10276 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 23, 2022 / Notices 

Activities,’’ issued February 10, 1998, 

and revised January 27, 2016, the FAA 

accepted consensus standards for the 

certification of light-sport aircraft. 

Instead of developing airworthiness 

standards through the rulemaking 

process, the FAA participates as a 

member of Committee F37 in 

developing and revising these 

standards. In the final rule, the FAA 

stated the agency would continue to 

participate in revising the consensus 

standards at an interval no longer than 

every two years (69 FR 44787). Each 

review cycle results in a revision to or 

reapproval of the consensus standard. A 

revision changes the technical content 

of the consensus standard, while a 

reapproval indicates a review cycle has 

been completed with no technical 

changes. 

Each consensus standard is issued 

under a fixed designation (e.g., F2245). 

A number immediately following the 

designation indicates the year of 

original adoption or, in the case of 

revision, the year of last revision. A 

number in parentheses following the 

year of original adoption or revision 

indicates the year of last reapproval. For 

example, F2242–05(2013) designates a 

standard that was originally adopted (or 

revised) in 2005 and reapproved in 

2013. A superscript epsilon (e) after the 

reapproval year indicates an editorial 

change since the last revision or 

reapproval. The FAA only issues a 

notice of availability for new or revised 

standards. Reapproved standards issued 

with no technical changes or standards 

issued with editorial changes only (i.e., 

superscript epsilon [e]) are accepted by 

the FAA without notice. 

Comments on Previous Notice of 

Availability 

The FAA last published a notice of 

availability of new and revised 

consensus standards in the Federal 

Register on October 3, 2018 (83 FR 

49971; corrected October 22, 2018, 83 

FR 53358). In the notice, the FAA 

requested public comments on two new 

and two revised consensus standards. 

The comment period closed on 

December 3, 2018. The FAA received no 

comments. 

Consensus Standards in This Notice of 

Availability 

The FAA has participated in the 

development process for the consensus 

standards presented in this notice of 

availability and reviewed these 

standards for compliance with the 

regulatory requirements of the 

Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for 

the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft 

rule. Any light-sport aircraft that has 

been designed, manufactured, and 

operated in accordance with these and 

previously accepted consensus 

standards provides the public with an 

appropriate level of safety. 

Manufacturers who chose to produce 

and certificate these aircraft under 14 

CFR 21.190 or 21.191 must state that the 

aircraft meets the provisions of the latest 

FAA-accepted consensus standards for 

light sport aircraft. 

The FAA maintains a listing of the 

FAA-accepted consensus standards for 

light-sport aircraft on the following 

website: http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/ 

gen_av/light_sport/. 

Effective Period of Use for Previous 

Consensus Standards 

The following previously-accepted 

consensus standards have been revised. 

This notice announces the FAA’s 

acceptance of the revisions. Either the 

previous revision or the current revision 

may be used for initial airworthiness 

certification of light-sport aircraft until 

February 23, 2023. This period will 

allow aircraft that have started the 

initial airworthiness certification 

process using the previous revision to 

complete that process. After February 

23, 2023, manufacturers must use the 

current revision and must identify the 

current revision in the manufacturer’s 

statement of compliance for initial 

airworthiness certification of light-sport 

aircraft unless the FAA publishes a 

notification otherwise. 

The following consensus standards 

may not be used after February 23, 2023: 

ASTM Designation F2245–16c, 

Standard Specification for Design and 

Performance of a Light Sport Airplane 

ASTM Designation F2339–17, Standard 

Practice for Design and Manufacture 

of Reciprocating Spark Ignition 

Engines for Light Sport Aircraft 

The Consensus Standards 

The FAA finds the following new and 

revised consensus standards acceptable 

for certification under the provisions of 

the Certification of Aircraft and Airmen 

for the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft 

rule. These consensus standards become 

effective February 23, 2022 and may be 

used unless the FAA publishes a 

notification otherwise: 

ASTM Designation F2245–20, Standard 

Specification for Design and 

Performance of a Light Sport Airplane

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Financial Responsibility Motor 

Carriers, Freight Forwarders, and 

Brokers. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0017. 

Type of Request: Renewal. 

Respondents: For-hire Motor Carriers, 

Brokers, and Freight Forwarders. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

200,147. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

estimated average burden per response 

for Form BMC–40 is 40 hours. The 

estimated average burden per response 

for forms BMC–34, 35, 36, 82, 83, 84, 85, 

91, and 91X is 10 minutes per form. In 

addition, form BMC–32 takes 10 

minutes. 

