DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Release From Quitclaim Deed 

and Grant Assurance Obligations at 

Reno Stead Airport, Reno, Washoe 

County, Nevada 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of a land release. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) proposes to rule 

and invites public comment on the 

application for a land release of 

approximately 0.58 acres of airport 

property and associated 15-foot-wide 

access easement owned by Reno Stead 

Airport, Reno, Washoe County, Nevada 

from the airport use provisions of the 

Grant Agreement Assurances since the 

land is not needed for airport purposes. 

The subject property is located 

approximately 0.5 miles from the Reno 

Stead Airport and has no identified 

airport-related purpose. The airport will 

be compensated for the fair market 

value of the released property. Reuse of 

the property will not interfere with the 

airport or its operation, thereby 

protecting the interests of civil aviation. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before January 17, 2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Comments on the request may be mailed 

or delivered to the FAA at the following 

address: Mike N. Williams, Manager, 

Airports District Office, Federal 

Register Comment, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Phoenix Airports 

District Office, 3800 N. Central Avenue, 

Suite 1025, Phoenix, Arizona 85012. In 

addition, one copy of the comment 

submitted to the FAA must be mailed or 

delivered to Ms. Lissa Butterfield, 

Senior Airport Planner, Reno-Tahoe 

Airport Authority, P.O. Box 12490, 

Reno, NV 89510. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 

Aviation Investment and Reform Act for 

the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 

106–181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), 

this notice must be published in the 

Federal Register 30 days before the DOT 

Secretary may waive any condition 

imposed on a federally obligated airport 

by surplus property conveyance deeds 

or grant agreements. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority 

(RTAA) requested a release from the 

provisions of the Grant Agreement 

Assurances to permit the disposal of 

approximately 0.58 acres of land near 

Reno Stead Airport, Reno, Washoe 

County, Nevada to permit Artisan 

Communities to incorporate the 0.58- 

acre property into their approximately 

47-acre community development. The 

property is located in an area zoned 

residential and the release will 

eliminate RTAA’s future liability for the 

property since the property cannot be 

redeveloped for a commercial or airport 

purpose. The airport will be 

compensated for the fair market value of 

the released property. The RTAA 

supports disposal of the parcel, which 

has no identified airport-related purpose 

or future use, especially since it is 0.5 

miles from the airport. Reuse of the 

property will not interfere with the 

airport or its operation, thereby 

protecting the interests of civil aviation. 

Based on the benefits of fair 

compensation in exchange for the land, 

the interests of civil aviation will be 

properly served.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2016–0175] 

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Applications; Implantable Cardioverter 

Defibrillators 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of denials of exemption 

applications. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its 

decision to deny applications from 11 

individuals seeking exemptions from 

the Federal cardiovascular standard 

applicable to interstate truck and bus 

drivers and discusses the reasons for the 

denials. The Agency reviewed the 

medical information of each of the 

individuals who applied for an 

implantable cardioverter defibrillator 

(ICD) exemption. Based on a review of 

the applications and following an 

opportunity for public comment, 

FMCSA has concluded that the 11 

individuals in the notice did not 

demonstrate they could achieve a level 

of safety that is equivalent to, or greater 

than, the level of safety that would be 

obtained by complying with the 

regulation. 

DATES: Denial letters were sent to each 

of the individuals listed in this notice 

on October 11, 2016. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Christine A. Hydock, Chief Medical 

Programs Division, 202–366–4001, U.S. 

Department of Transportation, FMCSA, 

1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Room 

W64–224, Washington, DC 20590–0001. 

Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Monday through Friday, except Federal 

holidays. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, 

FMCSA may grant an exemption from 

the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations for up to five years 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 for up to an additional five 

years at the end of each five-year 

period.1

On August 8, 2016, FMCSA published 

for public notice and comment, FMCSA 

2016–0175, listing 11 individuals 

seeking exemptions for ICDs. 

Accordingly, the Agency has evaluated 

each applicant’s request to determine 

whether granting an exemption will 

achieve the required level of safety 

mandated by statute. 

Evaluation Criteria—Cardiovascular 

Medical Standard and Advisory 

Criteria

notice have requested an exemption
