Background 

On June 11, 2013, the FAA issued 

Notice No. 1209, entitled ‘‘Revisions to 

Operational Requirements for the Use of 

Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (EFVS) 

and to Pilot Compartment View 

Requirements for Vision Systems,’’ 78 

FR 34935. The FAA requested that 

comments on that proposal be received 

on or before September 9, 2013. 

Dassault Aviation submitted a request 

to extend the comment period from 

September 9, 2013 to October 15, 2013 

to allow adequate time to analyze and 

provide comments on the NPRM, draft 

AC 90–106A, and draft AC 20–167A, all 

of which are directly related to the 

proposed rule. On September 6, 2013, 

the FAA published a notice in the 

Federal Register extending the NPRM 

comment period to October 15, 2013 to 

coincide with the close of the comment 

period for draft AC 90–106A and draft 

AC 20–167A. 78 FR 54790. 

The regulatory evaluation associated 

with the NPRM was not posted to the 

docket prior to the close of the comment 

period. Therefore, to ensure that the 

public has the opportunity to provide 

comments specifically on the regulatory 

evaluation posted in the docket (FAA– 

2013–0485), the FAA is reopening the 

comment period for 30 days to allow for 

comments on the regulatory evaluation 

only. The FAA will not address 

comments on the NPRM because the 

comment period for the NPRM closed 

on October 15, 2013. 

Accordingly, the comment period for 

Notice No. 12–09 is reopened until 

September 21, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Section 492 of the HEA requires that, 

before publishing any proposed 

regulations to implement programs 

authorized under title IV of the HEA, 

the Secretary obtain public involvement 

in the development of the proposed 

regulations. After obtaining advice and 

recommendations from the public, the 

Secretary conducts negotiated 

rulemaking to develop the proposed 

regulations. We announce our intent to 

develop proposed title IV regulations by 

following the negotiated rulemaking 

procedures in section 492 of the HEA. 

We intend to select participants for 

the negotiated rulemaking committee 

from nominees of the organizations and 

groups that represent the interests 

significantly affected by the proposed 

regulations. To the extent possible, we 

will select from the nominees 

individual negotiators who reflect the 

diversity among program participants, 

in accordance with section 492(b)(1) of 

the HEA. 

Regulatory Issues 

We intend to convene a committee to 

develop proposed regulations for 

determining which acts or omissions of 

an institution of higher education 

(‘‘institution’’) a borrower may assert as 

a defense to repayment of a loan made 

under the William D. Ford Federal 

Direct Loan (Federal Direct Loan) 

Program (‘‘borrower defenses’’) and the 

consequences of such borrower defenses 

for borrowers, institutions, and the 

Secretary. Specifically, we intend to 

address: (1) The procedures to be used 

for a borrower to establish a defense to 

repayment; (2) the criteria that the 

Department will use to identify acts or 

omissions of an institution that 

constitute defenses to repayment of 

Federal Direct Loans to the Secretary; 

(3) the standards and procedures that 

the Department will use to determine 

the liability of the institution 

participating in the Federal Direct Loan 

Program for amounts based on borrower 

defenses; and (4) the effect of borrower 

defenses on institutional capability 

assessments.
