Department Regulatory Agenda; 

Semiannual Summary 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT. 

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda. 

SUMMARY: The Regulatory Agenda is a 

semiannual summary of all current and 

projected rulemakings, reviews of 

existing regulations, and completed 

actions of the Department. The intent of 

the Agenda is to provide the public with 

information about the Department of 

Transportation’s regulatory activity 

planned for the next 12 months. It is 

expected that this information will 

enable the public to be more aware of 

and allow it to more effectively 

participate in the Department’s 

regulatory activity. The public is also 

invited to submit comments on any 

aspect of this Agenda.

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 without 

appropriate involvement of the public; 

once issued, they should be periodically 

reviewed and revised, as needed, to 

assure that they continue to meet the 

needs for which they originally were 

designed. To view additional 

information about the Department of 

Transportation’s regulatory activities 

online, go to http://www.dot.gov/

regulations. Among other things, this 

Web site provides a report, updated 

monthly, on the status of the DOT 

significant rulemakings listed in the 

semiannual regulatory agenda. 

To help the Department achieve these 

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 Procedures (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 

submitted by the offices initiating the 

rulemaking and are reviewed by the 

Department Regulations Council. 

The Internet is the basic means for 

disseminating the Unified Agenda. The 

complete Unified Agenda is available 

online at www.reginfo.gov, in a format 

that offers users a greatly enhanced 

ability to obtain information from the 

Agenda database. 

Because publication in the Federal 

Register is mandated for the regulatory 

flexibility agendas required by the 

Regulatory Flexibility 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 

regulatory flexibility agenda, in 

accordance with the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, because they are likely 

to have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities; and 

3. Any rules that the agency has 

identified for 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 applicable; 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 

entries 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, essentially, 

very costly, beneficial, controversial, or 

of substantial public interest under our 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures. All 

DOT agency priority rulemaking 

documents are subject to review by the 

Secretary of Transportation. If the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

decides a rule is subject to its review 

under Executive 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 August 7, 2013, 

requires the format for this Agenda. 

First, the Agenda is divided by 

initiating offices. Then, the Agenda is 

divided into five categories: (1) Prerule 

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 Federal 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 whether 

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 Flexibility 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 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS6
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 4 / Tuesday, January 7, 2014 / Unified Agenda 1191 

will prepare or has prepared for the 

action (with minor exceptions, DOT 

requires an economic analysis for all its 

rulemakings); (11) an agency contact 

office or official who can provide 

further information; (12) a Regulation 

Identifier Number (RIN) assigned to 

identify an individual rulemaking in the 

Agenda and facilitate tracing further 

action on the issue; (13) whether the 

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 Fairness Act. If there is 

information that does not fit in the other 

categories, it will be included under a 

separate heading entitled ‘‘Additional 

Information.’’ One such example of this 

is the letters ‘‘SB,’’ ‘‘IC,’’ ‘‘SLT.’’ These 

refer to information used as part of our 

required reports on Retrospective 

Review of DOT rulemakings. A ‘‘Y’’ or 

an ‘‘N,’’ for yes and no, respectively, 

follow the letters to indicate whether or 

not a particular rulemaking would have 

effects on: small businesses (SB); 

information collections (IC); or State, 

local, or tribal (SLT) governments. 

For nonsignificant regulations issued 

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 requirements 

operationally current, we only include 

the general category of the regulations, 

the identity of a contact office or 

official, and an indication of the 

expected number of regulations; we do 

not list individual regulations. 

In the ‘‘Timetable’’ column, we use 

abbreviations 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 

earliest 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 

the 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 Agenda 

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. In response 

to Executive Order 13563 

‘‘Retrospective Review and Analysis of 

Existing Rules,’’ we have prepared a 

retrospective review plan providing 

more detail on the process we use to 

conduct reviews of existing rules, 

including changes in response to 

Executive Order 13563. We provided 

the public opportunities to comment at 

www.regulations.gov and Idea Scale on 

both our process and any existing DOT 

rules the public thought needed review. 

The plan and the results of our review 

can be found at http://www.dot.gov/

regulations and http://www.dot.gov/

mission/open/open-government. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Department is especially 

interested in obtaining information on 

requirements that have a ‘‘significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities’’ and, therefore, 

must be reviewed under the Regulatory 

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 (sec. 

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 State, 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 distribution of power 

and responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and various levels of 

Government or Indian tribes. Therefore, 

we encourage State and local 

Governments or Indian tribes 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 offices within the Department 

with regard to any specific item on the 

Agenda. Regulatory action, in addition 

to the items listed, is not precluded. 

Dated: September 4, 2013. 

Anthony Foxx, 

Secretary of Transportation.

