SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EGRPRA 1 directs the Agencies, along with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (Council), not less frequently than once every ten years, to conduct a review of their regulations to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary regulations imposed on insured depository institutions. As part of this review, the Agencies are holding a series of six outreach meetings to provide an opportunity for bankers, consumer and community groups, and other interested persons to present their views directly to senior management and staff of the Agencies on any of 12 specific categories of the Agencies’ regulations, as further described below. The Agencies held the first of these outreach meetings on December 2, 2014, in Los Angeles, California, and the second outreach meeting on February 4, 2015, in Dallas, Texas.2 Additional details about the first two outreach meetings, including the agendas, are available on the EGRPRA Web site at https://egrpra.ffiec.gov/outreach/ outreach-index.html. The third outreach meeting will be held on May 4, 2015, in Boston, Massachusetts and will be streamed live at https://egrpra.ffiec.gov/.

There will be limited time after each panel for comments from meeting attendees. In addition, there will be a session at the end of the meeting during which audience members may present views on any of the regulations under review. The Agencies reserve the right to limit the time of individual commenters, if needed, in order to accommodate the number of persons desiring to speak. Comments made by panelists and audience members at this meeting will be reflected in the public comment file. Audience members who do not wish to comment orally may submit written comments at the meeting. As noted above, any interested person may submit comments through the EGRPRA Web site during open comment periods at: https://egrpra.ffiec.gov/submitcomment/submit-comment-index.html or directly to the Agencies through any of the other manners specified above. All participants should register for the Boston outreach meeting at https:// egrpra.ffiec.gov/outreach/outreachindex.html. Because of space constraints, on-site attendance will be limited. Online registrations will be accepted through April 27, 2015, or until all seats are filled, whichever is earlier. If seats are available, individuals may register in person at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston on the day of the meeting. Individuals do not need to register to view the live-stream broadcast. We note that the meeting will be video-recorded and publicly webcast in order to increase education and outreach. By participating in person at the meeting, you consent to appear in such recordings. Additional Background on EGRPRA Section 2222 of EGRPRA directs the Agencies, along with the Council, to conduct a review of their regulations not less frequently than once every ten years to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary regulatory requirements imposed on insured depository institutions. In conducting this review, the Agencies are required to categorize their regulations by type and, at regular intervals, provide notice and solicit public comment on categories of regulations, requesting commenters to identify areas of regulations that are outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome. The statute requires the Agencies to publish in the Federal Register a summary of the comments received, identifying significant issues raised and commenting on these issues. The statute also directs the Agencies to E:\FR\FM\15APP1.SGM 15APP1 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 72 / Wednesday, April 15, 2015 / Proposed Rules eliminate unnecessary regulations to the extent that such action is appropriate. Finally, section 2222 requires the Council, of which the Agencies are members, to submit a report to Congress that summarizes any significant issues raised in the public comments and the relative merits of such issues. The report also must include an analysis of whether the Agencies are able to address the regulatory burdens associated with such issues by regulation or whether these burdens must be addressed by legislative action. For purposes of this review, the Agencies have grouped our regulations into 12 categories: Applications and Reporting; Banking Operations; Capital; Community Reinvestment Act; Consumer Protection; Directors, Officers and Employees; International Operations; Money Laundering; Powers and Activities; Rules of Procedure; Safety and Soundness; and Securities. On June 4, 2014, we published a Federal Register notice announcing the start of the EGRPRA review process and also asking for public comment on three of these categories—Applications and Reporting; Powers and Activities; and International Operations regulations.3 In that notice we published a chart, listing the Agencies’ regulations in the 12 categories included in the EGRPRA review. On February 13, 2015, we published a Federal Register notice asking for public comment on three additional categories—Banking Operations; Capital; and the Community Reinvestment Act.4 The comment period for the current Federal Register notice closes on May 14, 2015. Recently, the Agencies have decided to expand the scope of the EGRPRA review in order to be as inclusive as possible. Accordingly, the Agencies will take comment on all of our regulations issued in final form up to the date that we publish our last EGRPRA notice for public comment and report back to the Congress on all such regulations.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). AGENCY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes modified by a particular supplemental type certificate (STC). This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracks found during inspections of the in-flight entertainment system radome assembly. This proposed AD would require repetitive detailed inspections for cracks in the radome assembly, and replacement of the radome if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracks in the radome assembly, which could result in the radome (or pieces) separating from the airplane and striking the tail, consequently reducing the controllability of the airplane. DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by June 1, 2015.

