64176 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 208 / Thursday, October 26, 2000 / Proposed Rules

1 If the credit union is using its web site or an email address as the only method by which a

consumer may opt out, the consumer must agree to

the electronic delivery of information.

information about such consumer to

your affiliate.

§ 706.14 When is a revised opt out notice

required?

If you have provided a consumer with

one or more opt notices and plan to

communicate opt out information to

your affiliates about the consumer, other

than as described in those notices, you

must provide the consumer with a

revised opt out notice that complies

with §§ 706.9 through 706.13.

§ 706.15 When must a credit union comply

with an opt out?

If you provide a consumer with an opt

out notice and the consumer opts out,

you must comply with the opt out as

soon as reasonably practicable after you

receive it.

§ 706.16 How long does an opt out last?

An opt out remains effective until

revoked by the consumer in writing or

electronically, as long as the consumer

continues to have a relationship with

you. If the consumer’s relationship with

you terminates, the opt out will apply

to this information. However, a new

notice and opportunity to opt out must

be provided if the consumer establishes

a new relationship with you.

§ 706.17 May a credit union condition the

availability or terms of credit on whether a

consumer opts out?

(a) General rule. If a consumer is an

applicant for credit, you must not

‘‘discriminate against’’ the consumer if

the consumer opts out of your

communication of opt out information

to your affiliates.

(b) Examples of discrimination

against an applicant. You discriminate

against an applicant if you:

(1) Deny the applicant credit because

the applicant opts out;

(2) Vary the terms of credit adversely

to the applicant such as by providing

less favorable pricing terms to an

applicant who opts out; or

(3) Apply more stringent credit

underwriting standards to the applicant

because the applicant opts out.

(c) Regulation B. The terms

‘‘applicant’’ and ‘‘discriminate against’’

in § 706.17 have the same meanings

ascribed to them in 12 CFR part 202.

Airworthiness Directives; Dornier

Luftfahrt GMBH Models 228–100, 228–

101, 228–200, 228–201, 228–202, and

228-212 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: This document proposes to

adopt a new airworthiness directive

(AD) that would apply to all Dornier

Luftfahrt GMBH (Dornier) Models 228–

100, 228-101, 228–200, 228–201, 228–

202, and 228–212 airplanes that have

windshield spray nozzle option SCN

3109 installed. The proposed AD would

require you to deactivate the windshield

spray nozzle heating elements. The

proposed AD is the result of mandatory

continuing airworthiness information

(MCAI) issued by the airworthiness

authority for Germany. The actions

specified by the proposed AD are

intended to prevent the windshield

spray nozzle heating system from

overheating, which could result in

smoke in the cockpit and prompt the

crew to initiate emergency actions.

DATES: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) must receive any

comments on this proposed rule on or

before November 30, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments in

triplicate to FAA, Central Region, Office

of the Regional Counsel, Attention:

Comments Invited

How do I comment on the proposed

AD? The FAA invites comments on this

proposed rule. You may submit

whatever written data, views, or

arguments you choose. You need to

include the rule’s docket number and

submit your comments in triplicate to

the address specified under the caption

ADDRESSES. The FAA will consider all

comments received on or before the

closing date. We may amend the

proposed rule in light of comments

received. Factual information that

supports your ideas and suggestions is

extremely helpful in evaluating the

effectiveness of the proposed AD action

and determining whether we need to

take additional rulemaking action.

Are there any specific portions of the

proposed AD I should pay attention to?

The FAA specifically invites comments

on the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy aspects of

the proposed rule that might suggest a

need to modify the rule. You may

examine all comments we receive before

and after the closing date of the rule in

the Rules Docket. We will file a report

in the Rules Docket that summarizes

each FAA contact with the public that

concerns the substantive parts of the

proposed AD.

We are re-examining the writing style

we currently use in regulatory

documents, in response to the

Presidential memorandum of June 1,

1998. That memorandum requires

federal agencies to communicate more

clearly with the public. We are

interested in your comments on whether

the style of this document is clearer, and

any other suggestions you might have to

improve the clarity of FAA

communications that affect you. You

can get more information about the

Presidential memorandum and the plain

language initiative at http://

www.plainlanguage.gov. 

How can I be sure FAA receives my

comment? If you want us to

acknowledge the receipt of your

comments, you must include a selfaddressed, stamped postcard. On the

postcard, write ‘‘Comments to Docket

No. 99–CE–19–AD.’’ We will date stamp

and mail the postcard back to you.

Discussion

What events have caused this

proposed AD? The Luftfahrt-Bundesamt

(LBA), which is the airworthiness

authority for Germany, notified the FAA

that an unsafe condition may exist on

all Dornier Models 228–100, 228-101,

228–200 and 228–201, 228–202, and

228–212 airplanes. The LBA reported an

incident where the windshield spray

nozzle overheated and generated smoke

in the cockpit. This prompted the crew

to initiate an emergency evacuation

during engine start.

The airplane had windshield spray

nozzle option SCN 3109 installed.

What are the consequences if the

condition is not corrected? If this system

overheats, smoke could enter the

cockpit and prompt the crew to initiate

emergency actions.

Is there service information that

applies to this subject? Dornier has

issued All Operators Telefax (AOT) No.

AOT–228–30–022, dated September 9,

1998. This telefax specifies deactivating

the windshield spray nozzle heating

elements.

What action did the LBA take? The

LBA classified this service information

as mandatory and issued German AD

Number 1999–030/2, dated April 8,

1999, in order to assure the continued

airworthiness of these airplanes in the

Germany.

Was this in accordance with the

bilateral airworthiness agreement?

These airplane models are

manufactured in Germany 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 LBA has

kept FAA informed of the situation

described above.

The FAA’s Determination and an

Explanation of the Provisions of the

Proposed AD

What has FAA decided? The FAA has

examined the findings of the LBA;

reviewed all available information; and

determined that:

• The unsafe condition referenced in

this document exists or could develop

on other all Dornier Models 228–100,

228–101, 228–200 and 228–201, 228–

202, and 228–212 airplanes of the same

type design that have windshield spray

nozzle option SCN 3109 installed; and

• AD action should be taken in order

to correct this unsafe condition.

What would the proposed AD require?

This proposed AD would require you to

deactivate the windshield spray nozzle

heating elements.

Cost Impact

How many airplanes would the

proposed AD impact? We estimate that

the proposed AD affects 9 airplanes in

the U.S. registry.

What would be the cost impact of the

proposed AD on owners/operators of the

affected airplanes? We estimate the

following costs to accomplish the

proposed modification:

Labor cost Parts cost Total cost per airplane

Total Cost on

U.S. airplane

operators

1 workhour × $60 per hour = $60 ........... Not applicable .......................................... $60 per airplane ...................................... $540

Regulatory Impact

Would this proposed AD impact

various entities? The regulations

proposed herein 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. Therefore, it is

determined that this proposed rule

would not have federalism implications

under Executive Order 13132.

Would this proposed AD involve a

significant rule or regulatory action? For

the reasons discussed above, I certify

that this proposed action (1) is not a

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and (3) if

promulgated, 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. A copy of the draft

regulatory evaluation prepared for this

action has been placed in the Rules

Docket. A copy of it may be obtained by

contacting the Rules Docket at the

location provided under the caption