Appendix D—Review Plans for Section 

610 and Other Requirements 

Part I—The Plan 

General 

The Department of Transportation has 

long recognized the importance of 

regularly reviewing its existing 

regulations to determine 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. 

In accordance with Executive Order 

13563, ‘‘Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review,’’ issued by the 

President on January 18, 2011, the 

Department has added other elements to 

its review plan. The Department has 

decided to improve its plan by adding 

special oversight processes within the 

Department; encouraging effective and 

timely reviews, including providing 

additional guidance on particular 

problems that warrant review; and 

expanding opportunities for public 

participation. 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 Department’s Operating 

Administrations have a 10-year review 

plan. These reviews comply with 

section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act. 

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 applicability. 

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 requirements 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 

publish 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 sections 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 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS6
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 4 / Tuesday, January 7, 2014 / Unified Agenda 1193 

best to lessen the impact of these rules 

and provide a name or docket to which 

public comments can be submitted. In 

some cases, 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 

specified 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. 

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 is in 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 

The FAA has elected to use the twostep, two-year process used by most 

DOT modes in past plans. As such, the 

FAA has divided 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 percent block of the 

regulations will be analyzed to identify 

those with a SEIOSNOSE. 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 

those reviews will be published in the 

DOT Semiannual Regulatory Agenda.

Federal-Aid Highway Program 

The FHWA has adopted regulations in 

title 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 highways 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 receive 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 

entities under the Regulatory 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.

Analyzed and a Summary of Results 

49 CFR part 218—Railroad Operating 

Practices 

• Section 610: There is no 

SEIOSNOSE. 

• General: The rule prescribes 

minimum requirements for railroad 

operating rules and practices. No 

changes are needed. FRA’s plain 

language review of this rule 

indicates no need for substantial 

revision. 

49 CFR part 221—Rear End Marking 

Device—Passenger, Commuter, and 

Freight Trains 

• Section 610: There is no 

SEIOSNOSE. 

• General: Since the rule prescribes 

minimum requirements for 

railroads to equip the rear car of 

passenger, commuter and freight 

trains with highly visible markers it 

will provide safety and security not 

only for railroad employees but also 

for the general public. No changes 

are needed. FRA’s plain language 

review of this rule indicates no 

need for substantial revision. 

49 CFR part 241—United States 

Locational Requirement for 

Dispatching of United States Rail 

Operations 

• Section 610: There is no 

SEIOSNOSE. 

• General: No changes are needed. 

These regulations are cost effective 

and impose the least burden. FRA’s 

plain language review of this rule 

indicates no need for substantial 

revision. 

49 CFR part 244—Regulations on Safety 

Integration Plans Governing 

Railroad Consolidations, Mergers 

and Acquisitions of Control 

• Section 610: There is no 

SEIOSNOSE. 

• General: No changes are needed.

Year 4 (Fall 2011) List of Rules 

Analyzed and Summary of Results 

49 CFR part 609—Transportation for 

Elderly and Handicapped Persons 

• Section 610: The agency has 

determined that the rule does not 

have a significant effect on a 

substantial number of small 

entities. 

• General: This rule was promulgated 

to enact the statutory requirements 

of sections 49 U.S.C. 5307(d) and 

5308(b) to establish requirements 

for determining the maximum fare 

for the transportation of elderly 

persons and persons with 

disabilities during a public 

transportation’s period of off-peak 

hours. Recently, Congress enacted 

the Moving Ahead for Progress in 

the 21st Century Act (MAP–21), 

Public Law 112–141, (2012). The 

underlying purpose for the rule was 

unchanged by Map§21; however, 

the reference to maximum fares in 

section 5308(b) was repealed long 

ago and MAP–21 amended 49 

U.S.C. section 5307. Therefore, in 

Fiscal Year 2014, FTA plans to 

issue a rulemaking to implement 

technical corrections to the 

authority and applicability sections 

of 49 CFR part 609. 

49 CFR part 611—Major Capital 

Investment Projects 

• Section 610: The agency has 

determined that the rule does not 

have a significant effect on a 

substantial number of small 

entities. FTA recently revised the 

rule and evaluated the likely effects 

of the final rule on small entities 

and requested public comment 

during the rulemaking process. FTA 

determined that the rule does not 

have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities because small entities do 

not generally undertake the 

development of major capital 

projects. There were no public 

comments submitted on this issue 

during the rulemaking process. 

