driver must undergo an annual physical 

examination (a) by an ophthalmologist 

or optometrist who attests that the 

vision in the better eye continues to 

meet the requirements in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(10), and (b) by a certified 

medical examiner (ME), as defined by 

§ 390.5, who attests that the driver is 

otherwise physically qualified under 

§ 391.41, (2) each driver must provide a 

copy of the ophthalmologist’s or 

optometrist’s report to the ME at the 

time of the annual medical examination, 

and (3) each driver must provide a copy 

of the annual medical certification to 

the employer for retention in the 

driver’s qualification file or keep a copy 

of his/her driver’s qualification if he/her 

is self-employed. The driver must also 

have a copy of the exemption when 

driving, for presentation to a duly 

authorized Federal, State, or local 

enforcement official. The exemption 

will be rescinded if: (1) The person fails 

to comply with the terms and 

conditions of the exemption, (2) the 

exemption has resulted in a lower level 

of safety than was maintained before it 

was granted, or (3) continuation of the 

exemption would not be consistent with 

the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 

31136(e) and 31315(b). 

VI. Preemption 

During the period the exemption is in 

effect, no State shall enforce any law or 

regulation that conflicts with this 

exemption with respect to a person 

operating under the exemption. 

VI. Conclusion 

Based upon its evaluation of the 102 

exemption applications, FMCSA renews 

the exemptions of the aforementioned 

drivers from the vision requirement in 

§ 391.41(b)(10), subject to the 

requirements cited above. In accordance 

with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), 

each exemption will be valid for two 

years unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.

II. Legal Basis 

FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b) to grant exemptions from 

certain parts of the Federal Motor 

Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). 

FMCSA must publish a notice of each 

exemption request in the Federal 

Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)). The 

Agency must provide the public an 

opportunity to inspect the information 

relevant to the application, including 

any safety analyses that have been 

conducted. The Agency must also 

provide an opportunity for public 

comment on the request. 

The Agency reviews safety analyses 

and public comments submitted and 

determines whether granting the 

exemption would likely achieve a level 

of safety equivalent to, or greater than, 

the level that would be achieved by the 

current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). 

The decision of the Agency must be 

published in the Federal Register (49 

CFR 381.315(b)) with the reasons for 

denying or granting the application and, 

if granted, the name of the person or 

class of persons receiving the 

exemption, and the regulatory provision 

from which the exemption is granted. 

The notice must also specify the 

effective period and explain the terms 

and conditions of the exemption. The 

exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 

381.300(b)). 

III. Background 

Under 49 CFR 381.315(a), FMCSA 

must publish a notice of each exemption 

request in the Federal Register. The 

Agency must provide the public with an 

opportunity to inspect the information 

relevant to the application, including 

any safety analyses that have been 

conducted. The Agency must also 

provide an opportunity for public 

comment on the request. 

The Agency reviews the safety 

analyses and the public comments and 

determines whether granting the 

exemption would likely achieve a level 

of safety equivalent to or greater than 

the level that would be achieved by the 

current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). 

The decision of the Agency must be 

published in the Federal Register (49 

CFR 381.315(b)). If the Agency denies 

the request, it must state the reason for 

doing so. If the decision is to grant the 

exemption, the notice must specify the 

person or class of persons receiving the 

exemption and the regulatory provision 

or provisions from which an exemption 

is granted. The notice must specify the 

effective period of the exemption (up to 

5 years) and explain the terms and

Inspection).’’ 

conditions of the exemption. The 

exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 

381.315(c) and 49 CFR 381.300(b)). 

IV. Complete Innovations’ Application 

for Exemption 

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations require devices meeting the 

definition of ‘‘vehicle safety 

technology,’’ including Complete 

Innovations’ Vision 2.0 device, to be 

mounted (1) not more than 4 inches 

below the upper edge of the area swept 

by the windshield wipers, or (2) not 

more than 7 inches above the lower 

edge of the area swept by the 

windshield wipers, and outside the 

driver’s sight lines to the road and 

highway signs and signals. Complete 

Innovations has applied for an 

exemption from 49 CFR 393.60(e)(1) to 

allow its Vision 2.0 device to be 

mounted lower in the windshield than 

is currently permitted. A copy of the 

application is included in the docket 

referenced at the beginning of this 

notice. 

