ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) is planning to hold a public

meeting on Friday, November 7, 2014 

from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in

Due to the REAL ID Act implemented 

by the Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS), there have been recent 

changes regarding identification (ID) 

requirements for individuals wishing to 

enter Federal buildings from specific 

States and U.S. territories. 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

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 conservation 

standards 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 amend 

standards 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.

AGENCY: Office of the Comptroller of the 

Currency, Treasury; Board of Governors 

of the Federal Reserve System; Federal 

Deposit Insurance Corporation; Farm 

Credit Administration; National Credit 

Union Administration. 

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 Protection 

Act 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.

or before December 29, 2014.
