Supervision (OTS) is amending its
regulations to incorporate a number of
PO 00000

technical and conforming amendments.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 28, 2005.

Sandra E. Evans, Legal Information
Assistant (Regulations), (202) 906–6076,
Regulations and Legislation Division,
Chief Counsel’s Office, Office of Thrift
Supervision, 1700 G Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20552.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OTS is
amending its regulations to incorporate
a number of technical and conforming
amendments. OTS is making the
following miscellaneous changes:
• Part 510—Miscellaneous
Organizational Regulations. The final
rule revises OTS’ regulation on waiver
or relaxation of regulatory provisions
with respect to disaster or emergency
areas in § 510.2(b). The revision
indicates that OTS will make such
waivers by ‘‘order,’’ rather than by
‘‘resolution.’’ This update in
terminology better reflects the usual
method of operation of OTS, as
compared to that of its predecessor, the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
• Part 546—Federal Mutual Savings
Associations—Merger, Dissolution,
Reorganization, and Conversion. The
final rule removes the name of an office
that is no longer in existence and
corrects a grammatical error.
• Part 559—Subordinate
Organizations. The final rule adds
investments in rural business
investment companies (RBICs) to the list
of preapproved activities for federal
savings association service corporations.
This addition reflects the statutory
authority of savings associations to
make such investments under 7 U.S.C.
2009cc–9. It is consistent with the
inclusion of investments in small
business investment companies and
new market venture capital companies
on the list of preapproved activities
under the current rule.
• Part 560—Lending and Investment.
The final rule adds investments in
RBICs to the lending and investment
powers chart. This addition reflects the
statutory authority of savings
associations to establish and invest in
such entities, or any entity established
to invest solely in RBICs, up to five
percent of total capital and surplus
under 7 U.S.C. 2009cc–9.
• Part 561—Definitions for
Regulations Affecting All Savings
Associations. The final rule revises the
definition of ‘‘demand accounts’’ in
§ 561.16 to delete paragraph (b), remove
the designation for paragraph (a), and
make a grammatical change to the text
that was formerly designated as
E:\FR\FM\28DER1.SGM
28DER1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 248 / Wednesday, December 28, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
76675
paragraph (a). OTS is deleting paragraph
(b) for consistency with a November 28,
2005, Chief Counsel opinion. That
opinion concluded that the payment of
a certain type of finders’ fee would not
violate the prohibition against the
payment of interest on demand deposits
in section 5(b)(1)(B)(i) of the Home
Owners’ Loan Act, 12 U.S.C.
1464(b)(1)(B)(i), even though the fees in
question would not specifically fit the
exceptions indicated in paragraph (b).
Savings associations may, however,
continue to rely on the language in
paragraph (b) as two examples of
permissible types of finders’ fees.
• Part 567—Capital. The final rule
corrects a typographical error in
§ 567.6(b)(5)(v)(B).
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995
Authority: 12 U.S.C. 1462, 1462a, 1463,
1464, 1467a, 2901 et seq.
OTS has determined that the
requirements of this final rule will not
result in expenditures by State, local,
and tribal governments, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more
in any one year. Accordingly, a
budgetary impact statement is not
required under section 202 of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995.
§ 546.4
12 CFR Part 546

continues to read as follows:

12 CFR Part 559
I
OTS finds that there is good cause to
dispense with prior notice and comment
on this final rule and with the 30-day
delay of effective date mandated by the
Administrative Procedure Act.1 OTS
believes that these procedures are
unnecessary and contrary to public
interest because the rule merely makes
technical changes to existing provisions.
Because the amendments in the rule are
not substantive, these changes will not
affect savings associations.
Section 302 of the Riegle Community
Development and Regulatory
Improvement Act of 1994 provides that
regulations that impose additional
reporting, disclosure, or other new
requirements may not take effect before
the first day of the quarter following
publication.2 This section does not
apply because this final rule imposes no
additional requirements and makes only
technical changes to existing
regulations.

