Federal Housing Finance Agency 

Order Nos. 2014–OR–B–3, 2014–OR– 

FNMA–2, and 2014–OR–FHLMC–2 

ORDER ON REPORTING BY 

REGULATED ENTITIES OF STRESS 

TESTING RESULTS AS OF 

SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 

Whereas, section 165(i)(2) of the 

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 

Consumer Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank 

Act’’) requires certain financial 

companies with total consolidated 

assets of more than $10 billion, and 

which are regulated by a primary 

Federal financial regulatory agency, to 

conduct annual stress tests to determine 

whether the companies have the capital 

necessary to absorb losses as a result of 

adverse economic conditions; 

Whereas, FHFA’s rule implementing 

section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act 

is codified as 12 CFR part 1238 and 

requires that ‘‘[e]ach regulated entity 

must file a report in the manner and 

form established by FHFA.’’ 12 CFR 

1238.5(b); 

WHEREAS, 12 CFR 1238.3(b) requires 

that FHFA issue to each regulated entity 

scenarios to be used in conducting 

annual stress testing; 

Whereas, the Director of FHFA 

considers it appropriate to Order each 

regulated entity to report to FHFA 

results of stress testing under 12 CFR 

part 1238 using scenarios supplied by 

FHFA; 

Whereas, FHFA issued to each 

regulated entity the required scenarios 

and reporting templates on November 

14, 2014, fifteen calendar days following 

the Federal Reserve Board’s release of 

global shock scenario elements for use 

in its Dodd-Frank stress testing 

exercises; and 

Whereas, section 1314 of the Safety 

and Soundness Act, 12 U.S.C. 4514(a) 

authorizes the Director of FHFA to 

require regulated entities, by general or 

specific order, to submit such reports on 

their management, activities, and 

operations as the Director considers 

appropriate. 

Now therefore, it is hereby Ordered as 

follows: 

Each regulated entity shall conduct 

annual stress testing and report to FHFA 

and to the Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System the results of 

such stress testing as required by 12 

CFR part 1238, in the form and with the 

content described therein and in the 

Summary Instructions and Guidance 

accompanying this Order, using the 

scenarios and assumptions issued on 

November 14, 2014, and provided in 

Appendices 4 through 11 to the 

Summary Instructions and Guidance 

that accompanies this Order. 

It is so ordered, this 1st day of 

December 2014. 

This Order is effective immediately.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 787–8 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by 

failure during testing of the anchor 

attachment on the occupant restraint 

system on the standard attendant seat 

due to an understrength attachment 

fitting. This AD requires replacing the 

existing restraint attachment fitting on 

the standard attendant seat with a new, 

improved attachment fitting. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent failure of the 

restraint attachment fitting of the 

attendant seat during an emergency 

landing, which could cause injury to the 

cabin crew and passengers and could 

impede a rapid evacuation. 

DATES: This AD is effective January 9, 

2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of January 9, 2015.

72122 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 234 / Friday, December 5, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain The Boeing Company 

Model 787–8 airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 28, 2014 (79 FR 17455). The 

NPRM was prompted by failure during 

testing of the anchor attachment on the 

occupant restraint system on the 

standard attendant seat due to an 

understrength attachment fitting. The 

NPRM proposed to require replacing the 

existing restraint attachment fitting on 

the standard attendant seat with a new, 

improved attachment fitting. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent failure of the 

restraint attachment fitting of the 

attendant seat during an emergency 

landing, which could cause injury to the 

cabin crew and passengers and could 

impede a rapid evacuation. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM (79 FR 17455, 

March 28, 2014) and the FAA’s response 

to each comment. 

Request To Change the Reason for the 

Unsafe Condition 

Boeing asked that we change the 

reason for the unsafe condition in the 

SUMMARY and Discussion sections of the 

NPRM (79 FR 17455, March 28, 2014). 

The reason specifies that the AD was 

prompted by failure of the anchor 

attachment on the occupant restraint 

system on the standard attendant seat 

due to an undersized attachment fitting. 

