Further details about the first outreach meeting, including the agenda, are published on the EGRPRA Web site at https://egrpra.ffiec.gov/outreach/ outreach-index.html. Additional Background on EGRPRA Section 2222 of EGRPRA directs the Agencies, along with the Council, to conduct a review of their regulations not less frequently than once every ten years to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary regulatory requirements imposed on insured depository institutions. In conducting this review, the Agencies are required to categorize their regulations by type and, at regular intervals, provide notice and solicit public comment on categories of regulations, requesting commenters to identify areas of regulations that are outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome. The statute requires the Agencies to publish in the Federal Register a summary of the comments received, identifying significant issues raised and commenting on these issues. The statute also directs the Agencies to eliminate unnecessary regulations to the extent that such action is appropriate. Finally, section 2222 requires the Council, of which the Agencies are members, to submit a report to Congress that summarizes any significant issues raised in the public comments and the relative merits of such issues. The report also must include an analysis of whether the Agencies are able to E:\FR\FM\26NOP1.SGM 26NOP1 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 228 / Wednesday, November 26, 2014 / Proposed Rules address the regulatory burdens associated with such issues by regulation or whether these burdens must be addressed by legislative action. For purposes of this review, the Agencies have grouped our combined regulations into 12 categories: Applications and Reporting; Banking Operations; Capital; Community Reinvestment Act; Consumer Protection; Directors, Officers and Employees; International Operations; Money Laundering; Powers and Activities; Rules of Procedure; Safety and Soundness; and Securities. On June 4, 2014, we published a Federal Register notice asking for public comment on three of these categories—Applications and Reporting, Powers and Activities, and International Operations regulations.2 We also published a chart listing all of the regulations included in the EGRPRA review. Over the next eighteen months, we will publish additional notices, seeking comment on the remaining categories. Dated: November 20, 2014. Thomas J. Curry, Comptroller of the Currency.

The NPRM proposed to require SUMMARY: 2 79 FR 32172.

The NPRM was prompted by failure of the intermediate pressure (IP) turbine disk drive arm and subsequent overspeed and burst of the IP turbine disk on an RR RB211 Trent turbofan engine. This action revises the NPRM by clarifying the costs of compliance, by clarifying that correction of the unsafe condition can be achieved either by installing upgraded software in the EEC or by installing an EEC with upgraded software incorporated, and by clarifying the installation prohibition statement. We are proposing this supplemental NPRM (SNPRM) to prevent overspeed of the IP turbine disk, resulting in failure of the turbine blades or the IP turbine disk and subsequent uncontained release of the disk and/or turbine blades, which could lead to damage to the engine and damage to the airplane.

We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact with FAA personnel concerning this SNPRM. Discussion We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to the specified products. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on July 11, 2014 (79 FR 40018). The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. Actions Since Previous NPRM Was Issued Since we issued the NPRM (79 FR 40018, July 11, 2014), we found that we included a cost for parts in the Costs of Compliance paragraph. As this proposed AD requires an upgrade to EEC software, there are no associated parts costs. We changed the Costs of Compliance paragraph in this proposed AD by removing the reference to parts costs. We changed paragraph (e) of this proposed AD to more clearly state the requirement to modify affected engines either by installing upgraded software in the EEC, or by installing an EEC with upgraded software incorporated.

Additional Background on EGRPRA

    Section 2222 of EGRPRA directs the Agencies, along with the 
Council, to conduct a review of their regulations not less frequently 
than once every ten years to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary 
regulatory requirements imposed on insured depository institutions. In 
conducting this review, the Agencies are required to categorize their 
regulations by type and, at regular intervals, provide notice and 
solicit public comment on categories of regulations, requesting 
commenters to identify areas of regulations that are outdated, 
unnecessary, or unduly burdensome. The statute requires the Agencies to 
publish in the Federal Register a summary of the comments received, 
identifying significant issues raised and commenting on these issues. 
The statute also directs the Agencies to eliminate unnecessary 
regulations to the extent that such action is appropriate. Finally, 
section 2222 requires the Council, of which the Agencies are members, 
to submit a report to Congress that summarizes any significant issues 
raised in the public comments and the relative merits of such issues. 
The report also must include an analysis of whether the Agencies are 
able to

address the regulatory burdens associated with such issues by 
regulation or whether these burdens must be addressed by legislative 
action.
    For purposes of this review, the Agencies have grouped our combined 
regulations into 12 categories: Applications and Reporting; Banking 
Operations; Capital; Community Reinvestment Act; Consumer Protection; 
Directors, Officers and Employees; International Operations; Money 
Laundering; Powers and Activities; Rules of Procedure; Safety and 
Soundness; and Securities. On June 4, 2014, we published a Federal 
Register notice asking for public comment on three of these 
categories--Applications and Reporting, Powers and Activities, and 
International Operations regulations.\2\ We also published a chart 
listing all of the regulations included in the EGRPRA review. Over the 
next eighteen months, we will publish additional notices, seeking 
comment on the remaining categories.