• General: FTA revised part 611 via a 

final rule in January 2013, in order 

to implement recent MAP–21 

amendments to 49 U.S.C. section 

5309 (see 78 Fed. Reg. 1992). The 

‘‘New Starts’’ and ‘‘Small Starts’’ 

programs authorized by section 

5309 are FTA’s primary capital 

funding programs for new or 

extended transit systems. Part 611 

of the Code of Federal Regulations 

outlines the process by which FTA 

rates and evaluates grants proposals 

for these programs. With the revised 

rule, FTA has significantly 

streamlined its evaluation process 

for both programs. 

Year 5 (Fall 2012) List of Rule(s) 

Analyzed and Summary of Results 

49 CFR part 613—Planning Assistance 

and Standards 

• Section 610: The Agency has 

determined that the rule does not 

have a significant effect on a 

substantial number of small entities 

because it is only applicable to 

States and metropolitan planning 

organizations which are not 

included in the definition of small 

entity as set forth in 5 U.S.C. 601. 

• General: The rule was promulgated 

to govern the development of 

metropolitan transportation plans 

and programs for urbanized areas, 

State transportation plans and 

programs, and the congestion 

management process. Recently, 

Congress amended the planning 

statutes when it enacted the Moving 

Ahead for Progress in the 21st 

Century Act (MAP–21), Public Law 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS6
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 4 / Tuesday, January 7, 2014 / Unified Agenda 1199 

112–141, (2012). In Fiscal Year 

2014, FTA will undertake a joint 

notice of proposed rulemaking with 

FHWA in order to revise the 

regulations consistent with current 

statutory requirements. In doing so, 

FHWA and FTA will propose 

establishing a performance-based 

approach to transportation 

decisionmaking. 

49 CFR part 614—Transportation 

Infrastructure Management 

• Section 610: The Agency has 

determined that the rule does not 

have a significant effect on a 

substantial number of small entities 

as it only cross-references 23 CFR 

part 500, a FHWA regulation which 

is applicable to States. 

• General: No changes are needed at 

this time. However, FTA will 

continue to work with FHWA to 

assess whether or not technology 

will warrant revisions to the 

regulation.

Analyzed and a Summary of Results 

49 CFR part 106—Rulemaking 

Procedures; 

49 CFR part 107—Hazardous Materials 

Program Procedures; and 

49 CFR part 171—General Information, 

Regulations, and Definitions 

• Section 610: There is no 

SEIOSNOSE. On May 9, 2013 (78 

FR 27169) PHMSA published the 

intent to review and analyze 

regulations in its Unified Agenda 

and Regulatory Plan to identify 

requirements which may have a 

significant impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. 

Specifically, PHMSA provided an 

initial review and requested 

comments on the impact of the 

rules in 49 CFR parts 106, 107, and 

171 on small businesses. In 

addition, PHMSA asked the 

following questions of small 

businesses: 

1. How and to what degree these rules 

affect you; 

2. Any complaints or comments you 

may have concerning the covered rules; 

3. The complexity of the covered 

rules; 

4. The extent to which the rules 

overlap, duplicate or conflict with other 

Federal rules, and to the extent feasible, 

with State and local Government rules; 

and 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS6
1200 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 4 / Tuesday, January 7, 2014 / Unified Agenda 

5. The extent of the economic impact 

on you and why you believe the 

economic impact is significant.’’ 

Two comments were received in 

response to the notice (notice and 

comments are available for review at: 

http://www.regulations.gov; under 

Docket No. PHMSA–2013–0027). The 

comments did not directly relate to the 

rules under review or the impacts those 

rules on small businesses. Based on 

PHMSA’s initial review of these rules 

and evaluation of the comments 

received, the Agency has determined 

that the rules do not have a significant 

effect on a substantial number of small 

entities. 

• General: No changes are needed. 

These regulations are cost effective 

and impose the least burden. 

PHMSA’s plain language review of 

this rule indicates no need for 

substantial revision. 

49 CFR part 190—Pipeline Safety 

Programs and Rulemaking 

Procedures 

• Section 610: There is no 

SEIOSNOSE. Based on regulated 

entities, PHMSA found that the 

majority of operators are not small 

businesses. Therefore, though some 

small entities may be affected the 

economic impact on small entities 

will not be significant. 

• General: No changes are needed. 

These regulations are cost effective 

and impose the least burden. 

PHMSA’s plain language review 

indicates no need for substantial 

revision. 

49 CFR part 195—Transportation of 

Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline 

• Section 610: There is no 

SEIOSNOSE. Based on regulated 

entities, PHMSA found that the 

majority of operators are not small 

businesses. Therefore, though some 

small entities may be affected the 

economic impact on small entities 

will not be significant. 

• General: No changes are needed. 

These regulations are cost effective 

and impose the least burden. 

PHMSA’s plain language review 

indicates no need for substantial 

revision.