Background
SUMMARY: The FAA adopts a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for all
BURKHARDT GROB LUFT–UND
RAUMFAHRT GmbH & CO KG
(Burkhardt Grob) Model G103 TWIN
ASTIR sailplanes. This AD requires you
to replace the elevator lever, part
number (P/N) 103–3521, with an
improved design part, P/N 103–3523.
This AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information
(MCAI) issued by the airworthiness
authority for Germany. We are issuing
this AD to prevent cracks in the elevator
lever, which could cause the elevator
lever to fail. This failure could result in
loss of control of the sailplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective on
February 6, 2006.
As of February 6, 2006, the Director
of the Federal Register approved the
incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the regulation.
ADDRESSES: To get the service
information identified in this AD,
contact BURKHARDT GROB LUFT–
UND RAUMFAHRT GmbH & CO KG,
Letenbachstrasse 9, D–86874
Tussenhausen-Mattsies, Germany;
The purpose of the policy
memorandum is to clarify FAA
certification policy of the acceptable
substantiation methods used to provide
protection under § 25.562(a) when
meeting the performance standards in
§ 25.562(c) for ‘‘front row’’ seats. Front
row seats are those seats which are
located directly aft of a partition,
monument, or other commodity,
including all passenger seats not
considered ‘‘row-to-row.’’ The policy is
not directed toward other seats. The
policy provides an acceptable means of
protection for front row occupants.

Technical Amendments
AGENCY: Office of Thrift Supervision, Treasury.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) is amending its
regulations to incorporate a number of technical and conforming
amendments. They include clarifications and corrections of
typographical errors.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 28, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sandra E. Evans, Legal Information
Assistant (Regulations), (202) 906-6076, Regulations and Legislation
Division, Chief Counsel's Office, Office of Thrift Supervision, 1700 G
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20552.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OTS is amending its regulations to
incorporate a number of technical and conforming amendments. OTS is
making the following miscellaneous changes:
Part 510--Miscellaneous Organizational Regulations. The
final rule revises OTS' regulation on waiver or relaxation of
regulatory provisions with respect to disaster or emergency areas in
Sec. 510.2(b). The revision indicates that OTS will make such waivers
by ``order,'' rather than by ``resolution.'' This update in terminology
better reflects the usual method of operation of OTS, as compared to
that of its predecessor, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
Part 546--Federal Mutual Savings Associations--Merger,
Dissolution, Reorganization, and Conversion. The final rule removes the
name of an office that is no longer in existence and corrects a
grammatical error.
Part 559--Subordinate Organizations. The final rule adds
investments in rural business investment companies (RBICs) to the list
of preapproved activities for federal savings association service
corporations. This addition reflects the statutory authority of savings
associations to make such investments under 7 U.S.C. 2009cc-9. It is
consistent with the inclusion of investments in small business
investment companies and new market venture capital companies on the
list of preapproved activities under the current rule.
Part 560--Lending and Investment. The final rule adds
investments in RBICs to the lending and investment powers chart. This
addition reflects the statutory authority of savings associations to
establish and invest in such entities, or any entity established to
invest solely in RBICs, up to five percent of total capital and surplus
under 7 U.S.C. 2009cc-9.
Part 561--Definitions for Regulations Affecting All
Savings Associations. The final rule revises the definition of ``demand
accounts'' in Sec. 561.16 to delete paragraph (b), remove the
designation for paragraph (a), and make a grammatical change to the
text that was formerly designated as
[[Page 76675]]
paragraph (a). OTS is deleting paragraph (b) for consistency with a
November 28, 2005, Chief Counsel opinion. That opinion concluded that
the payment of a certain type of finders' fee would not violate the
prohibition against the payment of interest on demand deposits in
section 5(b)(1)(B)(i) of the Home Owners' Loan Act, 12 U.S.C.
1464(b)(1)(B)(i), even though the fees in question would not
specifically fit the exceptions indicated in paragraph (b). Savings
associations may, however, continue to rely on the language in
paragraph (b) as two examples of permissible types of finders' fees.
Part 567--Capital. The final rule corrects a typographical
error in Sec. 567.6(b)(5)(v)(B).
Administrative Procedure Act; Riegle Community Development and
Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994
OTS finds that there is good cause to dispense with prior notice
and comment on this final rule and with the 30-day delay of effective
date mandated by the Administrative Procedure Act.\1\ OTS believes that
these procedures are unnecessary and contrary to public interest
because the rule merely makes technical changes to existing provisions.
Because the amendments in the rule are not substantive, these changes
will not affect savings associations.

not result in expenditures by State, local, and tribal governments, or

Accordingly, a budgetary impact statement is not required under section