    The third outreach meeting will be held on May 4, 2015, in Boston, 
Massachusetts and will be streamed live at https://egrpra.ffiec.gov/. 
Senior agency staff from the Board, OCC, and FDIC are scheduled to 
attend. The meeting will consist of panels of bankers and consumer and 
community groups who will present particular issues. There will be 
limited time after each panel for comments from meeting attendees. In 
addition, there will be a session at the end of the meeting during 
which audience members may present views on any of the regulations 
under review. The Agencies reserve the right to limit the time of 
individual commenters, if needed, in order to accommodate the number of 
persons desiring to speak.
    Comments made by panelists and audience members at this meeting 
will be reflected in the public comment file. Audience members who do 
not wish to comment orally may submit written comments at the meeting. 
As noted above, any interested person may submit comments through the 
EGRPRA Web site during open comment periods at: https://egrpra.ffiec.gov/submit-comment/submit-comment-index.html or directly 
to the Agencies through any of the other manners specified above.
    All participants should register for the Boston outreach meeting at 
https://egrpra.ffiec.gov/outreach/outreach-index.html. Because of space 
constraints, on-site attendance will be limited. Online registrations 
will be accepted through April 27, 2015, or until all seats are filled, 
whichever is earlier. If seats are available, individuals may register 
in person at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston on the day of the 
meeting. Individuals do not need to register to view the live-stream 
broadcast.
    We note that the meeting will be video-recorded and publicly 
webcast in order to increase education and outreach. By participating 
in person at the meeting, you consent to appear in such recordings.

Additional Background on EGRPRA

    Section 2222 of EGRPRA directs the Agencies, along with the 
Council, to conduct a review of their regulations not less frequently 
than once every ten years to identify outdated or otherwise unnecessary 
regulatory requirements imposed on insured depository institutions. In 
conducting this review, the Agencies are required to categorize their 
regulations by type and, at regular intervals, provide notice and 
solicit public comment on categories of regulations, requesting 
commenters to identify areas of regulations that are outdated, 
unnecessary, or unduly burdensome. The statute requires the Agencies to 
publish in the Federal Register a summary of the comments received, 
identifying significant issues raised and commenting on these issues. 
The statute also directs the Agencies to

[[Page 20175]]

eliminate unnecessary regulations to the extent that such action is 
appropriate. Finally, section 2222 requires the Council, of which the 
Agencies are members, to submit a report to Congress that summarizes 
any significant issues raised in the public comments and the relative 
merits of such issues. The report also must include an analysis of 
whether the Agencies are able to address the regulatory burdens 
associated with such issues by regulation or whether these burdens must 
be addressed by legislative action.
    For purposes of this review, the Agencies have grouped our 
regulations into 12 categories: Applications and Reporting; Banking 
Operations; Capital; Community Reinvestment Act; Consumer Protection; 
Directors, Officers and Employees; International Operations; Money 
Laundering; Powers and Activities; Rules of Procedure; Safety and 
Soundness; and Securities. On June 4, 2014, we published a Federal 
Register notice announcing the start of the EGRPRA review process and 
also asking for public comment on three of these categories--
Applications and Reporting; Powers and Activities; and International 
Operations regulations.\3\ In that notice we published a chart, listing 
the Agencies' regulations in the 12 categories included in the EGRPRA 
review. On February 13, 2015, we published a Federal Register notice 
asking for public comment on three additional categories--Banking 
Operations; Capital; and the Community Reinvestment Act.\4\ The comment 
period for the current Federal Register notice closes on May 14, 2015.

    Recently, the Agencies have decided to expand the scope of the 
EGRPRA review in order to be as inclusive as possible. Accordingly, the 
Agencies will take comment on all of our regulations issued in final 
form up to the date that we publish our last EGRPRA notice for public 
comment and report back to the Congress on all such regulations.
