SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Improvement of our regulations is a prime goal of the Department of Transportation (Department or DOT). Our regulations should be clear, simple, timely, fair, reasonable, and necessary. They should not be issued wi thout appropriate involvement of the public; once issued, they should be periodically review ed and revised, as needed, to assure that they continue to meet the needs for which t hey originally were designed. To view additional information about the Department of Transportation's regulatory activities online, go to http://regs.dot.gov. Among other things, this website provides a report, updated monthly, on the status of the DOT si gnificant rulemakings listed in the semiannual Agenda.

To help the Department achieve thes e goals and in accordance with Executive Order (EO) 12866, “Regulatory Planning and Review ,” (58 FR 51735; Oct 4, 1993) and the Department’s Regulatory Policies and Proc edures (44 FR 11034; Feb 26, 1979), the Department prepares a semiannual regulatory agenda. It summarizes all current and projected rulemaking, reviews of existing regulations, and completed actions of the Department. These are matters on which action has begun or is projected during the succeeding 12 months or such longer period as may be anticipated or for which action has been completed since the last agenda.

The agendas are based on reports submi tted by the offices initiating the rulemaking and are reviewed by the Department Regulations Council. The Department’s last agenda was published in the Federal Register on December 20, 2010 (75 FR 79812). The next one is scheduled for publication in the Federal Register in fall 2011.

The Internet is the basic means for disseminating the Unified Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda is available online at www.regi nfo.gov, in a format that offers users a greatly enhanced ability to obtain in formation from the Agenda database.

Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for the regulatory flexibility agendas required by the Regulatory Flexibilit y Act (5 U.S.C. 602), DOT’s printed agenda entries include only:

1. The Agency’s agenda preamble;
2. Rules that are in the Agency’s regulat ory flexibility agenda, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because they ar e likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities; and
3. Any rules that the Agency has identified fo r periodic review under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act’s Agenda requirements. These elements are: Sequence Number; Title; Section 610 Review, if applicab le; Legal Authority; Abstract; Timetable; Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Required ; Agency Contact; and Regulation Identifier Number (RIN). Additional information (for detailed list see section heading “Explanation of Information on the Agenda”) on these entri es is available in the Unified Agenda published on the Internet.

### Significant/Priority Rulemakings

The agenda covers all rules and regulations of the Department. We have classified rules as a DOT agency priority in the agenda if they are, essential, very costly, controversial, or of substantial public interest under our Regulatory Policies and Procedures. All DOT agency priority rulemaki ng documents are subject to review by the Secretary of Transportation. If the Offi ce of Management and Budget (OMB) decides a rule is subject to its review under Execut ive Order 12866, we have classified it as significant in the agenda.

Explanation of Information on the Agenda

An Office of Management and Budget memorandum, dated January 21, 2011, requires the format for this agenda.

First, the agenda is divided by initiating offices. Then, the agenda is divided into five categories: (1)Pprerule stage, (2) proposed rule stage, (3) final rule stage, (4) long-term actions, and (5) completed actions. For each entry, the agenda provides the following information: (1) its “significance”; (2) a short, descriptive title; (3) its legal basis; (4) the related regulatory citation in the Code of F ederal Regulations; (5) any legal deadline and, if so, for what action (e.g., NPRM, final rule); (6) an abstract; (7) a timetable, including the earliest expected date for a decision on whet her to take the action; (8) whether the rulemaking will affect small entities and/or levels of government and, if so, which categories; (9) whether a Regulatory Flexibilit y Act (RFA) analysis is required (for rules that would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities); (10) a listing of any analyses an office will prepare or has prepared for the action (with minor exceptions, DOT requires an economic an alysis for all its rulemakings.); (11) an agency contact office or official who can pr ovide further information; (12) a Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) assigned to identif y an individual rulemaking in the agenda and facilitate tracing further action on the issue; (13) whether t he action is subject to the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act; (14) whether the action is subject to the Energy Act; and (15) whether the action is major under the congressional review provisions of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairne ss Act. If there is information that does not fit in the other categories, it will be included under a separate heading entitled “Additional Information.”

For nonsignificant regulations iss ued routinely and frequently as a part of an established body of technical requirements (such as the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airspace Rules), to keep those requirement s operationally current, we only include the general category of the regulations, the ident ity of a contact office or official, and an indication of the expected number of regulat ions; we do not list individual regulations.

In the “Timetable” column, we use abbr eviations to indicate the particular documents being considered. ANPRM stands for Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, SNPRM for Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and NPRM for Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Listing a future date in this column does not mean we have made a decision to issue a document; it is the ear liest date on which we expect to make a decision on whether to issue it. In addition, these dates are based on current schedules. Information received subsequent to the issuance of this agenda could result in a decision not to take regulatory action or in changes to proposed publication dates. For example,
the need for further evaluation could result in a later publication date; evidence of a greater need for the regulation could result in an earlier publication date.

### Finally, a dot ( ● ) preceding an entry indicates that the entry appears in the agenda for
the first time.

Request for Comments

General

Our agenda is intended primarily for t he use of the public. Since its inception, we have made modifications and refinements that we believe provide the public with more helpful information, as well as make the agen da easier to use. We would like you, the public, to make suggestions or comments on how the agenda could be further improved.

Reviews

We also seek your suggestions on which of our existing regulations you believe need to be reviewed to determine whether they should be revised or revoked. We particularly draw your attention to the Department’s review plan in Appendix D.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Department is especially interested in obtaining information on requirements that have a “significant economic impact on a su bstantial number of small entities” and, therefore, must be reviewed under the R egulatory Flexibility Act. If you have any suggested regulations, please submit them to us, along with your explanation of why they
should be reviewed.

In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, comments are specifically invited on regulations that we have targeted for review under section 610 of the Act. The phrase (Section 610 Review) appears at the end of the title for these reviews. Please see Appendix D for the Department’s section 610 review plans.

Consultation With State, Local, and Tribal Governments

Executive orders 13132 and 13175 require us to develop an accountable process to ensure “meaningful and timely input” by St ate, local, and tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies that have federalism or tribal implications. These policies are defined in the Executive orders to include regulations that have “substantial direct effects” on States or Indian tribes , on the relationship between the Federal Government and them, or on the distributi on of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and various levels of gov ernment or Indian tribes. Therefore, we encourage State and local governments or Indian tr ibes to provide us with information about how the Department’s rulemakings impact them.

### Purpose

The Department is publishing this regulatory agenda in the Federal Register to share with interested members of the public the Department’s preliminary expectations regarding its future regulatory actions. This should enable the public to be more aware of the Department’s regulatory activity and should result in more effective public participation. This publication in the Federal Register does not impose any binding obligation on the Department or any of the o ffices within the Department with regard to any specific item on the agenda. Regulatory ac tion, in addition to the items listed, is not precluded.

Dated: March 28, 2011.

NAME: Ray LaHood, Secretary of Transportation.

