the level that would be achieved by the 

current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). 

The decision of the Agency must be 

published 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 also specify the 

effective period and explain the terms 

and conditions of the exemption. The 

exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 

381.300(b)). 

III. Request for Exemption 

HGT reports that it is an interstate 

motor carrier based in Oak Brook, 

Illinois with 23 terminal locations 

throughout the United States. HGT 

operates 2,700 trucks and utilizes 

approximately 2,700 drivers. The vast 

majority of HGT’s trucks service the 

intermodal sector of freight 

transportation. All of HGT’s trucks are 

currently equipped with AOBRDs and 

the entire fleet has been AOBRD 

compliant since late 2010. 

The current ELD rule under section 49 

CFR 395.15 includes a grandfather 

provision for a compliant AOBRD that 

a motor carrier installs and requires its 

drivers to use before the compliance 

date of December 18, 2017. A motor 

carrier may continue to use 

grandfathered AOBRDs no later than 

December 16, 2019. 

HGT is requesting a limited 

exemption from the ELD rule to allow 

any truck added to its fleet after 

December 17, 2017, to be equipped with 

an AOBRD in lieu of an ELD until full 

transition to ELDs for all of its fleets can 

be accomplished. HGT reports that the 

company plans to add at least 160 new 

trucks and drivers to its fleet in 2018 to 

accommodate growth in its business. If 

the exemption is granted, it would cover 

these new trucks and drivers. 

HGT contends that the company will 

face several challenges running two 

different electronic logging systems at 

the same time if the exemption is not 

granted. Challenges such as the 

complexity of managing the data in the 

back office, and more importantly, 

complexities in training and managing 

drivers and staff likely to use both 

systems. 

According to HGT, with two systems, 

a company its size will create some 

roadside inspection enforcement-related 

challenges for the driver, enforcement 

officials involved, and for HGT’s safety 

compliance staff. HGT further contends 

that it faces the expense of updating a 

legacy database to fully populate the 

new ELD header. HGT’s InfoTrak 

database currently does not contain at 

least three data elements that must be 

included in the new ELD ‘‘print/display 

daily header.’’ Data elements include 

the driver’s name, the driver’s license 

State, and the truck number. HGT 

reports that it recently spent substantial 

resources to migrate to a new system 

that will contain all of the data fields 

and information needed to autopopulate the required ELD header. 

Without the exemption, HGT will be 

forced to spend a great deal of time and 

money to reprogram its legacy system to 

ensure compliance for the time between 

December 18, 2017, and the time in 

2018 when HGT implements its new 

system and fully transitions to ELDs 

network-wide. 

According to HGT, its AOBRDcompliant approach between December 

18, 2017, and its full transition to ELDs 

by the end of 2018, will achieve a level 

of safety that is at least equivalent to the 

level of safety that would be obtained by 

strict compliance with a mixed 

AORBD–ELD fleet. The requested 

exemption is for two years. 

A copy of HGT’s application for 

exemption is available for review in the 

docket for this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2105–0568. 

Title: Renewal of Aviation Consumer 

Protection Division Web page On-Line 

Complaint Form. 

Abstract: The Department of 

Transportation’s (Department) Office of 

the Assistant General Counsel for 

Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings 

(Enforcement Office) has broad 

authority under 49 U.S.C., Subtitle VII, 

to investigate and enforce consumer 

protection and civil rights laws and 

regulations related to air transportation. 

The Enforcement Office, including its 

Aviation Consumer Protection Division 

(ACPD), monitors compliance with and 

investigates violations of the 

Department of Transportation’s aviation 

economic, consumer protection, and 

civil rights requirements. 

Among other things, the licensing 

office is responsible for receiving and 

investigating service-related consumer 

complaints filed against airlines and 

other travel-related companies. Once 

received, the complaints are reviewed 

by the office to determine the extent to 

which these entities are in compliance 

with federal aviation consumer 

protection and civil rights laws and 

what, if any, action should be taken. 

The key reason for this request is to 

enable consumers to continue to file 

their complaints (or comments) to the 

Department using an on-line form, 

whether via their personal computer or 

on a mobile/electronic device. If the 

information collection form is not 

available, the Department may receive 

fewer complaints from consumers. The 

lack of consumer-driven information 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
50484 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 31, 2017 / Notices 

could inhibit the office’s ability to 

effectively investigate both individual 

complaints against airlines and other air 

travel-related companies. It would also 

impact the Department’s Enforcement 

Office’s ability to become aware of 

patterns and practices that may develop 

in violation of our rules. The 

information collection continues to 

further the objectives of 49 U.S.C. 

41712, 40101, 40127, 41702, and 41705 

to protect consumers from unfair or 

deceptive practices, to protect the civil 

rights of air travelers, and to ensure safe 

and adequate service in air 

transportation. 

Filing a complaint using a web-based 

form is voluntary and minimizes the 

burden on respondents. Based on CY16 

information, 17,162 of the 17,909 cases 

received by ACPD were filed using the 

web-based form (95.8%). At times, 

consumers may also choose to file a 

complaint with the Department using 

regular mail or by phone message. The 

type of information requested on the 

form includes complainant’s name, 

address, phone number (including area 

code), email address, and name of the 

airline or company about which she/he 

is complaining, as well as the flight date 

and flight itinerary (where applicable) of 

a complainant’s trip. A consumer may 

also use the form to give a description 

of a specific air-travel related problem 

or to ask for air-travel related 

information from the ACPD. The 

Department has limited its 

informational request to that necessary 

to meet its program and administrative 

monitoring and enforcement activities. 

Respondents: Consumers that Choose 

to File an On-Line Complaint with the 

Aviation Consumer Protection Division. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

17,162 (based on CY 2016 data). 

Estimated Total Burden on 

Respondents: 4,290.5 hours, (257,430 

minutes). The estimate was calculated 

by multiplying the number of cases filed 

using the on-line form in CY16 (17,162) 

by the time needed to fill out the on-line 

form (15 minutes). 

The information collection is 

available for inspection in 

regulations.gov, as noted in the 

ADDRESSES section of his document. 

Comments are Invited on: (a) Whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimate of the burden 

of the proposed information collection; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record on 

the docket. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended; 

and 49 CFR 1:48.
