Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 20 / Monday, January 31, 2011 / Notices 5427 

commerce. Consequently, FMCSA finds 

that exempting these applicants from 

the vision standard in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(10) is likely to achieve a level 

of safety equal to that existing without 

the exemption. For this reason, the 

Agency is granting the exemptions for 

the 2-year period allowed by 49 U.S.C. 

31136(e) and 31315 to the 24 applicants 

listed in the notice of December 14, 

2010 (75 FR 77942). 

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 24 

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. The comment was 

considered and discussed below. 

The Pennsylvania Department of 

Transportation stated that it was in 

favor of granting a Federal vision 

exemption to Bobby Sawyers. 

Conclusion 

Based upon its evaluation of the 24 

exemption applications, FMCSA 

exempts, Gary S. Alvarez, Wayne D. 

Bost, James M. Brasher, Marcus L. 

Conner, Joseph L. Dahlman, Brett K. 

Hasty, Fredrick A. Irby, Matthew B. 

Lairamore, Garry D. Layton, Boynton L. 

Manuel, Anthony W. Miller, Wesley G. 

Moore, Rocky Moorhead, Gary J. 

Peterson, Bernard J. Phillips, Michael J. 

Roberts, Alvaro F. Rodriguez, Bobby W. 

Sawyers, Lynn R. Schraeder, John R. 

Shaver, Myron A. Smith, Ricky L. Watts, 

Cameron R. Whitford, and Olen L. 

Williams, 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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Transit Administration 

TIGGER and Clean Fuels Grant 

Program Funds 

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration 

(FTA), DOT. 

ACTION: TIGGER and Clean Fuels Grant 

Program Announcement of Project 

Selections. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Transit 

Administration (FTA) announces the 

selection of projects funded in support 

of the Transit Investments for 

Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reduction 

(TIGGER) program and Clean Fuels 

Grant program which is enhanced with 

Section 5309 Bus and Bus Facilities 

program funds. This funding supports 

the U.S. Department of Transportation’s 

environmental sustainability efforts, 

which were announced in FTA’s notice 

of funding availability (NOFA) on April 

13, 2010. The TIGGER program makes 

funds available for capital investments 

that will reduce the energy consumption 

or greenhouse gas emissions of public 

transportation systems. The Clean Fuels 

Grant program makes funds available to 

assist nonattainment and maintenance 

areas in achieving or maintaining the 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

for ozone and carbon monoxide and 

supports emerging clean fuel and 

advanced propulsion technologies for 

transit buses and markets for those 

technologies. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Successful applicants should contact 

the appropriate FTA Regional office 

(Appendix) for specific information 

regarding applying for the funds or 

proposal specific questions. For general 

program information on TIGGER, 

contact Walter Kulyk, Office of Mobility 

Innovation, (202) 366–4995, e-mail: 

walter.kulyk@dot.gov. For general 

program information on the Clean Fuels 

Grant program, contact Vanessa 

Williams, Office of Program 

Management, at (202) 366–4818, e-mail: 

vanessa.williams@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A total of 

$75 million was available for FTA’s 

TIGGER program and $81 million for 

the Clean Fuels Grant program. In 

response to the NOFA, FTA received a 

total of 274 proposals requesting over 

$1.4 billion in program funds. The 

project proposals were evaluated based 

on the criteria detailed in the April 13, 

2010 Notice of Funding Availability. 

Projects funded with Clean Fuels Grant 

and Bus program funds are included in 

Table 1. Projects funded with the 

TIGGER program funds are included in 

Table 2. Grantees selected for 

competitive discretionary funding 

should work with their FTA regional 

office to finalize the application in 

FTA’s Transportation Electronic Award 

Management (TEAM) system, so that 

funds can be obligated expeditiously. 

Funds must be used for the purposes 

specified in the competitive application. 

Clean Fuels and Bus projects can be 

funded at up to 83 percent Federal share 

for eligible vehicle purchases. The 83 

percent share is a blended figure 

representing 80 percent of the vehicle 

and 90 percent of the vehicle-related 

equipment to be acquired in compliance 

with the Clean Air Act. The 83 percent 

share does not apply to facilities, for 

which the costs are more variable. The 

eligibility of facility-related cost element 

at the 90 percent share will be reviewed 

for eligibility of the higher Federal share 

on a case-by-case basis as part of the 

grant application process. The FY 2010 

Appropriations Act allows a 90 percent 

Federal share for total cost of a biodiesel 

bus and 90 percent Federal share for the 

net capital cost of factory installed 

hybrid electric propulsion systems and 

any equipment related to such a system. 

