SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 22, 2024, the Commission 

received a Petition for Rulemaking 

(‘‘Petition’’) from Ken Paxton, Attorney 

General of Texas. The Petition asks the 

Commission to adopt two amendments 

to its regulations concerning the use of 

credit cards to make contributions, to 

address the potential use of prepaid 

cards to circumvent contribution 

amount limitations and source 

prohibitions. 

The Federal Election Campaign Act 

(the ‘‘Act’’) limits the total amount a 

contributor may contribute to any given 

political committee.1 The Act and 

Commission regulations also prohibit 

certain persons from making 

contributions at all.2 The Act and 

Commission regulations further prohibit 

any person from making a contribution 

in the name of another person.3 In 

addition, the Act and Commission 

regulations require political committees 

to disclose identifying information from 

each contributor, including name, 

address, and—in some cases—the 

contributor’s occupation and employer.4

The Petition asserts that ‘‘there has 

been substantial public reporting 

regarding potentially fraudulent 

transactions on political committee 

online platforms. Certain platforms 

appear to facilitate straw donor 

transactions, where a contributor 

disguises his identity by attributing his 

contribution to another, unaware 

person.’’ 5 The Petition further states 

that ‘‘prepaid cards are a favorite tool of 

fraudsters,’’ 6 and that ‘‘specific security 

measures can mitigate this problem,’’ 

such as comparing the identifying 

information supplied by contributors to 

the name, address, and other billing 

information on file with the issuer of the 

credit card used to make the 

contribution.7

Accordingly, the Petition states that 

‘‘new regulations governing electronic 

payment acceptance and related 

problems are critical to ensuring the 

integrity of campaign finance laws.’’ 8

The Petition asks the Commission to 

adopt two amendments to 11 CFR 

104.14: 

• Amend 104.14(b)(5) to provide that 

records for contributions made by 

credit, debit, prepaid, or gift card must 

include documentation confirming that 

a cross-check occurred between the 

contributor’s self-reported identifying 

information with the card issuing 

institution’s own information on the 

name and billing address of the 

cardholder. 

• Amend 104.14(e) to provide that 

contributions cannot be accepted from 

prepaid or gift cards unless the 

information from those prepaid or gift 

cards can be cross-checked with the 

card issuing institution to confirm the 

name and billing address required 

under paragraph (b)(5) of this rule.9

The Commission seeks comment on 

the Petition. The public may inspect the 

Petition on the Commission’s website at 

http://www.fec.gov/fosers/ (reference 

REG 2024–08). 

The Commission will not consider the 

Petition’s merits until after the comment 

period closes. If the Commission 

decides that the Petition has merit, it 

may begin a rulemaking proceeding. 

The Commission will announce any 

action that it takes in the Federal 

Register. 

Dated: November 19, 2024. 

On behalf of the Commission, 

Sean J. Cooksey, 

Chairman, Federal Election Commission.

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & 

Whitney Canada Corp. Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for 

certain Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. 

(P&WC) Model PW535E and PW535E1 

engines. This proposed AD was 

prompted by a manufacturer design 

review that indicated certain flange 

bolts securing the gas generator case and 

turbine support case are susceptible to 

cracking at their current low-cycle 

fatigue (LCF) life. This proposed AD 

would require repetitive borescope 

inspections (BSI) of the gas generator 

case to turbine support case retaining 

bolts for evidence of bolt cracks, bolt 

fracture, missing bolts, or loose bolts 

and replacement, if necessary, as 

specified in a Transport Canada AD, 

which is incorporated by reference. The 

FAA is proposing this AD to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this NPRM by January 10, 2025. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

The FAA invites you to send any 

written relevant data, views, or 

arguments about this proposal. Send 

your comments to an address listed 

under ADDRESSES. Include ‘‘Docket No. 

FAA–2024–2539; Project Identifier 

MCAI–2023–00971–E’’ at the beginning 

of your comments. The most helpful 

comments reference a specific portion of 

the proposal, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include 

supporting data. The FAA will consider 

all comments received by the closing 

date and may amend this proposal 

because of those comments. 

Except for Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) as described in the 

following paragraph, and other 

information as described in 14 CFR 

11.35, the FAA will post all comments 

received, without change, to 

regulations.gov, including any personal 

information you provide. The agency 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact received 

about this NPRM. 

Confidential Business Information 

CBI is commercial or financial 

information that is both customarily and 

actually treated as private by its owner. 