Appendix D—Review Plans for Section 610 and Other Requirements

Part I

– The Plan

General

The Department of Transportation ha s long recognized the importance of regularly reviewing its existing regulations to det ermine whether they need to be revised or revoked. Our 1979 Regulatory Policies and Procedures require such reviews. We also have responsibilities under Executive Order 12866, “Regulatory Planning and Review,” and section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act to conduct such reviews. This includes the use of plain language techniques in new rules and considering its use in existing rules when we have the opportunity and resources to permit its use. We are committed to continuing our reviews of existing rules and, if needed, will initiate rulemaking actions
based on these reviews.

### As part of its implementation of Executive Order 13563, ‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review,’’ issued by the Presi dent on January 18, 2011, the Department has added another element to its review plans. On February 16, 2011, we published a notice seeking public comments and information from interested parties to assist DOT in improving its methods for reviewing existi ng rules to determine whether any such regulations should be modified, streamlined, expanded, or repealed and helping us identify any specific, existing rules that ma y be outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome. These new actions are in addition to the other steps described in this Appendix.

Section 610 Review Plan

Section 610 requires that we conduct reviews of rules that (1): Have been published within the last 10 years and, (2) have a “significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities” (SEIOSNOSE). It also requires that we publish in the Federal Register each year a list of any such rules that we will review during the next year. The Office of the Secretary and each of the De partment’s Operating Administrations have a 10-year review plan. These reviews comply with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act.

Other Review Plan(s)

All elements of the Department, except for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), have also elected to use this 10-year plan process to comply with the review requirements of the Department’s Regulat ory Policies and Procedures and Executive Order 12866.

Changes to the Review Plan

Some reviews may be conducted earlier than scheduled. For example, to the extent resources permit, the plain language reviews will be conducted more quickly. Other events, such as accidents, may result in the need to conduct earlier reviews of some rules. Other factors may also result in the need to make changes; for example, we may make changes in response to public comment on this plan or in response to a Presidentially mandated review. If there is any change to the review plan, we will note the change in the following agenda. For any section 610 review, we will provide the required notice prior to the review.

Part II

– The Review Process

The Analysis

Generally, the agencies have divided their rules into 10 different groups and plan to analyze one group each year. For purposes of these reviews, a year will coincide with the fall-to-fall schedule for publication of the agenda. Thus, Year 1 (2008) begins in the fall of 2008 and ends in the fall of 2009; Year 2 (2009) begins in the fall of 2009 and ends in the fall of 2010, and so on. We request public comment on the timing of the reviews. For example, is there a reason for scheduling an analysis and review for a particular rule earlier than we have? Any comments concerning the plan or particular analyses should be submitted to the regulatory contacts listed in Appendix B, General Rulemaking Contact Persons.

Section 610 Review

### The Agency will analyze each of the rules in a given year’s group to determine whether any rule has a SEIOSNOSE and, thus, requires review in accordance with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The level of analysis will, of course, depend on the nature of the rule and its applicabilit y. Publication of agencies’ section 610 analyses listed each fall in this agenda provides the public with notice and an opportunity to comment consistent with the requirem ents of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. We request that public comments be submitted to us early in the analysis year concerning the small entity impact of the rules to help us in making our determinations.

In each fall agenda, the Agency will p ublish the results of the analyses it has completed during the previous year. For rules that had a negative finding on SEIOSNOSE, we will give a short explanation (e.g., “these rules only establish petition processes that have no cost impact” or “these rules do not apply to any small entities”). For parts, subparts, or other discrete sectio ns of rules that do have a SEIOSNOSE, we will announce that we will be conducting a formal section 610 review during the following 12 months. At this stage, we will add an entry to the Agenda in the prerulemaking section describing the review in more detail. We also will seek public comment on how best to lessen the impact of these rules and provide a name or docket to which public
comments can be submitted. In some case s, the section 610 review may be part of another unrelated review of the rule. In such a case, we plan to clearly indicate which parts of the review are being conducted under section 610.

Other Reviews

The Agency will also examine the sp ecified rules to determine whether any other reasons exist for revising or revoking the rule or for rewriting the rule in plain language. In each fall agenda, the Agency will also publish information on the results of the examinations completed during the previous year.

The FAA, in addition to reviewing its rules in accordance with the Section 610 Review Plan, has established a tri-annual process to co mply with the review requirements of the Department’s Regulatory Policies and Proc edures, Executive Order 12866, and Plain Language Review Plan. The FAA’s latest review notice was published November 15, 2007 (72 FR 64170). In that notice, the F AA requested comments from the public to identify those regulations currently in effect t hat it should amend, remove, or simplify. The FAA also requested the public to provide any specific suggestions where rules could be developed as performance-based rather than prescriptive, and any specific plain language that might be used, and provide suggested language on how those rules should
be written. The FAA will review the issues addressed by the co mmenters against its regulatory agenda and rulemaking program effo rts and adjust its regulatory priorities consistent with its statutory responsibilities. At the end of this process, the FAA will publish a summary and general disposition of comments and indicate, where appropriate, how it will adjust its regulatory priorities.

### Part III

– List of Pending Section 610 Reviews

The Agenda identifies the pending DOT Section 610 Reviews by inserting “(Section 610 Review),” after the title for the specific entry. For further information on the pending reviews, see the agenda entries at www.reginfo.gov. For example, to obtain a list of all entries that are Section 610 Reviews under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, a user would select the desired responses on the search screen (by selecting “advanced search”) and, in effect, generate the desired “index” of reviews.

SECTION 610 REVIEW PLAN

Section 610 Review Plan

The FAA has elected to use the two-step , two-year process used by most DOT modes in past plans. As such, the FAA has di vided its rules into 10 groups as displayed in the table below. During the first year (the “ analysis year ”), all rules published during the previous 10 years within a 10% block of the regulations will be analyzed to identify those with a SEIONOSE. During the second year (the “ review year ”), each rule identified in the analysis year as having a SEIONOSE will be reviewed in accordance with Section 610 (b) to determine if it should be continued without change or changed to minimize impact on small entities. Results of t hose reviews will be published in the DOT Semiannual Regulatory Agenda.

Federal-Aid Highway Program

### The FHWA has adopted regulations in titl e 23 of the CFR, chapter I, related to the Federal-Aid Highway Program. These regulations implement and carry out the provisions of Federal law relating to the administration of Federal aid for highways. The primary law authorizing Federal aid for highway s is chapter I of title 23 of the U.S.C. Section 145 of title 23 expressly provides for a federally assisted State program. For this reason, the regulations adopted by the FHWA in title 23 of the CFR primarily relate to the requirements that States must meet to re ceive Federal funds for the construction and other work related to highways. Because the regulations in title 23 primarily relate to States, which are not defined as small entiti es under the Regulator y Flexibility Act, the FHWA believes that its regulations in title 23 do not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The FHWA solicits public comment on this preliminary conclusion.

