traffic and traffic signals is generally 

required because distances between 

them are more compact. These 

conditions tax visual capacity and 

driver response just as intensely as 

interstate driving conditions. The 

veteran drivers in this proceeding have 

operated CMVs safely under those 

conditions for at least 3 years, most for 

much longer. Their experience and 

driving records lead us to believe that 

each applicant is capable of operating in 

interstate commerce as safely as he/she 

has been performing in intrastate 

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 17 applicants 

listed in the notice of June 24, 2011 (76 

FR 37169). 

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 17 

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 no comments in this 

proceeding. 

Conclusion 

Based upon its evaluation of the 17 

exemption applications, FMCSA 

exempts, Danny F. Burnley, Bruce A. 

Cameron, Charles E. Carter, Ronald J. 

Claud, Stewart K. Clayton, Sean R. 

Conorman, Jackie R. Frederick; Robert E. 

Graves, Brian P. Millard, Steven D. 

Nash, Merle M. Price, Terrence F. Ryan, 

Kirby R. Sands, Dennis W. Stubrich, 

Stephen W. Verrette, Joseph A. Wells 

and Leslie H. Wylie 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), Public Law. 104–13, § 2, 109 

Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised at 

44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its 

implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 

1320, require Federal agencies to 

provide 60-days notice to the public for 

comment on information collection 

activities before seeking approval for 

reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 

1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically, 

FRA invites interested respondents to 

comment on the following summary of 

proposed information collection 

activities regarding (i) whether the 

information collection activities are 

necessary for FRA to properly execute 

its functions, including whether the 

activities will have practical utility; (ii)

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology (e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)(i)–(iv); 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)(1)(i)–(iv). FRA believes that 

soliciting public comment will promote 

its efforts to reduce the administrative 

and paperwork burdens associated with 

the collection of information mandated 

by Federal regulations. In summary, 

FRA reasons that comments received 

will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce 

reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it 

organizes information collection 

requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format 

to improve the use of such information; 

and (iii) accurately assess the resources 

expended to retrieve and produce 

information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 

3501. 

Below is a brief summary of the 

currently approved information 

collection request (ICR) that FRA will 

submit for clearance by OMB as 

required under the PRA: 

Title: Inspection Brake System Safety 

Standards for Freight and Other NonPassenger Trains and Equipment (Power 

Brakes and Drawbars). 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0008. 

Abstract: Section 7 of the Rail Safety 

Enforcement and Review Act of 1992, 

Public Law No. 102–365, amended 

Section 202 of the Federal Railroad 

Safety Act of 1970 (45 U.S.C. 421, 431 

et seq.), empowered the Secretary of 

Transportation to conduct a review of 

the Department’s rules with respect to 

railroad power brakes and, where 

applicable, prescribe standards 

regarding dynamic brake equipment. In 

keeping with the Secretary’s mandate 

and the authority delegated from him to 

the FRA Administrator, FRA issued 

revisions to the regulations governing 

freight power brakes and equipment in 

October 2008 by adding a new Subpart 

addressing electronically controlled 

pneumatic (ECP) brake systems. The 

revisions are designed to provide for 

and encourage the safe implementation 

and use of ECT brake system 

technologies. These revisions contain 

specific requirements relating to design, 

interoperability, training, inspection, 

testing, handling defective equipment 

and periodic maintenance related to 

ECP brake systems. The final rule also 

identifies provisions of the existing 

regulations and statutes where FRA is 

proposing to provide flexibility to 

facilitate the voluntary adoption of this 

advanced brake system technology. The 

collection of information is used by FRA 

to monitor and enforce current 

regulatory requirements related to 

power brakes on freight cars as well as 

the recently added requirements related 

to ECP brake systems. The collection of 

information is also used by locomotive 

engineers and road crews to verify that 

the terminal air brake test has been 

performed in a satisfactory manner.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Notice of Availability of a Draft 

Environmental Impact Report/ 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the California High-Speed Train Project 

Fresno to Bakersfield Section 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), United States 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: FRA is issuing this notice to 

advise the public that a Draft 

Environmental Impact Report (EIR)/ 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

has been prepared for the California 

High-Speed Train (HST) Project Fresno 

to Bakersfield Section (Project). FRA is 

the lead Federal agency and the 

California High-Speed Rail Authority 

(Authority) is the lead state agency for 

the environmental review process. 

The Authority plans to construct and 

operate a fully grade-separated, 

dedicated double-track, electric 

powered, passenger rail, high-speed 

railroad along a 114-mile corridor 

between Fresno and Bakersfield, CA. 

The Project includes stations in 

downtown Fresno and Bakersfield, and 

a possible Kings/Tulare Regional Station 

east of Hanford, CA. A heavy 

maintenance facility for assembly, 

testing, and commissioning of trains, 

train inspection and service, and train 

overhaul may be constructed in the 

Fresno to Bakersfield Section. 

The Draft EIR/EIS presents the 

Project’s purpose and need, identifies 

all reasonable alternatives including 

track alignments, stations, and heavy 

maintenance facilities as well as the no 

action alternative, describes the affected 

environment, analyzes the potential 

environmental impacts of all the 

reasonable alternatives and the no 

action alternative, and identifies 

appropriate mitigation measures to 

minimize the potential environmental 

impacts. 

DATES: Written comments on the Draft 

EIR/EIS for the Fresno to Bakersfield 

Section should be provided to the 

Authority on or before September 28, 

2011. Public hearings are scheduled on