Under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt 

from public disclosure. If your 

comments responsive to this NPRM 

contain commercial or financial 

information that is customarily treated 

as private, that you actually treat as 

private, and that is relevant or 

responsive to this NPRM, it is important 

that you clearly designate the submitted 

comments as CBI. Please mark each 

page of your submission containing CBI 

as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA will treat such 

marked submissions as confidential 

under the FOIA, and they will not be 

placed in the public docket of this 

NPRM. Submissions containing CBI 

should be sent to Barbara Caufield, 

Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 2200 

South 216th Street, Des Moines, WA 

98198. Any commentary that the FAA 

receives which is not specifically 

designated as CBI will be placed in the 

public docket for this rulemaking. 

Background 

Transport Canada, which is the 

aviation authority for Canada, has 

issued Transport Canada AD CF–2023– 

60, dated August 14, 2023 (Transport 

Canada AD CF–2023–60) (also referred 

to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe 

condition for certain P&WC Model 

PW535E and PW535E1 engines. The 

MCAI states that data from a design 

review by the manufacturer identified 

insufficient LCF life for flange bolts 

securing the engine gas generator and 

turbine support case. At certain highstress circumferential locations, LCF 

cracks could develop on the flange bolt 

and lead to fracture of the bolt. To 

address this potential unsafe condition, 

the manufacturer published material 

that provides instructions for repetitive 

BSIs and replacement of the affected 

parts. The FAA is proposing this AD to 

prevent fracture of the gas generator 

case to turbine support case retaining 

bolts. The unsafe condition, if not 

addressed, could result in uncontained 

engine debris, damage to the engine, 

and damage to the airplane. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2024–2539. 

Material Incorporated by Reference 

Under 1 CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed Transport Canada 

AD CF–2023–60, which identifies the 

affected gas generator case to turbine 

support case retaining bolts and 

specifies procedures for repetitive BSIs 

and replacement. This material is 

reasonably available because the 

interested parties have access to it 

through their normal course of business 

or by the means identified in the 

ADDRESSES section. 

FAA’s Determination 

These products have been approved 

by the aviation authority of another 

country and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with this 

State of Design Authority, it has notified 

the FAA of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI referenced 

above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM 

after determining that the unsafe 

condition described previously is likely 

to exist or develop on other products of 

the same type design. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

Transport Canada AD CF–2023–60 

described previously, except for any 

differences identified as exceptions in 

the regulatory text of this proposed AD 

and except as discussed under 

‘‘Differences Between this Proposed AD 

and the MCAI.’’ 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and the MCAI 

Where the service information 

referenced in Transport Canada AD CF– 

2023–60 requires reporting certain 

information to the manufacturer, this 

proposed AD would not require such a 

submission. 

Explanation of Required Compliance 

Information 

In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to 

improve the efficiency of the AD 

process, the FAA developed a process to 

use some civil aviation authority (CAA) 

ADs as the primary source of 

information for compliance with 

requirements for corresponding FAA 

ADs. The FAA has been coordinating 

this process with manufacturers and 

CAAs. As a result, the FAA proposes to 

incorporate Transport Canada AD CF– 

2023–60 by reference in the FAA final 

rule. This proposed AD would, 

therefore, require compliance with 

Transport Canada AD CF–2023–60 in its 

entirety through that incorporation, 

except for any differences identified as 

exceptions in the regulatory text of this 

proposed AD. Material required by 

Transport Canada AD CF–2023–60 for 

compliance will be available at 

regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA– 

2024–2539 after the FAA final rule is 

published. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 1,042 

engines installed on airplanes of U.S. 

registry. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to comply with this proposed AD:

results of the proposed inspection. The 

agency has no way of determining the 

number of engines that might need these 

replacements:

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. 

The FAA is 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 

The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would 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, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety.

(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt 

from public disclosure. If your 

comments responsive to this NPRM 

contain commercial or financial 

information that is customarily treated 

as private, that you actually treat as 

private, and that is relevant or 

responsive to this NPRM, it is important 

that you clearly designate the submitted 

comments as CBI. Please mark each 

page of your submission containing CBI 

as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA will treat such 

marked submissions as confidential 

under the FOIA, and they will not be 

placed in the public docket of this 

NPRM. Submissions containing CBI 

should be sent to Sungmo Cho, Aviation 

Safety Engineer, FAA, 2200 South 216th 

Street, Des Moines, WA 98198. Any 

commentary that the FAA receives 

which is not specifically designated as 

CBI will be placed in the public docket 

for this rulemaking.