Title: Disclosure to Consumers Regarding On- Demand Air Taxi Services

Abstract: This rulemaking would create a class of indirect air carriers called air charter brokers to provide indirect air transportation of passengers aboard small and large aircraft, pursuant to single entity charter contracts. This rulemaking would grant air charter brokers authority to hold out, sell, and arrange single entity charter air transportation by exempting them from certain provisions of subtitle VII of title 49 of the United States Code, provided they comply with the provisions of this rule. These provisions would include a prohibition on air charter brokers holding out in a manner that could induce a reasonable person to think that they are direct air carriers. It would also require that air charter brokers contract only with duly authorized

direct air carriers.

Title: Stowage of Wheelchairs, Other Mobility Aids, and Other Assistive Devices

Abstract: This rulemaking would amend 14 CFR part 382 (part 382) by including subpart I (14 CFR 382.121-382.133) in the list of subparts with which a U.S. carrier must comply with respect to passengers traveling under its code on flights operated by a foreign carrier between two foreign points. This rulemaking would also amend part 382 to eliminate the labeling requirements for FAA approved portable oxygen concentrators and specify that ventilators, respirators and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines must be allowed for use in the passenger cabin as long as they comply with applicable safety, security, and hazardous materials rules. In addition, this rule would amend the provision in part 382 that allows carriers to require a passenger who wishes to use an FAA-approved portable oxygen concentrator in the aircraft cabin to provide a medical certificate dated within 10 days of the passenger ́s initial flight.

Title: Carrier-Supplied Medical Oxygen, Service Animals, and Accessibility of Carrier Websites, Kiosks, and In-Flight Entertainment Systems

Abstract: This rulemaking would fulfill a commitment made in the final rule amending the Air Carrier Access Act rules to develop an SNPRM seeking information from the public on: (1) the cost and technical issues involved in requiring carrier website accessibility; (2) whether automated kiosks operated by carriers in airports and elsewhere should be required to be accessible; (3) whether there are safety-related reasons for excluding service animals other than dogs that may be specific to foreign carriers; (4) whether the cost of requiring carriers to supply free in-flight medical oxygen would create an undue burden; and (5) whether providing high-contrast captioning on in-flight entertainment displays is technically and economically feasible.

Title: Prioritization and Allocation Authority Exercised by the Secretary of Transportation Under the Defense Production Act

Abstract: This rulemaking would clarify the prioritization and allocation authorities exercised by the Secretary of Transportation under the Defense Production Act (DPA). The DPA is the President ́s primary authority to ensure timely availability of private sector resources for national defense. In addition to military and energy activities, the definition of "national defense" includes emergency preparedness activities conducted pursuant to title VI of The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act and the protection and restoration of critical infrastructure. Under title I of the DPA, the President has the authority to require the acceptance and prioritization of contracts and orders -- and to allocate materials, services, and facilities -- in support of the national defense. Under section 201 of Executive Order 12919, the President has delegated these prioritization and allocation authorities to the Secretary of Transportation for all forms of civil transportation. In the 2009 DPA reauthorization legislation, Congress mandated that each Federal agency with delegated authority under title I of the DPA develop final rules that establish standards and procedures for implementing its delegated authority in emergency and nonemergency conditions. Additionally, Congress mandated that, to the extent practicable, the rules be consistent and unified.DOT is part of an interagency working group, along with the other delegated agencies, that is developing consistent unified

rules.

Title: New York Congestion Management Rule for LaGuardia Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, and Newark Liberty International Airport

Abstract: This rulemaking would replace the current temporary orders limiting scheduled operations at LaGuardia Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, and Newark Liberty International Airport with a more permanent rule to address the issues of congestion and delay at the New York area's three major commercial airports, while also promoting fair access and competition. The rulemaking would help ensure that congestion and delays are managed by limiting scheduled and unscheduled operations. The rulemaking would also establish a secondary market for U.S. and foreign air carriers to buy, sell, trade, and lease slots amongst each other at each of the three airports. This would allow carriers serving or seeking to serve the New York area airports to exchange slots as their business models and strategic goals require.

Title: Airworthiness Directives

Abstract: This rule would provide for the issuance of Airworthiness Directives (AD ́s) as needed to address any unsafe condition in a type certificated product, if that unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop in products of the same type design. Airworthiness Directives are legally enforceable rules that apply to the following type certificated products: aircraft, aircraft engines, propellers, and appliances. Part 39 of CFR title 14 requires each operator of a product affected by an AD to comply with the terms of the AD, to continue to operate that product. The AD may mandate operational limitations, maintenance, or alterations for the affected product. The vast majority of routine and frequent ADs are nonsignificant. Some airworthiness directives may be treated as significant rules, depending on their economic impact and/or policy implications. Total actions expected -- 550. 10/00/2010 - 10/00/2011.

Title: Electrical and Electronic System Lightning Protection

Abstract: This rulemaking would establish uniform lightning protection for electrical and electronic systems, based on the consequences of system function failure. This action is necessary because aircraft are increasingly equipped with flight-critical systems, and use composite airframe structures that provide less protection than traditional aluminum. The intended effect is to establish two levels of protection: (1) for those failures that would prevent continued safe flight and landing; (2) for those failures that would reduce the aircraft?s or the flightcrew?s capability to respond to adverse conditions. Finally, it would harmonize FAA regulations with European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

Title: Harmonization of Airworthiness Standards Flight Rules

Abstract: This rulemaking would harmonize U.S. and European airworthiness standards flight rules for takeoff speeds, staticlateral-directional stability, speed increase and recovery characteristics, and stall warning margin in the landing configuration in icing conditions. The takeoff speeds, static lateral-directional stability, and speed increase and recovery characteristics requirements were adopted by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in 2003, and have been incorporated into current industry design practices. The proposed change for icing conditions would harmonize with EASA ́s Certification Standard 25, amendment 6, effective July 6, 2009, which adopted an additional requirement concerning stall warning in the landing configuration.

Title: Safety Management Systems (SMS)

Abstract: This rulemaking would have required a Safety Management System (SMS) for FAA certificate holders, certain product manufacturers, applicants, and employers. However, the advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) proposed a broader rule than the FAA is now developing. The FAA is now withdrawing the ANPRM. In place of the ANPRM, the FAA is developing a final rule per Public Law 111-216, section 215 to "require all part 121 air carriers to implement a safety management system." Following this Congressionally mandated rulemaking, the FAA is considering additional SMS rulemaking for commuter and on-demand operations, manufacturers, and repair stations. All SMS rulemakings are intended to further enhance the practice of managing safety, conducting risk and system assessments and analysis, undertaking preventive and corrective actions, and creating a safety culture. While the current SMS rulemaking initiatives are narrower than the ANPRM, FAA intends SMS rules across segments of the industry to be consistent.

