Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 23 / Wednesday, February 5, 2025 / Notices 9055 

and what to do in the event of a brake 

failure. 

12. Documentation must clearly 

define procedures to ensure the vehicle 

does not move (roll back or forward) 

when initiating a movement, including 

performing a standing braking test. 

13. Brake calibration/inspection/ 

maintenance processes must be clearly 

outlined and adhered to for the duration 

of the test. 

14. Communications loss criteria 

between the vehicle and operator must 

be documented on the FRA Form 

6180.49A (blue card). Length of 

communications loss before an 

automatic brake application must be 

documented prior to operation. 

15. Test Program must address 

electronic safety features during the 

handoff between traction and braking. 

The Program must identify failsafe stop/ 

emergency procedures in the event of a 

failure, outlining the electronics logic 

on how to enforce an emergency stop 

when there is a fault. 

16. Test Program must provide a 

complete description of the braking 

technology process, including how 

energy stored in the batteries is 

managed to prevent overcharge from 

regenerative braking. 

17. Petitioners must provide 

emergency response training for all 

emergency responders who might be 

called to respond in the event of an 

emergency. 

18. Although these vehicles do not 

couple, there must be a provision for a 

rescue coupler or alternate process to 

provide a safe way to move the vehicle 

in the event of a system failure or 

emergency. 

19. Petitioners must produce and 

provide FRA with a monthly test report 

in a common electronic format 

reviewable by FRA (such as in an Excel 

file). The report will contain 

information pertaining to the test area to 

include vehicle identification, date of 

each test, geographic (milepost) limits of 

the test, issues identified, anomalies and 

proposed solutions. 

20. Prior to advancing beyond Phase 

2 and in accordance with Condition 2, 

petitioners must provide FRA with 

specific documentation explaining how 

safety-critical products were developed, 

how the equipment is inspected, a 

concept of operations, maintenance 

schedule and a thorough testing plan 

indicating what constitutes a pass or 

fail. Petitioners must also describe how 

personnel working with safety-critical 

products will be trained to perform 

functions of the Program safely. 

Petitioners must provide FRA with an 

updated Railroad Safety Program Plan 

and Product Safety Plan and obtain FRA 

approval before any Phase 3 testing 

begins. 

21. All personnel involved in the 

process outlined in this approval must 

be informed of the content and be aware 

of the conditions prior to participation 

in the process. Petitioners must make 

readily available at every test segment 

location a copy of the waiver decision 

letter and the test program and any 

amendments prior to participation in 

the test. 

22. As this technology and operating 

approach does not involve a locomotive 

cab where facilities would normally be 

located, the Petitioners must make 

available lavatory facilities for operating 

and test crews. 

23. End handholds and uncoupling 

levers are not applicable to this 

equipment because it does not couple. 

Based on evidence during the March 

2024 hearing, FRA exempts Petitioners 

from the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

20302 for purposes of testing this new 

technology. The purpose of the statute 

is to protect employees who are between 

traditional rail equipment lacing air 

hoses and coupling equipment, but, 

because this novel equipment being 

tested does not couple or have air hoses, 

the risk has been engineered out. 

Conclusion 

This test program is approved. Based 

on the consideration and analysis of 

data gathered during the Program, or 

upon Petitioners’ written request, FRA 

may modify or rescind the approval. 

Issued in Washington, DC.

2The updated burden estimate reflects updates to 

the Board’s burden estimates and one additional 

respondent. The burden of completing the OCC’s 

reporting forms should be substantially covered by 

the burden of completing the Board’s FR Y–14A 

reporting form (OMB No. 7100–0341) since the 

OCC’s form is substantially similar to the Board’s. 

The OCC estimates there will be only a limited 

marginal burden to complete the OCC’s forms in 

addition to the FR Y–14A and accordingly estimates 

the marginal burden of completing the OCC 

reporting form as one-third of the Board’s estimated 

burden to complete the FR Y–14A (1,330 hours).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

OMB for each collection of information 

that they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) to include agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. The OCC 

asks the OMB to extend its approval of 

the collection in this notice. 

