C. Privacy Act 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), 

DOT solicits comments from the public 

to better inform its rulemaking process. 

DOT posts these comments, without 

edit, including any personal information 

the commenter provides, to 

www.regulations.gov, as described in 

the system of records notice (DOT/ALL– 

14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at 

www.transportation.gov/privacy. 

II. Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 

31315(b), FMCSA may grant an 

exemption from the FMCSRs for no 

longer than a 5-year period if it finds 

such exemption would likely achieve a 

level of safety that is equivalent to, or 

greater than, the level that would be 

achieved absent such exemption. The 

statute also allows the Agency to renew 

exemptions at the end of the 5-year 

period. FMCSA grants medical 

exemptions from the FMCSRs for a 2- 

year period to align with the maximum 

duration of a driver’s medical 

certification. 

The three individuals listed in this 

notice have requested an exemption 

from 49 CFR 391.41(b)(4). Accordingly, 

the Agency will evaluate the 

qualifications of each applicant to 

determine whether granting the 

exemption will achieve the required 

level of safety mandated by statute. 

The physical qualification standard 

found in § 391.41(b)(4) states that a 

person is physically qualified to drive a 

CMV if that person has no current 

clinical diagnosis of myocardial 

infarction, angina pectoris, coronary 

insufficiency, thrombosis, or any other 

cardiovascular disease of a variety 

known to be accompanied by syncope, 

dyspnea, collapse, or congestive cardiac 

failure. 

In addition to the regulations, FMCSA 

has published advisory criteria 1 to 

assist medical examiners in determining 

whether drivers with certain medical 

conditions are qualified to operate a 

CMV in interstate commerce. The 

advisory criteria states that ICDs are 

disqualifying due to risk of syncope. 

III. Qualifications of Applicants 

Willard Drysdale 

Mr. Drysdale is a CMV driver in 

Minnesota. An October 7, 2020, letter 

from his cardiologist reports that in 

2018, his pacemaker was upgraded to an 

ICD for preventive measures, that he 

was asymptomatic concerning his 

cardiac history at his last evaluation in 

2019, and that he has not required any 

device therapies for tachycardia. 

William Edwards 

Mr. Edwards is a CMV driver in New 

York State. A March 31, 2021, letter 

from his cardiac specialists reports that 

he is being treated with a biventricular 

ICD that was implanted in March 2020, 

and the device has never needed to 

deliver therapy. 

Francisco Garcia 

Mr. Garcia is a CMV driver in New 

Jersey. A March 4, 2021, letter from his 

cardiologist reports that his ICD was 

implanted for preventive measures, he 

has never had a sustained arrhythmia, 

and he has never passed out. His 

physician and the electrophysiologist 

who implanted his defibrillator both 

agree that it would be safe for Mr. Garcia 

to drive a CMV. 

IV. Request for Comments 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) 

and 31315(b), FMCSA requests public 

comment from all interested persons on 

the exemption petitions described in 

this notice. We will consider all 

comments received before the close of 

business on the closing date indicated 

under the DATES section of the notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 9, 

2021, President Biden issued an 

Executive Order on Promoting 

Competition in the American Economy. 

E.O. 14036, 86 FR 36987 (July 14, 2021). 

Section 5(j) directed the Secretary of the 

Treasury, in consultation with the 

Attorney General and the Chair of the 

Federal Trade Commission (FTC), to 

submit a report within 120 days 

‘‘assessing the current market structure 

and conditions of competition [for beer, 

wine, and spirits], including an 

assessment of any threats to competition 

and barriers to new entrants.’’ The 

report is to include discussion of 

unlawful trade practices; patterns of 

consolidation in production, 

distribution, or retail markets; and ‘‘any 

unnecessary trade practice regulations 

of matters such as bottle sizes, 

permitting, or labeling that may 

unnecessarily inhibit competition.’’ 

Further, Section 5(k) of the Order 

directs the Treasury Secretary, through 

the Administrator of the Alcohol and 

Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), 

to consider within 240 days rulemaking 

updating TTB’s trade practice 

regulations, revising or rescinding any 

regulations that ‘‘unnecessarily inhibit 

competition,’’ and ‘‘reducing any 

barriers that impede market access for 

smaller and independent brewers, 

winemakers, and distilleries.’’ 

Consequently, to inform these efforts, 

we are seeking comment on these topics 

from participants in the beer, wine, and 

spirits markets, consumer groups, 

public interest groups, and interested 

private parties. 

Dated: July 23, 2021. 

Timothy E. Skud, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary (Tax, Trade, and 

Tariff Policy).

information by the agency. Under the

1995, Federal agencies are required to 

publish notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension of a currently approved 

collection, and allow 60 days for public 

comment in response to the notice. 

DATES: Written comments and 

recommendations on the proposed 

collection of information should be 

received on or before September 27, 

2021. 

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments 

on the collection of information through 

Federal Docket Management System

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Maribel Aponte, Office of Enterprise 

and Integration, Data Governance 

Analytics (008), 1717 H Street NW, 

Washington, DC 20006, (202) 266–4688 

or email maribel.aponte@va.gov. Please 

refer to ‘‘OMB Control No. 2900–0045’’ 

in any correspondence. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA of 1995, Federal agencies must 

obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. This request for comment is 

being made pursuant to Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, VBA invites 

comments on: (1) Whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of VBA’s 

functions, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of VBA’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

the use of other forms of information 

technology. 

Authority: Public Law 104–13; 44 

U.S.C. 3501–21. 

Title: VA Request for Determination of 

Reasonable Value (VA Forms 26–1805, 

and 26–1805–1). 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0045. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: VA utilizes Form 26–1805 

(paper form) and 26–1805–1 (digital 

form) for lenders to request an appraisal 

and assign an appraiser (i.e., ‘‘ordering’’ 

an appraisal), which ultimately provides 

the appraiser with the authority to be on 

the property to conduct the appraisal 

(i.e., an engagement letter). This 

information collection request seeks to 

expand this data collection clearance to 

encompass a modernized, end-to-end 

appraisal management process. Under 

this revised ICR, VA will not only 

capture information from lenders 

around when an appraisal has been 

ordered (current VA Form 26–1805), but 

will also capture information and 

workflow associated with the 

assignment, scheduling, and review of 

an appraisal by VA or a lender. This 

new process will be consistent with the 

rest of the mortgage industry, and will 

align VA’s appraisal process with the 

industry standard. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 585,000 

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 57 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: One-time. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

650,000.
