As a result, driver’s licenses from the following States or territory will not be accepted for building entry, and instead, one of the alternate forms of ID listed below will be required.

DHS has determined that regular driver’s licenses (and ID cards) from the following jurisdictions are not acceptable for entry into DOE facilities: Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Oklahoma, and Washington. Acceptable alternate forms of Photo-ID include: U.S. Passport or Passport Card; an Enhanced Driver’s License or Enhanced ID-Card issued by the States of Minnesota, New York or Washington (Enhanced licenses issued by these States are clearly marked Enhanced or Enhanced Driver’s License); a military ID or other Federal government-issued Photo-ID card.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The Department of Energy (DOE) is holding a public meeting to demonstrate the analytical tools developed by the agency in support of a notice of proposed rule (NOPR) to consider amended energy conservation standards for residential non-weatherized gas furnaces and mobile home gas furnaces.

On April 24, 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an order adopting a settlement agreement in litigation that, among other things, vacated DOE’s minimum energy conservationstandards for residential nonweatherized gas furnaces and mobile home gas furnaces and remanded the proceeding back to DOE for further rulemaking regarding those products. The settlement agreement included a provision that, ‘‘In the rulemaking on remand, DOE will make available to the public the data gathered and analyzed by the agency prior to publication of a proposed rule. DOE will endeavor to post such data as they become available during the agency’s development of a proposed rule. At a minimum, the agency will make such data available to the public within 30 days after the Office of Management and Budget receives a draft proposed rule from DOE.’’

In fulfillment of that obligation, DOE released the following documents on DOE’s Web site at: http://www. regulations.gov/#!docket Browser;rpp=25;po=0;dct=SR% 252BO;D=EERE-2014-BT-STD-0031.

• Preliminary draft NOPR life-cycle cost spreadsheet;

• Preliminary NOPR national impact analysis spreadsheet; and

• Preliminary NOPR Government Regulatory Impact Model.

The scheduled meeting is intended to demonstrate to interested parties DOE’s analytical tools and to provide them with an opportunity to ask questions and offer feedback for DOE to consider in its use of the analytical tools, as applied in each energy conservation standards rulemaking. While DOE will demonstrate these analytical tools with the content provided in the residential non-weatherized gas furnace and mobile home gas furnace rulemaking, and will entertain questions related to that

content, the public meeting will not address any deliberative issues related to that specific rulemaking docket. DOE will hold a public meeting to solicit comment on any proposal to amendstandards for residential nonweatherized gas furnaces and mobile home gas furnaces after a proposed rule concerning those furnaces has been issued. A court reporter will be present at the meeting to record the proceedings and to prepare a transcript. A transcript of the public meeting will be posted on the DOE Web site and will be included in the docket for this rulemaking. In addition, any person may buy a copy of the transcript from the transcribing reporter.

**ACTION :**  Joint notice of proposed rulemaking.

**SUMMARY :**  The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Farm Credit Administration (FCA), and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) (collectively, the Agencies) are proposing to amend their regulations regarding loans in areas having special flood hazards to implement certain provisions of the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014 (HFIAA), which amends some of the changes to the Flood Disaster ProtectionAct of 1973 mandated by the BiggertWaters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (Biggert-Waters). Specifically, the proposal would establish requirements with respect to the escrow of flood insurance payments, consistent with the changes set forth in HFIAA. The proposal also would incorporate an exemption in HFIAA for certain detached structures from the mandatory flood insurance purchase requirement. The Agencies plan to address in a separate rulemaking other provisions of Biggert-Waters over which the Agencies have jurisdiction that have not been affected by HFIAA.
