Federal Register #3064-AG34

FAA Directive for Bell 429 Helicopter Door Assembly; FDIC Proposed Rule on State Bank Parity

This opportunity includes two distinct regulatory actions by federal agencies:

• Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Proposed Rule

  • Seeks to establish parity between out-of-State State banks and national banks regarding the application of host State laws when providing services outside their chartering State
  • Clarifies that host State laws apply to out-of-State State banks in the same way as to national banks, regardless of branch presence
  • Addresses legal uncertainty, notably in response to Illinois' Interchange Fee Prohibition Act (IFPA), impacting over 3,000 State banks
  • No procurement of products or services; this is a regulatory notice requesting public comment

• Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive

  • Targets Bell Textron Canada Limited Model 429 helicopters
  • Requires inspection and modification of sliding door lower aft roller assemblies (part number 429-030-897-101) to prevent door jamming
  • Highlights Bell Textron Canada as the OEM
  • Focuses on aviation safety and compliance for operators of the specified helicopter model

Notable Details: - Bell Textron Canada is the primary OEM for the helicopter component addressed - No vendors or resellers are specified - No contract value or period of performance is defined, as this is a regulatory directive, not a procurement

Description

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is proposing amendments to its regulations to establish parity between out-of-State State banks and national banks regarding the application of host State laws when State banks provide services outside their chartering State. The proposed rule clarifies that host State laws apply to any branch or services provided in the host State by an out-of-State State bank to the same extent as they apply to an out-of-State national bank. This rule aims to address legal uncertainty and ensure a level playing field between State banks and national banks, particularly in light of evolving banking practices such as mobile banking. Comments on the proposed rule are due by November 23, 2026.
