Airplanes Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. AGENCY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC–8–400, –401, and –402 airplanes. This AD requires an inspection of a certain alternating current (AC) power wire bundle for damage, and repair if necessary. Additionally, this AD requires segregating the wire bundle into two wire bundles and installing Teflon tubing. This AD was prompted by multiple reports of the loss of certain AC systems caused by a burnt AC power wire bundle. We are issuing this AD to prevent the loss of ice protection systems for the angle of attack vanes, pitot probes, engine inlets, and windshields, and consequent loss of or misleading airspeed indication and increased workload for the flight crew, which could lead to loss of control of the airplane. DATES: This AD becomes effective February 15, 2012. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of February 15, 2012. We must receive comments on this AD by March 16, 2012. ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. • Fax: (202) 493–2251. • Mail: U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M–30, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12–140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In August 2011, FHFA published an interim final regulation with 
request for comments that revised its Privacy Act regulation. See 76 FR 
51869 (Aug. 19, 2011). The revised Privacy Act regulation (12 CFR part 
1204) provided the procedures and guidelines under which FHFA and FHFA-
OIG will implement the Privacy Act. The 60-day public comment period 
for the interim final regulation closed on October 18, 2011. See 76 FR 
51869.

II. Analysis of Public Comments and the Final Regulation

    FHFA received no comments in response to the interim final 
regulation. Thus, for the reasons set forth in detail in the interim 
final regulation, FHFA is adopting the interim final regulation as a 
final regulation without any substantive changes. However, since the 
publication of the interim final regulation, FHFA has relocated its 
headquarters and its mailing address and contact information for the 
Privacy program has changed. As a result, FHFA will be making only 
technical changes to the regulation to include the new mailing address 
and facsimile numbers for the Privacy program.

III. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The final regulation does not contain any information collection 
requirement that requires the approval of OMB under the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires that 
a regulation that has a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities, small businesses, or small organizations 
include an initial regulatory flexibility analysis describing the 
regulation's impact on small entities. Such an analysis need not be 
undertaken if the agency has certified that the regulation does not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. 5 U.S.C. 605(b). FHFA has considered the impact of the final 
regulation under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. FHFA certifies that 
the regulation is not likely to have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small business entities because the regulation is 
applicable to the internal operations and legal obligations of FHFA and 
FHFA-OIG.