Title: Air Traffic Controller Mandatory Retirement Age Waiver

Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the process of requesting a waiver of the mandatory separation age for air traffic control specialists. This action is necessary because the current process contains requirements that are either contrary or redundant to current air traffic records retention policy. The effect of this action would reduce the burden of tracking information, which is currently stored for less than the five year requirement.

Title: Unified Registration System

Abstract: This rulemaking would replace three current identification and registration systems: the US DOT number identification system, the commercial registration system, and the financial responsibility system, with an online Federal unified registration system (URS). This program would serve as a clearinghouse and depository of information on, and identification of, brokers, freight forwarders, and others required to register with the Department of Transportation. The Agency is revising this rulemaking to address amendments directed by Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). The replacement system for the Single State Registration System, which the ICC Termination Act originally directed be merged under URS, was addressed separately in RIN 2126-AB09.

Title: Carrier Safety Fitness Determination

Abstract: This rulemaking would revise 49 CFR part 385, Safety Fitness Procedures, in accordance with the Agency ́s major new initiative, Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA) 2010. CSA 2010 is a new operational model FMCSA plans to implement that is designed to help the Agency carry out its compliance and enforcement programs more efficiently and effectively. Currently, the safety fitness rating of a motor carrier is determined based on the results of a very labor intensive compliance review conducted at the carrier ́s place of business. Aside from roadside inspections and new audits, the compliance review is the Agency ́s primary intervention. Under CSA 2010, FMCSA would propose to implement a broader array of progressive interventions, some of which allow FMCSA to make contact with more carriers. Through this rulemaking FMCSA would establish safety fitness determinations based on safety data consisting of crashes, inspections, and violation history rather than the standard compliance review. This will enable the Agency to assess the safety performance of a greater segment of the motor carrier industry with the goal of further reducing large truck and bus crashes and fatalities.

Title: Commercial Driver's License Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse

Abstract: This rulemaking would create a central database for verified positive controlled substances and alcohol test results for commercial driver ́s license (CDL) holders and refusals by such drivers to submit to testing. This rulemaking would require employers of CDL holders and service agents to report positive test results and refusals to test into the database. Prospective employers, acting on an application for a CDL driver position with the applicant’s written consent to access the database, would query the database to determine if any specific information about the driver applicant is in the database before allowing the applicant to be hired and to drive CMVs. This rulemaking is intended to increase highway safety by ensuring CDL holders, who have tested positive or have refused to submit to testing, have completed the U.S. DOT ́s return-to-duty process before driving CMVs in interstate or intrastate commerce. It is also intended to ensure that employers are meeting their drug and alcohol testing responsibilities.

Title: Electronic On-Board Recorders and Hours of Service Supporting Documents

Abstract: This rulemaking will consider revisions to RIN 2126-AA89 (Electronic On-Board Recorders for Hours of Service Drivers) to expand the number of motor carriers required to install and operate Electronic On-Board Recorders (EOBRs). FMCSA is consolidating this follow-up to the EOBR rule with the Hours Of Service Of Drivers: Supporting Documents rulemaking for development of a single NPRM in RIN 2126-AB20. In addressing Hours of Service Supporting Documents requirements in this new rulemaking, FMCSA will consider reducing or eliminating current paperwork burdens associated with supporting documents in favor of expanded EOBR use. On January 15, 2010, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) filed a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Cir. No. 10- 1009). ATA petitioned the court to direct FMCSA to issue an NPRM on supporting documents in conformance with the requirements set forth in section 113 of the HMTAA within 60 days after the issuance of the writ and a final rule no later than 6 months after the issuance of the NPRM. The court granted the petition for writ of mandamus on September 30, 2010, ordering FMCSA to issue an NPRM on the supporting document regulations by December 30, 2010. At the request of the agency, the DC Circuit extended the deadline to January 31, 2011.

Title: Harmonizing Schedule I Drug Requirements

Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) driver qualifications regulations and the rules concerning controlled substances and alcohol testing to make the requirements consistent with current Departmental regulations prohibiting all use of Schedule I drugs by transportation workers engaged in safety sensitive functions. This action would also make the FMCSA regulations consistent with those of the Drug Enforcement Administration to ensure that all healthcare providers who issue medical certificates for interstate truck and bus drivers recognize that interstate truck and bus drivers may not be medically certified if they are using Schedule I drugs.

Title: National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners

Abstract: This rulemaking would establish training, testing and certification standards for medical examiners responsible for certifying that interstate commercial motor vehicle drivers meet established physical qualifications standards; provide a database (or National Registry) of medical examiners that meet the prescribed standards for use by motor carriers, drivers, and Federal and State enforcement personnel in determining whether a medical examiner is qualified to conduct examinations of interstate truck and bus drivers; and require medical examiners to transmit electronically to FMCSA the name of the driver and a numerical identifier for each driver that is examined. The rulemaking would also establish the process by which medical examiners that fail to meet or maintain the minimum standards would be removed from the National Registry.

Abstract: Section 108 of the Railroad Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA), Public Law 110-432, signed 10/16/08, effective July 16, 2009, states that railroad signal employees operating motor vehicles shall not be subject to hours of service (HOS) rules promulgated by any other Federal authority, including the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The RSIA will require the FMCSA to amend its HOS regulations to state that FMCSA HOS regulations do not apply to railroad signal employees. The rule will provide clarity to the motor carrier industry and eliminate improper citations to signal employees because enforcement officers may not be aware of the statutory exception.

Title: Application by Certain Mexico-Domiciled Motor Carriers To Operate Beyond U.S. Municipalities and Commercial Zones
on the U.S.-Mexico Border

Abstract: This rulemaking would change FMCSA regulations to govern applications by Mexican carriers to operate beyond municipalities and commercial zones at the United State-Mexico border. It would also revise the application form, OP-1MX, to be filed by these Mexican motor carriers. The revised form would require additional information about the applicant ́s business and operating practices to allow the FMCSA to determine if the applicant can meet the safety standards established for operating in interstate commerce in the United States. Carriers that had previously submitted an application would have to submit the updated form. These changes are needed to implement part of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). On January 16, 2003, the Ninth Circuit Court remanded this rule, along with two other NAFTA-related rules, to the agency, requiring a full environmental impact statement and an analysis required by the Clean Air Act. On June 7, 2004, the Supreme Court reversed the Ninth Circuit and remanded the case, holding that FMCSA is not required to prepare the environmental documents as ruled by the Ninth Circuit. FMCSA originally planned to publish a final rule by November 20, 2003. FMCSA willdetermine the next steps to be taken after enactment of any pending legislation authorizing cross border trucking.

