mitigate radioactive levels at the site 

through the use of soil cover or caps of 

various materials. 

• If it becomes necessary through the 

proposed use of the phosphate slag 

storage area for subsurface infrastructure 

enhancements (e.g., buried pipeline), 

TVA would conduct further radiological 

measurement and monitoring to 

determine a worker’s potential exposure 

to ensure safety. 

• No subsurface disturbance or other 

excavation of buried materials would be 

allowed within the low-level radioactive 

waste burial site. 

• TVA would not allow removal of 

groundwater for drinking water (i.e., 

potable use purposes) from anywhere on 

the MSR study area. 

• TVA would adhere to the 

stipulations in the final executed 

Memorandum of Agreement between 

TVA and the Alabama State Historic 

Preservation Officer to mitigate for the 

loss of properties eligible for inclusion 

in the National Register of Historic 

Places. Such mitigation includes 

imposition of architectural controls and 

design guidelines on new owners and 

consideration of these properties in the 

comprehensive master plan. TVA would 

adhere to required measures through 

inclusion of requirements in the transfer 

deed. 

• Site 1CT495, the remnants of 

Wilson Power Plant foundations, shall 

be avoided during any construction in 

the utility corridor to the Tennessee 

River. 

• In the event of construction within 

the utility corridor, TVA would take 

into account the location of the Rockpile 

Hiking Trail and the paved trail 

complex on the north side of 

Reservation Road and, to the extent 

practicable, avoid trail closure or reduce 

effects of trail usage through planning or 

other design features. 

• An approximate 900-foot section of 

paved National Recreation Trail 

Complex, including a protective 

corridor, on the Multipurpose Building 

parcel would be (a) retained by TVA, (b) 

preserved and managed for public 

recreation use under an agreement (e.g., 

easement) between TVA and a new 

landowner, or (c) relocated to skirt the 

boundaries of the Multipurpose 

Building parcel. 

• Prior to any TVA land or buildings 

being transferred from federal 

ownership under any of the Action 

Alternatives, TVA would assure that 

any required environmental due 

diligence assessments are completed. 

The final EIS identified routine and 

nonroutine measures to which future 

landowners could implement 

voluntarily or be required by agencies to 

comply with other federal, state, or local 

regulations. These measures along with 

the above mitigation measures would be 

taken into consideration in the 

development of the comprehensive 

master plan, which would be completed 

and finalized by the Northwest Alabama 

Cooperative District and TVA prior to 

the sale of the MSR property.

Agency Information Collection; 

Activity Under OMB Review: Foreign 

Air Carrier Application for Statement of 

Authorization 

AGENCY: Department of Transportation 

(DOT), Office of the Secretary (OST). 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments; Request OMB Clearance for 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection, Foreign Air 

Carrier Application for Statement of 

Authorization. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13, this notice 

announces that the Information 

Collection Request, abstracted below, is 

being forwarded to the Office of 

Management and Budget for extension 

of approval of currently approved ICR– 

2106–0036, Foreign Air Carrier 

Application for Statement of 

Authorization. Earlier, a Federal 

Register Notice with a 60-day comment 

period was published (78 FR 25781, 

May 2, 2013). The agency did not 

receive any comments to its previous 

notice. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by October 16, 2013.

from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, except Federal holidays. 

Comments: Comments should be sent 

to OMB at the address that appears 

below and should identify the 

associated OMB Approval Number 

2106–0035 and Docket DOT–OST– 

2013–0074. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Approval No. 2106–0035. 

Title: Foreign Air Carrier Application 

for Statement of Authorization. 

Form No.: Form OST 4540. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Foreign Air Carriers. 

Number of Respondents: 

Approximately 100. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2.25 

hours per application. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,000 hours. 

Abstract: Applicants use Form OST 

4540 to request statements of 

authorization to conduct numerous 

types of operations authorized under 

Title 14, CFR Part 212. The form 

requires basic information regarding the 

carrier(s) conducting the operation, the 

party filing the form, the operations 

being conducted, the number of thirdand fourth-freedom flights conducted in 

the last twelve-month period, and 

certification of reciprocity from the 

carrier’s homeland government. DOT 

analysts will use the information 

collected to determine if applications 

for fifth-freedom operations meet the 

public interest requirements necessary 

to authorize such applications. 

