70080 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 220 / Tuesday, November 16, 2010 / Notices 

We recognize that the vision of an 

applicant may change and affect his/her 

ability to operate a CMV as safely as in 

the past. As a condition of the 

exemption, therefore, FMCSA will 

impose requirements on the 15 

individuals consistent with the 

grandfathering provisions applied to 

drivers who participated in the 

Agency’s vision waiver program. 

Those requirements are found at 49 

CFR 391.64(b) and include the 

following: (1) That each individual be 

physically examined every year (a) by 

an ophthalmologist or optometrist who 

attests that the vision in the better eye 

continues to meet the standard in 49 

CFR 391.41(b)(10), and (b) by a medical 

examiner who attests that the individual 

is otherwise physically qualified under 

49 CFR 391.41; (2) that each individual 

provide a copy of the ophthalmologist’s 

or optometrist’s report to the medical 

examiner at the time of the annual 

medical examination; and (3) that each 

individual provide a copy of the annual 

medical certification to the employer for 

retention in the driver’s qualification 

file, or keep a copy in his/her driver’s 

qualification file if he/she is selfemployed. The driver must also have a 

copy of the certification when driving, 

for presentation to a duly authorized 

Federal, State, or local enforcement 

official. 

Discussion of Comments 

FMCSA received one comment in this 

proceeding. This comment was 

considered and discussed below. 

The Pennsylvania Department of 

Transportation stated that it was in 

favor of granting a Federal vision 

exemption to Mark E. Lapp. 

Conclusion 

Based upon its evaluation of the 15 

exemption applications, FMCSA 

exempts James B. Bierschbach, John P. 

Catalano, Tyrone O. Friese, Randy M. 

Lane, Mark E. Lapp, David S. Matheny, 

Frank G. Merrill, Shannon L. Puckett, 

Leo S. Ruiz, Jr., Ronald B. Shafer, 

Thomas M. Sharp, Ranjodh Singh, 

Kenneth M. Sova, Mark A. Thornton 

and Earl L. White, Jr., from the vision 

requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), 

subject to the requirements cited above 

(49 CFR 391.64(b)). 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) 

and 31315, each exemption will be valid 

for 2 years unless revoked earlier by 

FMCSA. The exemption will be revoked 

if: (1) The person fails to comply with 

the terms and conditions of the 

exemption; (2) the exemption has 

resulted in a lower level of safety than 

was maintained before it was granted; or 

(3) continuation of the exemption would 

not be consistent with the goals and 

objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and 31315. 

If the exemption is still effective at the 

end of the 2-year period, the person may 

apply to FMCSA for a renewal under 

procedures in effect at that time.

Assistance for the hearing impaired is 

available through the Federal 

Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Board, created by Congress in 1996 to 

take over many of the functions 

previously performed by the Interstate 

Commerce Commission, exercises broad 

authority over transportation by rail 

carriers, including regulation of freight 

railroad rates and service (49 U.S.C. 

10701–10747, 11101–11124), as well as 

the construction, acquisition, operation, 

and abandonment of rail lines (49 U.S.C. 

10901–10907) and railroad line sales, 

consolidations, mergers, and common 

control arrangements (49 U.S.C. 10902, 

11323–11327). 

RSTAC was established upon the 

enactment of the ICC Termination Act of 

1995 (ICCTA), on December 29, 1995, to 

advise the Board’s Chairman, the 

Secretary of Transportation, the 

Committee on Commerce, Science, and 

Transportation of the Senate, and the 

Committee on Transportation and 

Infrastructure of the House of 

Representatives, with respect to rail 

transportation policy issues that RSTAC 

considers significant. RSTAC focuses on 

issues of importance to small shippers 

and small railroads, including car 

supply, rates, competition, and 

procedures for addressing claims. 

ICCTA directs RSTAC to develop 

private-sector mechanisms to prevent, 

or identify and address, obstacles to the 

most effective and efficient 

transportation system practicable. The 

Secretary of Transportation and the 

members of the Board cooperate with 

RSTAC in providing research, technical, 

and other reasonable support. RSTAC 

also prepares an annual report 

concerning its activities and 

recommendations on whatever 

regulatory or legislative relief it 

considers appropriate. RSTAC is not 

subject to the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act. 

RSTAC consists of 19 members. Of 

this number, 15 members are appointed 

by the Chairman of the Board, and the 

remaining 4 members are the Secretary 

of Transportation and the Members of 

the Board, who serve as ex officio, 

nonvoting members. Of the 15 members 

to be appointed, 9 members are voting 

members and are appointed from senior 

executive officers of organizations 

engaged in the railroad and rail 

shipping industries. At least 4 of the 

voting members must be representatives 

of small shippers, as determined by the 

Chairman, and at least 4 of the voting 

members must be representatives of 

Class II or III railroads. The remaining 

6 members to be appointed—3 

representing Class I railroads and 3 

representing large shipper 

organizations—serve in a nonvoting, 

advisory capacity, but are entitled to 

participate in RSTAC deliberations. 

