SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 18, 2010, the NCUA Board issued proposed amendments to its rule governing corporate credit unions (corporates) contained in part 704. The amendments include internal control and reporting requirements for corporates similar to those required for banks under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The amendments require each corporate to establish an enterprisewide risk management committee staffed with at least one risk management expert. The amendments provide for the equitable sharing of Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund expenses among all members of corporates, including both credit union and noncredit union members. The amendments increase the transparency of decision-making by requiring corporates conduct all board of director votes as recorded votes and include the votes of individual directors in the meeting minutes. The amendments permit corporates to charge their members reasonable onetime or periodic membership fees as necessary to facilitate retained earnings growth. For senior corporate executives who are dual employees of corporate credit union service organizations (CUSOs), the amendments require disclosure of certain compensation VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:04 Dec 03, 2010 Jkt 223001 received from the corporate CUSO. In addition, this proposal would amend parts 701 and 741 to limit natural person credit unions to membership in one corporate credit union at any particular time and provide that a natural person credit union may not make any investment in a corporate credit union of which the natural person credit union is not also a member. 75 FR 73000 (November 29, 2010). NCUA requested comments on its proposal and set a 30-day comment period, originally scheduled to end on December 29, 2010. NCUA has received a request to extend the comment period. The NCUA Board believes a 30-day extension will facilitate the submission of comments without causing undue delay to the rulemaking process. Accordingly, the comment period is extended and comments must now be received by January 28, 2011. By the National Credit Union Administration Board on November 29, 2010. Mary F. Rupp, Secretary of the Board.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Securities and Exchange Commission is proposing an amendment to temporary rule 206(3)–3T [17 CFR 275.206(3)–3T] under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 [15 U.S.C. 80b] that would extend the date on which the rule will sunset from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2012. I. Background On September 24, 2007, we adopted, on an interim final basis, rule 206(3)– 3T, a temporary rule under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the ‘‘Advisers Act’’) that provides an alternative means for investment advisers who are registered with us as broker-dealers to meet the requirements of section 206(3) of the Advisers Act when they act in a principal capacity in transactions with certain of their advisory clients.1 The purpose of the rule was to permit broker-dealers to sell to their advisory clients, in the wake of Financial Planning Association v. SEC (the ‘‘FPA Decision’’),2 certain securities held in the proprietary accounts of their firms that might not be available on an agency basis—or might be available on an agency basis only on less attractive terms3 — while protecting clients from 1 Rule 206(3)–3T [17 CFR 275.206(3)–3T]. All references to rule 206(3)–3T and the various sections thereof in this release are to 17 CFR 275.206(3)–3T and its corresponding sections. See also Temporary Rule Regarding Principal Trades with Certain Advisory Clients, Investment Advisers Act Release No. 2653 (Sep. 24, 2007) [72 FR 55022 (Sep. 28, 2007)] (‘‘2007 Principal Trade Rule Release’’). 2 482 F.3d 481 (DC Cir. 2007). In the FPA Decision, handed down on March 30, 2007, the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit vacated (subject to a subsequent stay until October 1, 2007) rule 202(a)(11)–1 under the Advisers Act. Rule 202(a)(11)–1 provided, among other things, that feebased brokerage accounts were not advisory accounts and were thus not subject to the Advisers Act.

Background

    On November 5, 2010 the FAA published a Notice of Proposed Policy, 
entitled Policy Clarifying Definition of ``Actively Engaged'' for the 
Purpose of Inspector Authorization. (75 FR 68249, Docket No. FAA-2010-
1060.) Comments to that document were to be received on or before 
December 6, 2010.
    By letter dated November 16, 2010, the Experimental Aircraft 
Association (EAA) requested an extension of the comment period to 
January 17, 2011. By letter dated November 22, 2010, the Aircraft 
Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) requested a 60-day extension of 
the comment period. Both petitioners stated the additional time is 
necessary to fully investigate the proposal's potential negative impact 
on the industry and because of the impact of upcoming holidays on their 
opportunity to provide meaningful comments.

Extension of Comment Period

    In accordance with Sec.  11.47(c) of Title 14, Code of Federal 
Regulations, the FAA has reviewed the petitions for extension by EAA 
and AOPA. The FAA agrees with the petitioners that an opportunity for 
meaningful comment is in the public interest. However, the FAA does not 
support extending the comment period by 60 days. This proposed policy 
does not constitute a significant change from current FAA policy 
regarding inspector authorization but is merely a clarification of that 
policy as stated in the Notice of Proposed Policy.
    The FAA supports an extension to January 17, 2011 to allow 
additional time to investigate and develop meaningful comments in light 
of the holiday schedule. The FAA has determined that an extension of 
the comment period is consistent with the public interest, and that 
good cause exists for taking this action.
    Accordingly, the comment period for this Notice of Proposed Policy 
is extended until January 17, 2011. Absent unusual circumstances, the 
FAA does not anticipate any further extension of the comment period.
