funds is not by statute or ordinance for the

specific use of and control by separate

departments of the city, separate insurance

coverage to the maximum of $100,000 is not

afforded to each account (§§ 745.1(d) and

745.10(a)(2)).

Example 5

Question: A, the custodian of retirement

funds of a military exchange, invests

$1,000,000 in an account in an insured credit

union. The military exchange, a nonappropriated fund instrumentally of the

United States, is deemed to be a public unit.

The employees of the exchange are the

beneficiaries of the retirement funds but are

not members of the credit union. What is the

insurance coverage?

Answer: Because A invested the funds on

behalf of a public unit, in his capacity as

custodian, those funds qualify for $100,000

share insurance even though A and the

public unit are not within the credit union’s

field of membership. Since the beneficiaries

are neither public units nor members of the

credit union they are not entitled to separate

share insurance. Therefore, $900,000 is

uninsured (§ 745.10(a)(1)).

Example 6

Question: A is the custodian of the

County’s employee retirement funds. He

deposits $1,000,000 in retirement funds in an

account in an insured credit union. The

‘‘beneficiaries’’ of the retirement fund are not

themselves public units nor are they within

the credit union’s field of membership. What

is the insurance coverage?

Answer: Because A invested the funds on

behalf of a public unit, in his capacity as

custodian, those funds qualify for $100,000

share insurance even though A and the

public unit are not within the credit union’s

field of membership. Since the beneficiaries

are neither public units nor members of the

credit union they are not entitled to separate

share insurance. Therefore, $900,000 is

uninsured (§ 745.10(a)(2)).

Example 7

Question: A county treasurer establishes

the following share draft accounts in an

insured credit union each with $100,000:

‘‘General Operating Fund’’

‘‘County Roads Department Fund’’

‘‘County Water District Fund’’

‘‘County Public Improvement District

Fund’’

‘‘County Emergency Fund’’

What is the insurance coverage?

Answer: The ‘‘County Roads Department,’’

‘‘County Water District’’ and ‘‘County Public

Improvement District’’ accounts would each

be separately insured to $100,000 if the funds

in each such account have been allocated by

law for the exclusive use of a separate county

department or subdivision expressly

authorized by State statute. Funds in the

‘‘General Operating’’ and ‘‘Emergency Fund’’

accounts would be added together and

insured in the aggregate to $100,000, if such

funds are for countywide use and not for the

exclusive use of any subdivision or principal

department of the county, expressly

authorized by State statute (§§ 745.1(d) and

745.10(a)(2)).

* * * * *

Example 9

Question: A, an official custodian of funds

of a state of the United States, lawfully

invests $250,000 of state funds in a federallyinsured credit union located in the state from

which he derives his authority as an official

custodian. What is the insurance coverage?

Answer: If A invested the entire $250,000

in a share draft account, then $100,000

would be insured and $150,000 would be

uninsured. If A invested $125,000 in share

draft accounts and another $125,000 in share

certificate and regular share accounts, then A

would be insured for $100,000 for the share

draft accounts and $100,000 for the share

certificate and regular share accounts leaving

$50,000 uninsured (§ 745.10(a)(2)). If A had

invested the $250,000 in a federally-insured

credit union located outside the state from

which he derives his authority as an official

custodian, then $100,000 would be insured

for all accounts regardless of whether they

were share draft, share certificate or regular

share accounts, leaving $150,000 uninsured

(§ 745.10(b)).

F. How Are Joint Accounts Insured?

* * * * *

G. How Are Trust Accounts and Retirement

Accounts Insured?

* * * * *

* * * Although credit unions may serve as

trustees or custodians for self-directed IRA,

Roth IRA and Keogh accounts, once the

funds in those accounts are taken out of the

credit union, they are no longer insured.

* * * * *

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Direction Ge ́ne ́rale de l’Aviation Civile

(DGAC), which is the airworthiness

authority for France, recently notified

the FAA that an unsafe condition may

exist on all Dassault Model MystereFalcon 900, Falcon 900EX, Fan Jet

Falcon, Mystere-Falcon 50, MystereFalcon 20, and Mystere-Falcon 200

series airplanes. The DGAC advises that

two Mystere-Falcon 900 series airplanes

have experienced severe pitch

oscillations during descent.

The exact cause of the pitch

oscillation is unknown at this time, and

is still under investigation. However, in

one case, it was considered that failure

of the pitch feel system may have

contributed to the severity of the pitch

oscillations. Since this system is similar

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 106 / Thursday, June 1, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 34927

in design to that of Dassault Model

Falcon 2000, Falcon 900EX, Fan Jet

Falcon, Mystere-Falcon 50, MystereFalcon 20, and Mystere-Falcon 200

series airplanes, these airplanes may be

subject to the same unsafe condition

revealed on the Mystere-Falcon 900

series airplanes.

Explanation of Relevant Service

Information

Dassault Aviation has issued the

following Airplane Flight Manual

(AFM) Temporary Revisions and

Temporary Changes:

• Temporary Revision 19, DTM589/

590/591/592, Temporary Revision 19

DTM592, and Temporary Revision 11,

DTM918, each dated October 27, 1999

(for Model Fan Jet Falcon series

airplanes.)

• Temporary Change 20, DTM30528,

dated October 27, 1999 (for Model

Mystere-Falcon 20 series airplanes.)

• Temporary Change 29, DTM308A,

dated October 27, 1999 (for Model

Mystere-Falcon 200 series airplanes.)