V. Request for Comments 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b)(6), FMCSA requests public 

comment from all interested persons on 

Complete Innovations’ application for 

an exemption from 49 CFR 393.60(e)(1). 

All comments received before the close 

of business on the comment closing date

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket No. FRA–2021–0006–N–11] 

Proposed Agency Information 

Collection Activities; Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of information collection; 

request for comment. 

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its 

implementing regulations, this notice 

announces that FRA is forwarding the 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

abstracted below to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and comment. The ICR describes 

the information collection and its 

expected burden. On May 17, 2021, FRA 

published a notice providing a 60-day 

period for public comment on the ICR. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before 

September 27, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed ICR 

should be sent within 30 days of 

publication of this notice to 

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. 

Find the particular ICR by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Hodan Wells, Information Collection 

Clearance Officer at email: 

Hodan.Wells@dot.gov or telephone: 

(202) 493–0440. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 

44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its 

implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 

1320, require Federal agencies to issue 

two notices seeking public comment on 

information collection activities before 

OMB may approve paperwork packages. 

See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 

through 1320.12. On May 17, 2021, FRA 

published a 60-day notice in the Federal 

Register soliciting comment on the ICR 

for which it is now seeking OMB 

approval. See 86 FR 26770. FRA 

received no comments in response to 

this 60-day notice. 

Before OMB decides whether to 

approve the proposed collection of 

information, it must provide 30 days for 

public comment. Federal law requires 

OMB to approve or disapprove 

paperwork packages between 30 and 60 

days after the 30-day notice is 

published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)–(c); 5 CFR 

1320.10(b); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983 

(Aug. 29, 1995). OMB believes the 30- 

day notice informs the regulated 

community to file relevant comments 

and affords the agency adequate time to 

digest public comments before it 

renders a decision. 60 FR 44983 (Aug. 

29, 1995). Therefore, respondents 

should submit their respective 

comments to OMB within 30 days of 

publication to best ensure having their 

full effect. 

Comments are invited on the 

following ICR regarding: (1) Whether the 

information collection activities are 

necessary for FRA to properly execute 

its functions, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of 

the burden of the information collection 

activities, including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used to 

determine the estimates; (3) ways for 

FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information being 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of information collection 

activities on the public, including the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

The summary below describes the ICR 

that FRA will submit for OMB clearance 

as the PRA requires: 

Title: Inspection and Maintenance of 

Steam Locomotives.1

OMB Control Number: 2130–0505. 

Abstract: The Boiler Inspection Act of 

1911 required each railroad carrier 

subject to the Act to file copies of its 

rules and instructions for the inspection 

of locomotives. The original Act was 

expanded to cover all steam locomotives 

and tenders, and all their parts and 

appurtenances. As amended, this Act 

requires carriers to make inspections 

and to repair defects to ensure the safe 

operation of steam locomotives. 

Currently, the collection of information 

is used primarily by tourist or historic 

railroads and by locomotive owners/ 

operators to provide a record for each 

day a steam locomotive is placed in 

service, as well as a record that the 

required steam locomotive inspections 

are completed. The collection of 

information is also used by FRA and 

State rail safety inspectors to verify that 

necessary safety inspections and tests 

have been completed and to ensure that 

steam locomotives are indeed ‘‘safe and 

suitable’’ for service and are properly 

operated and maintained. 

Type of Request: Extension without 

change (with changes in estimates) of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses. 

Form(s): FRA–1, FRA–2, FRA–3, 

FRA–4, FRA–5, and FRA–19. 

Respondent Universe: 82 steam 

locomotive owners/operators. 

Frequency of Submission: On 

occasion; annually. 

Total Estimated Annual Responses: 

9,362. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden: 

1,357 hours.