Title: Safety Monitoring System and Compliance Initiative for Mexico-Domiciled Motor Carriers Operating in the United States

Abstract: This rule would implement a safety monitoring system and compliance initiative designed to evaluate the continuing safety fitness of all Mexico-domiciled carriers within 18 months after receiving a provisional Certificate of Registration or provisional authority to operate in the United States. It also would establish suspension and revocation procedures for provisional Certificates of Registration and operating authority, and incorporate criteria to be used by FMCSA in evaluating whether Mexico-domiciled carriers exercise basic safety management controls. The interim rule included requirements that were not proposed in the NPRM but which are necessary to comply with the FY-2002 DOT Appropriations Act. On January 16, 2003, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals remanded this rule, along with two other NAFTA-related rules, to the agency, requiring a full environmental impact statement and an analysis required by the Clean Air Act. On June 7, 2004, the Supreme Court reversed the Ninth Circuit and remanded the case, holding that FMCSA is not required to prepare the environmental documents.

Title: Limitations on the Issuance of Commercial Driver Licenses With a Hazardous Materials Endorsement

Abstract: This rulemaking would prohibit States from issuing, renewing, transferring or upgrading a commercial driver ́s license (CDL) with a hazardous materials endorsement, unless the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has first conducted a background check on the applicant and determined the applicant does not pose a security risk warranting denial of the hazardous materials endorsement. FMCSA and TSA simultaneously published interim final rules. FMCSA has published another IFR corresponding to TSA ́s extension of compliance date. Since this rulemaking conforms to TSA ́s rulemaking, the rulemaking is dependent upon TSA action. This action is considered significant because of substantial public and congressional interest, and national security.

Abstract: This rulemaking would establish revisions to the commercial driver's license knowledge and skills testing standards as required by section 4019 of TEA-21, implement fraud detection and prevention initiatives at the State driver licensing agencies as required by the SAFE Port Act of 2006, and establish new minimum Federal standards for States to issue commercial learner's permits (CLPs), based in part on the requirements of section 4122 of Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). In addition to ensuring the applicant has the appropriate knowledge and skills to operate a commercial motor vehicle, this rule would establish the minimum information that must be on the CLP document and the electronic driver's record. The rule would also establish maximum issuance and renewal periods, establish a minimum age limit, address issues related to a driver's State of Domicile, and incorporate previous regulatory guidance into the Federal regulations. This rulemaking would also address issues raised in the SAFE Port Act.

Title: Upgrade of Event Data Recorder Requirements

Abstract: This rulemaking would expand the utility of the amount and type of data Event Data Recorders (EDRs) capture in light vehicles in the event of a crash. The rulemaking would consider requiring some of the optional data elements specified in 49 CFR part 563. Part 563 established the current reporting requirement of voluntarily installed EDRs in light vehicles. In addition, this rulemaking would make revisions to the optional data elements to account for the latest advances in vehicle safety. Part 563 presently requires vehicle manufacturers who are voluntarily installing EDRs to be in compliance with the regulation by September 1, 2012. In a separate rulemaking, the agency would propose requiring that all light vehicles comply with the requirements specified in current 49 CFR 563. This rulemaking would seek additional information from the public and expand upon that initiative. Moreover, this rulemaking would contribute to advancements in vehicle designs, advanced restraints and other safety countermeasures. The costs are expected to be minimal since some vehicle manufacturers presently capture additional data beyond part 563 in their EDRs.

Title: FMVSS No. 124, Accelerator Control Systems Upgrade

Abstract: The agency is considering several revisions to FMVSS No. 124. First, we are considering revisions to the test procedures for vehicles with electronically controlled throttles as well as electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. These test procedures are the product of several workshops and public meetings. We anticipate that all vehicles would be able to meet them because it would not involve changes to the existing basic requirements of the standard. Second, we are considering adding a new requirement for a brake-throttle override system on light vehicles. Under certain conditions, this would require that the braking system overrides the throttle control in the event of a conflict. All vehicle manufacturers are in the process ofequipping all of their U.S. vehicles with such technology, if they have not done so already. We anticipate that this new requirement would accommodate the current and planned override technologies.

Title: Alternative Fuel Vehicle Badging, Fuel Compartment Labels, and Consumer Information on Alternative Fuel Usage

Abstract: This rulemaking would respond to requirements of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), title 1, subtitle A, section 105, as it amends 49 USC section 32908, to implement Consumer Information and Consumer Education programs related to fuel economy, GHG, other emissions, and alternative fuels. EISA directs the Secretary of Transportation to label vehicles with a permanent and prominent display that an automobile is capable of operating on alternative fuels, and to include in the owner ́s manual for vehicles capable of operating on alternative fuels information that describes that capability and the benefits of using alternative fuels, including the renewable nature and environmental benefits of using alternative fuels. Additionally, EISA requires a label to be attached to the fuel compartment of vehicles capable of operating on alternative fuels, with the form of alternative fuel stated on the label. EISA, signed into Law on December 19, 2007, requires that the Secretary

issue a final rule not later than 42 months after the date of the enactment.

Title: Passenger Car and Light Truck Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards MYs 2017 and Beyond

Abstract: This rulemaking would establish Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for light trucks and passenger cars for model years 2017 and beyond. This rulemaking would respond to requirements of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. The statute requires that CAFE standards be prescribed separately for passenger automobiles and non-passenger automobiles to achieve a combined fleet fuel economy ofat least 35 mpg by model year 2020. For model years 2021 and beyond, the statute requires that the average fuel economy required to be attained by each fleet of passenger and non-passenger automobiles be the maximum feasible for each model year. The law requires the standards be set at least 18 months prior to the start of the model year. On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a memorandum directing NHTSA and EPA to conduct a joint rulemaking (NHTSA regulating fuel economy and EPA regulating greenhouse gas emissions), and to issue a Notice of Intent to Issue a Proposed Rule (NOI) by September 30,

2010.

Title: Mandatory Part 563 Event Data Recorder Requirements

Abstract: This rulemaking would establish a new Federal motor vehicle safety standard to mandate the installation of Event Data Recorders (EDR) in light vehicles. The standard would incorporate the current 49 CFR part 563 which established the current reporting requirement of voluntarily installed EDRs in light vehicles. Part 563 presently requires vehicle manufacturers who are voluntarily installing EDRs to be in compliance with the regulation by September 1, 2012. This rulemaking would not affect the 2012 compliance date for voluntarily-installed EDRs. Furthermore, this rulemaking would not modify any of the part 563 data elements, data capture and format requirements, data retrieval specifications, or data survivability and crash test requirements. Moreover, this rulemaking to mandate EDRs across the entire light vehicle fleet could contribute to advancements in vehicle designs, and advanced restraint and other safety countermeasures. The estimated total incremental costs associated with this rulemaking would be $24.4 million (2009 dollars) which is measured from a baseline of 91.6 percent EDR installation to 100 percent installation, assuming the sale of 15.5 million light vehicles per year.

