SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for a 2-year period
if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety
that is equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved
absent such exemption.'' FMCSA can renew exemptions at the end of each
2-year period. The 45 individuals listed in this notice have each
requested such an exemption from the vision requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce.
Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate the qualifications of each
applicant to determine whether granting an exemption will achieve the
required level of safety mandated by statute.

With or Without Airbag Devices or 3-Point Restraints

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Amended final special conditions; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: These amended special conditions are issued for the Boeing
Model 777 series airplanes. This amendment states that the Boeing Model
777 series airplanes oblique (side-facing) seats may be installed at an
angle of 18 to 45 degrees to the airplane centerline and may include a
3-point or airbag restraint system, or both, for occupant restraint and
injury protection. This airplane will have novel or unusual design
features when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the
airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. These design
features are oblique (side-facing) single-occupant passenger seats
equipped with or without airbag devices or 3-point restraints. The
applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special
conditions contain the additional safety standards that the
Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety
equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

DATES: This action is effective on The Boeing Company on September 12,
2018. Send comments on or before October 29, 2018.

sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    We will consider all comments we receive by the closing date for
comments. We may change these special conditions based on the comments
we receive.

Background

    On November 22, 2017, Boeing applied for an amendment to Type

Certificate No. T00001SE for the installation of oblique (side-facing)
passenger seats with or without airbag devices or 3-point restraints in
the Boeing Model 777 series airplanes. The Boeing Model 777 series
airplanes are twin-engine, transport category airplanes with a maximum
certified passenger capacity of up to 550 and a maximum takeoff weight
of approximately 775,000 lbs.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) 21.101, Boeing must show that the Model 777 series airplanes meet
the applicable provisions of the regulations listed in Type Certificate
No. T00001SE, or the applicable regulations in effect on the date of
application for the change, except for earlier amendments as agreed
upon by the FAA.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the Boeing Model 777 series airplanes
because of novel or unusual design features, special conditions are
prescribed under the provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same novel or
unusual design feature, or should any other model already included on
the same type certificate be modified to incorporate the same novel or
unusual design feature, these special conditions would also apply to
the other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Boeing Model 777 series airplanes must comply with the
fuel vent and exhaust emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the
noise certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36.
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type
certification basis under Sec.  21.101.

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The business-class seating configuration Boeing proposes is novel
or unusual due to the seat installation at 30 degrees to the airplane
centerline, the airbag-system installation, and the seat/occupant
interface with the surrounding furniture that introduces occupant
alignment and loading concerns. The proposed business-class seating
configuration is also beyond the limits of current acceptable
equivalent-level-of-safety findings. These oblique (side-facing) seats
may be installed at an angle of 18 to 45 degrees to the airplane
centerline and may include a 3-point or airbag restraint system, or
both, for occupant restraint and injury protection.
    The existing regulations do not provide adequate or appropriate
safety standards for occupants of oblique-angled seats with airbag
systems. To provide a level of safety that is equivalent to that
afforded occupants of forward- and aft-facing seats, additional
airworthiness standards, in the form of special conditions, are
necessary. These special conditions supplement part 25 and, more
specifically, supplement Sec. Sec.  25.562 and 25.785.
    The requirements contained in these special conditions consist of
both test conditions and injury pass/fail criteria.

