with coerced debt and specify what 

constitutes effective consent. 

• Modify the definition of ‘‘identity 

theft report’’ to reflect the modified 

definition of ‘‘identity theft.’’ 

• Allow the modified definition of 

‘‘identity theft’’ to enable persons with 

coerced debt to utilize the block of 

information resulting from identity 

theft. 

• Clarify that no consumer reporting 

agency (CRA), including specialty 

CRAs, can refuse to block information 

under 15 U.S.C. 1681c–2(c)(1)(C) if the 

consumer is a person with coerced debt. 

The petition highlighted how 

economic abuse, and particularly 

coerced debt, can cause serious and 

lasting harm for survivors of domestic 

violence and others. The petition cited 

research showing that between 94 and 

99 percent of survivors of intimate 

partner violence have experienced 

economic abuse.3 Further, the petition 

emphasized how economic abuse can 

have lasting impacts on survivors of that 

abuse. Commenters on the petition also 

noted that studies show that a majority 

of survivors of domestic violence 

remained longer in abusive 

relationships in part because of their 

coerced debt, that a significant portion 

of survivors reported harm to their 

credit scores due to the actions of 

abusive partners, and that a significant 

portion of survivors who were 

successful in removing coerced debt 

from their credit files experienced 

significant increases to their credit 

scores. Commenters cited research 

showing that survivors of color 

experienced especially acute harm as a 

result of coerced debt. 

After a review of the petition and 

comments received on the petition, the 

CFPB has determined that a rulemaking 

is warranted and will issue a proposed 

rule. The evidence contained in the 

petition and comments received on the 

petition persuasively suggest that 

amending Regulation V to specifically 

account for coercion, and absence of 

effective consent, in the definition of 

identity theft could enable survivors to 

regain control of their financial lives 

and further their physical safety and 

independence from abusers. The CFPB 

has also preliminarily determined that 

addressing this issue is well within the 

statutory authority of the CFPB to define 

‘‘identity theft.’’ 4 The CFPB notes that 

victims of coerced debt can include 

people in a range of abusive 

relationships, including children and 

survivors of elder abuse. The CFPB has 

engaged in similar rulemakings in the 

past under the Debt Bondage Repair Act. 

In 2022, the CFPB finalized a rule to 

prohibit consumer reporting agencies 

from providing consumer reports that 

contain any negative item of 

information about a survivor of human 

trafficking that resulted from the 

trafficking.5

In addition to the record provided by 

the comments responding to the 

petition, the CFPB now seeks additional 

comment from the public to provide 

further information to facilitate the 

preparation of a proposed rule. The 

CFPB welcomes comment on all aspects 

of this advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking from all interested parties 

including survivors of coerced debt and 

their advocates, consumers, consumer 

advocacy groups, legal services 

providers, social service agencies, 

academic researchers, consumer 

reporting agencies, other industry 

members or trade groups, and any other 

members of the public. 

II. Questions 

1. What information exists regarding 

the prevalence and extent of harms to 

victims of economic abuse, particularly 

coerced debt? How does the consumer 

reporting system, including provisions 

relating to identity theft, currently 

contribute to or reduce those harms? 

2. To what extent do protections 

under the FCRA or other Federal or 

State laws exist for victims of economic 

abuse with respect to consumer 

reporting information? What barriers 

exist that may prevent survivors of 

economic abuse from availing 

themselves of existing protections? 

3. Does coerced debt reflect the 

survivor’s credit risk independent of the 

abuser? Why or why not? Is there any 

data addressing the relevance of coerced 

debt to the survivor’s credit risk 

independent of the abuser? 

4. What are the costs and benefits of 

the proposed amendment outlined by 

the petition for rulemaking? 

5. The petition defines ‘‘coerced debt’’ 

as ‘‘all non-consensual, credit-related 

transactions that occur in a relationship 

where one person uses coercive control 

to dominate the other person.’’ What 

alternatives to that language should the 

CFPB consider? 

6. Comments to the petition identify 

survivors of intimate partner violence, 

domestic abuse, and gender-based 

violence as groups that would benefit 

from explicit inclusion of coerced debt 

as a form of identity theft. Commenters 

noted specific vulnerabilities for older 

Americans, children in foster care, and 

survivors of color. 

a. What barriers do these groups face 

as a result of coerced debt? 

b. How would the proposed 

amendments outlined in the petition for 

rulemaking reduce those barriers? 

c. Are there other populations who 

experience problems with coerced debt 

and whose experiences should be 

considered in the proposed rulemaking? 

d. How would the proposed 

amendments outlined in the petition for 

rulemaking address the needs of these 

other populations? 

