noninterest-bearing 

transaction account’’ includes a 

traditional share draft account (or 

demand deposit account) on which the 

insured credit union pays no interest or 

dividend. It does not include any 

transaction account that may earn 

interest or dividends, such as a 

negotiable order of withdrawal (‘‘NOW’’) 

account, money-market account, or 

Interest on Lawyers Trust Account 

(‘‘IOLTA’’), even if share drafts may be 

drawn on the account. 

The temporary full insurance 

coverage of ‘‘noninterest-bearing 

transaction accounts’’ expires on 

December 31, 2012. After December 31, 

2012, funds in noninterest-bearing 

transaction accounts will be insured 

under the NCUA’s general share 

insurance rules, subject to the Standard 

Maximum Share Insurance Amount of 

$250,000. 

For more information about NCUA 

insurance coverage of transaction 

accounts, visit http://www.ncua.gov. 

(2) If an insured credit union uses 

sweep arrangements, modifies the terms 

of an account, or takes other actions that 

result in funds no longer being eligible 

for full coverage under this section, the 

insured credit union must notify 

affected members and clearly advise 

them, in writing, that such actions will 

affect their share insurance coverage.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This proposed 

AD would require initial and repetitive 

fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPIs) 

and eddy current inspections (ECIs) of 

the high-pressure compressor rotor 

(HPCR) 8–10 stage spool, part numbers 

(P/Ns) 1844M90G01 and 1844M90G02, 

for cracks between the 9–10 stages, at 

each piece-part exposure. This proposed 

AD was prompted by cracks discovered 

on one HPCR 8–10 spool between the 

9–10 stages in the weld joint. We are 

proposing this AD to prevent failure of 

the HPCR 8–10 stage spool, uncontained 

engine failure, and damage to the 

airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by February 7, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

We invite you to send any written 

relevant data, views, or arguments about 

this proposal. Send your comments to 

an address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA– 

2010–1024; Directorate Identifier 2010– 

NE–34–AD’’ at the beginning of your 

comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this proposed AD. We will 

consider all comments received by the 

closing date and may amend this 

proposed AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this proposed AD. 

Discussion 

General Electric Company (GE) 

recently informed us of cracks 

discovered during a shop visit of a 

GE90–94B turbofan engine. The cracks 

were in the HPCR 8–10 stage spool weld 

joint between the 9–10 stages. These 

cracks can lead to failure of the HPCR 

8–10 stage spool. GE informed us that 

the cracking is caused by defects during 

part manufacture, in the inertia weld 

process. This unsafe condition could 

also occur on GE90–76B; GE90–77B; 

GE90–85B; and GE90–90B turbofan 

engines, as they use the same design 

HPCR 8–10 stage spool. GE90 Engine 

Manual Chapter 5 requires mandatory 

inspections of the HPCR 8–10 stage 

spool, specifically, inspection of the 

weld joint between the 8–9 stages. 

Because of the cracking between the 9– 

10 stages in the weld joint, GE has 

updated Chapter 5 to include inspection 

of the weld joint between the 9–10 

stages. They also changed the inertia 

weld process during manufacture. These 

cracks, if not corrected, could result in 

failure of the HPCR 8–10 stage spool, 

uncontained engine failure, and damage 

to the airplane. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of the same 

type design. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would require 

initial and repetitive FPIs and ECIs of 

the HPCR 8–10 stage spool, P/Ns 

1844M90G01 and 1844M90G02 for 

cracks, at each piece-part exposure. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect 33 GE90–76B; GE90–77B; 

GE90–85B; GE90–90B; and GE90–94B 

engines installed on airplanes of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it would 

take about 2 work-hours per engine to 

perform one proposed inspection, and 

that the average labor rate is $85 per 

work-hour. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the total cost of the proposed 

AD to U.S. operators to be $5,610 for 

one inspection cycle. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in subtitle VII, 

part A, subpart III, section 44701: 

‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

We determined that this proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD would not have a 

substantial direct effect on the States, on 

the relationship between the national 

Government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify this proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(4) Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment

(HPCR) 8–10 stage spool, part number (P/N) 

1844M90G01 or 1844M90G02, installed. 

These engines are installed on but not 

limited to Boeing 777 series airplanes. 

Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD was prompted by cracks 

discovered on one HPCR 8–10 spool between 

the 9–10 stages in the weld joint. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent failure of the 

HPCR 8–10 stage spool, uncontained engine 

failure, and damage to the airplane. 

Compliance 

(e) Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

Inspections of the HPCR 8–10 Stage Spool 

(f) At the next piece-part exposure after the 

effective date of this AD of the HPCR 8–10 

stage spool, perform a fluorescent penetrant 

inspection (FPI) and eddy current inspection 

(ECI) of the weld joint between the 9–10 

stages of the HPCR 8–10 stage spool for 

cracks. 

(g) Thereafter, perform repetitive FPIs and

Background 

The Pinecastle, FL, and Lake George, 

FL, restricted areas have, for many 

years, satisfied military training 

requirements. However, with the 

introduction of higher-performance and 

more versatile, multi-role fighter 

aircraft, as well as advanced weapons 

systems and employment tactics, the 

available airspace at the Pinecastle and 

Lake George complexes is inadequate to 

satisfy training requirements. In order to 

fully exploit the capabilities of today’s 

fighter/attack aircraft and provide 

essential training that replicates the 

conditions units are encountering today 

during wartime deployments, it is 

necessary to expand the vertical and