Title: FMVSS 114, Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention, Keyless Ignition Systems

Abstract: FMVSS No. 114, Theft protection and rollaway prevention, has provisions that govern the operation of ignition systems in vehicles. Using consumer compliance data, NHTSA has identified emerging safety concerns regarding keyless ignition controls that are not directly addressed by this standard. The concerns are drivers who are unable to shut down the propulsion system of their vehicle in the event of any on-road emergency; drivers who shut off the propulsion system without putting their vehicle in park and walk away from the vehicle, leaving it prone to roll away; and drivers who do put their vehicle in park, but inadvertently leave the propulsion system active increasing the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in a closed environment. To address these emerging safety issues, we tentatively conclude that new requirements are necessary. We anticipate, if made final, that these new requirements would have little or no anticipated cost as they are based on a new Society of Automotive Engineers Recommended Practice J2948-20110. We believe that manufacturers already intend to follow that Practice voluntarily. The benefits for these new provisions are in the form of reduced consumer confusion of these new controls and the reduction of potential risk of death or injury. However, because these systems are not widespread in current vehicles, their benefits cannot yet be readily quantified.

Title: FMVSS Part 595, Make Inoperative Exemptions --Vehicle Modifications to Accommodate People with Disabilities

Abstract: This rulemaking would create a new exemption to the make inoperative prohibition in FMVSS part 595. Part 595 establishes exemption to the make inoperative prohibition for certain sections of certain Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) under the limited circumstances when vehicles are modified to be used by persons with disabilities. Otherwise the modifiers of the vehicles would be subject to prosecution for making inoperative equipment required by the safety standards. Bruno manufactures a special seat that rotates and extends outside the doorway to allow mobility-impaired drivers and passengers convenient and safe entry into a vehicle. Provisions of FMVSS No. 202a that become effective September 1, 2009, require higher head restraints that would prevent the operation of such seats. This rulemaking would create a new exemption tothe make inoperative prohibition for the new head restraint requirement, to allow the continued use of transfer seats for mobilityimpaired drivers and passengers. It would also make editorial changes to correct an error in paragraph references regarding similar exemptions to the current FMVSS No. 202.

Title: Rescind 2012 Sunset on Seat Belt Lockability in FMVSS No. 208

Abstract: This rulemaking would rescind the September 1, 2012 sunset date for the lockability requirements of FMVSS No. 208, Occupant Crash Protection, for seating positions that provide Lower Anchorage and Tethers for Children (LATCH). Upon review of the present misuse and non-use of LATCH and the influx of high-weight harness child restraint systems, NHTSA believes there is a continued need for lockable lap belts in order to ensure the safety of children, particularly those with special needs. NHTSA does not expect this rulemaking to provide added safety benefits or impose costs to the vehicle manufacturersbeyond that which vehicles currently provide today. Vehicle manufacturers currently provide lockable lap belts in LATCHequipped designated seating positions.

Title: Registered Importers of Vehicles Not Originally Manufactured to Conform to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards

Abstract: This rulemaking would amend NHTSA ́s regulations that pertain to the importation by registered importers (RIs) of motor vehicles that were not originally manufactured to comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety, bumper, and theft prevention standards. The amendments, which are intended to address specific problems that NHTSA has encountered in its administration of the RI program, would, among other things: permit the agency to deny or revoke registration to entities that have been convicted of a crime related to the importation, purchase, or sale of a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment; require an RI to destroy or export from the United States nonconforming motor vehicle equipment removed from an imported vehicle that has undergone conformance modifications and to certify to NHTSA that those items have been exported or destroyed; and reflect new requirements for the importation of a motor vehicle by an RI for the purpose of petitioning the agency to decide that the vehicle is eligible for importation. The agency would also adopt a more workable definition of the term "model year" for the purpose of making import eligibility decisions, and require that the petition include the type classification of the vehicle at issue. Several technical amendments to the RI regulations would also be made.

Title: New Car Assessment Program Safety Ratings Labeling

Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the NCAP safety ratings portion of the Monroney label to include a new overall vehicle score that is based on the frontal crash, side crash, and rollover resistance ratings for each vehicle. On July 11, 2008, NHTSA published a notice announcing the enhancements to the agency ́s New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). This rulemaking would incorporate changes in the NCAP programs, including the creation of an overall vehicle score in the vehicle safety ratings labeling program. A vehicle safety ratings labeling program was created in September 2007 as a result of a mandate in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). This law, passed by Congress in August 2005, requires new passenger vehicles to be labeled with safety rating information published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ́s New Car Assessment Program as part of the Monroney label. NHTSA implemented this labeling program in a final rule published on September 12, 2006.

Title: Commercial Medium- and Heavy- Duty On-Highway Vehicles and Work Truck Fuel Efficiency Standards

Abstract: This rulemaking would respond to requirements of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. The statute requires that rulemaking begin with a report by the National Academy of Sciences evaluating medium-duty and heavy-duty truck fuel economy standards. The National Academy provided Congress and NHTSA with this report on March 18, 2010. EISA then requires that NHTSA complete a study that examines the fuel efficiency of commercial medium- and heavy-duty on-highway vehicles and work trucks and determines the appropriate test procedures and methodologies for measuring the fuel efficiency of such vehicles, the appropriate metric for measuring the fuel efficiency of such vehicles, the range of factors that affect the fuel efficiency of these vehicles, and other factors that could impact a program to improve the fuel efficiency of these vehicles. The NHTSA study was issued October 25, 2010. Once that study is completed, NHTSA has 24 months to complete a final rule establishing a fuel efficiency program for these vehicles. The law provides that the new standards must provide at least 4 full model years of regulatory leadtime and 3 full model years of regulatory stability (i.e., the standards must remain in effect for 3 years before they may be amended). On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a memorandum directing NHTSA and EPA conduct a joint rulemaking (NHTSA regulating fuel efficiency and EPA regulating greenhouse gas emissions), and to issue a final rule by July 30, 2011.

Title: Tire Fuel Efficiency Petitions for Reconsideration

Abstract: This rulemaking would address petitions for reconsideration the agency received on its final rule (75 FR 15893), published in response to requirements in the Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007 to establish a national tire fuel efficiency consumer information program for replacement tires designed for use on motor vehicles. On March 30, 2010, NHTSA published a final rule specifying the test procedures to be used to rate the performance of replacement passenger car tires for this new program. RMA petitioned on behalf of tire manufacturers on various technical aspects of the final rule, including reporting issues, format of data submitted, exempted tires, new ratings information, lead-time, and several items not finalized in

the March final rule.

Title: FMVSS No. 121, Air Brake Systems, Response to Petitions for Reconsideration

Abstract: This rulemaking would address petitions for reconsideration received by NHTSA to a July, 2009 final rule that reduced stopping distance requirements for truck tractors and other heavy vehicles. The petitioners have suggested that the new stopping distance requirements for truck tractors that can't achieve a top speed of 60 mph may not be achievable and that unique braking systems would need to be developed. NHTSA has conducted additional testing at these lower speeds and would make slight adjustments to the stopping distance tables as needed. With these adjustments we believe truck manufacturers would not incur any additional costs over and above the costs associated with installing improved braking systems as indicated in the July 2009 Final Rule. That is, they would not need to make further vehicle modifications or build special systems to meet the stopping distances from lower initial test speeds.

