soliciting comments on the following 

collection of information was published 

on May 29, 2024 (89 FR 46571). Title 49, 

United States Code, Section 44702 states 

that the Secretary of Transportation may 

delegate to any properly qualified 

private person, the examination and 

testing necessary for the issuance of 

certificates under Title VI of the Federal 

Aviation Act. Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR), part 183, 

Representatives of the Administrator, 

describes the requirements for 

delegating to any properly qualified 

private person, the examination and 

testing necessary for the issuance of 

airmen certificates. 

Response to this collection of 

information is required to obtain a 

benefit, specifically, to obtain a FAA 

designation as a representative of the 

FAA Administrator. Designee applicants 

come from private industry. They are 

experts in the aviation and medical 

communities who are familiar with the 

regulations and certification 

requirements necessary to issue an FAA 

certificate. Only highly experienced 

aviation professionals are expected to 

respond to the collection. The collection 

is for reporting of an individual’s 

eligibility and qualifications and occurs 

on an as needed basis for initial 

applicants. However, if an individual is 

not selected as a designee, their 

application must be updated whenever 

information changes (as needed) and at 

least every 12 calendar months 

(annually). The FAA has now fully 

implemented the use of the Designee 

Management System (DMS) web-based 

application, located at https://designee.

faa.gov/#/login, for the application 

process for all designee types. 

Additionally, designees must report 

any arrest, indictment, or conviction for 

violation of local, State, or Federal law 

to the FAA within 30 days of such 

arrest, indictment, or conviction. 

Respondents: Approximately 2,200 

individual designee applicants and 

designated representatives of the FAA 

Administrator. 

Frequency: As needed, annually. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 3 hours.

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Denial of petition. 

SUMMARY: Blue Bird Body Company 

(Blue Bird) has determined that certain 

model year (MY) 2019–2024 Blue Bird

American school buses do not fully 

comply with Federal Motor Vehicle 

Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 217, Bus 

Emergency Exits and Window Retention 

and Release. Blue Bird filed two 

noncompliance reports, both dated 

August 9, 2023, and subsequently 

petitioned NHTSA (the ‘‘Agency’’) on 

September 13, 2023, for a decision that 

the subject noncompliance is 

inconsequential as it relates to motor 

vehicle safety. This document 

announces the denial of Blue Bird’s 

petition.

Daniel Lind, General Engineer, NHTSA, 

Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Overview 

Blue Bird determined that certain MY 

2019–2024 Blue Bird Vision and MY 

2020–2024 Blue Bird All American 

school buses do not fully comply with 

paragraph S5.5.3(b) of FMVSS No. 217, 

Bus Emergency Exits and Window 

Retention and Release (49 CFR 571.217). 

Blue Bird filed two noncompliance 

reports, both dated August 9, 2023, 

pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and 

Noncompliance Responsibility and 

Reports. Blue Bird petitioned NHTSA 

on September 13, 2023, for an 

exemption from the notification and 

remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

chapter 301 on the basis that this 

noncompliance is inconsequential as it 

relates to motor vehicle safety, pursuant 

to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and 

49 CFR part 556, Exemption for 

Inconsequential Defect or 

Noncompliance. 

Notice of receipt of Blue Bird’s 

petition was published with a 30-day 

public comment period, on December 6, 

2023, in the Federal Register (88 FR 

84872). No comments were received. To

2024 Blue Bird All American school 

buses, manufactured between July 1, 

2019, and August 3, 2023, were reported 

by the manufacturer.

Blue Bird explains that the Emergency 

Exit Label in the subject vehicles 

contains lettering that does not meet the 

lettering height required by paragraph 

S5.5.3(b) of FMVSS No. 217. 

Specifically, the lettering height was 

0.882 centimeters and therefore does not 

meet the minimum lettering height 

requirement of 1 centimeter. 

IV. Rule Requirements 

Paragraph S5.5.3(b) of FMVSS No. 

217 includes the requirements relevant
