Part 121.
FAR Section 121.161

Operating under part 121, to remain non ETOPS, a TWO engine aircraft must not operate outside of 1 hour (430 NM for the 319/320) of a suitable airport (not shoreline - shoreline determines over water criteria - ETOPS and overwater are two separate issues.)

(OP was regarding a two engine airplane)

An aircraft with more than two engines can operate up to 180 minutes from a suitable airport and remain non-ETOPS.


Take care.
