Notification to Members/Shareholders
The NCUA Board (Board) solicits public comment on a proposal to streamline the methods a federally insured credit union (FICU) may use to provide its members with notice of share insurance coverage. The current regulation is overly prescriptive, mandating that a FICU make available hard copies of certain prescribed materials. While a FICU would still be required to provide notice to members, the proposed rule would defer to the FICU on the method used for such notification. Among other methods, a FICU may elect to provide members with a link to updated online resources that will be maintained on the NCUA website. The Board believes the proposed rule will provide greater flexibility, reduce compliance costs for both NCUA and FICUs, and ensure that members are provided with up-to-date information regarding share insurance coverage.

Nonconforming Investment Special Reserve
The NCUA Board (Board) is proposing to amend its regulations governing the requirements for federal share insurance. This action would remove the requirement for federally insured, state-chartered credit unions to establish a special reserve for certain investments that are beyond those authorized for federally chartered credit unions. The intended effect is to reduce unnecessary compliance and administrative burdens for state-chartered insured credit unions without diminishing the agency's ability to protect the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund.
Conversion to State-Chartered Credit Union
The NCUA Board (Board) solicits public comment on a proposal to remove a regulatory provision regarding the process for maintaining federal share insurance following the conversion of a federal credit union (FCU) to a state charter. The provision is unnecessarily duplicative of a similar provision contained in NCUA's Chartering and Field of Membership Manual (Manual), and is outdated, having been superseded by amendments to the Manual.
Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Modify Groundfish Season Timing in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska Groundfish Fisheries
NMFS proposes two technical revisions to regulations for the opening and closing times of groundfish fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and Gulf of Alaska (GOA) management areas. First, this proposed rule would authorize NMFS to determine the opening and closing times for the sablefish Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) and Community Development Quota (CDQ) fishing season, taking into consideration the halibut IFQ/CDQ season set by the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC). Second, this proposed rule would allow NMFS flexibility to change the time of day for closing a groundfish fishery. This proposed rule is necessary to minimize regulatory discards, reduce uncertainty for fishery participants, and enable fuller utilization and more precise limitation of allowable harvest. This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson- Stevens Act), the Fishery Management Plan for the Groundfish of the BSAI Management Area (BSAI FMP) and the Fishery Management Plan for the Groundfish Fisheries of the GOA (GOA FMP), and other applicable laws.

Hours of Service of Drivers: Association of American Railroads and American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association; Application for Exemption Renewal
FMCSA announces its final decision to renew and modify the exemption granted to the Association of American Railroads and the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association and member railroads (the Associations) from the hours-of-service (HOS) prohibitions against driving after the 14th hour after coming on duty (the 14-hour rule) and against driving after accumulating 60 hours of on duty time within 7 consecutive days, or 70 hours of on duty time within 8 consecutive days (the 60-hour/70-hour rule). The exemption will enable covered drivers to respond to unplanned events that occur outside of, or extend beyond, their normal work hours. FMCSA modifies the previous exemption to limit the categories of unplanned events during which the exemption may be used and to add reporting requirements. In addition, only drivers operating for motor carriers listed in the Appendix to this decision may operate under the exemption. FMCSA has analyzed the exemption application and has determined that the exemption renewal, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, is likely to achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved in the absence of the exemption.