RSTAC is required by statute to meet 

at least semiannually, and has chosen to 

meet 4 times in 2011, with the first 

meeting tentatively scheduled in March 

2011. Meetings are generally held at the 

Board’s headquarters in Washington, 

DC, although some may be held in other 

locations.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 220 / Tuesday, November 16, 2010 / Notices 70081 

The members of RSTAC receive no 

compensation for their services. RSTAC 

members are required to provide for the 

expenses incidental to their service, 

including travel expenses, as the Board 

cannot provide for these expenses. The 

RSTAC Chairman, however, may 

request funding from the Department of 

Transportation to cover travel expenses, 

subject to certain restrictions in ICCTA. 

RSTAC also may solicit and use private 

funding for its activities, again subject to 

certain restrictions in ICCTA. RSTAC 

members currently have elected to 

submit annual dues to pay for RSTAC 

expenses. 

RSTAC members must be citizens of 

the United States and represent as 

broadly as practicable the various 

segments of the railroad and rail shipper 

industries. They may not be full-time 

employees of the United States. Further, 

RSTAC members appointed or reappointed after June 18, 2010, are 

prohibited from serving as federally 

registered lobbyists during their RSTAC 

term. 

The members of RSTAC are appointed 

for a term of 3 years. A member may 

serve after the expiration of his or her 

term until a successor has taken office. 

No member will be eligible to serve in 

excess of 2 consecutive terms. 

Currently, 2 vacancies exist: for a nonvoting representative of a Class I 

railroad, and for a voting representative 

of a small rail shipper. Each vacancy is 

for a 3-year term, to begin immediately 

upon appointment by the Chairman, 

and to end on December 31, 2013. 

Suggestions for a member to fill these 

vacancies should be submitted in letter 

form, identifying the name of the 

candidate and a representation that the 

candidate is willing to serve as a 

member of RSTAC for a 3-year term 

beginning immediately upon 

appointment and ending December 31, 

2013. Suggestions for a candidate for 

membership on RSTAC should be filed 

with the Board by December 13, 2010. 

This action will not significantly 

affect either the quality of the human 

environment or the conservation of 

energy resources. 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 726. 

Decided: November 10, 2010. 

By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, 

Director, Office of Proceedings.

Clearance Clerk.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Release From Federal Grant 

Assurance Obligations for Tucson 

International Airport, Tucson, AZ 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of request to release 

airport land. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) proposes to rule 

and invites public comment on the 

application for a release of 

approximately 2,000 square feet of 

airport property at Tucson International 

Airport, Tucson, Arizona, from all 

conditions contained in the Grant 

Assurances since the parcel of land is 

not needed for airport purposes. The 

property will be sold for its fair market 

value and the proceeds deposited in the 

airport account. The reuse of the land 

for commercial purposes represents a 

compatible land use that will not 

interfere with the airport or its 

operation. The interest of civil aviation 

continues to be served by the release. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before December 16, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Comments on the request may be mailed 

or delivered to the FAA at the following 

address: Tony Garcia, Airports 

Compliance Program Manager, Federal 

Aviation Administration, Airports 

Division, Federal Register Comment, 

15000 Aviation Blvd., Lawndale, CA 

90261. In addition, one copy of the 

comment submitted to the FAA must be 

mailed or delivered to Ms. Jill L. 

Merrick, Vice President of Planning and 

Development, Tucson Airport 

Authority, 7005 South Plumer Avenue, 

Tucson, AZ 85756. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 

Aviation Investment and Reform Act for 

the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 

10–181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this 

notice must be published in the Federal 

Register 30 days before the 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: 

Tucson Airport Authority, Tucson, 

Arizona requested a release from grant 

assurance obligations for approximately 

2,000 square feet of airport land. The 

property is separated from the airport by 

a street and located north of the 

intersection of Valencia Road and Park 

Avenue. Due to its location, the 

property cannot be used for aeronautical 

purposes. The land is presently used for 

parking by the neighboring commercial 

property owner. The property line was 

not correctly stacked causing the 

parking area to encroach into airport 

property. If the commercial property 

corrects the boundary line by 

downsizing the parking area, the 

commercial property will not comply 

with Tucson building code because the 

parking area will be too small. The 

Tucson Airport Authority has agreed to 

sell the small parcel being used for 

parking in order to make the 

commercial property owner whole. The 

release will allow 2,000 square feet to be 

sold to allow the commercial property 

to comply with local law. The sale price 

will be based on its appraised market 

value and the sale proceeds will be 

deposited in the airport account. 

Continued use of the property for 

parking represents a compatible use that 

will not interfere with airport 

operations. Tucson Airport Authority 

will be justly compensated, thereby 

serving the interests of civil aviation.