Legal Authority: 49 U.S.C. 41712; 49 

U.S.C. 40101;49 U.S.C. 41702 

Abstract: This rulemaking would 

address the following issues: (1) 

Whether the Department should require 

a marketing carrier to provide assistance 

to its code-share partner when a flight 

operated by the code-share partner 

experiences a lengthy tarmac delay; (2) 

whether the Department should 

enhance disclosure requirements on 

code-share operations, including 

requiring on-time performance data, 

reporting of certain data code-share 

operations, and codifying the statutory 

amendment of 49 U.S.C. 41712(c) 

regarding Web site schedule disclosure 

of code-share operations; (3) whether 

the Department should expand the ontime performance ‘‘reporting carrier’’ 

pool to include smaller carriers; (4) 

whether the Department should require 

travel agents to adopt minimum 

customer service standards in relation to 

the sale of air transportation; (5) 

whether the Department should require 

ticket agents to disclose the carriers 

whose tickets they sell or do not sell 

and information regarding any incentive

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 4 / Tuesday, January 7, 2014 / Unified Agenda 1203 

payments they receive in connection 

with the sale of air transportation; (6) 

whether the Department should require 

ticket agents to disclose any preferential 

display of individual fares or carriers in 

the ticket agent ́s internet displays; (7) 

whether the Department should require

U.S.C. 40113; 49 U.S.C. 44701; Pub. L.

Abstract: This rulemaking would 

amend evaluation qualifications for 

simulators to ensure the simulators are 

technically capable of performing new 

flight training tasks as identified in the 

Airline Safety and Federal Aviation 

Administration Extension Act of 2010 

(Pub. L. 111–216) and that are included 

in a separate rulemaking (2120–AJ00). 

By ensuring the simulators provide an 

accurate and realistic simulation, this 

rulemaking would allow for training on 

the following tasks: (1) Full/

aerodynamic stall, and (2) upset 

recognition and recovery, as identified 

in Pub. L. 111–216. Furthermore, this 

rulemaking would improve the 

minimum FSTD evaluation 

requirements for gusting crosswinds 

(takeoff/landing), engine and airframe 

icing, and bounced landing recovery 

methods in response to NTSB and

recommendations. The intended effect 

is to ensure an adequate level of 

simulator fidelity.

Abstract: The rulemaking would 

adopt regulations governing the lease 

and interchange of passenger vehicles 

to: (1) identify the motor carrier 

operating a bus or motorcoach and 

responsible for compliance with the 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations; (2) ensure that a lessor 

surrenders control of the vehicle for the 

full term of the lease or temporary 

exchange of vehicles and drivers; and 

(3) require motor carriers subject to a 

prohibition on operating in interstate 

commerce to notify FMCSA in writing 

before leasing or otherwise transferring 

control of their vehicles to other 

carriers. This action is necessary to 

ensure that unsafe passenger carriers 

cannot evade FMCSA oversight and 

enforcement by operating under the 

authority of another carrier that 

exercises no actual control over those 

operations. This action will ensure that 

FMCSA, the National Transportation 

Safety Board (NTSB), and our State 

partners are able to identify motor 

carriers transporting passengers in 

interstate commerce and correctly 

assign responsibility for regulatory 

violations during inspections, 

compliance investigations, and crash 

studies. It also provides the general 

public with the means to identify the 

responsible motor carrier at the time of 

transportation. While detailed lease and

Abstract: This rulemaking would 

revise the Federal Railroad 

Administration ́s (FRA) alcohol and 

drug regulations to cover all employees 

of railroads, railroad contractors, and 

subcontractors who perform 

maintenance-of-way activities. FRA’s 

alcohol and drug regulations (49 CFR

drugs. The regulations also contain 

requirements for post-accident 

toxicological (PAT) testing, random 

testing, reasonable cause testing, 

reasonable suspicion testing, co-worker 

and voluntary referral policies, preemployment drug testing, and reporting. 

Currently, the regulations only apply to 

covered employees (defined as 

employees assigned to perform covered 

service subject to the Hours of Service 

Act, 49 CFR chapter 211). In response to 

a statutory mandate, the proposed 

rulemaking would expand coverage of 

part 219 to employees who perform

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 4 / Tuesday, January 7, 2014 / Unified Agenda 1207 

Regulations to comprehensively address 

the safe transportation of lithium cells 

and batteries. The intent of the 

rulemaking is to strengthen the current 

regulatory framework by imposing more 

effective safeguards, including design 

testing to address risks related to 

internal short circuits, and enhanced 

packaging, hazard communication, and 

operational measures for various types 

and sizes of lithium batteries in specific 

transportation contexts. The rulemaking 

would respond to several 

recommendations issued by the 

National Transportation Safety Board.
