### 80370 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 22, 2010 / Proposed Rules

well-being within the meaning of section 654 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 1999, Public Law 105–277, 112 Stat. 2681 (1998). Agency Regulatory Goal

NCUA’s goal is to promulgate clear and understandable regulations that impose minimal regulatory burden. We request your comments on whether the proposed amendments are understandable and minimally intrusive if implemented as proposed. 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 willtreat funds swept from a noninterestbearing transaction account to a noninterest-bearing savings depositaccount 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.

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

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
