in response to this Notice are public

personal information, you should be 

aware that your comments as submitted, 

including your personal information, 

will be available for public review. 

Abstract of proposed collection: The 

purpose of the DS–5528 is to document 

the evacuation of persons from abroad 

when their lives are endangered by war, 

civil unrest, or natural disaster, 

document issuance of a crisis 

evacuation loan, obtain a Privacy Act 

waiver to share information about the 

welfare of a U.S. citizen or lawful 

permanent resident consistent with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, and to facilitate 

debt collection. 

Methodology: An electronic version of 

the Evacuee Manifest and Promissory 

Note was created, allowing applicants to 

type their information into the form, 

print it, and present it to a consular 

officer at the evacuation point. 

Continued software development will 

provide the capability to electronically 

submit loan applications for 

adjudication. The final-stage of software 

development will not only allow the 

applicant to enter his/her information 

and submit the form, the information 

will also be made available for all stages 

of financial processing including the 

Department of State’s debt collection 

process. Due to the potential for serious 

conditions during crisis events that 

often affect electronic and internet 

infrastructure systems, the electronic 

form will not replace the paper form. 

Rather, the paper form will still be 

maintained and used in the event that 

applicants are unable to submit forms 

electronically.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: State Right-of-Way Operations 

Manuals. 

Background: It is the responsibility of 

each State Department of Transportation 

(State) to acquire, manage and dispose 

of real property in compliance with the 

legal requirements of State and Federal 

laws and regulations. Part of providing 

assurance of compliance is to describe 

in a right-of-way procedural (operations) 

manual the organization, policies and 

procedures of the State to such an extent 

that these guide State employees, local 

acquiring agencies, and contractors who 

acquire and manage real property that is 

used for a federally funded 

transportation project. Procedural 

manuals assure the FHWA that the 

requirements of the Uniform Relocation 

Assistance and Real Property 

Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act) 

will be met. The State responsibility to 

prepare and maintain an up-to-date 

right-of-way procedural manual is set 

out in 23 CFR 710.201(c). Due to the 

amending of 23 CFR 710 regulations, a 

lengthy and in-depth update of each 

manual will be required. The revisions 

are prompted by enactment of the 

Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st 

Century Act (MAP–21). The regulation 

allows States flexibility in determining 

how to meet the manual requirement. 

This flexibility allows States to prepare 

manuals in the format of their choosing, 

to the level of detail necessitated by 

State complexities. Each State decides 

how it will provide service to 

individuals and businesses affected by 

Federal or federally-assisted projects, 

while at the same time reducing the 

burden of government regulation. States 

are required to update manuals to reflect 

changes in Federal requirements for 

programs administered under Title 23 

U.S.C. The State manuals may be 

submitted to FHWA electronically or 

made available by posting on the State 

Web site. 

Respondents: 52 State Departments of 

Transportation, including the District of 

Columbia and Puerto Rico. 

Frequency: A one-time collection due 

to regulatory revisions. Then States 

update their manuals on an annually 

basis and certify every 5 years. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 225 hours per respondent. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 225 hours for each of the 52 State 

Departments of Transportation. 

The total is 11,700 burden hours. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended; 

and 49 CFR 1.48. 

Dated: April 8, 2015.

BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

Petition for Exemption From the 

Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard; 

Mercedes-Benz Usa, LLC 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Grant of petition for exemption. 

SUMMARY: This document grants in full 

the Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC’s 

(MBUSA) petition for an exemption of 

the smart Line Chassis vehicle line in 

accordance with 49 CFR part 543, 

Exemption from Vehicle Theft 

Prevention Standard. This petition is 

granted because the agency has 

determined that the antitheft device to 

be placed on the line as standard 

equipment is likely to be as effective in 

reducing and deterring motor vehicle 

theft as compliance with the partsmarking requirements of 49 CFR part 

541, Federal Motor Vehicle Theft 

Prevention Standard (Theft Prevention 

Standard). 

DATES: The exemption granted by this 

notice is effective beginning with the 

2016 model year (MY). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Deborah Mazyck, Office of International 

Policy, Fuel Economy, and Consumer 

Programs, NHTSA, W43–443, 1200 New 

Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 

20590. Ms. Mazyck’s phone number is 

(202) 366–4139. Her fax number is (202) 

493–2990. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a 

petition dated December 17, 2014, 

MBUSA requested an exemption from 

the parts-marking requirements of the 

Theft Prevention Standard for the 

Mercedes-Benz smart Line Chassis 

vehicle line beginning with MY 2016. 

The petition requested an exemption 

from parts-marking pursuant to 49 CFR 

part 543, Exemption from Vehicle Theft 

Prevention Standard, based on the 

installation of an antitheft device as 

standard equipment for the entire 

vehicle line. 

Under 49 CFR 543.5(a), a 

manufacturer may petition NHTSA to 

grant an exemption for one vehicle line 

per model year. In its petition, MBUSA 

provided a detailed description and 

diagram of the identity, design, and 

location of the components of the 

antitheft device for the smart Line 

Chassis vehicle line which includes the 

smart fortwo vehicle. MBUSA stated 

that its MY 2016 smart Line Chassis 

vehicle line will be equipped with its 

passive, transponder-based ignition 

immobilizer (FBS III/FBS IV) antitheft 

device and an access code-protected 

locking system as standard equipment. 

Key components of the immobilizer 

antitheft device will include the 

immobilizer, transmitter key, electronic 

ignition starter switch control unit (EIS), 

the body control module (ECM), and the 

engine control module (ECU). MBUSA 

stated that its immobilizer device is an 

interlinked system of control units 

which collectively perform the 

immobilizer function. The interlinked 

system includes the engine, EIS, 

transmitter key, ECU and ECM 

(including the fuel injection system) 

which independently calculates and 

matches a unique code. MBUSA stated 

that it is impossible to read the code 

from the vehicle in order to defeat the 

system. If a relevant query from the 

vehicle to the transmitter key is valid, 

operation of the vehicle will be 

authorized. MBUSA further stated that 

it will offer an audible and visible alarm
