At its January 2008 meeting, the NCUA Board issued an ANPR addressing several issues related to credit union mergers, conversion from a credit union charter, and account insurance termination, 73 FR 5461 (Jan. 30, 2008). The ANPR requested comment on whether NCUA should issue regulations to govern merger of a federally insured credit union (FICU) into, or a FICU’s conversion to, a financial institution other than a mutual savings bank, and whether NCUA should amend its regulations on mergers, charter conversions, and changes in account insurance. These transactions present issues affecting member rights and ownership interests, and the ANPR specifically requested comment on how NCUA regulations should address four categories of these issues: Management’s Duties, Member Right to Equity, Communications to Members, and Member Voting. NCUA received several oral requests to extend the comment period by 30 days. The Board believes a 30-day extension will facilitate submission of comments without causing undue delay to the rulemaking process. Accordingly, the comment period for the ANPR is extended until April 30, 2008. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By the National Credit Union Administration Board on February 20, 2008. Mary F. Rupp, Secretary of the Board. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); reopening of comment period. AGENCY: SUMMARY: We are revising an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 777–200, –200LR, –300, and –300ER series airplanes. The original NPRM would have required revising the Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness by incorporating new limitations for fuel tank systems to satisfy Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88 requirements. The original NPRM would also have required the initial performance of certain repetitive inspections specified in the AWLs to phase in those inspections, and repair if necessary. The original NPRM resulted from a design review of the fuel tank systems. This action revises the original NPRM by reducing the initial compliance time of certain repetitive inspections, adding more airplanes, and referring to new service information. We are proposing this supplemental NPRM to prevent the potential for ignition sources inside fuel tanks caused by latent failures, alterations, repairs, or maintenance actions, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane. DATES: We must receive comments on this supplemental NPRM by March 19, 2008.
