DOT’s Office of Inspector General 

recommended, in its audit report, 

entitled ‘‘Actions Needed to Minimize 

Long, On-Board Flight Delays,’’ issued 

on September 25, 2007, that the 

Secretary of Transportation establish a 

national task force of airlines, airports, 

and the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) to coordinate and 

develop contingency plans to deal with 

lengthy delays, such as working with 

carriers and airports to share facilities 

and make gates available in an 

emergency. To effectuate this 

recommendation, on January 3, 2008, 

the Department, consistent with the 

requirements of the FACA, established 

the National Task Force to Develop 

Model Contingency Plans to Deal with 

Lengthy Airline On-Board Ground 

Delays. The first meeting of the Task 

Force took place on February 26, 2008. 

This will be the fifth meeting of the task 

force. 

The agenda topics for the August 25, 

2008, meeting will include the 

following: (1) A final review and 

discussion of a draft model contingency 

plan for dealing with lengthy tarmac 

delays, developed by the Contingency 

Plan Working Group, the working group 

that is tasked with reviewing existing 

airline and airport contingency plans for 

extended tarmac delays for best 

practices and developing a model 

contingency plan; and (2) one or more 

presentations on recent tarmac delay 

events and efforts to avoid them. 

Attendance is open to the public, and 

time will be provided for comments by

Federal Motor Carrier Safety

[FMCSA–2008–0232] 

Commercial Driver’s License: 

Commonwealth of Virginia, 

Department of Motor Vehicles; 

Application for Exemption 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of application for 

exemption; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA has received an 

application from the Commonwealth of 

Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles 

(Virginia DMV) for an exemption from 

provisions of the Agency’s commercial 

driver’s license (CDL) requirement that 

each CDL issued by the State contain a 

color photograph of the driver. Virginia 

DMV proposes that it be allowed to use 

a black and white, laser-engraved 

photograph in lieu of a color 

photograph. Virginia DMV believes that 

the issuance of CDLs with laserengraved black and white photographs 

would enhance the security of the 

credential and assist law enforcement 

officials with the identification of the 

CDL holder. The FMCSA requests 

public comment on Virginia DMV’s 

application for exemption. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before September 4, 2008.
