| 2023-28294 | Air Plan Approval; WA; Excess Emissions, Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction Revisions | Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Washington, through the Department of Ecology on November 12, 2019. The revisions were submitted by Washington in response to EPA's June 12, 2015 "SIP call" in which EPA found a substantially inadequate Washington SIP provision providing affirmative defenses that operate to limit the jurisdiction of the Federal court in an enforcement action related to excess emissions during startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) events. EPA's approval of the SIP revisions removes the substantially inadequate provision which corrects the deficiency identified in the 2015 SSM SIP call. Washington withdrew some portions of the revisions submitted that were not identified in the 2015 SSM SIP call and therefore EPA is not taking final action on those withdrawn portions. | 2023-12-28 | 2023 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/28/2023-28294/air-plan-approval-wa-excess-emissions-startup-shutdown-and-malfunction-revisions | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-12-28/pdf/2023-28294.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Washington, through the Department of Ecology on November 12, 2019.

| 2023-28720 | Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters | Rule | The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-27- 09, which applied to certain Airbus Helicopters Model EC130T2 helicopters.

We are issuing this small entity compliance guide (SECG) in accordance with the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act to help small businesses understand and comply with the "Direct-to- Consumer Prescription Drug Advertisements: Presentation of the Major Statement in a Clear, Conspicuous, and Neutral Manner in Advertisements in Television and Radio Format Final Rule" (CCN Final Rule). The CCN Final Rule modifies FDA regulations to reflect the requirement in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) that human prescription drug advertisements presented directly to consumers (DTC) in television or radio format and stating the name of the drug and its conditions of use (DTC TV/radio ads) present the major statement relating to side effects and contraindications (major statement) in a clear, conspicuous, and neutral manner and establishes standards to help ensure this requirement is met.

| 2023-28549 | Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Engines | Rule | The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-25-04 for certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Model Trent 1000 engines. AD 2021-25-04 required operators to revise the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of their existing approved continuous airworthiness maintenance program by incorporating the revised tasks of the applicable time limits manual (TLM) for each affected model turbofan engine. Since the FAA issued AD 2021-05-04, the manufacturer revised the TLM to introduce new or more restrictive tasks and limitations and associated thresholds and intervals for life-limited parts, which prompted this AD. This AD requires revising the ALS of the operator's existing approved engine maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive tasks and limitations and associated thresholds and intervals for life-limited parts, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2023-12-27 | 2023 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/27/2023-28549/airworthiness-directives-rolls-royce-deutschland-ltd-and-co-kg-engines | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-12-27/pdf/2023-28549.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-25-04 for certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Model Trent 1000 engines.

| 2023-28555 | Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustment | Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is promulgating this final rule to adjust the level of the maximum (and minimum) statutory civil monetary penalty amounts under the statutes the EPA administers. This action is mandated by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended through the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 ("the 2015 Act"). The 2015 Act prescribes a formula for annually adjusting the statutory maximum (and minimum) amount of civil monetary penalties to reflect inflation, maintain the deterrent effect of statutory civil monetary penalties, and promote compliance with the law. The rule does not establish specific civil monetary penalty amounts the EPA may seek in particular cases. The EPA calculates those amounts, as appropriate, based on the facts of particular cases and applicable agency penalty policies. The EPA's civil penalty policies, which guide enforcement personnel on how to exercise the EPA's discretion within statutory penalty authorities, take into account a number of fact-specific considerations, e.g., the seriousness of the violation, the violator's good faith efforts to comply, any economic benefit gained by the violator as a result of its noncompliance, and the violator's ability to pay. | 2023-12-27 | 2023 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/27/2023-28555/civil-monetary-penalty-inflation-adjustment | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-12-27/pdf/2023-28555.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is promulgating this final rule to adjust the level of the maximum (and minimum) statutory civil monetary penalty amounts under the statutes the EPA administers.

| 2023-28076 | Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z) Adjustment to Asset-Size Exemption Threshold | Rule | The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is amending the official commentary to its Regulation Z in order to make annual adjustments to the asset-size thresholds exempting certain creditors from the requirement to establish an escrow account for a higher-priced mortgage loan (HPML). These changes reflect updates to the exemption from the escrow requirement in the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) for creditors that, together with their affiliates that regularly extended covered transactions secured by first liens, had total assets of less than $2 billion (adjusted annually for inflation). They also reflect updates to the exemption the CFPB added, by implementing section 108 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA), for certain insured depository institutions and insured credit unions with assets of $10 billion or less (adjusted annually for inflation). These amendments are based on the annual percentage change in the average of the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). Based on the 4.1 percent increase in the average of the CPI-W for the 12-month period ending in November 2023, the exemption threshold for creditors and their affiliates that regularly extended covered transactions secured by first liens is adjusted to $2.640 billion from $2.537 billion and the exemption threshold for certain insured depository institutions and insured credit unions with assets of $10 billion or less is adjusted to $11.835 billion from $11.374 billion. | 2023-12-21 | 2023 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/21/2023-28076/truth-in-lending-act-regulation-z-adjustment-to-asset-size-exemption-threshold | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-12-21/pdf/2023-28076.pdf | Consumer Financial Protection Bureau | 573 | The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is amending the official commentary to its Regulation Z in order to make annual adjustments to the asset-size thresholds exempting certain creditors from the requirement to establish an escrow account for... |

Based on the 4.1 percent increase in the average of the CPI-W for the 12- month period ending in November 2023, the exemption threshold is adjusted to $56 million from $54 million. Therefore, banks, savings associations, and credit unions with assets of $56 million or less as of December 31, 2023, are exempt from collecting data in 2024. | 2023-12-21 | 2023 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/21/2023-28079/home-mortgage-disclosure-regulation-c-adjustment-to-asset-size-exemption-threshold | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-12-21/pdf/2023-28079.pdf | Consumer Financial Protection Bureau | 573 | The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is amending the official commentary that interprets the requirements of the CFPB's Regulation C (Home Mortgage Disclosure) to reflect the asset-size exemption threshold for banks, savings associations,... |
