    USMS automatically follows FINA unless the board votes not to(which they did after FINA outlawed the B-70 in a very ambiguous way.) I don't have any inside info but I suspect USMS will follow FINA if the rule seems fair.FINA can say they don't care about Masters,but then 2 min later they may change there mind so the safest thing to do is follow FINA rules(stupid as they may be.) It would be best for USMS to implement the changes in May of 2010 after SCY season. Those swims do not matter in terms of FINA records and switching the rules in the middle of the season is always a bad idea.
