Background: The data for the 

Transportation of Hazardous Materials; 

Highway Routing designations ICR is 

collected under authority of 49 U.S.C. 

5112 and 5125. Specifically, 49 U.S.C. 

5112(c) requires that the Secretary, in 

coordination with the States, ‘‘shall 

update and publish periodically a list of 

current effective hazardous materials 

highway route designations.’’ 

Under 49 CFR 397.73, the FMCSA 

Administrator has the authority to 

request that each State and Indian tribe, 

through its routing agency, provide 

information identifying hazardous 

materials designations within their 

jurisdictions. That information is 

collected and consolidated by FMCSA 

and published annually, in whole or as 

updates, in the Federal Register. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the performance of 

FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of 

the estimated burden; (3) ways for 

FMCSA to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the collected 

information; and (4) ways that the 

burden could be minimized without 

reducing the quality of the collected 

information.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

FMCSA announces its plan to submit 

the Information Collection Request (ICR) 

described below to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. This ICR notifies 

the FMCSA of when a motor carrier, 

freight forwarder, or property broker 

requests to amend or revoke its 

approved registration of authority. On 

August 24, 2010, FMCSA published a 

Federal Register notice allowing for a 

60-day comment period on the ICR. Two 

comments in support of the ICR were 

received by the agency. 

DATES: Please send your comments by 

January 13, 2011. OMB must receive 

your comments by this date in order to 

act quickly on the ICR. 

ADDRESSES: All comments should 

reference Federal Docket Management 

System (FDMS) Docket Number 

FMCSA–2010–0341. Interested persons 

are invited to submit written comments 

on the proposed information collection 

to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget. Comments 

should be addressed to the attention of 

the Desk Officer, Department of 

Transportation/Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Administration, and sent via 

electronic mail to 

oira_submission@omb.eop.gov, or faxed 

to (202) 395–6974, or mailed to the

through Friday, except Federal holidays. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Request for Revocation of 

Authority. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0018. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently-approved information 

collection. 

Form Number: OCE–46. 

Respondents: Motor carriers, freight 

forwarders and property brokers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,700. 

Estimated Time per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Expiration Date: February 28, 2011. 

Form: OCE–46. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 925 

hours [3,700 annual Form OCE–46 filers 

× 15 minutes/60 minutes per filing = 

925]. 

Background: Title 49 of the United 

States Code (U.S.C.) authorizes the 

Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) 

to promulgate regulations governing the 

registration of for-hire motor carriers of 

regulated commodities (49 U.S.C. 

13902), surface transportation freight 

forwarders (49 U.S.C. 13903), and 

property brokers (49 U.S.C. 13904). 

Under 49 U.S.C. 13905(c), each 

registration is effective from the date 

specified. Section 13905(d) grants the 

Secretary the authority to amend or 

revoke a registration at the registrant’s 

request. On complaint, or on the 

Secretary’s own initiative, the Secretary 

may also suspend, amend, or revoke any 

part of the registration of a motor 

carrier, broker, or freight forwarder for 

willful failure to comply with the 

regulations, an order of the Secretary, or 

a condition of its registration. 

Form OCE–46 is used by 

transportation entities to voluntarily 

apply for revocation of their registration 

authority in whole or in part. FMCSA 

uses the form to seek information 

concerning the registrant’s docket 

number, name and address, and the 

reasons for the revocation request. This 

ICR is being revised due to an increase 

in the estimated number of annual 

respondents from 3,250 to 3,700 along 

with a new notarization fee. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

revised information collection request, 

including: (1) The necessity and 

usefulness of the information collection 

for FMCSA to meet its goal in reducing 

truck crashes; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burdens; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, usefulness, and clarity of 

the collected information; and (4) ways 

to minimize the collection burden 

without reducing the quality of the 

collected information. The agency will 

summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection.

77942 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 14, 2010 / Notices 

ACTION: Notice of final disposition. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA previously 

announced its decision to renew the 

exemptions from the vision requirement 

in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations for 17 individuals. FMCSA 

has statutory authority to exempt 

individuals from the vision requirement 

if the exemptions granted will not 

compromise safety. The Agency has 

concluded that granting these 

exemptions will provide a level of safety 

that will be equivalent to, or greater 

than, the level of safety maintained, 

Director, Medical Programs, (202) 366– 

4001, fmcsamedical@dot.gov, FMCSA, 

without the exemptions for these 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. 

Mary D. Gunnels Department of 

Transportation, 1200 New Jersey

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 for a 2- 

year period 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.’’ The statute also 

allows the Agency to renew exemptions 

at the end of the 2-year period. The 

comment period ended on November 

18, 2010 (75 FR 64396). 

Discussion of Comments 

FMCSA received no comments in this 

proceeding. 

Conclusion 

The Agency has not received any 

adverse evidence on any of these drivers 

that indicates that safety is being 

compromised. Based upon its 

evaluation of the 17 renewal 

applications, FMCSA renews the 

Federal vision exemptions for Rick A. 

Benevides, Allen S. Bush, Delone W. 

Dudley, Irvin L. Eaddy. James W. 

Lappan, Jeromy W. Leatherman, Ernest 

B. Martin, Mark L. McWhorter, 

Raymond C. Miller, James G. Mitchell, 

Dennis E. Palmer, Jr., Sylvester Silver, 

James D. St. Peter, Kenneth C. Steele, 

Michael Sutton, John E. Rains, and 

Brian W. Whitmer. 

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

and 31315, each renewal 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.

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 a 2-year period 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 at the 

end of each 2-year period. The 24 

individuals listed in this notice have 

each requested such an exemption from 

the vision requirement in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers 

of CMVs in interstate commerce. 

Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate 

the qualifications of each applicant to 

determine whether granting an 

exemption will achieve the required 

level of safety mandated by statute.
