I cannot disclose my source but there is a missed legal agreement in place which would require the FAA make changes themselves for it to happen.
Even EASA have to comply with the Law or they themselves end up in court which would happen on a number of issues which are against EU law anyway.
Would the FAA facilitate? My guess yes on the basis of you scratch my back I scratch yours.
Regardless from what I know i do not think 2014 will happen. There will be an extension to 2016.