Discussion

    The FAA has been conducting and sponsoring research on appropriate
injury criteria for oblique (side-facing) seat installations. However,
the FAA research program is not complete and we may update these
criteria as we obtain further research results. To reflect current
research findings, the FAA issued policy statement PS-ANM-25-03-R1 to
update injury criteria for fully side-facing seats, and policy
statement PS-AIR-25-27, to define injury criteria for oblique (side-
facing) seats.
    The proposed Boeing Model 777 series airplanes business-class seat
installation is novel such that the current Boeing Model 777 series
airplanes certification basis does not adequately address protection of
the occupant's neck and spine for seat configurations that are
positioned at an angle greater than 18 degrees from the airplane
centerline. The FAA issued special conditions No. 25-569-SC for Model
777-300ER airplanes on September 25, 2014, and special conditions No.
25-621-SC for certain Model 777-300ER airplanes on August 3rd, 2016.
These special conditions contained injury criteria for oblique seats
based on the best knowledge the FAA had at the time. These special
conditions for oblique seat installations do not adequately address
oblique seats, reflecting the current research results, with or without
3-point or airbag restraint systems. Therefore, Boeing's proposed
configuration will require amended special conditions.
    The installation of passenger seats at angles of 18 to 45 degrees
to the airplane centerline are unique due to the seat/occupant
interface with the surrounding furniture that introduces occupant
alignment/loading concerns with or without the installation of a 3-
point or airbag restraint system, or both. On-going research has
invalidated previously released special conditions for oblique (side-
facing) seat installations. These updated special conditions further
address potential injuries to the occupant's neck and spine. As a
result, these special conditions replace special conditions 25-569-SC
and 25-621-SC.
    FAA-sponsored research has found that an un-restrained flailing of
the upper torso, even when the pelvis and torso are nearly aligned, can
produce serious spinal and torso injuries. At lower impact severities,
even with significant misalignment between the torso and pelvis, these
injuries did not occur. Tests with an FAA H-III anthropomorphic test
device (ATD) have identified a level of lumbar spinal tension
corresponding to the no-injury impact severity. This level of tension
is included as a limit in the special conditions. The spine tension
limit selected is conservative with respect to other aviation injury
criteria since it corresponds to a no-injury loading condition.
    As noted in the special conditions for each airbag restraint
system, because an airbag restraint system is essentially a single use
device, there is the potential that it could deploy under crash
conditions that are not sufficiently severe as to require head injury
protection from the airbag restraint system. Since an actual crash is
frequently composed of a series of impacts before the airplane comes to
rest, this could render the airbag restraint system useless if a larger
impact follows the initial impact. This situation does not exist with
energy absorbing pads or upper torso restraints, which tend to provide
protection according to the severity of the impact. Therefore, the
installation of the airbag restraint system should be such that the
airbag restraint system will provide protection when it is required,
and will not expend its protection when it is not needed.
    Because these airbag restraint systems may or may not activate
during various crash conditions, the injury criteria listed in these
special conditions and in Sec.  25.562 must be met in an event that is
slightly below the activation level of the airbag restraint system. If
an airbag restraint system is included with the oblique seats, the
system must meet the requirements in one of the airbag (inflatable
restraint) special conditions applicable to the Boeing Model 777 series
airplanes.

    These amended special conditions will provide head injury criteria,
neck injury criteria, spine injury criteria, and body-to-wall contact
criteria. They contain the additional safety standards that the
Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety
equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Boeing Model 777 series airplane. Should Boeing apply at a later date
for a change to the type certificate to include another model
incorporating the same novel or unusual design feature, these special
conditions would apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on one model series of airplanes. It is not a rule of general
applicability.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

Authority Citation

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Special Conditions

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the following special conditions are issued as part of
the type certification basis for the Boeing Model 777 series airplanes.

Side-Facing Seats Special Conditions

    In addition to the requirements of Sec.  25.562:

1. Head Injury Criteria (HIC)

    Compliance with Sec.  25.562(c)(5) is required, except that, if the
ATD has no apparent contact with the seat/structure but has contact
with an airbag, a HIC unlimited score in excess of 1,000 is acceptable,
provided the HIC15 score for that contact (calculated in accordance
with 49 CFR 571.208) is less than 700.

2. Body-to-Wall/Furnishing Contact

    If a seat is installed aft of structure (e.g., interior wall or
furnishings) that does not provide a homogenous contact surface for the
expected range of occupants and yaw angles, then additional analysis
and tests may be required to demonstrate that the injury criteria are
met for the area which an occupant could contact. For example,
different yaw angles could result in different airbag device
performance, then additional analysis or separate tests may be
necessary to evaluate performance.

3. Neck Injury Criteria

    The seating system must protect the occupant from experiencing
serious neck injury. The assessment of neck injury must be conducted
with the airbag device activated, unless there is a reason to also
consider that the neck-injury potential would be higher for impacts
below the airbag-device deployment threshold.
    a. The Nij, calculated in accordance with 49 CFR
571.208, must be below 1.0, where Nij = Fz/
Fzc + My/Myc, and Nij
critical values are:

i. Fzc = 1,530 lbs for tension
ii. Fzc = 1,385 lbs for compression
iii. Myc = 229 lb-ft in flexion
iv. Myc = 100 lb-ft in extension
    b. In addition, peak upper-neck Fz must be below 937
lbs. in tension and 899 lbs. in compression.
    c. Rotation of the head about its vertical axis, relative to the
torso is limited to 105 degrees in either direction from forward-
facing.
    d. The neck must not impact any surface that would produce
concentrated loading on the neck.