• Temporary Change 50, DTM813,

dated October 27, 1999 (for Model

Mystere-Falcon 50 series airplanes.)

• Temporary Change 49, FM813EX,

dated October 27, 1999 (for Model

Mystere-Falcon 50EX series airplanes.)

• Temporary Change 80, DTM20103,

and Temporary Change 4, FM900C, each

dated October 27, 1999 (for Model

Mystere-Falcon 900 series airplanes.)

• Temporary Change 46, DTM561,

dated October 27, 1999 (for Model

Falcon 900EX.)

Procedures described in the

Temporary Revisions and Temporary

Changes provide instructions to reduce

the airspeed to 260 knots indicated

airspeed or 0.76 mach indicated if the

pitch feel system light (i.e., PITCH, AQ

PITCH, AQ ROLL, PITCH FEEL, or Q

UNIT) is illuminated. The DGAC

classified these temporary revisions and

temporary changes as mandatory and

issued French airworthiness directives

1999–464–029(B), dated November 17,

1999, as revised by Erratum, dated

December 15, 1999 (for Model MystereFalcon 50, Mystere-Falcon 900, and

Falcon 900EX series airplanes); and

1999–467–026(B), dated November 17,

1999, as revised by Erratum, dated

December 15, 1999 (for Model Fan Jet

Falcon, Mystere-Falcon 20, and

Mystere-Falcon 200 series airplanes); in

order to assure the continued

airworthiness of these airplanes in

France.

FAA’s Conclusions

These airplane models are

manufactured in France and are type

certificated for operation in the United

States under the provisions of section

21.29 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR 21.29) and the

applicable bilateral airworthiness

agreement. Pursuant to this bilateral

airworthiness agreement, the DGAC has

kept the FAA informed of the situation

described above. The FAA has

examined the findings of the DGAC,

reviewed all available information, and

determined that AD action is necessary

for products of this type design that are

certificated for operation in the United

States.

Interim Action

This is considered to be interim

action until final action is identified, at

which time the FAA may consider

further rulemaking.

Explanation of Requirements of Rule

Since an unsafe condition has been

identified that is likely to exist or

develop on other airplanes of the same

type design registered in the United

States, this AD is being issued to

provide the flight crew with speed

limitations in the event of failure

indications of the pitch feel system.

These limitations are intended to

mitigate severe pitch oscillations of the

airplane. The actions are required to be

accomplished in accordance with the

AFM Temporary Revisions and

Temporary Changes described

previously, except as discussed below.

Explanation of Applicability

Operators should note that the

applicability of this AD includes all

Model Falcon 2000 series airplanes,

whereas this airplane model is not

included in the previously identified

French airworthiness directives. Since

Model Falcon 2000 series airplanes are

similar in design to those airplanes

identified in the French airworthiness

directives, the FAA has determined that

Model Falcon 2000 series airplanes may

be subject to the same unsafe condition

and, therefore, must be included in the

applicability of this AD.

Determination of Rule’s Effective Date

Since a situation exists that requires

the immediate adoption of this

regulation, it is found that notice and

opportunity for prior public comment

hereon are impracticable, and that good

cause exists for making this amendment

effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

Although this action is in the form of

a final rule that involves requirements

affecting flight safety and, thus, was not

preceded by notice and an opportunity

for public comment, comments are

invited on this rule. Interested persons

are invited to comment on this rule by

submitting such written data, views, or

arguments as they may desire.

Communications shall identify the

Rules Docket number and be submitted

in triplicate to the address specified

under the caption ADDRESSES. All

communications received on or before

the closing date for comments will be

considered, and this rule may be

amended in light of the comments

received. Factual information that

supports the commenter’s ideas and

suggestions is extremely helpful in

evaluating the effectiveness of the AD

action and determining whether

additional rulemaking action would be

needed.

Submit comments using the following

format:

• Organize comments issue-by-issue.

For example, discuss a request to

change the compliance time and a

request to change the service bulletin

reference as two separate issues.

• For each issue, state what specific

change to the AD is being requested.

• Include justification (e.g., reasons or

data) for each request.

Comments are specifically invited on

the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy aspects of

the rule that might suggest a need to

modify the rule. All comments

submitted will be available, both before

and after the closing date for comments,

in the Rules Docket for examination by

interested persons. A report that

summarizes each FAA-public contact

concerned with the substance of this AD

will be filed in the Rules Docket.

Commenters wishing the FAA to

acknowledge receipt of their comments

submitted in response to this rule must

submit a self-addressed, stamped

postcard on which the following

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to

Docket Number 2000–NM–109–AD.’’

The postcard will be date stamped and

returned to the commenter.

Regulatory Impact

The regulations adopted herein will

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. Therefore, it is

determined that this final rule does not

have federalism implications under

Executive Order 13132.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation is an emergency regulation

that must be issued immediately to

correct an unsafe condition in aircraft,

and that it is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ under Executive

34928 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 106 / Thursday, June 1, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

Order 12866. It has been determined

further that this action involves an

emergency regulation under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034, February 26, 1979). If it is

determined that this emergency

regulation otherwise would be

significant under DOT Regulatory

Policies and Procedures, a final

regulatory evaluation will be prepared

and placed in the Rules Docket. A copy

of it, if filed, may be obtained from the

Rules Docket at the location provided

under the caption ADDRESSES.
