II. What Action Is EPA Taking Today?
EPA is proposing to approve a
December, 19, 2003 request from
Michigan to revise the Southeast
Michigan CO maintenance plan. In a
separate Direct Final Rule in today’s
Federal Register, EPA is approving the
December 19, 2003 request. The
Southeast Michigan CO maintenance
area consists of portions of Oakland,
Macomb, and Wayne Counties. As a
result of today’s action, the 1996 base
year on-road emissions inventory,
forecast year 2010 emissions inventory,
and the 2010 MVEB will be updated to
meet EPA’s requirement to use the
Mobile6 emissions factor model to
determine conformity to the CO
maintenance SIP. By approving the
revision, EPA ensures that future
emission forecasts for conformity
analyses in the Southeast Michigan CO
maintenance area will be compared to
budgets that are based on similar inputs
and the same version of the Mobile
model.
III. Where Can I Find More Information
About This Proposal and the
Corresponding Direct Final Rule?
For additional information, see the
Direct Final Rule which is located in the
Rules section of this Federal Register.
Copies of the request and the EPA’s
analysis are available electronically at
RME or in hard copy at the above
address. (Please telephone Anthony
Maietta at (312) 353–8777 before
visiting the Region 5 Office.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 17, 2000, Congress enacted the
Children’s Health Act of 2000, Public
Law 106–310. Title X, section 1002, of
this law amended the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act by adding section
452G (42 U.S.C. 285g–10). Section 452G
directs the Director of the National
Institute of Child Health and Human
Development, after consultation with
the Administrator of the Health
Resources and Services Administration,
to support activities to provide for and
increase in the number and size of
institutional training grants to
institutions supporting pediatric
training. We propose to amend the

present regulations codified at 42 CFR
part 63a, National Institutes of Health
Training Grants, to implement this
pediatric research training grants
authority. More specifically, we propose
to amend part 63a to reference section
452G of the PHS Act in the authority
section and in paragraph (2) of § 63a.1
of the regulations, and update
information in unnumbered paragraphs
17 and 18 of § 63a.11.
The purpose of this notice is to invite
public comment on this proposed
action. We provide the following as
public information.
Executive Order 12866
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, requires that all
regulatory actions reflect consideration
of the costs and benefits they generate,
and that they meet certain standards,
such as avoiding the imposition of
unnecessary burdens on the affected
public. If a regulatory action is deemed
to fall within the scope of the definition
of the term ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ contained in section 3(f) of the
Order, prepublication review by the
Office of Management and Budget’s
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs (OIRA) is necessary. The OIRA
reviewed this proposed rule under
Executive Order 12866 and deemed it
not a significant regulatory action as
defined by the Executive Order.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. chapter 6) requires that
regulatory proposals be analyzed to
determine whether they create a
significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities. The Secretary
of Health and Human Services
(Secretary) certifies that any final rule
resulting from this proposed rule will
not have such impact.
Executive Order 13132
Executive Order 13132, Federalism,
requires that Federal agencies consult
with State and local government
officials in the development of
regulatory policies with federalism
implications. The Secretary reviewed
the proposed rule as required under the
Executive Order and determined that it
does not have federalism implications.
The Secretary certifies that this
proposed rule will not have an effect on
the States, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This proposed rule does not contain
information collection requirements
which are subject to Office of

Background
On May 3, 1999, the Federal Transit
Administration published a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking proposing to
amend its tripper service definition to
clarify that buses used in tripper service
may not carry destination signs such as
‘‘student’’ or any other marking
indicating that they are carrying school
children. Further, the rule would have
clarified that, as consistent with the
current regulation, these buses may only
stop at stops that are accessible to the
public and that are clearly marked as
available to the public. 64 FR 23590,
May 3, 1999.
Discussion of Comments on the NPRM
FTA received sixty comments on its
proposal to amend the definition of
tripper service.

RIN 2131–AA67
School Bus Operations; Amendment of
Tripper Service Definition
Federal Transit Administration
(FTA), DOT.
ACTION: Withdrawal of rulemaking.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This document withdraws the
rulemaking in which the Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) proposed to
amend its tripper service definition to
clarify which student transportation
operations are inconsistent with FTA
requirements. The rulemaking is being
withdrawn because after consideration
of the comments, FTA has concluded
that no regulatory clarification is
necessary.

Counsel, Federal Transit
Administration, (202) 366–1936 or (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Sfmt 4702
Three commenters expressed support
for FTA’s proposed amendment to the
tripper service definition. One
commenter suggested that destination
signs be permitted to inform the rider
where the bus route goes. Another
commenter was concerned that those
who opposed the changes were
confusing the issue of safety of school
children with the tripper service
definition. The commenter stated that
the issue of safety of school children on
public transportation is an important
one that merits its own separate
rulemaking. One other commenter
recommended that if FTA is not going
to eliminate tripper service, it should
ensure timely and aggressive
enforcement of the regulations.
Comments Opposing the Proposed
Changes
Stopping at Marked Public Stops
Twenty-three commenters objected to
the proposed amendment to the tripper
service definition that would clarify that
buses may stop only at stops that are
accessible to the public and that are
clearly marked as available to the
public. Although the law currently
prohibits stops on property that is not
accessible to the general public,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 17, 2000, Congress enacted the
Children's Health Act of 2000, Public Law 106-310. Title X, section
1002, of this law amended the Public Health Service (PHS) Act by adding
section 452G (42 U.S.C. 285g-10). Section 452G directs the Director of
the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, after
consultation with the Administrator of the Health Resources and
Services Administration, to support activities to provide for and
increase in the number and size of institutional training grants to
institutions supporting pediatric training. We propose to amend the
present regulations codified at 42 CFR part 63a, National Institutes of
Health Training Grants, to implement this pediatric research training
grants authority. More specifically, we propose to amend part 63a to
reference section 452G of the PHS Act in the authority section and in
paragraph (2) of Sec. 63a.1 of the regulations, and update information
in unnumbered paragraphs 17 and 18 of Sec. 63a.11.
The purpose of this notice is to invite public comment on this
proposed action. We provide the following as public information.
Executive Order 12866
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, requires
that all regulatory actions reflect consideration of the costs and

avoiding the imposition of unnecessary burdens on the affected public.
If a regulatory action is deemed to fall within the scope of the
definition of the term ``significant regulatory action'' contained in
section 3(f) of the Order, prepublication review by the Office of
Management and Budget's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
(OIRA) is necessary. The OIRA reviewed this proposed rule under
Executive Order 12866 and deemed it not a significant regulatory action
as defined by the Executive Order.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) requires that
regulatory proposals be analyzed to determine whether they create a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. The
Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) certifies that any

reviewed the proposed rule as required under the Executive Order and
determined that it does not have federalism implications. The Secretary
certifies that this proposed rule will not have an effect on the