4. Spine and Torso Injury Criteria:

    a. The lumbar spine tension (Fz) cannot exceed 1,200
lbs.
    b. Significant concentrated loading on the occupant's spine, in the
area between the pelvis and shoulders during impact, including rebound,
is not acceptable. During this type of contact, the interval for any
rearward (X direction) acceleration exceeding 20 g must be less than 3
milliseconds as measured by the thoracic instrumentation specified in
49 CFR part 572, subpart E, filtered in accordance with SAE recommended
practice J211/1, ``Instrumentation for Impact Test-Part 1--Electronic
Instrumentation.''
    c. The occupant must not interact with the armrest or other seat
components in any manner significantly different than would be expected
for a forward-facing seat installation.

5. Pelvis Criteria

    Any part of the load-bearing portion of the bottom of the ATD
pelvis must not translate beyond the edges of the seat bottom seat-
cushion supporting structure.

6. Femur Criteria

    Axial rotation of the upper leg (about the z-axis of the femur per
SAE Recommended Practice J211/1) must be limited to 35 degrees from the
nominal seated position. Evaluation during rebound does not need to be
considered.

7. ATD and Test Conditions

    Longitudinal tests conducted to measure the injury criteria above
must be performed with the FAA Hybrid III ATD, as described in SAE
1999-01-1609, ``A Lumbar Spine Modification to the Hybrid III ATD for
Aircraft Seat Tests.'' The tests must be conducted with an undeformed
floor, at the most-critical yaw cases for injury, and with all lateral
structural supports (e.g., armrests or walls) installed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    Section 70110 of title 46, United States Code, enacted as part of
section 102(a) of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002
(Pub. L. 107-295, Nov. 25, 2002) authorizes the Secretary of Homeland
Security to impose conditions of entry on vessels requesting entry into
the United States arriving from ports that are not maintaining
effective anti-terrorism measures. It also requires public notice of
the ineffective anti-terrorism measures. The Secretary has delegated to
the Coast Guard authority to carry out the provisions of this section.
See Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1, sec. 97.
Previous notices have imposed or removed conditions of entry on vessels
arriving from certain countries, and those conditions of entry and the
countries they pertain to remain in effect unless modified by this
notice.
    The Coast Guard has determined that ports in the Union of the
Comoros and the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire are not maintaining effective
anti-terrorism measures. To make these determinations, the Coast Guard
International Port Security (IPS) Program conducted an initial visit to
the Union of the Comoros in November 2009, and conducted an initial
visit to the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire in January 2010. In our
investigations of both countries, significant deficiencies were found
in the legal regime, designated authority oversight, access control,
and cargo control. In September 2010, the Deputy Commandant for
Operations made findings that effective anti-terrorism measures were
not in place in the ports of Comoros and Cote d'Ivoire. Inclusive to
these determinations is an assessment that the Union of the

Comoros and the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire present significant risk of
introducing instruments of terror into international maritime commerce.
The Coast Guard notified the Department of State of these
determinations pursuant to 46 U.S.C. 70110(c).
    The United States notified the Union of the Comoros of this
determination in October 2010 and the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire in
November 2010, and identified steps necessary to improve the
antiterrorism measures in place at their respective ports, as required
by 46 U.S.C. 70109. Neither of these countries has offered a response
to our communications on these matters. To date, the United States
cannot confirm that the identified deficiencies have been corrected.
    Accordingly, effective June 10, 2011, the Coast Guard will impose
the following conditions of entry on vessels that visited ports in the
Union of the Comoros and/or the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire during their
last five port calls. Vessels must:
     Implement measures per the ship's security plan equivalent
to Security Level 2 while in a port in the Union of the Comoros or the
Republic of Cote d'Ivoire. As defined in the ISPS Code and incorporated
herein, ``Security Level 2'' refers to the ``level for which
appropriate additional protective security measures shall be maintained
for a period of time as a result of heightened risk of a security
incident.''
     Ensure that each access point to the ship is guarded and
that the guards have total visibility of the exterior (both landside
and waterside) of the vessel while the vessel is in ports in the Union
of the Comoros or the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire.
