36200 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 15, 2022 / Notices 

Charlotte Douglas International Airport 

(CLT) submitted by the Sponsor meets 

the procedural requirements of the 

Federal Aviation Administration and 

the release of these properties does not 

and will not impact future aviation 

needs at the airport. The FAA may 

approve the request, in whole or in part, 

no sooner than thirty days after the 

publication of this notice. 

The request consists of the following: 

The City of Charlotte is proposing the 

release of airport property totaling 8.620 

acres. The 12-Parcels located along and 

in the vicinity of Walkers Ferry Road 

were originally acquired under the 

Storm Water Management Plan in 

connection with the third parallel 

runway. The parcels subject to this 

release are non-aeronautical in use. The 

Properties are currently being rezoned 

for industrial use. The industrial (I–2) 

designation means the property will be 

used/sold for general industrial 

purposes. Deed restrictions will subject 

the Properties to appropriate height and 

use restrictions and an avigation 

easement to ensure compatibility with 

the uses of the Airport nearby. The 

property is located to the west of 

Interstate 485 and The Charlotte 

Douglas International Airport, bordered 

on the south by Walkers Ferry Road. 

This request will release this property 

from federal obligations. This action is 

taken under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 

47107(h)(2). 

Any person may inspect the request 

in person at the FAA office listed above 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. 

In addition, any person may, upon 

request, inspect the request, notice and 

other documents germane to the request 

in person at the Charlotte Douglas 

International Airport.

II. Legal Basis 

FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 

31136(e) and 31315(b) to grant 

exemptions from 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 

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 Agency must publish its decision 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 

specify the effective period and explain 

the terms and conditions of the 

exemption. The exemption may be 

renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)). 

III. Applicant’s Request 

SBTC seeks an exemption from ‘‘49 

CFR 391.11(a) as it applies to 49 CFR 

391.11(b)(2)’’ on behalf of ‘‘all motor 

carriers in NAICS category 484230 

(Specialized Freight (except Used 

Goods) Trucking, Long-Distance) with 

revenues under $30 million, which are 

defined as ‘small businesses’ by the 

Small Business Administration.’’

exemption is available for review in the

comment from all interested persons on 

SBTC’s application for an exemption 

from the requirement in 49 CFR 

391.11(a) ‘‘as it relates to 49 CFR 

391.11(b)(2).’’ All comments received 

before the close of business on the

[Docket No. FMCSA–2020–0157] 

Hours of Service of Drivers: Pipe Line 

Contractors Association; Application 

for Exemption 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of final disposition; 

denial of application for exemption. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its 

decision to deny the exemption request 

from the Pipe Line Contractors 

Association (PLCA). The PLCA sought 

an exemption from certain hours-ofservice (HOS) regulations for drivers of 

a variety of commercial motor vehicles 

(CMVs) employed by its member 

companies. The PLCA specifically 

sought an exemption from (1) the 

requirement of the short-haul exception 

that drivers return to the work reporting 

location from which they started the 

day; (2) the requirement that drivers use 

electronic logging devices (ELDs) if they 

must complete a record of duty status 

(RODS) on more than 8 days in any 30- 

day period; and (3) the prohibition on 

driving after having been on duty for 70 

hours in 8 consecutive days. The PLCA 

also requested that CMV drivers used 

exclusively in the construction and 

servicing of pipelines be allowed the 

same HOS exceptions currently 

available for oilfield operations. FMCSA 

analyzed the exemption application and 

public comments, and determined that 

the application lacked evidence that 

would ensure a level of safety 

equivalent to, or greater than, the level 

that would be achieved absent such 

exemption.
