**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Concept Overview

The U.S. Department of Transportation (Department or DOT) is evaluating the feasibility and value of a new cloud-based platform to coordinate, develop, and showcase identified issues and resulting solutions to current issues in the Transportation industry incollaboration with the public and nontraditional industry players and entrepreneurs. The goal of the DTE initiative is to simultaneously increase the supply of transportation solutions available, through injecting private capital and expanding the industry base, and the demand for those solutions, by involving consumers of those solutions including state and local government, individual citizens, and the transportation infrastructure industry.

DTE is intended to create an exchange across the Transportation industry— connecting people and technology for transportation innovation. Stakeholders could include: Citizens, businesses, state and local governments, industry, entrepreneurs, researchers, and
investors. DTE is intended to drive
collaboration across these stakeholder communities by identifying existing problems, establishing a one-stop-shop for resources to develop solutions, connecting users to develop partnerships, and then showcasing those solutions. It would present a consolidated view of existing transportation-related solutions as well as issues in need of a technology
solution.

The community would be managed to engage and promote ideas, report back on implemented solutions, and connect with stakeholders. While digital transportation solutions exist in the public and private sector, these technology innovations are not easily shared across political jurisdictions and potential markets, nor are these solutions matched to investors that may help them scale. DTE will ‘‘build a home’’ for transportation technology innovation. More specifically, the functions that DTE might provide include, but are not limited to:

Prioritizing Problems: Help identify and prioritize major transportation problems by size and intensity through ideation and crowd sourcing from citizens, industry, operators, businesses, experts and academics.

Solutions Teaming: Encourage teaming of entrepreneurs, developers, experts and government entities to create innovative digital transportation strategies and plans for funding.

Funding and Financing: Attract attention of the investment community including angels, venture capitalists and strategic investors to digital transportation business plans for funding. Stimulate solution development through innovative funding mechanisms like prizes and competitions.

Market Development: Create a transportation focused service provider exchange consisting of legal, marketing, communications, accounting and other expertise. Increase the supply of solutions by involving non-traditional actors as well as the demand by drawing
the attention of users and investors.

DOT is seeking partners to develop, build and maintain the DTE. Although the DOT will act as a partner in the management of the exchange, DTE will utilize strategic partnerships with industry leaders to provide an externally hosted solution. DOT ispotentially looking to develop a publicprivate partnership to support this work. Partners would be expected to stand-up and sustain a business model over time, understanding DOT may not have funding to contribute. Please see the detailed description of this concept

on http://www.dot.gov/open/DTE before submitting comments.

Stakeholder Participation and Request
for Comments

DOT is interested in general comments pertaining to the concept paper and is also particularly interested in comments about the following questions:

• How would you use the DTE? What transportation topics should the DTE focus on? How do you think the concepts of using shared/interactive technology (DTE) can best be used in the transportation industry?

• Given what you currently know about the use of DTE related concepts, are there any additional functions that would be needed for you to use it most effectively? • Can you suggest specific opportunities to build public/private partnerships as they relate to the DTE?

• How can in-person/face to face interactions compliment the online DTE? If so, what kinds of activities would best connect people and technology to stimulate transportation

innovation?

• Who are the critical partners that should be involved in launching and maintaining the DTE to ensure its

success?

• In your opinion, what are the greatest challenges for integrating the use of shared/interactive technology (DTE) in the transportation industry?

• What strategies would you use to stimulate innovation in this era of using shared/interactive technology in the transportation arena? The preferred method for the
submission of comments on these questions is through the ideascale site (DTE.ideascale.com) or at the public meeting, though alternative methods for submitting comments are described
earlier in this notice.

Stakeholder Meeting Procedures

The meeting will begin with a discussion of Department’s preliminary concept for DTE and a summary of comments received to date. After that, we plan to facilitate focused discussions
on the issues identified earlier in this notice. The Department’s Director of Public Engagement will preside over the meeting. Other senior officials will participate in this meeting as well to discussion issues pertaining to this project concept with stakeholders.

The meeting is designed to gather additional information for DTE concept and partnership. Therefore, the meeting
will be conducted in an informal and
non-adversarial manner. It is our intent that the meeting will provide an opportunity for the senior officials to
interact with individuals or stakeholder representatives. To enable them to effectively participate in the meeting, they will need some information in advance. As a result, we are establishing the following process.

