emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
interest. We have determined that this
standard is satisfied.
Hurricane Sandy left death and
massive destruction in its wake. Many
of the people in the storm’s path
continue to be exposed both to the
elements (just as colder weather has
arrived) and to inherently hazardous
conditions where they are located and
are thus in immediate need of
emergency assistance. FEMA is playing
a major role, working with state and
local partners, to provide this
assistance. Therefore, the federal
government has a critical need to deploy
additional qualified emergency response
workers to serve the American people.
Moreover, emergency response
workers are voluntarily exposing
themselves to hazardous working
conditions every day. They have a need
for health insurance coverage to obtain
preventive care, to allow for early
detection of potentially serious
conditions, and to address any health
issues that may arise as a result of their
service. The regulatory obstacle
preventing such agencies as FEMA from
submitting a request for FEHBP
coverage of these men and women
should thus be eliminated without
delay.
Because of these conditions, OPM has
determined that it would be
impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to the public interest to delay
putting the provisions of this interim
final regulation in place until a public
notice and comment process has been
completed. We find good cause to waive
the notice of proposed rulemaking and
to issue this final rule on an interim
basis. We will accept public comments
on this interim final rule for 60 days.
We are also dispensing with the usual
requirement that a new rule not take
effect until 30 days after it is issued.
Instead, this rule is effective
immediately upon public display.
Immediate effectiveness is authorized
because this is a substantive rule
granting an exception to the prohibition
on providing health insurance coverage
to intermittent employees. See 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(1). Moreover, for the reasons set
forth above, there is good cause to make
this rule effective immediately.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
I certify that this regulation will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
because the regulation only adds
additional groups to the list of groups
eligible for coverage under FEHB.

Protection.
ACTION: Correcting amendments.
AGENCY:
Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) and the
Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), as
amended, the Bureau of Consumer
Financial Protection (Bureau) published
for public comment an interim final rule
establishing a new Regulation V (Fair
Credit Reporting) on December 21, 2011.
This document corrects typographical
and other technical errors in
Appendices I, K, M, and N of the
interim final rule, which contain model
forms.
DATES: These corrections are effective
November 14, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Monica Jackson, Bureau of Consumer
Financial Protection, 1700 G Street NW.,
Washington, DC 20552, at (202) 435–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
On December 21, 2011, the Bureau
published in the Federal Register an
interim final rule with request for public
comment (76 FR 79307) establishing 12
CFR part 1022, Fair Credit Reporting
(Regulation V), which implements the
provisions of the FCRA for which the
Bureau has rulemaking authority
pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act. The
interim final rule includes, among other
things, model forms in Appendices I
(Summary of Consumer Identity Theft
Rights), K (Summary of Consumer
Rights), M (Notice of Furnisher
Responsibilities), and N (Notice of User
Responsibilities). As discussed in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION to the
interim final rule, Appendices I, K, M,
and N of the interim final rule were
intended to substantially duplicate the
Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC’s)
Appendices E, F, G, and H to 16 CFR
part 698, respectively, with only certain
non-substantive, technical, formatting,
and stylistic changes. The model forms
in Appendices I, K, M, and N to the
Bureau’s interim final rule contain
several typographical or other technical
errors. This document corrects those
errors and more closely conforms the
E:\FR\FM\14NOR1.SGM
14NOR1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 220 / Wednesday, November 14, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
formatting of the Bureau’s Appendices
to those of the FTC.
Among the corrections are the
following: Appendix I contained several
erroneous references to the FTC and its
Web site, which have been updated in
this document to refer to the Bureau and
its Web site. The addresses in Appendix
K for contacting the Assistant General
Counsel for Aviation Enforcement and
Proceedings and the Surface
Transportation Board have been
updated. Typographical errors in the
Spanish language translation at the top
of Appendices I and K have also been
corrected. Appendices M and N have
been updated to reflect the
promulgation of guidelines and
regulations addressing certain
obligations of furnishers and users of
consumer reports.
To mitigate the impact of these
changes on users of the model forms in
the Bureau’s Appendices I, K, M, and N
published December 21, 2011, the
Bureau will regard the use of those
model forms to constitute compliance
with the FCRA provisions requiring
such forms and will regard those forms
to be substantially similar to the
corrected forms published today, until
further notice. The Bureau anticipates
providing that further, notice along with
ample time to allow for the orderly
discontinuation of the December 21,
2011 model forms, when it issues a final
rule to restate Regulation V in 2013.

II. Basis for the Corrections
In issuing the Bureau’s Regulation V
as an interim final rule, the Bureau
found good cause to conclude that
providing notice and opportunity for
comment was unnecessary and contrary
to the public interest. See 76 FR 79308,
79310 (Dec. 21, 2011). The Bureau also
finds that there is good cause to publish
these corrections without seeking public
comment. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). Public
comment is unnecessary because the
Bureau is correcting inadvertent,
technical errors about which there is
minimal, if any, basis for substantive
disagreement.
The Bureau also finds good cause to
dispense with a 30-day delay of
effective date. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d). The
Bureau believes that a delay is
unnecessary and contrary to the public
interest because the Bureau is merely
making technical corrections to existing
model forms. The Bureau will continue
to regard the use of the model forms in
the Bureau’s Appendices I, K, M, and N
published December 21, 2011, to
constitute compliance with the FCRA
provisions requiring such forms and
will regard those forms to be
substantially similar to the corrected
forms published today, until further
notice.

