490.0 kHz and above 1000 MHz. 

Radiated emission limits in these three 

bands are based on measurements 

employing an average detector with a 1 

MHz RBW. 

(2) The power density of radiated 

emissions outside the operating band 

above 40.0 GHz shall not exceed the 

following employing an average detector 

with a 1 MHz RBW: 

(i) For radiated emissions between 40 

and 200 GHz from field disturbance 

sensors and radar systems operating in 

the band 76–81 GHz: 600 pW/cm2 at a 

distance of 3 meters from the exterior 

surface of the radiating structure. 

(ii) For radiated emissions above 200 

GHz from field disturbance sensors and 

radar systems operating in the 76–81 

GHz band: 1000 pW/cm2 at a distance 

of 3 meters from the exterior surface of 

the radiating structure. 

(3) For field disturbance sensors and 

radar systems operating in the 76–81 

GHz band, the spectrum shall be 

investigated up to 231.0 GHz. 

(c) Fundamental emissions must be 

contained within the frequency bands 

specified in this section during all 

conditions of operation. Equipment is 

presumed to operate over the 

temperature range ¥20 to +50 degrees 

Celsius with an input voltage variation 

of 85% to 115% of rated input voltage, 

unless justification is presented to 

demonstrate otherwise. 

§ 95.1617 RF safety. 

Regardless of the power density levels 

permitted under this subpart, devices 

operating under the provisions of this 

subpart are subject to the 

radiofrequency radiation exposure 

requirements specified in §§ 1.1307(b), 

2.1091 and 2.1093 of this chapter, as 

appropriate. Applications for equipment 

authorization of devices operating under 

this section must contain a statement 

confirming compliance with these 

requirements for both fundamental 

emissions and unwanted emissions. 

Technical information showing the 

basis for this statement must be 

submitted to the Commission upon 

request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Entry-Level Driver Training 

Section 32304 of the Moving Ahead 

for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP– 

21) (Pub. L. 112–141, 126 Stat. 405 (July 

6, 2012)) requires FMCSA to establish 

new regulations concerning ELDT. 

MAP–21 requires ‘‘that the training 

regulations address knowledge and 

skills for motor vehicle operation, 

specific requirements for hazmat and 

passenger endorsements, create a 

certificate system for meeting 

requirements, and require training 

providers to demonstrate that their 

training meets uniform standards.’’ The 

new requirements would apply to 

individuals seeking a CDL to operate 

CMVs, as defined in 49 CFR 383.5. 

On August 19, 2014 (79 FR 49044), 

FMCSA announced that the Agency 

would explore the feasibility of 

conducting a negotiated rulemaking 

concerning entry-level driver training 

for drivers of CMVs. The Agency 

announced the hiring of a convener to 

speak with interested parties about the 

feasibility of conducting an ELDT 

negotiated rulemaking and requested 

public comments by September 18, 

2014. As part of the first step in this 

process, the convener conducted these 

interviews and submitted a report to the 

Agency on November 26, 2014, 

regarding the feasibility of conducting a 

negotiated rulemaking. The convening 

report is available both in the 

rulemaking docket at FMCSA–2007– 

27748 and on the Internet at 

eldtac.fmcsa.dot.gov. 

On December 10, 2014 (79 FR 73273), 

FMCSA announced its intent to 

establish a negotiated rulemaking 

committee to negotiate and develop 

proposed regulations to implement the 

MAP–21 provision concerning ELDT 

based on the recommendations of the 

convener. On February 12, 2015 (80 FR 

7814), FMCSA announced the 

appointment of members to the EntryLevel Driver Training Advisory 

Committee (ELDTAC) established to 

complete a negotiated rulemaking on 

ELDT for individuals who want to 

operate CMVs. 

ELDTAC 

The ELDTAC is established by charter 

in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory committee Act (FACA), 5 

U.S.C., App. 2. Transportation Secretary 

Anthony Foxx signed the ELDTAC 

charter on January 15, 2015, which 

provides up to 2 years for the 

Committee’s duration, in accordance 

with section 14 of FACA. Additionally, 

as the ELDTAC is a negotiated 

rulemaking committee (‘‘Reg Neg’’), it 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 44 / Friday, March 6, 2015 / Proposed Rules 12137 

complies with the Negotiated 

Rulemaking Act (5 U.S.C. 564). The 

Committee is effective from the date of 

signature through January 15, 2017. 

ELDTAC Membership 

In its December 10, 2014, Federal 

Register notice, the Agency announced 

that it was soliciting applications and 

nominations for membership on the 

ELDTAC. These members are experts in 

their respective fields and appointed as 

Special Government employees or 

representatives of entities or interests 

including but not limited to the 

following: CMV driver training 

organizations; industry representatives; 

representatives of driver training 

schools; motor carriers (of property and 

passengers) and associations; State 

licensing agencies; State enforcement 

agencies; labor unions; safety advocacy 

groups; insurance companies; and 

others selected with a view toward 

achieving varied perspectives on ELDT. 

In an effort to balance these interests to 

the extent practicable, the FMCSA 

Acting Administrator appointed 26 

members on January 30, 2015, who will 

each serve for up to one two-year term. 

The members met for the first time 

Thursday–Friday, February 26–27, 

2015. 

II. Meeting Participation 

Oral comments from the public will 

be heard during the meeting, as 

managed by the Reg Neg facilitator. 

III. Submitting Written Comments

written comments on the topics to be 

considered during the meeting one week 

prior to each meeting to Federal Docket 

Management System (FDMC) Docket

www.dot.gov/privacy. 

IV. Future Committee Meetings and 

Rulemaking Calendar 

In coordination with the Reg Neg 

facilitator, FMCSA has developed this 

schedule of committee meetings, 

running through May 2015. 

FMCSA intends to complete the Reg 

Neg process for the proposed rule 

within the first half of 2015 and to 

publish a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPRM) this year, followed 

by a Final Rule in 2016. After the 

conclusion of the committee meetings, 

the Agency will draft the NPRM, which 

is expected to take approximately 6–8 

weeks, depending on the degree of 

consensus on the issues and the 

supporting data developed by the 

committee. The NPRM will then be 

reviewed by DOT’s Office of the 

Secretary and the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB). The Agency will 

then publish the NPRM for public 

comment. 

Following the close of the public 

comment period the Agency will 

evaluate and respond to public 

comments as it drafts a final rule, which 

will also undergo Departmental and 

OMB review. Although the time needed 

to address public comments to an 

NPRM that has been developed through 

a successful negotiated rulemaking 

process is typically shorter than for 

rules conducted through the ordinary 

informal notice and comment process, 

the Agency must nonetheless address 

substantive public comments in the 

final rule, in accordance with the 

Administrative Procedure Act. While 

the Agency cannot state with certainty 

the time required to complete the Reg 

Neg process and notice and comment 

rulemaking, the target date for 

publication of an NPRM is October 15, 

2015. 

Issued on: March 2, 2015.

Associate Administrator for Policy.
