Unless I'm mistaken, FAR 121 still has the 60 minute ETOPS rule in effect. There is a proposal to extend that, but I haven't seen where it would be extended beyond 180 minutes for 3 or 4 engine aircraft. The twins would be extended to 120, I think.

Boeing - 757 & 767 were the first EROPS -> ETOPS airplanes - Boeing developed the requirements that the FAA codified into the regs. Boeing saw the handwriting on the wall concerning fuel prices ..757 was borne out of the 1970's fuel shock
777 completed a 14 hour round the world distance record recently..

The FAA in 1953, having recognised piston engine limitations, introduced the '60-minute rule' for 2 engine aircraft. This rule states that the flight path of these types of aircraft shall not be further than 60 minutes' flying time from an adequate airport. This forced these aircraft, on certain routes, to fly a dogleg path to stay within regulations; they were totally excluded from certain routes due to lack of en-route airports. The 60-minute period is also called 60-minute diversion period. The totally excluded area is called the Exclusion Zone.