This AD was prompted by 16 reports of
damaged or failed 3rd stage lowpressure turbine (LPT) duct segments.
This AD requires removing from service
certain part numbers (P/Ns) of 3rd stage
LPT duct segments. We are issuing this
AD to prevent failure of the 3rd stage
LPT duct segments, which could lead to
LPT rotor damage, uncontained engine
failure, and damage to the airplane.

We do not agree. The AD applicability
is for PW4000 engines with certain P/N
3rd stage LPT duct segments installed.
Although the Pratt & Whitney Service
Bulletin does list engine serial numbers,
it is not necessary to include this
information in the AD. We did not
change the AD.
Discussion
Conclusion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to the specified products. That
NPRM published in the Federal
We reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comments received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
as proposed.

BUREAU OF CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION
12 CFR Part 1022
[Docket No. CFPB-2012-0041]
RIN 3170-AA06
Fair Credit Reporting (Regulation V); Correction
AGENCY: Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.
ACTION: Correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act
(FCRA), as amended, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection
(Bureau) published for public comment an interim final rule
establishing a new Regulation V (Fair Credit Reporting) on December 21,
2011. This document corrects typographical and other technical errors
in Appendices I, K, M, and N of the interim final rule, which contain
model forms.
DATES: These corrections are effective November 14, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Monica Jackson, Bureau of Consumer
Financial Protection, 1700 G Street NW., Washington, DC 20552, at (202)
435-7000.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On December 21, 2011, the Bureau published in the Federal Register
an interim final rule with request for public comment (76 FR 79307)
establishing 12 CFR part 1022, Fair Credit Reporting (Regulation V),
which implements the provisions of the FCRA for which the Bureau has
rulemaking authority pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act. The interim final
rule includes, among other things, model forms in Appendices I (Summary
of Consumer Identity Theft Rights), K (Summary of Consumer Rights), M
(Notice of Furnisher Responsibilities), and N (Notice of User
Responsibilities). As discussed in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION to the
interim final rule, Appendices I, K, M, and N of the interim final rule
were intended to substantially duplicate the Federal Trade Commission's
(FTC's) Appendices E, F, G, and H to 16 CFR part 698, respectively,
with only certain non-substantive, technical, formatting, and stylistic
changes. The model forms in Appendices I, K, M, and N to the Bureau's
interim final rule contain several typographical or other technical
errors. This document corrects those errors and more closely conforms
the
[[Page 67745]]
formatting of the Bureau's Appendices to those of the FTC.
Among the corrections are the following: Appendix I contained
several erroneous references to the FTC and its Web site, which have
been updated in this document to refer to the Bureau and its Web site.
The addresses in Appendix K for contacting the Assistant General
Counsel for Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings and the Surface
Transportation Board have been updated. Typographical errors in the
Spanish language translation at the top of Appendices I and K have also
been corrected. Appendices M and N have been updated to reflect the
promulgation of guidelines and regulations addressing certain
obligations of furnishers and users of consumer reports.
To mitigate the impact of these changes on users of the model forms
in the Bureau's Appendices I, K, M, and N published December 21, 2011,
the Bureau will regard the use of those model forms to constitute
compliance with the FCRA provisions requiring such forms and will
regard those forms to be substantially similar to the corrected forms
published today, until further notice. The Bureau anticipates providing
that further, notice along with ample time to allow for the orderly
discontinuation of the December 21, 2011 model forms, when it issues a
final rule to restate Regulation V in 2013.
II. Basis for the Corrections
In issuing the Bureau's Regulation V as an interim final rule, the
Bureau found good cause to conclude that providing notice and
opportunity for comment was unnecessary and contrary to the public
interest. See 76 FR 79308, 79310 (Dec. 21, 2011). The Bureau also finds
that there is good cause to publish these corrections without seeking
public comment. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). Public comment is unnecessary
because the Bureau is correcting inadvertent, technical errors about
which there is minimal, if any, basis for substantive disagreement.
The Bureau also finds good cause to dispense with a 30-day delay of
effective date. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d). The Bureau believes that a delay
is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest because the Bureau
is merely making technical corrections to existing model forms. The
Bureau will continue to regard the use of the model forms in the
Bureau's Appendices I, K, M, and N published December 21, 2011, to
constitute compliance with the FCRA provisions requiring such forms and
will regard those forms to be substantially similar to the corrected
forms published today, until further notice.
List of Subjects in 12 CFR Part 1022

Reporting Act, Holding companies, National banks, Privacy, Reporting

Accordingly, 12 CFR part 1022 is amended by making the following

Appendix I to Part 1022--Summary of Consumer Identity Theft Rights
The prescribed form for this summary is a disclosure that is
substantially similar to the Bureau's model summary with all
information clearly and prominently displayed. A summary should
accurately reflect changes to those items that may change over time

model, provided that the translation is accurate and that it is
provided in a language used by the recipient consumer.

conspicuous way. A summary should accurately reflect changes to
those items that may change over time (e.g., dollar amounts, or
telephone numbers and addresses of Federal agencies) to remain in
compliance. Translations of this summary will be in compliance with
the Bureau's prescribed model, provided that the translation is
accurate and that it is provided in a language used by the recipient
consumer.
