ability of those carriers to continue to 

provide safe and quality transportation 

service. (Id. at 19.) Applicant states that 

he has no outstanding debts related to 

these transactions, has minimal overall 

debts, and was able to pay down 

acquisition debt promptly following the 

relevant acquisitions. (Appl. 24; Suppl. 

19.) 

Applicant states that the historical 

acquisitions of control of the Affiliated 

Carriers have not had any material 

adverse effect on employee or labor 

conditions. Applicant asserts that, since 

those acquisitions, there have not been 

any mass layoffs or substantial 

employee restructurings, and no adverse 

changes to wage and benefit 

arrangements have been implemented. 

(Suppl. 20.) 

Based on Applicant’s representations, 

the Board finds that the acquisition of 

FTS is consistent with the public 

interest and should be tentatively 

approved and authorized. The Board 

also finds that the historical acquisitions 

of control of the Affiliated Carriers are 

consistent with the public interest and 

should be tentatively approved and 

authorized after the fact. If any opposing 

comments are timely filed, these 

findings will be deemed vacated and, 

unless a final decision can be made on 

the record as developed, a procedural 

schedule will be adopted to reconsider 

the application. See 49 CFR 1182.6. If 

no opposing comments are filed by the 

expiration of the comment period, this 

notice will take effect automatically and 

will be the final Board action in this 

proceeding. 

This action is categorically excluded 

from environmental review under 49 

CFR 1105.6(c).

It is ordered: 

1. The proposed acquisition of FTS is 

approved and authorized, subject to the 

filing of opposing comments. 

2. The acquisitions of the Affiliated 

Carriers are approved and authorized 

after the fact, subject to the filing of 

opposing comments. 

3. If opposing comments are timely 

filed, the findings made in this notice

4. This notice will be effective 

December 31, 2024, unless opposing

Background: The Federal Register 

Notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on the following 

collection of information was published 

on June 5, 2024 (89 FR 48213). The

Act of 1993 (GPRA) Section 2(b)(3) 

requires agencies to ‘‘improve Federal 

program effectiveness and public 

accountability by promoting a new 

focus on results, service quality, and 

customer satisfaction’’. In addition, as 

stated in the White House 

‘‘Memorandum for Heads of Executive 

Departments and Agencies’’ regarding 

Executive Order No. 12862, ‘‘the actions 

the order prescribes, such as surveying 

customers, surveying employees, and

Satisfaction Survey is designed to 

identify potential problems with FAA’s 

automated staffing solutions as well as 

to evaluate customer satisfaction with 

the on-line application process. The 

information is not gathered by any other 

collection. It will be difficult, if not 

impossible, to improve the AVIATOR 

system’s overall performance and 

customer satisfaction without utilizing

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Applications; Epilepsy and Seizure 

Disorders; Correction 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), Department 

of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of correction; reopening 

of comment period. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA corrects its August 7, 

2024, notice requesting comments on its 

decision to renew exemptions for seven 

individuals from the requirement in the 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations (FMCSRs) that interstate 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers have ‘‘no established medical 

history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy 

or any other condition which is likely 

to cause loss of consciousness or any 

loss of ability to control a CMV’’ to 

correctly list the docket number that one 

individual was included in. The 

exemptions enable these individuals 

who have had one or more seizures and 

are taking anti-seizure medication to 

continue to operate CMVs in interstate 

commerce. The Agency also reopens the 

public comment period for that notice. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

notice published August 7, 2024, at 89 

FR 64532, is reopened. Comments must 

be received on or before December 16, 

2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

7, 2024, FMCSA published a notice of 

renewal of exemptions (89 FR 64532), 

which FMCSA announced its decision 

to renew exemptions for seven 

individuals from the requirement in the 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations (FMCSRs) that interstate 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers have ‘‘no established medical 

history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy 

or any other condition which is likely 

to cause loss of consciousness or any 

loss of ability to control a CMV.’’ The 

notice inadvertently published the 

incorrect docket number for the renewal 

applicant, Raymond Lobo (NJ). Through 

this notice, FMCSA corrects the August 

7, 2024, notice of renewal of exemptions 

by correctly indicating the complete 

docket number.1

In FR Doc. 2024–17422, starting on 

page 64532 in the Federal Register of 

August 7, 2024, ‘‘FMCSA–2013–044’’ is 

corrected to read ‘‘FMCSA–2013–0442’’ 

wherever it appears in the document. 

FMCSA corrects the notice and 

reopens the comment period to ensure 

that interested parties have sufficient 

time to review and comment on the 

renewal of exemptions.

AGENCY: Department of Transportation 

(DOT), Federal Transit Administration 

(FTA). 

ACTION: Notice of Buy America waiver. 

SUMMARY: This notice provides 

information regarding FTA’s finding 

that it is appropriate to grant a Buy 

America nonavailability waiver to the 

Detroit Transportation Corporation 

(DTC) for the procurement of special 

trackwork turnout switch components 

needed for the DTC’s People Mover that 

are not manufactured in the United 

States. Specifically, this waiver covers 

one pair of EN60E1A1 switch point rails 

and all appurtenances associated with 

its installation. 

DATES: The waiver is applicable 

November 14, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

With certain exceptions, FTA’s Buy 

America requirements prevent FTA 

from obligating an amount that may be 

appropriated to carry out its program for 

a project unless ‘‘the steel, iron, and 

manufactured goods used in the project 

are produced in the United States.’’ 49 

U.S.C. 5323(j)(1). A manufactured 

product is considered produced in the 

United States if (1) all of the 

manufacturing processes for the product 

take place in the United States and (2) 

all of the components of the product are 

of U.S. origin. A component is 

considered of U.S. origin if it is 

manufactured in the United States, 

regardless of the origin of its 

subcomponents. 49 CFR 661.5(d). 

FTA may waive Buy America 

requirements for a product if, among 

other reasons, a compliant version of the 

product is not produced in a sufficient 

and reasonably available amount or is 

not of satisfactory quality. 49 U.S.C. 

5323(j)(2)(B). FTA cannot deny a request 

for a nonavailability waiver unless it 

can provide the waiver applicant with a 

written certification that the item is 

produced in the United States in a 

sufficient and reasonably available 

amount; the item produced in the 

United States is of a satisfactory quality; 

and includes a list of known 

manufacturers in the United States from 

which the item can be obtained. 49 

U.S.C. 5323(j)(6). 

DTC is the owner and operator of the 

Detroit People Mover, which is the 

largest municipal rail system in 

Michigan. It is an automated light rail 

system that operates twelve rail cars on 

an elevated single track in a 2.9-mile 

loop with thirteen passenger stations in 

Detroit’s central business district. 

The existing switches were installed 

as original equipment in 1987 and 

designed to European standards, using