Title: Deregulation of FMVSS No. 219, Windshield Zone Intrusion

Abstract: This rulemaking would rescind FMVSS No. 219, Windshield Zone Intrusion. The agency has tentatively concluded that the original safety problem the standard was intended to address no longer exists. There has not been a compliance issue with this standard since shortly after it became effective. Additionally, we believe that other vehicle safety standards are in place to prevent the safety concern addressed by FMVSS No. 219.

Title: Ejection Mitigation

Abstract: This rulemaking would create a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) for reducing occupant ejection. Currently, there are over 52,000 annual ejections in motor vehicle crashes, and over 10,000 ejected fatalities per year.This rulemaking would propose new requirements for reducing occupant ejection through passenger vehicle side widows. The requirement would be an occupant containment requirement on the amount of allowable excursion through passenger vehicle side windows. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act (SAFETEA-LU) requires that "[t]he Secretary shall also initiate a rulemaking proceeding to establish performance standards to reduce complete and partial ejections of vehicle occupants from outboard seating positions. In formulating the standards the Secretary shall consider various ejection mitigation systems. The Secretary shall issue a final rule under this paragraph no later than October 1, 2009." SAFETEA-LU also requires that, if the Secretary determines that the subject final rule deadline cannot be met, the Secretary shall notify and provide an explanation to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation and the House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce of the delay. On September 24, 2009, the Secretary provided appropriate notification to Congress that the final rule will be delayed until January 31, 2011.

Title: FMVSS No. 108 Exterior Lamp Visibility Reconsideration

Abstract: This rulemaking would address petitions for reconsideration of 2004 final rule. NHTSA published a final rule in August 2004 which among other actions was intended to harmonize the exterior lamp visibility requirements in the US with the requirements of the European Union. A petition for reconsideration stated that our rule failed to accomplish this for motorcycles. The agency has evaluated the issue including the intent of the 2004 final rule to reduce the inefficiency created of our regulations conflicting with those of other world markets. We believe this rulemaking is a no costs action and has unquantifiable benefits in the form of certification and compliance testing for motorcycle manufacturers.

Title: High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) Program; Buy America Program Requirements

Abstract: This rulemaking would establish regulations for FRA's Buy America requirements as part of the High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) program. The Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA) (Division B of Pub. L. 110-432) authorized the appropriation of funds to establish several new passenger rail grant programs, including capital investment grants to support intercity passenger rail service (sec. 301), high-speed corridor development (sec. 501), and congestion grants (sec. 302). FRA has consolidated these and other closely related programs into the HSIPR program, as detailed in FRA's High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) Interim Guidance (74 Fed. Reg. 29900 (June 23, 2009)) and FY2010 Interim Guidance (75 Fed. Reg. 38344 and 38365 (July 1, 2010)). Spending authorized under PRIIA is subject to the Buy America provision of 49 U.S.C. section 24405(a). This rulemaking would provide standards to govern FRA's application of the Buy America provision of 49 U.S.C. section 24405(a) to all PRIIA-authorized spending as part of the HSIPR program.

Title: Amendments Expanding the Drug Panel for FRA Post-Accident Toxicological Testing

Abstract: This rulemaking would expand the drug testing panel for FRA's post-accident toxicological testing (PATT) program, which investigates the role of alcohol and drug use in serious train accidents. This rulemaking would also amend the requirements regarding the analysis of PATT results in 49 CFR 219.211 to reflect that some of the drugs in the expanded panel are prescription and over-the-counter drugs that are not controlled substances. FRA has tested for the same basic panel of drugs since the beginning of PATT in 1985. Currently, FRA tests blood and urine specimens for eight drug classifications: alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, the opiates, the amphetamines, phencyclidine (PCP), the barbiturates, and the benzodiazepines. FRA would expand the PATT panel to include synthetic opiates, sedating antihistamines, MDMA and one of its analogues, and additional benzodiazepines. This rulemaking does not make any substantive changes to the prohibitions on the abuse of controlled substances and prescription drugs found in 49 CFR 219.102 and 219.103.

Title: Vehicle/Track Interaction Safety Standards; High- Speed and High Cant Deficiency Operations

Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the Track Safety Standards and Passenger Equipment Safety Standards for highspeed train operations and train operations at high cant deficiencies to promote the safe interaction of rail vehicles with the track over which they operate. It would revise both the safety limits for these operations and the process to qualify them. It accounts for a range of vehicle types that are currently used and may likely be used on future high-speed or high cant deficiency rail operations, and would provide safety assurance for train operations in all classes of track. It is based on the results of simulation studies designed to identify track geometry irregularities associated with unsafe wheel forces and acceleration, thorough reviews of vehicle qualification and revenue service test data, and consideration of international practices. This rulemaking was recently upgraded to significant.

Title: Roadway Worker Protection; Adjacent-Track On-Track Safety

Abstract: This rulemaking would simplify the determination regarding whether or not adjacent track protection is required for roadway work groups engaged in large-scale maintenance or construction, pursuant to 49 CFR part 214. The recent increase in roadway worker fatalities that have occurred on adjacent track has caused some concern at FRA and throughout the industry, even prompting the filing of a petition for emergency order. FRA issued a notice of safety advisory to address the issue in May of 2004; however, it appears that the effects were not long-lasting. This rulemaking is based on the consensus language developed through the Roadway Worker Protection (RWP) Working Group of FRA ́s Railroad Safety Advisory Committee (RSAC).

Title: Track Safety Standards; Concrete Crossties

Abstract: This rulemaking will set forth proposed limits for rail seat abrasion and concrete crosstie pad wear, and it will address the following: missing or broken rail fasteners, the loss of appropriate toe load pressure, improper fastener configuration, and excessive lateral rail movement. The rulemaking will also instruct track owners to inspect certain categories of track with concrete crossties using automated inspection technology. The Federal Railroad Administration anticipates that this rulemaking will improve the safety of railroad operations over concrete crossties and the implementation of the proposed regulations in the railroad industry within the normal 20-year window for economic analysis will generate a beneficial effect on the National economy.

Title: Bus Testing: Updating Testing Procedures

Abstract: This rulemaking would amend FTA ́s bus testing procedures to more accurately reflect passenger loads by updating the average passenger weight to incorporate recent statistical data. This action would affect those transit bus manufacturers who may need to upgrade vehicle components or modify vehicle configurations to better accommodate heavier weight loads. FTA notes that any cost increase due to a transit agency's decision to upgrade components would be offset by FTA's financial assistance program which covers at least 80% of a vehicle's capital costs, minimizing any economic impact of this rulemaking on public transit vehicles manufacturers and their customers.