7. Should the CFPB propose the 

amendments outlined by the petition for 

rulemaking? What alternatives should 

the CFPB consider? For instance: 

a. What documentation should a 

person be required to produce to show 

that their debt was coerced? 

b. What self-attestation mechanisms 

could be considered for meeting the 

standard for an identity theft report? 

c. Are there circumstances that should 

give rise to a presumption of coercion? 

d. Should the CFPB propose general 

protections related to coerced debt, 

specific protections for survivors of 

domestic or intimate partner violence, 

or a combination?

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Airbus Canada Limited Partnership 

Model BD–500–1A10 and BD–500– 

1A11 airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by a design review that 

discovered software protection logic for 

potential large leaks from the engine 

bleed duct inside the engine core 

compartments was partially impaired. 

This proposed AD would require 

revising the existing airplane flight 

manual (AFM) to incorporate the 

procedures for the flight crew to 

manually isolate the opposite functional 

engine in the event of an engine bleed 

duct large leak condition, as specified in 

a Transport Canada AD, which is 

proposed for incorporation by reference 

(IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by January 27, 

2025. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

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

Background 

Transport Canada, which is the 

aviation authority for Canada, has 

issued Transport Canada AD CF–2024– 

30, dated August 27, 2024 (Transport 

Canada AD CF–2024–30) (also referred 

to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe 

condition for all Airbus Canada Limited 

Partnership Model BD–500–1A10 and 

BD–500–1A11 airplanes. The MCAI 

states a design review discovered 

software protection logic for potential 

large leaks from the engine bleed duct 

inside the engine core compartments 

was partially impaired. Under certain 

large leak conditions (e.g., a duct burst 

at a specific portion of the engines bleed 

ducting), Pratt & Whitney’s PW1500G 

engine’s electronic engine control (EEC) 

would not transmit the necessary 

information to the aircraft controller to 

automatically isolate the opposite 

engine from the leak path in the bleed 

system. This failure condition could 

lead to a dual engine failure. 

The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2024–2554. 

Material Incorporated by Reference 

Under 1 CFR Part 51 

Transport Canada AD CF–2024–30 

specifies procedures for revising the 

‘‘Non-Normal Procedure’’ of the AFM to 

incorporate the procedures for the flight 

crew to manually isolate the opposite 

functional engine in the event of an 

engine bleed duct large leak condition. 

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 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country and is 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 

in other products of the same type 

design.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 240 / Friday, December 13, 2024 / Proposed Rules 100925 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

Transport Canada AD CF–2024–30 

described previously, except for any 

differences identified as exceptions in 

the regulatory text of this proposed AD. 

Compliance With AFM Revisions 

Transport Canada AD CF–2024–30 

requires operators to ‘‘inform all flight 

crews’’ of revisions to the AFM, and 

thereafter to ‘‘operate the aeroplane 

accordingly.’’ However, this proposed 

AD does not specifically require those 

actions as those actions are already 

required by FAA regulations. FAA 

regulations require operators to furnish 

to pilots any changes to the AFM (for 

example, 14 CFR 121.137), and to 

ensure the pilots are familiar with the 

AFM (for example, 14 CFR 91.505). As 

with any other flight crew training 

requirement, training on the updated 

AFM content is tracked by the operators 

and recorded in each pilot’s training 

record, which is available for the FAA 

to review. FAA regulations also require 

pilots to follow the procedures in the 

existing AFM including all updates. 14 

CFR 91.9 requires that any person 

operating a civil aircraft must comply 

with the operating limitations specified 

in the AFM. Therefore, including a 

requirement in this proposed AD to 

operate the airplane according to the 

revised AFM would be redundant and 

unnecessary. 

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– 

2024–30 by reference in the FAA final 

rule. This proposed AD would, 

therefore, require compliance with 

Transport Canada AD CF–2024–30 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–2024–30 for 

compliance will be available at 

regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA– 

2024–2554 after the FAA final rule is 

published. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 132 

airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA 

estimates the following costs to comply 

with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 .............................................................................................. $0 $85 $11,220 

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.

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 Airbus SAS Model A300 series 

airplanes; Model A300 B4–600, B4– 

600R, and F4–600R series airplanes, and 

Model A300 C4–605R Variant F 

airplanes (collectively called Model 

A300–600 series airplanes); and Model 

A310 series airplanes. This proposed 

AD was prompted by investigations that 

found cracks on the main deck cargo 

door (MDCD) actuator bearing fitting 

caused by fatigue. This proposed AD 

would require an operational limitation 

to the MDCD opening angle, repetitive 

detailed visual inspection (DET) of the 

MDCD actuator bearing fittings, and 

replacement if any cracks are found, as 

specified in a European Union Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is 

proposed for incorporation by reference 

(IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by January 27, 

2025. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

regulations.gov. Follow the instructions 

for submitting comments.