TIGGER projects can be funded at up to 

100 percent Federal share. A 

discretionary project identification 

number has been assigned to each 

project for tracking purposes and must 

be used in the TEAM application. 

Selected projects have pre-award 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
5428 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 20 / Monday, January 31, 2011 / Notices 

authority as of November 4, 2010. Postaward reporting requirements include 

submission of the Financial Federal 

Report and Milestone reports in TEAM 

as appropriate (see FTA.C.5010.1D). 

Recipients of TIGGER funds must report 

on an annual basis: (1) Actual annual 

energy consumed within the project 

scope attributable to the investment for 

the energy consumption projects; (2) 

actual greenhouse gas emissions within 

the project scope attributable to the 

investment for greenhouse gas reduction 

projects; and, (3) actual annual 

reductions or increase in operating costs 

to the investment for all projects. 

The grantee must comply with all 

applicable Federal statutes, regulations, 

executive orders, FTA circulars, and 

other Federal administrative 

requirements in carrying out the project 

supported by the FTA grant. The Clean 

Fuels Grant and Bus program funds 

allocated in this announcement must be 

obligated in a grant by September 30, 

2013. The TIGGER funds allocated in 

this announcement must be obligated by 

September 30, 2012. 

Issued in Washington, DC, this 26th day of 

January, 2011.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. RR 999 (Amendment No. 5)] 

Released Rates of Motor Common 

Carriers of Household Goods 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board. 

ACTION: Notice, request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Surface Transportation 

Board seeks written public comments 

and evidence on the average per-pound 

replacement value for household goods 

that are lost or damaged while in the 

care of a moving company. 

DATES: Comments are due on or before 

March 15, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted either via the Board’s e-filing 

format or in traditional paper format. 

Any person using e-filing should attach 

a document and otherwise comply with 

the instructions at the E-FILING link on 

the Board’s website at http:// 

www.stb.dot.gov. Any person submitting 

a filing in the traditional paper format 

should send an original and 10 copies 

referring to Docket No. RR 999 

(Amendment No. 5) to: Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001.

Julia Farr (202) 245–0359. Assistance for 

the hearing impaired is available 

through the Federal Information Relay 

Service (FIRS) at: (800) 877–8339. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board 

issued a decision in this proceeding on 

January 21, 2011. In that decision, the 

Board, following notice and comment, 

adopted certain changes concerning the 

responsibility of interstate moving 

companies to pay for damage to or loss 

of customers’ household goods and 

required the moving companies to 

amend particular documents they 

provide to consumers. The decision is 

available on the Board’s Web site at 

http://www.stb.dot.gov. The Board seeks 

comment on one aspect of that decision: 

The calculation of replacement value of 

household goods when the consumer 

elects to have the moving company 

assume liability for the replacement 

value of the consumer’s goods but 

neglects to write in the total value for 

the shipment. 

Unless otherwise agreed to, a moving 

company is liable for the cost to replace 

lost or damaged goods, up to a total 

value stated by the consumer. For 

instance, if the consumer stated that the 

shipment had a value of $200,000, and 

the entire shipment were destroyed, the 

moving company would be liable for a 

$200,000. However, if a consumer does 

not indicate a total value for the 

shipment, the Board’s decision would 

require the moving company to be liable 

for the greater of (1) $6,000 or (2) $6.00 

per pound of the lost or destroyed 

item(s). The $6.00-per-pound figure is 

meant to represent the replacement 

value of an average shipment of 

household goods. The Board seeks 

comments and evidence concerning this 

figure, particularly whether some other 

figure would more closely represent the 

average per-pound value of household 

goods in an interstate move. Any 

interested person may submit comments 

or evidence. If no evidence or comments 

are received on this issue, the Board’s 

decision establishing the $6.00-perpound limit will become effective on 

April 1, 2011. 

This action will not significantly 

affect either the quality of the human 

environment or the conservation of 

energy resources. 

Decided: January 26, 2011. 

By the Board, Chairman Elliott, Vice 

Chairman Nottingham, and Commissioner 

Mulvey.
