The review, which was initiated by the FAA after a battery fire aboard a 787 in Boston in January 2013, encompassed the entire plane, not specifically the battery issue. It made seven recommendations for further improvements in Boeing processes and the agency's oversight, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said in a telephone news briefing. Boeing redesigned the battery, charger and containment system to ensure battery fires would not put the plane at risk, and the Dreamliner was returned to service.</p><br clear="all"/>
