Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 24 / Friday, February 5, 2016 / Notices 6333 

the driver to safely operate a CMV while 

using insulin. 

Consequently, FMCSA finds that in 

each case exempting these applicants 

from the diabetes requirement in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(3) is likely to achieve a level 

of safety equal to that existing without 

the exemption. 

V. Conditions and Requirements 

The terms and conditions of the 

exemption will be provided to the 

applicants in the exemption document 

and they include the following: (1) That 

each individual submit a quarterly 

monitoring checklist completed by the 

treating endocrinologist as well as an 

annual checklist with a comprehensive 

medical evaluation; (2) that each 

individual reports within 2 business 

days of occurrence, all episodes of 

severe hypoglycemia, significant 

complications, or inability to manage 

diabetes; also, any involvement in an 

accident or any other adverse event in 

a CMV or personal vehicle, whether or 

not it is related to an episode of 

hypoglycemia; (3) that each individual 

provide a copy of the ophthalmologist’s 

or optometrist’s report to the medical 

examiner at the time of the annual 

medical examination; and (4) that each 

individual provide a copy of the annual 

medical certification to the employer for 

retention in the driver’s qualification 

file, or keep a copy in his/her driver’s 

qualification file if he/she is selfemployed. The driver must also have a 

copy of the certification when driving, 

for presentation to a duly authorized 

Federal, State, or local enforcement 

official. 

VI. Conclusion 

Based upon its evaluation of the 44 

exemption applications, FMCSA 

exempts the following drivers from the 

diabetes requirement in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(10), subject to the 

requirements cited above 949 CFR 

391.64(b)):

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) 

and 31315 each exemption is valid for 

two years unless revoked earlier by 

FMCSA. The exemption will be revoked 

if the following occurs: (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. If the exemption is 

still effective at the end of the 2-year 

period, the person may apply to FMCSA 

for a renewal under procedures in effect 

at that time. 

Issued on: January 19, 2016.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Transit Administration 

Notice To Rescind Notice of Intent To 

Prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement Virginia Beach Transit 

Extension Study, Virginia 

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration 

(FTA), DOT. 

ACTION: Rescind Notice of Intent (NOI) 

to prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS). 

SUMMARY: FTA in cooperation with 

Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) is issuing 

this notice to advise the public that the 

NOI to prepare an EIS for the Virginia 

Beach Transit Extension Study (VBTES) 

is being rescinded. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Ryan Long, Community Planner, 

Federal Transit Administration Region 

III, 1760 Market St, Suite 500 

Philadelphia, PA 19103, phone 215– 

656–7051, email ryan.long@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FTA, as 

the lead Federal agency, and HRT, as 

the project sponsor, published an NOI 

in the Federal Register on August 14, 

2013 (FR Volume 78, Number 157) to 

prepare an EIS for the VBTES. The 

VBTES EIS evaluated extending transit 

service from the eastern terminus of 

HRT’s existing Light Rail Transit (LRT) 

system, ‘‘The Tide,’’ at Newtown Road 

in Norfolk to the Virginia Beach 

oceanfront. The extension would travel 

either along the former Norfolk 

Southern Railroad right-of-way (NSRR 

ROW) that runs from Newtown Road to 

Birdneck Road, or along the NSRR ROW 

to Laskin Road then onto Birdneck Road 

and terminating at the Virginia Beach 

oceanfront. 

HRT was intending to seek Capital 

Investment Grant Program (CIG) funding 

from FTA for one or more of the 

alternatives that were examined in the 

Draft EIS. The CIG program, more 

commonly known as the New Starts, 

Small Starts, and Core Capacity 

program, involves a multi-year, multistep process that project sponsors must 

complete before a project is eligible for 

funding. The steps in the process and 

the basic requirements of the program 

can be found on FTA’s Web site at 

www.fta.dot.gov. 

Since FTA approval of the Draft EIS 

on March 3, 2015, HRT has re-examined 

funding options and elected to not 

pursue the CIG program or other Federal 

transportation funding. Therefore, FTA 

is rescinding the August 14, 2013 NOI. 

Comments and questions concerning 

this notice should be directed to FTA at 

the address provided above.

Regional Administrator, FTA Region III.