Burden Statement: We estimate that 

the industry-wide total hour burden for 

this collection to be approximately 

1,000 hours or approximately 2.25 hours 

per application. Conservatively, we 

estimate the compilation of background 

information will require 1.75 hours, and 

the completion and submission of OST 

Form 4540 will require thirty (30) 

minutes. Reporting the number of thirdand fourth-freedom operations 

conducted by an applicant carrier will 

require collection of flight data, and 

detailed analysis to determine which 

flights conducted by the carrier are 

third- and fourth-freedom. Applicants 

should be able to use data collected for 

the Department’s T–100 program to 

provide this information (under this 

program, carriers are required 

periodically to compile and report 

certain traffic data to the Department, as 

more fully described in the Docket 

referenced in footnote 1 below). The 

Bureau of Transportation Statistics 

(BTS) provide carriers with a computer 

program that allows them to compile 

and monitor, among other things, flight 

origin and destination data, to be used 

in making the carriers’ T–100

1The rule-making associated with the T–100 

program can be found on the Federal Docket 

Management System (FDMS) at http://

www.regulations.gov, in Docket DOT–OST–1998– 

4043. Information regarding burden hours is on file 

in the Office of Aviation Analysis (X–50). 

2The Office of Aviation Analysis (X–50) 

estimated that small-carriers would require 1 

burden hour per report, and large carriers would 

require 3 burden hours per report to analyze and 

report T–100 program data. Considering that the 

data required in this information collection can be 

derived from data already collected, we have taken 

an average of the estimated time required, and 

conservatively shortened the time by 45 minutes 

because no new data entry will be required. 

3Calculation: (4 burden hours per application) × 

(30 foreign homelands) × (2 requests per year) = 240 

annual burden hours. Apportioning 240 annual 

burden hours equally among an average of 430 

applications annually = approximately 30 burden 

minutes per application. 

submissions.1 We estimated that carriers 

will require 1.25 hours per application2

to compile and analyze the data 

necessary to disclose the number of 

third- and fourth-freedom flights 

conducted within the twelve-month 

period preceding the filing of an 

application. 

Foreign carriers will also have to 

provide evidence that their homeland 

government will afford reciprocity to 

U.S. carriers seeking authority for the 

similar fifth-, sixth- and seventhfreedom operations. Carriers may cite 

certifications submitted by carriers from 

the same homeland if that homeland 

issued such certification within the 

preceding six-month period. 

Approximately 100 carriers from 

roughly 30 distinct homelands use OST 

Form 4540 to apply for statements of 

authorization annually. We estimate 

that one foreign carrier from any given 

homeland will expend roughly 4 hours 

every six-months to obtain certification 

from its homeland governments.3 We 

have apportioned 30 minutes to each 

application to account for the time 

required to obtain certifications from 

homeland governments. 

We have no empirical data to indicate 

how much time is required for a person 

to complete OST Form 4540; however, 

anecdotal evidence reveals that 

respondents spend thirty (30) minutes 

or less completing the form and brief 

justification. In some cases, respondents 

spend a limited amount of time, less 

than ten (10) minutes, reviewing the 

form before sending it via facsimile or 

email to the Department. In the interest 

of providing a conservative estimate so 

as to not understate the burden hours, 

we estimate the hour burden for 

completing OST Form 4540 as thirty 

(30) minutes.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2013–0108] 

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Applications; Epilepsy and Seizure 

Disorders 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of applications for 

exemption, request for comments. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces receipt of 

applications from 6 individuals for an 

exemption from the prohibition against 

persons with a clinical diagnosis of 

epilepsy or any other condition which 

is likely to cause a loss of consciousness 

or any loss of ability to operate a 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) from 

operating CMVs in interstate commerce. 

The regulation and the associated 

advisory criteria published in the Code 

of Federal Regulations as the 

‘‘Instructions for Performing and 

Recording Physical Examinations’’ have 

resulted in numerous drivers being 

prohibited from operating CMVs in 

interstate commerce based on the fact 

that they have had one or more seizures 

and are taking anti-seizure medication, 

rather than an individual analysis of 

their circumstances by a qualified 

medical examiner. If granted, the 

exemptions would enable these 

individuals who have had one or more 

seizures and are taking anti-seizure 

medication to operate CMVs for 2 years 

in interstate commerce. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before October 16, 2013.