Boeing stated that the reason stated in 

the NPRM is ambiguous and may give 

an incorrect impression of the nature of 

the failure. Boeing asked that the reason 

be changed to specify that the triggering 

failure occurred during testing, and not 

in service. 

We agree with the commenter that the 

failure of the anchor attachment 

occurred during testing. We have 

changed this final rule accordingly. 

Requests for Changes to the Unsafe 

Condition 

Boeing asked that we clarify the 

unsafe condition specified in the 

SUMMARY and Discussion sections of the 

NPRM (79 FR 17455, March 28, 2014). 

The unsafe condition in the NPRM 

specified that the AD is being issued to 

‘‘prevent failure’’ of the restraint 

attachment fitting and consequent 

‘‘detachment of the attendant 

seat. . . .’’ Boeing stated that the 

language should be clarified to specify 

that only the restraint system, not the 

attendant seat, will detach. Boeing 

added that the undersized fitting is not 

the correct reason for the failure because 

the geometry of the existing fitting 

increased the local internal loads 

beyond the attachment capability, and 

the new fitting is actually smaller than 

the existing fitting, yet reduces the 

internal loads that lead to failure. 

We agree with the commenter that 

only the restraint system, not the 

attendant seat, will detach. We have 

clarified this language in the SUMMARY

and Discussion sections, as well as 

paragraph (e) of this final rule. 

We agree that the failure is due to the 

excessive internal loads generated by 

the attachment fitting geometry; 

however, we note that the term 

‘‘undersized’’ refers to the loading 

capability of the attachment fitting, not 

the actual physical size. We have 

clarified the SUMMARY and Discussion 

sections, as well as paragraph (e) of this 

final rule, by changing the term 

‘‘undersized’’ to ‘‘understrength.’’ 

Boeing also asked that the end level 

effect, which specifies in part, ‘‘. . . 

could cause injury to passengers and 

crew . . .’’ be changed to ‘‘. . . could 

cause injury to cabin crew and 

passengers. . .’’ Boeing stated that the 

language in the NPRM (79 FR 17455, 

March 28, 2014) could suggest that the 

equivalent or primary threat is to 

passengers because they are identified 

first; however, the primary threat would 

be to the cabin crew. Boeing noted that 

unrestrained cabin crew may be injured 

by impact to the aircraft interior or other 

cabin crew or passengers. 

We agree with the commenter that the 

primary threat would be to the cabin 

crew. Our evaluation shows that an 

injury to a flight attendant would 

increase the risk of injury to a passenger 

during an emergency evacuation. We 

have clarified the SUMMARY and 

Discussion sections, as well as 

paragraph (e) of this final rule, to 

include the phrase ‘‘injury to the cabin 

crew and passengers.’’ 

Request To Clarify the Applicability 

Section 

Boeing asked that we clarify the scope 

of the affected airplanes specified in the 

SUMMARY section of the NPRM (79 FR 

17455, March 28, 2014), by referring to 

the service information as follows: ‘‘. . . 

certain The Boeing Company Model 

787–8 airplanes, certificated in any 

category, as identified in Boeing Service 

Bulletin B787–81205–SB250027–00, 

Issue 001, dated January 14, 2014.’’ 

Boeing stated that the current language 

identifies the target airplanes only as 

‘‘certain The Boeing Company 787–8 

airplanes,’’ which is not specific. 

We disagree with the request to add 

details for the affected airplanes 

specified in the SUMMARY section. The 

SUMMARY section of this final rule 

provides an overview and does not 

include detailed information. Paragraph 

(c) of this AD lists the full details for the 

airplanes affected by this final rule. We 

have, however, changed the 

applicability section specified in 

paragraph (c) of this AD to also refer to 

the effectivity of Boeing Service Bulletin 

B787–81205–SB250027–00, Issue 001, 

dated January 14, 2014. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the changes described previously. 

We also determined that these changes 

will not increase the economic burden 

on any operator or increase the scope of 

this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 1 

airplane of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Replacement ........................... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ......................................... $0 $85 $85

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 234 / Friday, December 5, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 72123 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in Subtitle VII, 

Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: 

‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

This AD will not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This AD will not have a 

substantial direct effect on the States, on 

the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(4) Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.
