Privacy Act 

DOT solicits comments from the 

public to better inform its regulatory 

processes, in accordance with statute 49 

U.S.C. 31315(b)(6)(A). 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)). 

KeepTruckin’s Application for 

Exemption 

The FMCSRs require devices meeting 

the definition of ‘‘vehicle safety 

technology’’ 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. KeepTruckin 

has applied for an exemption from 49 

CFR 393.60(e)(1) to allow its AI 

Dashcam system, which is equipped 

with camera(s) and safety technologies, 

to be mounted lower in the windshield 

than is currently permitted. A copy of 

the exemption application is included 

in the docket referenced at the 

beginning of this notice. 

Request for Comments 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31315(b)(6), FMCSA requests public 

comment from all interested persons on 

KeepTruckin’s application for an 

exemption. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval No. 2138–0009. 

Title: Report of Financial and 

Operating Statistics for Small Aircraft 

Operators. 

Form No.: BTS Form 298–C. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection for the 

financial data. 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Notices 52739 

Respondents: Small certificated (22) 

and commuter air carriers (41). 

Schedule F1: 

Number of Respondents: 63. 

Number of Annual responses: 252. 

Total Burden per Response: 4 hours. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,008 hours. 

Schedule F2: 

Number of Respondents: 22. 

Number of Annual responses: 88. 

Total Burden per Response: 12 hours. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,056 hours. 

Needs and Uses: Program uses for 

Form 298–C financial data are as 

follows: 

Mail Rates 

The Department of Transportation 

sets and updates the Intra-Alaska Bush 

mail rates based on carrier aircraft 

operating expense, traffic, and 

operational data. Form 298–C cost data, 

especially fuel costs, terminal expenses, 

and line haul expenses are used in 

arriving at rate levels. DOT revises the 

established rates based on the 

percentage of unit cost changes in the 

carriers’ operations. These updating 

procedures have resulted in the carriers 

receiving rates of compensation that 

more closely parallel their costs of 

providing mail service and contribute to 

the carriers’ economic well-being. 

Essential Air Service 

DOT often has to select a carrier to 

provide a community’s essential air 

service. The selection criteria include 

historic presence in the community, 

reliability of service, financial stability, 

and cost structure of the air carrier. 

Carrier Fitness 

Fitness determinations are made for 

both new entrants and established U.S. 

domestic carriers proposing a 

substantial change in operations. A 

portion of these applications consists of 

an operating plan for the first year (14 

CFR part 204) and an associated 

projection of revenues and expenses. 

The carrier’s operating costs, included 

in these projections, are compared 

against the cost data in Form 298–C for 

a carrier or carriers with the same 

aircraft type and similar operating 

characteristics. Such a review validates 

the reasonableness of the carrier’s 

operating plan. 

The quarterly financial submissions 

by commuter and small certificated air 

carriers are used in determining each 

carrier’s continuing fitness to operate. 

Section 41738 of Title 49 of the United 

States Code requires DOT to find all 

commuter and small certificated air 

carriers fit, willing, and able to conduct 

passenger service as a prerequisite to 

providing such service to an eligible 

essential air service point. In making a 

fitness determination, DOT reviews 

three areas of a carrier’s operation: (1) 

The qualifications of its management 

team, (2) its disposition to comply with 

laws and regulations, and (3) its 

financial posture. DOT must determine 

whether or not a carrier has sufficient 

financial resources to conduct its 

operations without imposing undue risk 

on the traveling public. Moreover, once 

a carrier begins conducting flight 

operations, DOT is required to monitor 

its continuing fitness. 

Senior DOT officials must be kept 

fully informed and advised of all 

current and developing economic issues 

affecting the airline industry. In 

preparing financial condition reports or 

status reports on a particular airline, 

financial and traffic data are analyzed. 

Briefing papers prepared for senior DOT 

officials may use the same information. 

The Confidential Information 

Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act 

of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501 note), requires 

a statistical agency to clearly identify 

information it collects for non-statistical 

purposes. BTS hereby notifies the 

respondents and the public that BTS 

uses the information it collects under 

this OMB approval for non-statistical 

purposes including, but not limited to, 

publication of both Respondent’s 

identity and its data, submission of the 

information to agencies outside BTS for 

review, analysis and possible use in 

regulatory and other administrative 

matters. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on June 3, 2021.
