Background This proposed TSO prescribes the minimum standards for airborne equipment. It supports ADS–B using UAT equipment operating on the frequency of 978 MHz. ADS–B is a system by which aircraft and certain equipped surface vehicles can share position, velocity, and other information with one another (and with groundbased facilities such as air traffic services) via radio broadcast techniques. UAT is a multipurpose aeronautical datalink system to support not only ADS–B, but also Flight Information Service–Broadcast (FIS–B), Traffic Information Service–Broadcast (TIS–B), and supplementary ranging and positioning capabilities. This TSO supports two major classes of UAT equipment: Class A and Class B equipment. Class A equipment combines a broadcast and receive subsystem. Class B equipment supports broadcast only.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirement in section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), this notice announces the intention of the FMCSA to request the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) approval of a new information collection related to a study of how information technology is being used to improve safety management in the motor carrier industry. This study is one element in a larger, multi-year study of the safety and financial performance of the motor carrier industry by commodity segment. This Motor Carrier Industry Profile Study is being performed by the University of Maryland on behalf of the FMCSA. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before April 26, 2005.

Office hours are from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Motor Carrier Industry Profile. Background: The FMCSA is responsible for enhancing the safety of motor carrier operations and the nation’s highway system through fair, uniform and consistent enforcement of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and applicable Hazardous Materials Regulations, and through other innovative programmatic approaches. A complicating factor is the sheer size and diversity of the motor carrier industry, and a less than thorough understanding of its diversity. Detailed information about the safety performance differences among segments, and the practices, policies, and programs undertaken by safety leaders within each segment will assist FMCSA in its policy and program development and improve the safety of the industry. This project is being conducted on behalf of FMCSA through a cooperative agreement with the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business. This project is being conducted in three phases as follows: Phase 1 (now completed) involved three analyses of the motor carrier industry segmented into its major components. The first analysis consisted of developing financial and operating performance profiles for each of the 13 for-hire commodity segments (Refrigerated; Bulk Materials—Non Tank; Tank Carriers, Moving/Household Goods; Building Materials; Heavy Equipment, General Freight Truck-Load (subdivided into small, medium and large-sized carriers), General Freight Less-Than-Truck-Load, and Other Specialized (subdivided into small, medium and large-sized carriers). The second analysis evaluated detailed safety performance data for 10 commodity segments, including Building Materials, Moving/Household Goods, General Freight (TL and LTL), E:\FR\FM\25FEN1.SGM 25FEN1