Expiration Date: February 28, 2022. 

Frequency of Response: Certificates of 

insurance, surety bonds, and trust fund 

agreements are required when the 

transportation entity first registers with 

FMCSA and then when such coverages 

are changed or replaced by these 

entities. Notices of cancellation are 

required only when such certificates of 

insurance, surety bonds, or trust fund 

agreements are cancelled. The BMC–40 

is filed only when a motor carrier or 

freight forwarder seeks approval from 

FMCSA to self-insure its bodily injury 

and property damage (BI & PD) and/or 

cargo liability coverage. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

49,439 hours. 

Background: The Secretary of 

Transportation (Secretary) is authorized 

to register for-hire motor carriers of 

property and passengers under the 

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 13902, surface 

freight forwarders under the provisions 

of 49 U.S.C. 13903, and property brokers 

under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 13904. 

These persons may conduct 

transportation services only if they are 

registered pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 13901. 

The registration remains valid only as 

long as these transportation entities 

maintain, on file with FMCSA, evidence 

of the required levels of financial 

responsibility pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 

13906. FMCSA regulations governing 

the financial responsibility 

requirements for these entities are found 

at 49 CFR part 387. The Secretary has 

delegated authority pertaining to these 

requirements to FMCSA. The 

information collected from these forms 

are summarized and displayed in 

FMCSA’s Licensing and Information 

system. 

Forms for Endorsements, Certificates of 

Insurance and Other Evidence of BI & 

PD Liability and Cargo Liability

Liability Surety Bond Under 49 U.S.C. 

13906,’’ provide evidence of the 

required coverage for BI & PD liability. 

A Form BMC–91X filing is required 

when a carrier’s insurance is provided 

by multiple companies instead of just 

one. Form BMC–34, titled ‘‘Household 

Goods Motor Carrier Cargo Liability 

Certificate of Insurance,’’ and Form 

BMC–83, titled ‘‘Household Goods 

Motor Carrier Cargo Liability Surety 

Bond Under 49 U.S.C. 13906,’’ establish 

a carrier’s compliance with the Agency’s 

cargo liability requirements. Only 

household goods (HHG) motor carriers 

and HHG freight forwarders are required 

to file evidence of cargo insurance with 

FMCSA. §§ 387.303T(c), 387.403T(c).

Motor Carrier Policies of Insurance for 

Automobile Bodily Injury and Property 

Damage Liability Under Section 13906, 

Title 49 of the United States Code,’’ and 

Form BMC–32, titled ‘‘Endorsement for 

Household Goods Motor Carrier Policies 

of Insurance for Cargo Liability Under 

49 U.S.C. 13906,’’ are executed by the 

insurance company, attached to the BI 

& PD or cargo liability insurance policy, 

respectively, and forwarded to the 

motor carrier or freight forwarder. 

Requirement To Obtain Surety Bond or 

Trust Fund Agreement 

Form BMC–84, titled ‘‘Broker’s or 

Freight Forwarder’s Surety Bond Under 

49 U.S.C. 13906,’’ and Form BMC–85, 

titled ‘‘Broker’s or Freight Forwarder’s 

Trust Fund Agreement under 49 U.S.C. 

13906 or Notice of Cancellation of the 

Agreement,’’ are filed by brokers or 

freight forwarders to comply with the 

requirement that they must have a 

$75,000 surety bond or trust fund 

agreement in effect before FMCSA will 

issue property broker or freight 

forwarder operating authority 

registration. 

Cancellation of Prior Filings 

Form BMC–35, titled ‘‘Notice of 

Cancellation Motor Carrier Insurance 

under 49 U.S.C. 13906,’’ Form BMC–36, 

titled ‘‘Motor Carrier and Broker’s

Notice of Cancellation,’’ and Form 

BMC–85, titled ‘‘Broker’s or Freight 

Forwarder’s Trust Fund Agreement 

under 49 U.S.C. 13906 or Notice of 

Cancellation of the Agreement,’’ can be 

used to cancel prior filings. 

Self-Insurance 

Motor carriers and freight forwarders 

can also apply to FMCSA to self-insure 

BI & PD and/or cargo liability in lieu of 

filing certificates of insurance or surety 

bonds with the FMCSA. Form BMC–40 

is the application used by motor carriers 

to apply for self-insurance authority.
