SUMMARY: FMCSA requests public 

comment on an application for 

exemption submitted by ClevelandCliffs Steel, LLC (Cliffs), formerly 

known as ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor, 

LLC, to allow its employee-drivers with 

commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) 

who transport scrap metal on two trucks 

between their production and shipping 

locations on public roads to work up to 

16 hours per day and to return to work 

with less than the mandatory 10 

consecutive hours off duty. The 

exemption is similar to the exemption 

that allows Cliffs’ drivers transporting 

steel coils to work the same hours of 

services (HOS). Unlike the steel coil 

exemption, the scrap metal trucks 

would comply with the heavy hauler 

trailer definition, height of rear side 

marker lights restrictions, tire loading 

restrictions, and the coil securement 

requirements in the FMCSRs.

Privacy Act 

DOT solicits comments from the 

public to better inform its regulatory 

process, in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

553(c). 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—Federal Docket Management 

System), which can be reviewed at 

www.transportation.gov/privacy. 

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 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 

conditions of the exemption. The 

exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 

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

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 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
47710 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 163 / Thursday, August 26, 2021 / Notices 

is granted. The notice must specify the 

effective period of the exemption (up to 

5 years) and explain the terms and 

conditions of the exemption. The 

exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 

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

III. Cliff’s Application for Exemption 

Cliffs, formerly known as 

ArcelorMittal, requests an exemption to 

allow its employee-drivers with CDLs 

who transport scrap metal on two trucks 

between their production and shipping 

locations to work up to 16 hours per day 

and return to work with less than the 

mandatory 10 consecutive hours off 

duty. The request is similar to the 

exemption previously granted that 

allows Cliffs’ drivers transporting steel 

coils to work the same HOS, and travel 

the same distances and routes between 

their production and shipping locations. 

Unlike the steel coil exemption, the 

scrap trucks would comply with the 

definition of a ‘‘heavy hauler trailer’’ in 

49 CFR 393.5; the required ‘‘height of 

rear side marker lights restrictions’’ in 

49 CFR 393.11 Table1—Footnote 4; the 

‘‘tire loading restrictions’’ in 49 CFR 

393.75(f); and the ‘‘coil securement 

requirements’’ in 49 CFR 393.120. 

IV. Request for Comments 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b)(6), FMCSA requests public 

comment from all interested persons on 

Cliffs’ exemption request. The request 

was submitted as part of Cliffs’ 

exemption renewal application 

mentioned above. As a new request, 

however, it is subject to the separate 

notice and comment provided by this 

document. All comments received 

before the close of business on the 

comment closing date indicated at the 

beginning of this notice will be 

considered and will be available for 

examination in the docket at the 

location listed under the ADDRESSES

section of this notice. Comments 

received after the comment closing date 

will be filed in the public docket and 

will be considered to the extent 

practicable. In addition to late 

comments, FMCSA will also continue to 

file, in the public docket, relevant 

information that becomes available after 

the comment closing date. Interested 

persons should continue to examine the 

public docket for new material.
