any party soliciting or aggregating 

comments received from other persons

State inform those persons that the 

Department of State will not edit their

contact information, and that they 

therefore should not include any

do not want publicly disclosed. 

As noted above, portions of the 

meeting will be closed pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B) and 19 U.S.C. 

2605(h), the latter of which stipulates 

that ‘‘The provisions of the Federal

of subsections (a) and (b) of sections 10 

and 11 of such Act (relating to open 

meetings, public notice, public 

participation, and public availability of 

documents) shall not apply to the 

Committee, whenever and to the extent 

it is determined by the President or his 

designee that the disclosure of matters 

involved in the Committee’s 

proceedings would compromise the 

government’s negotiating objectives or 

bargaining positions on the negotiations 

of any agreement authorized by this 

chapter.’’ Pursuant to law, Executive 

Order, and Delegation of Authority, I 

have made such a determination.

States of America and the Government 

of the Republic of Italy Concerning the 

Imposition of Import Restrictions on 

Categories of Archaeological Material 

Representing the Pre-Classical, 

Classical, and Imperial Roman Periods 

of Italy 

The Government of the Republic of 

Italy has informed the Government of 

the United States of America of its 

interest in an extension of the 

Memorandum of Understanding 

Between the Government of United 

States of America and the Government 

of the Republic of Italy Concerning the 

Imposition of Import Restrictions on 

Categories of Archaeological Material 

Representing the Pre-Classical, 

Classical, and Imperial Roman Periods 

of Italy (‘‘MOU’’). 

Pursuant to the authority vested in the 

Assistant Secretary of State for 

Educational and Cultural Affairs, and 

pursuant to the requirement under 19 

U.S.C. 2602(f)(1), an extension of this 

MOU is hereby proposed.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2015–0024] 

Parts and Accessories Necessary for 

Safe Operation; Application for an 

Exemption From Virginia Tech 

Transportation Institute (VTTI) 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of application for 

exemption; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Administration (FMCSA) 

requests public comment on an 

application for exemption from VTTI to 

allow the placement of camera-based 

data acquisition systems (DAS) at the 

bottom of windshields on commercial 

motor vehicles (CMVs). The Federal 

Motor Carrier Safety Regulations 

(FMCSRs) currently require antennas, 

transponders, and similar devices to be 

located not more than 6 inches below 

the upper edge of the windshield, 

outside the area swept by the 

windshield wipers, and outside the 

driver’s sight lines to the road and 

highway signs and signals. VTTI is 

coordinating device development and 

installation of the DASs for a National 

Highway Traffic Safety Administration 

(NHTSA) research program in up to 150 

CMVs. The exemption would enable 

VTTI and NHTSA to conduct research 

on the reliability of collision avoidance 

systems for CMVs. VTTI believes that 

mounting the DASs at the bottom of the 

windshield would maintain a level of 

safety that is equivalent to, or greater 

than, the level of safety achieved 

without the exemption.
