The text of the Orders is as follows: Federal Housing Finance Agency Order Nos. 2020–OR–FNMA–1 and 2020–OR–FHLMC–1 Reporting by Regulated Entities of Stress Testing Results as of December 31, 2019 Whereas, section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’), as amended by section 401 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (‘‘EGRRCPA’’) requires certain financial companies with total consolidated assets of more than $250 billion, and which are regulated by a primary Federal financial regulatory agency, to conduct periodic stress tests to determine whether the companies have the capital necessary to absorb losses as a result of severely adverse economic conditions; Whereas, FHFA’s rule implementing section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act, as amended by section 401 of EGRRCPA is codified as 12 CFR 1238 and requires that ‘‘[e]ach Enterprise must file a report in the manner and form established by FHFA.’’ 12 CFR 1238.5(b); Whereas, The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued stress testing scenarios on February 7, 2020, and supplemented on February 10, 2020; 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 operation as the Director considers appropriate. Now therefore, it is hereby Ordered as follows: Each Enterprise shall report to FHFA and to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System the results of the stress testing as required by 12 CFR 1238, in the form and with the content described therein and in the Summary Instructions and Guidance, with Appendices 1 through 8 thereto, accompanying this Order and dated March 10, 2020.

Final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard is revising existing regulations and consolidate into one table special local regulations for recurring marine events at various locations within the geographic boundaries of the Seventh Coast Guard District Captain of the Port (COTP) St. Petersburg Zone. Consolidating marine events into one table simplifies Coast Guard oversight and public notification of special local regulations within COTP St. Petersburg Zone. DATES: This rule is effective May 27, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ADDRESSES: lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with RULES I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking § Section U.S.C. United States Code II. Background Information and Regulatory History Recurring marine events within the Seventh Coast Guard District are VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:16 Apr 24, 2020 Jkt 250001 currently listed in 33 CFR 100.701, Table to 1 to § 100.701. The process for amending the table (e.g. adding or removing marine events) is lengthy and inefficient since it includes recurring marine events for seven different COTP zones within the Seventh District. To expedite and simplify the rule-making process for new marine events/special local regulations, COTP’s resorted to creating individual rules rather than amending the Table 1 to § 100.701. This rule serves two purposes: (1) Create a table of recurring marine events/special local regulations occurring solely within the COTP St. Petersburg Zone, and (2) consolidate into that table marine events/special local regulations previously established outside of Table 1 to § 100.701. The proposed new table would facilitate management of and public access to information about marine events within the COTP St. Petersburg Zone. III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The COTP St. Petersburg has determined that potential hazards associated with the events listed in this rule will be a safety concern for anyone in the area the events are being held. The purpose of this rule is to ensure safety of vessels and the navigable waters in the event areas before, during, and after the scheduled event. IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published January 14, 2020. Other than inserting a ‘‘1’’ in the table headings in § 100.701 and § 100.703, and renumbering eventdate designators in Table 1 to § 100.702, there are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM. This rule makes the following changes: 1. Establish 33 CFR 100.703 Special Local Regulations; Marine Events Within the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg Zone; 2. Remove the existing marine events/ special local regulations listed in Table 1 to § 100.701(c) under COTP Zone St. Petersburg; Special Local Regulations to proposed new § 100.703, Table 1 to § 100.703; 3. Delete the existing special local regulation in § 100.717 for the ‘‘Annual Fort Myers Beach Offshore Grand Prix; Fort Myers, FL’’ because it is no longer held; 4. Delete the existing special local regulation in in § 100.718 for the ‘‘Annual PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Suncoast Kilo Run; Sarasota Bay, Sarasota, FL’’ because it is no longer held; 5. Move the existing special local regulation in § 100.720 for the event, ‘‘Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix, Gulf of Mexico; Sarasota, FL’’ to proposed new § 100.703, Table 1 to § 100.703, and delete existing § 100.720; 6.

The marine events as listed in the new Table to the new § 100.703, Table 1 to § 100.703 are scheduled to occur over a particular time during each month each year. Exact dates are intentionally omitted since calendar dates for a specific events change from year to year. Once dates for a marine event are known, the Coast Guard will notify the public of its intent to enforce the special local regulation through various means including a Notice of Enforcement published in the Federal Register, Local Notice to Mariners, and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

Federal Housing Finance Agency

Order Nos. 2020-OR-FNMA-1 and 2020-OR-FHLMC-1

Reporting by Regulated Entities of Stress Testing Results as of 
December 31, 2019
    Whereas, section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act (``Dodd-Frank Act''), as amended by section 401 
of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act 
(``EGRRCPA'') requires certain financial companies with total 
consolidated assets of more than $250 billion, and which are regulated 
by a primary Federal financial regulatory agency, to conduct periodic 
stress tests to determine whether the companies have the capital 
necessary to absorb losses as a result of severely adverse economic 
conditions;
    Whereas, FHFA's rule implementing section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-
Frank Act, as amended by section 401 of EGRRCPA is codified as 12 CFR 
1238 and requires that ``[e]ach Enterprise must file a report in the 
manner and form established by FHFA.'' 12 CFR 1238.5(b);
    Whereas, The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 
issued stress testing scenarios on February 7, 2020, and supplemented 
on February 10, 2020; 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 operation as the Director considers 
appropriate.
    Now therefore, it is hereby Ordered as follows:
    Each Enterprise shall report to FHFA and to the Board of Governors 
of the Federal Reserve System the results of the stress testing as 
required by 12 CFR 1238, in the form and with the content described 
therein and in the Summary Instructions and Guidance, with Appendices 1