Abstract: This rulemaking would request information from industry that would consider whether additional requirements governing bulk loading and unloading operations are necessary. PHMSA has reviewed transportation incident data and findings of several National Transportation Safety Board and Chemical Safety Board accident investigations involving bulk hazardous materials loading and unloading operations, which suggest there may be opportunities to enhance the safety of such operations. In particular, PHMSA is examining what, if any, safety benefits would accrue from a requirement for persons conducting bulk loading and unloading operations to develop and implement operating procedures governing these operations. PHMSA has decided to publish a proposed rule instead of a pre-rule.

Title: Hazardous Materials: Incorporation of Certain Rail Special Permits Into the Hazardous Materials Regulations

Abstract: This rulemaking would incorporate provisions contained in certain widely used or longstanding special permits for transporting hazardous materials by railroad that have an established safety record. Special permits allow a company or individual to package or ship a hazardous material in a manner that varies from the Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR parts 171 to 180) provided an equivalent level of safety is maintained. Specifically, this rulemaking would authorize an alternative tank car qualification program for DOT specification and non-specification tank cars; acceptance of shipping paper information by voice and electronic data interchange communication; alternative rail car segregation requirements for certain explosives; alternative requirements for tank car designs for certain materials; alternative unloading provisions for coupled tank cars; and use of meters as an alternative way to measure the amount of liquefied gas loaded into a tank car. The revisions are intended to provide wider access to the regulatory flexibility offered in special permits and eliminate the need for numerous renewal requests, thus reducing paperwork burdens and facilitating commerce while maintaining an appropriate level of safety.

Title: Hazardous Materials: Requirements for Storage of Explosives During Transportation

Abstract: Currently, the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) require all hazardous materials shipments stored during transportation to conform to the same requirements that apply when the shipments are actually moving. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires shipments of Division 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 explosives to be attended at all times or allows for unattended storage in a safe haven. There are no specific requirements or guidance as to the key safety measures that must be in place for an area to be considered a safe haven. Through this rulemaking, PHMSA, in coordination with FMCSA, is designating the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard 498 as the Federally approved standard for the construction and maintenance of safe havens used for unattended storage of Division 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 explosives. This change will fill a safety gap in the safe haven designation process and provide state and local governments and the regulated community with Federal guidance regarding the key safety measures that need to be in place at safe havens.

Title: Pipeline Safety: Control Room Management; Change in Implementation Period

Abstract: PHMSA published the Control Room Management/Human Factors final rule in the Federal Register (74 FR 63310) on December 3, 2009, which became effective on February 1, 2010. The final rule established an 18-month program development deadline of August 1, 2011, and a subsequent 18-month program implementation deadline of February 1, 2013. This notice proposes to expedite the program implementation deadline to August 1, 2011, for most of the requirements, except for certain provisions regarding adequate information and alarm management, which would have a program implementation deadline of August 1, 2012. The final rule's regulatory analysis did not consider specific costs for the program implementation deadlines because the costs associated with the rule were determined to be the first year program implementation costs, and were not dependent on the implementation deadline. PHMSA believes that the 18 months provided for program development is sufficient for pipeline operators to both develop and implement certain provisions of the rule. Where PHMSA believes there is a need for additional program implementation time, we propose to moderately shorten that time by only six months. Therefore,PHMSA does not believe there is additional cost for this proposed rule beyond what has already been evaluated in the original control room management final rule.

Title: Pipeline Safety: Completing Regulation of Hazardous Liquid Pipelines Operating at Low Stress

Abstract: This rulemaking would amend pipeline safety regulations to apply safety regulation to rural low-stress hazardous liquid pipelines that are not covered by safety regulations in 49 CFR part 195. This change complies with a mandate in the Pipeline Inspection, Protection, Enforcement, and Safety Act of 2006 (PIPES Act). Until 2008, unless a rural low stress pipeline crossed a commercially navigable waterway, a hazardous liquid pipeline operating at low-stress in a rural area was not regulated under Federal pipeline safety regulations in 49 CFR part 195. Section four of the Pipeline Inspection, Protection, Enforcement, and Safety Act of 2006 (PIPES Act), requires PHMSA to "issue regulations subjecting low-stress hazardous liquid pipelines to the same standards and regulations as other hazardous liquid pipelines." The Act also provides that the new regulations could be issued in phases. PHMSA decided to implement the PIPES Act mandate in phases, in part because PHMSA did not have complete data on the extent of rural low stress pipelines that would be covered by the statutory mandate. Phase one, published in a final rule on June 3, 2008, applied full part 195 regulation to the higher-risk, larger-diameter, rural low-stress pipelines, i.e., those low-stress pipelines with a diameter of 8 5/8-inches or greater located in or within one-half mile of an unusually sensitive area (USA). These are the rural low stress pipelines that have more potential to cause harm to unusually sensitive areas. In phase two (this rulemaking), we are applying part 195 safety requirements to all rural low-stress pipelines not included in the phase one rule. Thus, the pipelines addressed by this rulemaking are those rural low-stress pipelines of any diameter located more than one-half mile from a USA and those less than 8 5/8 inches in diameter locatedwithin one-half mile of a USA.

Title: Hazardous Materials: Revision to Requirements for Harmonization With UN Recommendations, IMDG Code, and ICAO's

Technical Instructions

Abstract: The Federal hazardous materials transportation law (Federal hazmat law; 49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) requires PHMSA to align the HMR with international transport standards and requirements to the extent practicable (see section 5120). This rulemaking would amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to maintain consistency with international standards. The amendments are necessary because of changes to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, the International Civil Aviation Organization ́s (ICAO) Technical Instructions for the Safe Transportation of Dangerous Goods and the United Nations (UN) Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Harmonization serves to facilitate international transportation while ensuring the safety of people, property, and the environment. The most significant revisions would include incorporation by reference of the updated ICAO Technical Instructions, IMDG Code and UN Recommendations and amendments to the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) to add, revise or remove certain proper shipping names, hazard classes, packing groups, special provisions, packaging authorizations, bulk packaging requirements, passenger and cargo aircraft maximum quantity limitations and vessel stowage provisions.

Title: Hazardous Materials: Incorporation of Certain Cargo Tank Special Permits Into the HMR

Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the HMR by incorporating alternatives that PHMSA has permitted under widely used and longstanding special permits that are granted to multiple parties and have established safety records. The provisions of the special permits would be incorporated as currently written, with no revisions or expansion of scope. The special permits addressed include authorization to transport liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in non-DOT specification cargo tank motor vehicles used exclusively for agricultural purposes and authorization to transport certain hazardous materials used for roadway striping in non-DOT specification cargo tanks. Special permits allow a company or individual to package or ship a hazardous material in a manner that varies from the HMR provided an equivalent level of safety is maintained. Incorporation of the six special permits addressed in this rulemaking into regulations of general applicability would provide shippers and carriers with additional flexibility to comply with established safety requirements, thereby reducing transportation costs for industry and administrative costs for the agency. The provisions would reduce the paperwork caused by continued renewals of these special permits and eliminate the need for over 10,000 current grantees to reapply for the renewal of six special permits every four years.
