There is an op/ed piece in this months avnonline that pretty well sums up the probable reason that the new changes were drafted.
Ashhahahahaha was called in before Congress to report on the progress of 2257 inspections (in force since 1988). He basically had to report nothing, nada, zilch. But he had the new draft regs in hand and used the excuse that the current regs didn't cover things properly. So he basically was saying "Well, we haven't done inspections because the current rules aren't good enough, but if I have these rules we'll be able to get them done."
So, whether there will be a big old round of inspections to come or not is yet to be seen. These changes were simply a CYA move on the DOJ's part.
(imho of course)
