DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Air Force 

Revision to Military Freight Traffic 

Unified Rules Publication (MFTURP) 

NO. 1, Section F, Air Transportation 

Service Provider Rules and Domestic 

Air Tender Freight Carrier Registration 

Program (FCRP) 

AGENCY: Department of the Air Force, 

Department of Defense. 

SUMMARY: Air Mobility Command 

(AMC) is providing notice that it 

intends to change Domestic Air Tender 

policy within the MFTURP NO. 1 to 

restrict registration in the FCRP for 

Domestic Air Tenders to Civil Reserve 

Air Fleet (CRAF) Transportation Service 

Providers (TSP) only. CRAF TSPs may, 

if they choose to, act through a freight 

forwarder, logistics company, or broker. 

This change only affects domestic air 

tender TSPs such as airlines, logistics 

companies, freight forwarders, and 

brokers. The purpose of the new policy 

is to strengthen the CRAF program in 

support of the national defense airlift 

objectives to ensure military and civil 

airlift resources are capable of meeting 

the defense mobilization and 

deployment requirements supporting 

U.S. Defense & Foreign Policy. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

HQ AMC/A4TC NLT (30) days after the 

post date. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments to Air 

Mobility Command, Directorate of 

Logistics, Cargo & Traffic Management 

Branch (A4TC), Commercial Services 

Team, 402 Scott Drive, Unit 2A2, Scott 

AFB, IL 62225–5308. Electronic 

comments or requests for additional 

information may be sent by email to: 

org.amca4–67@us.af.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

AMC/A4TC, Commercial Services 

Team, (618) 229–4684, THOMAS J. 

TRUMBULL II, Colonel, USAF, Chief 

Air Transportation Division Directorate 

of Logistics. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Reference: 10 USC 2304(c)(3), 

Industrial Mobilization, exception to 

full and open competition is essential to 

maintain adequate airlift services in 

case of a national emergency requiring 

activation of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet 

(CRAF). The use of the Industrial 

Mobilization exception to limit 

competition to CRAF carriers effectively 

supports the implementation of the 

National Airlift Policy by incentivizing 

carriers to keep vital commercial airlift 

resources available as a mobilization 

base in the event of a national or 

military emergency. The CRAF 

participation eligibility requirement, 

which will be included in the domestic 

air tender program, supports the 

development and maintenance of a 

robust CRAF program. 

Background: CRAF is a voluntary 

program through which the nation’s 

airlines provide stand-by commitments 

to support mobilization as a supplement 

to DOD organic airlift capacity. CRAF 

participants provide civilian airlift 

assets needed to support military 

operations and mobilization 

requirements enabling the DOD to meet 

peacetime requirements, surge needs, 

and mobilization requirements for major 

crises.

52308 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 170 / Wednesday, September 3, 2014 / Notices 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 10,040. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 3,386. 

Abstract: The Middle Grades 

Longitudinal Study of 2016–2017 

(MGLS:2017), conducted by the 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES), is the first study to follow a 

nationally-representative sample of 

students as they enter and move through 

the middle grades (grades 6–8). The data 

collected through repeated measures of 

key constructs will provide a rich 

descriptive picture of the academic 

experiences and development of 

students during these critical years and 

will allow researchers to examine 

associations between contextual factors 

and student outcomes. The study will 

focus on student achievement in 

mathematics and literacy, along with 

measures of student executive function, 

socioemotional well-being and other 

outcomes. The study will also include 

an oversample of students with different 

types of disabilities that will provide 

descriptive information on their 

outcomes, educational experiences, and 

special education services. Baseline data 

for the MGLS:2017 will be collected 

from a nationally-representative sample 

of 6th grade students in spring of 2017 

with annual follow-ups in spring 2018 

and spring 2019, when most of the 

students in the sample will be in grades 

7 and 8, respectively. This request is to 

conduct the MGLS:2017 field test in the 

Spring of 2015, to evaluate the proposed 

assessments, instruments, and data 

collection procedures in a real world 

setting; identify potential challenges 

that could hinder the national effort; 

and test various procedures and 

strategies to inform plans for the 

national study.
