FAA rule change for charity flights?

Hi Guys, Another one of our local EAA members emailed me with news the
FAA is wanting to increase the total time a pilot has from 200 hours
to 500 before they can give rides in a plane. This was brought up
because our chapter is really active the the Young Eagles program and
some of the newest members are under the 500 hour mark. The comment
period has supposeably been extended 90 days. Any body else heard of
such a thing. Also they are wanting to cut out sightseeing flights
too.
