56984 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 179 / Monday, September 16, 2013 / Notices 

1The rule-making associated with the T–100 

program can be found on the Federal Docket 

Management System (FDMS) at http://

www.regulations.gov, in Docket DOT–OST–1998– 

4043. Information regarding burden hours is on file 

in the Office of Aviation Analysis (X–50). 

2The Office of Aviation Analysis (X–50) 

estimated that small-carriers would require 1 

burden hour per report, and large carriers would 

require 3 burden hours per report to analyze and 

report T–100 program data. Considering that the 

data required in this information collection can be 

derived from data already collected, we have taken 

an average of the estimated time required, and 

conservatively shortened the time by 45 minutes 

because no new data entry will be required. 

3Calculation: (4 burden hours per application) × 

(30 foreign homelands) × (2 requests per year) = 240 

annual burden hours. Apportioning 240 annual 

burden hours equally among an average of 430 

applications annually = approximately 30 burden 

minutes per application. 

submissions.1 We estimated that carriers 

will require 1.25 hours per application2

to compile and analyze the data 

necessary to disclose the number of 

third- and fourth-freedom flights 

conducted within the twelve-month 

period preceding the filing of an 

application. 

Foreign carriers will also have to 

provide evidence that their homeland 

government will afford reciprocity to 

U.S. carriers seeking authority for the 

similar fifth-, sixth- and seventhfreedom operations. Carriers may cite 

certifications submitted by carriers from 

the same homeland if that homeland 

issued such certification within the 

preceding six-month period. 

Approximately 100 carriers from 

roughly 30 distinct homelands use OST 

Form 4540 to apply for statements of 

authorization annually. We estimate 

that one foreign carrier from any given 

homeland will expend roughly 4 hours 

every six-months to obtain certification 

from its homeland governments.3 We 

have apportioned 30 minutes to each 

application to account for the time 

required to obtain certifications from 

homeland governments. 

We have no empirical data to indicate 

how much time is required for a person 

to complete OST Form 4540; however, 

anecdotal evidence reveals that 

respondents spend thirty (30) minutes 

or less completing the form and brief 

justification. In some cases, respondents 

spend a limited amount of time, less 

than ten (10) minutes, reviewing the 

form before sending it via facsimile or 

email to the Department. In the interest 

of providing a conservative estimate so 

as to not understate the burden hours, 

we estimate the hour burden for 

completing OST Form 4540 as thirty 

(30) minutes.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2013–0108] 

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Applications; Epilepsy and Seizure 

Disorders 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of applications for 

exemption, request for comments. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces receipt of 

applications from 6 individuals for an 

exemption from the prohibition against 

persons with a clinical diagnosis of 

epilepsy or any other condition which 

is likely to cause a loss of consciousness 

or any loss of ability to operate a 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) from 

operating CMVs in interstate commerce. 

The regulation and the associated 

advisory criteria published in the Code 

of Federal Regulations as the 

‘‘Instructions for Performing and 

Recording Physical Examinations’’ have 

resulted in numerous drivers being 

prohibited from operating CMVs in 

interstate commerce based on the fact 

that they have had one or more seizures 

and are taking anti-seizure medication, 

rather than an individual analysis of 

their circumstances by a qualified 

medical examiner. If granted, the 

exemptions would enable these 

individuals who have had one or more 

seizures and are taking anti-seizure 

medication to operate CMVs for 2 years 

in interstate commerce.
