(d) Compliance 

You are responsible for performing each 

action required by this AD within the 

specified compliance time unless it has 

already been accomplished prior to that time. 

(e) Required Actions 

(1) Within 130 hours time-in-service (TIS): 

(i) Measure resistance of each engine CPT 

and replace the CPT if the measured 

resistance is not within tolerance by 

following the Accomplishment Instructions, 

paragraphs 3.C.(1) through 3.C.(8)(b), of 

Sikorsky S–76 Helicopter Alert Service 

Bulletin ASB 76–73–8, Revision A, dated 

December 4, 2015 (ASB 76–73–8A), except 

you are not required to use Sikorsky’s CPT 

data sheet or submit a data sheet to Sikorsky. 

(ii) Measure the linearity resistance 

movement of each engine CPT and replace 

the CPT if there is a linear abnormality or 

change in resistance that is not within 

tolerance by following the Accomplishment 

Instructions, paragraphs 3.D.(1) through 

D.(14)(b), of ASB 76–73–8A, except you are

for the safe use of GLA safflower oil as 

a source of omega-6 fatty acids in dry

The petitioner has claimed that this 

action is categorically excluded under 

21 CFR 25.32(r) because it is of a type 

that does not individually or 

cumulatively have a significant effect on 

the human environment. In addition, 

the petitioner has stated that to their 

knowledge, no extraordinary 

circumstances exist. If FDA determines 

a categorical exclusion applies, neither 

an environmental assessment nor an 

environmental impact statement is 

required. If FDA determines a 

categorical exclusion does not apply, we 

will request an environmental 

assessment and make it available for 

public inspection.

Background 

Federal laws and regulations 

pertaining to vehicles that are classified 

as automobile transporters, and 

providing for a minimum vehicle length 

and allowable overhang lengths for 

these configurations, support the safe 

and efficient movement of autos by 

truck through States and across State 

lines. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

31111(a)(1) and 23 CFR 658.5, the term 

‘‘automobile transporter’’ means any 

vehicle combination designed and used 

for the transport of assembled highway 

vehicles, including truck camper units. 

Federal regulations classify automobile 

transporters as specialized equipment 

and identify three possible 

configurations of automobile 

transporters: Traditional, ‘‘low boys,’’ 

and stinger steered. 23 CFR 

658.13(e)(1)(i). As provided in 23 CFR 

658.13(e), and in the definition of a 

‘‘Tractor or Truck Tractor’’ at 23 CFR 

658.5, automobile transporters may 

carry vehicles on the power unit behind 

the cab and on an over-cab rack. 

If a vehicle is classified as an 

automobile transporter, no State shall 

impose an overall length limitation of 

less than 65 feet on traditional 

automobile transporters, including ‘‘low 

boys,’’ or less than 80 feet on stingersteered automobile transporters. 49 

U.S.C. 31111(b)(1)(G). All length 

provisions regarding automobile 

transporters are exclusive of front and 

rear cargo overhang. For traditional 

automobile transporters, no State shall 

impose a front overhang limitation of 

less than 3 feet or a rear overhang 

limitation of less than 4 feet. 23 CFR 

658.13(e)(1)(ii). For stinger-steered 

automobile transporters, no State shall 

impose a front overhang limitation of 

less than 4 feet or a rear overhang 

limitation of less than 6 feet. 49 U.S.C. 

31111(b)(1)(G). 

Other truck tractor-semitrailer 

combinations (not specifically defined 

as automobile transporters) are subject 

to the length provisions of 23 CFR 

658.13(c). Under this regulatory 

provision, States determine the 

maximum length limits for semitrailers 

operating in a truck tractor-semitrailer 

combination; but no State shall prohibit 

the use of trailers or semitrailers of such 

dimensions as those that were in actual 

and lawful use in such State on 

December 1, 1982, as set out in 

appendix B to 23 CFR 658. 

It is a longstanding FHWA policy 

position, established through guidance, 

that to qualify as an automobile 

transporter as defined in 49 U.S.C. 

31111(a)(1) and be treated as specialized 

equipment as described in 23 CFR 

658.13(e)(1)(i), both traditional and 

stinger-steered automobile transporter 

combinations must be capable of 

carrying cargo on the power unit/tractor. 

Because a truck-tractor in high-mount, 

truck-tractor-semitrailer combination is 

not capable of carrying vehicles on the 

power unit, FHWA’s current policy 

interpretation is that such a vehicle 

combination may not be considered an 

automobile transporter subject to the 

length allowances in 23 CFR 

658.13(e)(1)(ii). 

In response to the recent inquiries, 

FHWA has considered the definitions 

and length provisions that apply to 

automobile transporters and language in 

the Surface Transportation Act of 1982 

section 411(f), which states ‘‘a tractor 

and semitrailer engaged in the 

transportation of automobiles may 

transport motor vehicles on part of the 

power unit,’’ and finds that it may be 

within the Department’s current 

legislative authority to interpret this 

language to include auto transporter 

combinations that are not capable of 

carrying vehicles on the power unit, 

such as a high-mount, truck-tractorsemitrailer combination, without 

additional action from Congress.