1. Preparing to Attend the Stakeholder Meeting:

a. Commenters are asked to RSVP for the meeting via e-mail ( Open@dot.gov ) by September 2, 2011 and indicate how you intend to participate (via webcast, call in by phone, or in person). Due to security requirements, all public attendees must register to ensure their access to the building. To register, contact Kristen Baldwin. If you intend to attend the meeting in person and are a U.S. citizen please RSVP with your name and agency/company. Foreign


### 49834 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 155 / Thursday, August 11, 2011 / Notices

National registrants must provide your full name, title, country of citizenship, date of birth, passport number, and passport expiration date when registering. Because seating space is limited, we may have to limit attendees in order of date and time of registration.

b. Please submit any initial comments in advance of the meeting through one
of the mechanisms identified earlier in
this notice. The initial comments should contain enough details to permit DOT officials to sufficiently prepare responses to, ask questions about, and
discuss those comments.

c. The initial comments may be augmented anytime before the end of the full comment period.

d. Anyone who needs auxiliary aids and services, such as sign language interpreters, to effectively participate in the meeting should contact Ms. Baldwin as soon as possible.

2. Stakeholder Meeting: a. After receiving the initial stakeholder comments, the Department will organize those suggestions by topic for discussion during the public meeting.

b. The Department will hold the meeting beginning at 9:30 a.m. ET on September 16, 2011 at the Department of Transportation, West Building, Ground Floor, DOT Conference Center, Oklahoma Room, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC. We will make a meeting outline and agenda
available on http://www.dot.gov/open/

DTE by September 12, 2011 in advance of the meeting.

c. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early for processing through security. All participants and attendees must enter through the New Jersey Avenue entrance (West Building—at the corner of New Jersey Avenue and M Street, SE.). Photo identification is required and Foreign National attendees must bring their passports with them. Participants or attendees who have Federal government identification will still need to register to attend. To facilitate security screening, all participants and attendees are encouraged to limit the bags and other items (laptops, cameras, etc.) they bring into the building. Anyone exiting the building for any reason will be required to re-enter through the security checkpoint at the New Jersey Avenue

entrance.

d. DOT does not offer visitor parking; we suggest that attendees consider using alternative means of transportation to the building. DOT Headquarters is served by Metrorail (Navy Yard station), Metrobus, DC Circulator, and taxi service. There are a number of private parking lots near the DOT building, but the DOT cannot guarantee the availability of parking spaces.

e. For those unable to attend the meeting in person, portions will be broadcast via Web streaming (with captioning) and over a listen-only phone line. Registrants will be given the Web URL or phone number on September 16, 2011. Because the number of people who can participate in Web streaming and by phone is limited, we will provide access in order of date and time of registration.

3. Other Written Comments: The Department will continue to accept written comments through September 23, 2011. Those who do not wish to attend the stakeholder meeting may, of course, submit comments at any time during the comment period through the other methods identified
earlier in this notice.

4. Follow-up Action by DOT: We will place a transcript or summary of the stakeholder meeting on our Web site (http://www.dot.gov/open/DTE ) as soon as possible after the end of the meeting; the record will be available in
the docket on http:// www.regulations.gov.

DOT IdeaScale Web Site

To provide the public with alternative means of providing feedback to DOT in ways that may better suit their needs, we have created a Web site using
IdeaScale that will allow submissions to
DOT in a less formal manner. This Web site will provide members of the public an opportunity to submit their ideas about our concept and partnership. Participants in this site may discuss one another’s ideas and agree/disagree with others. This Web site may be particularly useful for individuals and small entities that prefer a less formal method of submitting ideas to DOT. It may also assist participants in refining their suggestions and gathering
additional information or data to support those suggestions.

To ensure that ideas are most useful, you should include a description of any concerns regarding the concept (e.g. it is duplicative, too costly, etc.), any supporting information (e.g., actual cost or benefit data, references to duplicative slides, etc. * * *), and comments on the particular issues identified in the concept overview section of this notice that would assist DOT in making a decision. Please also include in your comment whether you found this Web site useful for your purposes, so that we can best plan how to deploy DOT’s scarce resources to most effectively reach the public in the future. To go directly to the IdeaScale Web site use the following link: DTE.ideascale.com. Follow-Up Action by DOT

As soon as possible after the stakeholder meeting and the close of the comment period, taking account of the
number of comments received and the complexity of issues raised, DOT will publish a report providing at least a brief response to the comments we receive, including a description of any
further action we intend to take on the
initiative’s Web site at http:// www.dot.gov/open/DTE.

Issue Date: August 5, 2011.