Title: ‘‘Company-Run Annual Stress 

Test Reporting Template and 

Documentation for Covered Institutions 

with Total Consolidated Assets of $250 

Billion or More under the Dodd-Frank 

Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act’’. 

OMB Control No.: 1557–0319. 

Type of Review: Revision. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit. 

Description: Section 165(i)(2) of the 

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 

Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank 

Act) requires certain financial 

companies, including national banks 

and Federal savings associations, to 

conduct annual stress tests and requires 

the primary financial regulatory agency 

of those financial companies to issue 

regulations implementing the stress test 

requirements. Under section 165(i)(2), a 

covered institution is required to submit 

to the Board of Governors of the Federal 

Reserve System (Board) and to its 

primary financial regulatory agency a 

report at such time, in such form, and 

containing such information as the 

primary financial regulatory agency may 

require. 

On October 9, 2012, the OCC 

published in the Federal Register a final 

rule implementing the section 165(i)(2) 

annual stress test requirement. This rule 

describes the reports and information 

collections required to meet the 

reporting requirements under section 

165(i)(2). These information collections 

will be treated as confidential to the 

extent permitted by law. 

In 2012, the OCC first implemented 

the reporting templates referenced in 

the final rule, and the OCC proposed 

changes to these templates on October 

29, 2024.1 The OCC is now finalizing 

those proposed changes. The OCC uses 

the data collected to assess the 

reasonableness of the stress test results 

of covered institutions and to provide 

forward-looking information to the OCC 

regarding a covered institution’s capital 

adequacy. The OCC also may use the 

results of the stress tests to determine 

whether additional analytical 

techniques and exercises could be 

appropriate to identify, measure, and 

monitor risks at the covered institution. 

The stress test results are expected to 

support ongoing improvement in a 

covered institution’s stress testing 

practices with respect to its internal 

assessments of capital adequacy and 

overall capital planning. 

The OCC recognizes that many 

covered institutions with total 

consolidated assets of $250 billion or 

more are required to submit reports 

using reporting form FR Y–14A. To the 

extent practical, the OCC will keep its 

reporting requirements consistent with 

the Board’s FR Y–14A to minimize 

burden on covered institutions. 

The OCC’s changes include only 

limited updates, and the revised OCC 

reporting forms will substantially 

resemble the forms used by the OCC last 

year and the Board’s reporting forms. 

The OCC’s changes include removing 

the CECL Supplemental Schedule from 

the reporting instructions. The CECL 

Supplemental Schedule was a one-time 

schedule that reporting banks provided 

during the first submission cycle 

following their implementation of the 

ASU 2016–13 standards. This collection 

was implemented to identify the effect 

and timing of the adoption of CECL and 

the associated transition provisions as 

provided by section 301 of the 

regulatory capital rules. As all firms 

have now adopted ASU 2016–13, this 

supplemental collection is not needed 

on a go-forward basis for modeling or 

analytic purposes. The changes also 

include minor corrections and eliminate 

references to LIBOR, which is no longer 

a reference rate, in the reporting 

instructions. 

If the Board proposes additional 

changes to the FR Y–14A reporting 

forms after the publication of this 

notice, the OCC may make 

corresponding changes to the OCC’s 

reporting forms to minimize 

inconsistencies and reduce burden. The 

OCC’s proposed new reporting forms 

and instructions are available on the 

OCC’s website at https://

www.occ.treas.gov/publications-andresources/forms/dodd-frank-act-stresstest/index-dodd-frank-act-stresstest.html. 

Estimated Burden: 

Estimated Frequency of Response: On 

occasion. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 4 

annually and 5 biennially. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

2,881.67 2 hours. 

Comments: On October 29, 2024, the 

OCC published a 60-day notice for this 

information collection, (89 FR 86079). 

No comments were received. 

Comments continue to be invited on: 

(a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

OCC, including whether the information 

has practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of the OCC’s 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information; 

(c) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; 

(d) Ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology; and
