previously rated ‘‘Conditionally Meets
Expectations’’ may be downgraded to
‘‘Deficient-1’’ when the firm’s inability to
resolve supervisory issues in a timely manner
indicates that the firm does not possess
sufficient financial or operational capabilities
to maintain its safety and soundness through
a range of conditions.
To address these financial or operational
deficiencies, the firm is required to take
timely corrective action to restore and
maintain its governance and controls
consistent with supervisory expectations.
There is a strong presumption that a firm
rated ‘‘Deficient-1’’ will be subject to an
informal or formal enforcement action by the
Federal Reserve.
A firm rated ‘‘Deficient-1’’ for any rating
component would not be considered ‘‘well
managed,’’ which would subject the firm to
various consequences. A ‘‘Deficient-1’’ rating
could be a barrier for a firm seeking Federal
Reserve approval of a proposal to engage in
new or expansionary activities, unless the
firm can demonstrate that (i) it is making
meaningful, sustained progress in resolving
identified deficiencies and issues; (ii) the
proposed new or expansionary activities
would not present a risk of exacerbating
current deficiencies or issues or lead to new
concerns; and (iii) the proposed activities
would not distract the firm from remediating
current deficiencies or issues.
Deficient-2
Financial or operational deficiencies in
governance or controls present a threat to the
firm’s safety and soundness, or have already
put the firm in an unsafe and unsound
condition. Specifically, as a result of these
deficiencies, the firm is unable to align
strategic business objectives with its risk
appetite and risk management capabilities;
maintain effective and independent risk
management and control functions, including
internal audit; promote compliance with
laws and regulations (including those related
to consumer protection); or otherwise
provide for the firm’s ongoing resiliency.
To address these deficiencies, the firm is
required to immediately (i) implement
comprehensive corrective measures sufficient
to restore and maintain appropriate
governance and control capabilities; and (ii)
demonstrate the sufficiency, credibility, and
readiness of contingency planning in the
event of further deterioration of the firm’s
financial or operational strength or
resiliency. There is a strong presumption that
a firm rated ‘‘Deficient-2’’ will be subject to
a formal enforcement action by the Federal
Reserve.
A firm rated ‘‘Deficient-2’’ for any rating
component would not be considered ‘‘well
managed,’’ which would subject the firm to
various consequences. The Federal Reserve
would be unlikely to approve any proposal
from a firm rated ‘‘Deficient-2’’ to engage in
new or expansionary activities.
By order of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, November 2, 2018.
Ann Misback,
Secretary of the Board.

Background
On March 21, 2017, Garmin applied
for a supplemental type certificate to
install Garmin G5000 avionics
connected to the aircraft-control domain
and airline information-services domain

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 21, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
in Textron Model 560XL airplanes. This
is a twin-engine, turbofan airplane with
seating for 12 passengers and two crew
members, and a maximum takeoff
weight of 20,200 pounds.
Type Certification Basis
Under the provisions of title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 21.101,
Garmin must show that the Textron
Model 560XL airplane, as changed,
continues to meet the applicable
provisions of the regulations listed in
Type Certificate No. A22CE, 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 Textron Model 560XL airplane
because of a novel or unusual design
feature, special conditions are
prescribed under the provisions of
§ 21.16.
Special conditions are initially
applicable to the model for which they
are issued. Should the applicant apply
for a supplemental type certificate to
modify any other model included on the
same type certificate to incorporate the
same novel or unusual design feature,
these special conditions would also
apply to the other model under § 21.101.
In addition to the applicable
airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Textron Model 560XL
airplane must comply with the fuel-vent
and exhaust-emission requirements of
14 CFR part 34, and the noisecertification requirements of 14 CFR
part 36.
The FAA issues special conditions, as
defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in accordance
with § 11.38, and they become part of
the type certification basis under
§ 21.101.

Novel or Unusual Design Features
The Textron Model 560XL airplane,
as modified by Garmin, will incorporate
the following novel or unusual design
features:
Garmin G5000 avionics that allow
internal connection to previously
isolated data networks, which are
connected to systems that perform
functions required for the safe operation
of the airplane.
Discussion
The Textron Model 560XL airplane
architecture is novel or unusual for
commercial transport airplanes because
it allows connection to previously
isolated data networks connected to
systems that perform functions required
VerDate Sep<11>2014

for the safe operation of the airplane.
This data network and design
integration creates a potential for
unauthorized persons to access the
aircraft-control domain and airline
information-services domain, and
presents security vulnerabilities related
to the introduction of computer viruses
and worms, user errors, and intentional
sabotage of airplane electronic assets
(networks, systems, and databases)
critical to the safety and maintenance of
the airplane.
The existing regulations and guidance
material did not anticipate this type of
system architecture or electronic access
to airplane systems. Furthermore, 14
CFR regulations and the current systemsafety assessment policy and techniques
do not address potential security
vulnerabilities, which could be
exploited by unauthorized access to
airplane networks and servers.
Therefore, these special conditions
ensure that the security of airplane
systems and networks is not
compromised by unauthorized wired or
wireless internal access.
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.
Applicability
As discussed above, these special
conditions are applicable to the Textron
Model 560XL airplane. Should Garmin
apply at a later date for a supplemental
type certificate to modify any other
model included on Type Certificate No.
A22CE to incorporate 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
of airplane. It is not a rule of general
applicability and affects only the
applicant who applied to the FAA for
approval of the features on the airplane.

conditions are issued as part of the type
certification basis for Textron Model
560XL airplanes as modified by Garmin,
for airplane electronic-system security
protection from unauthorized internal
access.
1. The applicant must ensure that the
design provides isolation from, or
airplane electronic-system security
protection against, access by
unauthorized sources internal to the
airplane. The design must prevent
inadvertent and malicious changes to,
and all adverse impacts upon, airplane
equipment, systems, networks, or other
assets required for safe flight and
operations.
2. The applicant must establish
appropriate procedures to allow the
operator to ensure that continued
airworthiness of the airplane is
maintained, including all post-typecertification modifications that may
have an impact on the approved
electronic-system security safeguards.
