SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that FHWA and other 

Federal agencies have taken final agency 

actions by issuing approvals for the 

following highway project in the State 

of New York: Interstate 81 Viaduct 

Project, Onondaga County, New York. 

The purpose of the Project is to address 

structural deficiencies and non-standard 

highway features while creating an 

improved transportation corridor 

through the City of Syracuse that meets 

the transportation needs and provides 

the infrastructure to support long-range 

transportation planning efforts. 

The objectives of the Project are to: 

• Address the transportation network 

structural deficiencies, particularly 

associated with aging bridge structures 

and non-standard/non-conforming 

design features within the project limits 

along Interstate 81 and Interstate 690. 

• Address vehicular, pedestrian, and 

bicycle geometric and operational 

deficiencies within the project limits. 

• Maintain or enhance vehicle access 

to the interstate highway network and 

key destinations (i.e., business districts, 

hospitals, and institutions) within 

neighborhoods within and near 

Downtown Syracuse. 

• Maintain or enhance the vehicular, 

pedestrian, and bicycle connections in 

the local street network within the 

project limits in and near Downtown 

Syracuse to allow for connectivity 

between neighborhoods, business 

districts, and other key destinations. 

• Maintain access to existing local 

bus service and enhance transit 

amenities within the project limits in 

and near Downtown Syracuse. 

The actions by the Federal agencies, 

and the laws under which such actions 

were taken, are described in the FHWA 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(FEIS) for the project, signed April 4, 

2022, in the Record of Decision (ROD) 

for the project, issued on May 31, 2022, 

and in other documents in the FHWA 

administrative record. The FEIS, ROD,

request. 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.dot.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 22 individuals listed in this 

notice have requested an exemption 

from the hearing requirement in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(11). 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 

for drivers regarding hearing found in 

§ 391.41(b)(11) states that a person is 

physically qualified to drive a CMV if 

that person first perceives a forced 

whispered voice in the better ear at not 

less than 5 feet with or without the use 

of a hearing aid or, if tested by use of 

an audiometric device, does not have an 

average hearing loss in the better ear 

greater than 40 decibels at 500 Hz, 1,000 

Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a 

hearing aid when the audiometric 

device is calibrated to American 

National Standard (formerly ASA 

Standard) Z24.5—1951. 

This standard was adopted in 1970 

and was revised in 1971 to allow drivers 

to be qualified under this standard 

while wearing a hearing aid, 35 FR 

6458, 6463 (Apr. 22, 1970) and 36 FR 

12857 (July 3, 1971). 

On February 1, 2013, FMCSA 

announced in a Notice of Final 

Disposition titled, ‘‘Qualification of 

Drivers; Application for Exemptions; 

National Association of the Deaf,’’ (78 

FR 7479), its decision to grant requests 

from 40 individuals for exemptions 

from the Agency’s physical qualification 

standard concerning hearing for 

interstate CMV drivers. Since that time 

the Agency has published additional 

notices granting requests from hard of 

hearing and deaf individuals for 

exemptions from the Agency’s physical 

qualification standard concerning 

hearing for interstate CMV drivers.

Agency Information Collection Activity 

Under OMB Review: Ferry Programs 

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration, 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Emergency clearance notice and 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 

notice announces that the Information 

Collection Request (ICR) abstracted 

below has been forwarded to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) for 

emergency approval of a proposed 

information collection. DOT requests 

that OMB authorize this collection of 

information on or before June 15, 2022. 

Upon receiving the requested six-month 

emergency approval by OMB, DOT will 

follow the normal PRA procedures to 

obtain extended approval for this 

proposed information collection. The 

purpose of this collection is to enable 

public transportation providers, local 

governmental entities, States and 

federally recognized Tribes that operate 

a public ferry system to apply for grant 

assistance under the Passenger Ferry 

Grant Program, Electric or Low-Emitting 

Ferry Pilot Program and Ferry Service 

for Rural Communities. DOT is 

requesting emergency approval due to 

the urgency of making the associated 

funds available to public transportation 

providers, local governmental entities, 

States and federally recognized Tribes 

that meet the eligibility requirements 

under the law. The ICR describes the 

nature of the information collection and 

their expected burdens. 

DATES: Comments on this proposal for 

emergency review should be received 

within June 21, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 15 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. All comments received are 

part of the public record. Comments 

will generally be posted without change. 

Upon receiving the requested six–month 

emergency approval by OMB, FTA will 

follow the normal PRA procedures to 

obtain extended approval for this 

proposed information collection. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

ftaferryprograms@dot.gov, or call 

Vanessa Williams at (202)-366–4818. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FTA 

requests public comment on this 

information collection, including (a) 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden (including hours 

and cost); (c) ways for FTA to enhance 

the quality, utility and clarity of the 

information collection; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Comments submitted in 

response to this notice will be 

summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB approval of this 

information collection. The summaries 

below describe the nature of the 

information collection requirements 

(ICRs) and the expected burden. The 

requirements are being submitted for 

clearance by OMB as required by the 

PRA. 

Title: Passenger Ferry Grant Program, 

Electric or Low Emitting Ferry Pilot 

Program and Ferry Service for Rural 

Communities. 

OMB Control Number: 2132–New. 

Type of Request: Request for 

emergency approval of an information 

collection. 

Abstract: The Bipartisan 

Infrastructure Law, enacted as the 

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, 

established two new grant programs 

Electric or Low-Emitting Ferry Pilot 

Program (IIJA § 71102) and Ferry 

Service for Rural Communities (IIJA 

§ 71103). Funding for these two new 

programs will be announced in a joint 

Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) 

with FTA’s existing Passenger Ferry 

Grant Program (49 U.S.C. 5307(h)). The 

Passenger Ferry Grant Program provides 

competitive funding for projects that 

support passenger ferry systems in 

urbanized areas. The Electric or LowEmitting Ferry Pilot Program makes 

Federal funds available competitively to 

projects that support the purchase of 

electric or low-emitting ferry vessels. 

The Ferry Service for Rural 

Communities makes Federal funds 

available competitively to States and 

territories to ensure basic essential ferry 

service is provided to rural areas. FTA 

anticipates using an online, web-based 

grant management system to collect the 

following information: 

• Legal name of the applicant (i.e., 

the legal name of the business entity), as 

well as any other identities under which 

the applicant may be doing business. 

• Address, telephone, and email 

contact information for the applicant. 

• Legal authority under which the 

applicant is established. 

• Name and title of the authorized 

representative of the applicant (who 

will attest to the required certifications). 

• DOT may also require the identity 

of external parties involved in 

preparation of the application, 

including outside accountants, 

attorneys, or auditors who may be 

assisting the business entity that is 

applying for assistance under this 

program.
