77224 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 183 / Friday, September 20, 2024 / Notices 

Program. Section 422 of that Act states 

that FMCSA may not require the use of 

inward facing cameras or require a 

motor carrier to register an 

apprenticeship program with the 

Department of Labor as a condition for 

participation in the SDAP program. As 

such, the application and monthly 

report forms were revised to remove 

those two elements as mandatory 

requirements, and this revision was 

approved under the emergency review 

request. However, the Agency will 

continue to ask carriers whether they 

use inward facing cameras and whether 

they have a Registered Apprenticeship 

program approval number and will give 

carriers the option of providing that 

information. With this request for 

renewal of the approved ICR, FMCSA 

does not expect to see any change in the 

number of respondents, responses, or 

the overall burden of this information 

collection. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the performance of 

FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of 

the estimated burden; (3) ways for 

FMCSA to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the collected 

information; and (4) ways that the 

burden could be minimized without 

reducing the quality of the collected 

information. 

Issued under the authority of 49 CFR 1.87.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket No. FRA–2024–0104] 

Notice of Proposed Nonavailability 

Waiver of Buy America Requirements 

for Certain High-Speed Rail Products 

for the California Inaugural High-Speed 

Rail Service Project 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice; request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) is seeking 

comments on whether to grant a waiver 

of its Buy America requirements to the 

California High-Speed Rail Authority 

(the Authority) to use certain products 

that are not produced in the United 

States for use in the California Inaugural 

High-Speed Rail Service Project 

between Merced, California and 

Bakersfield, California (Project). FRA is 

funding the Project under the FederalState Partnership for Intercity Passenger 

Rail Program (FSP Program); therefore, 

FRA’s Buy America requirements apply 

to the Project. FRA’s Buy America 

requirements include both FRA’s 

statutory requirements, which require 

100 percent of the manufactured 

products and steel and iron used in an 

FRA-funded project to be produced in 

the United States, and the Build 

America, Buy America Act (BABA), 

which requires that all construction 

materials used in the FRA-funded 

project be produced in the United 

States. FRA is not proposing to waive 

the applicable BABA requirements for 

construction materials used in the 

Project. The proposed waiver would 

apply to the aluminum car shells, signal 

systems, high-speed rail turnouts and 

fire alarm systems based on the 

domestic nonavailability of such
