Open Meeting of the Financial Literacy and Education Commission, 46705 [E8-18414]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 155 / Monday, August 11, 2008 / Notices and equipment manufacturers for windshield wiper system coverage for passenger cars, multi-purpose passenger vehicles, trucks and buses. Greyhound states that video event recorders, for optimal effectiveness, are mounted on the vehicle windshield on the interior of the vehicle in a position that enables the video-capture of what is happening in front of the vehicle as well as an internal video-capture of the driver and passengers. The view of what is happening in front of the vehicle requires that the forward lens of the recorder be in the swept area of the windshield for a clear view in inclement weather. Greyhound states: ‘‘Section 393.60(e)(1) was designed to avoid placement of devices on the windshield that would obstruct a driver’s useful view of the roadway. However, because of the increase of the size of motorcoach windows and the corresponding increase in the area swept by the windshield wipers, video event recorders now must be mounted so high on the window as to limit the view of drivers, passengers, and collision events. Thus, the level of safety that can be produced by use of video event recorders is limited by the current regulation. By comparison, the proposed alternative will enable Greyhound to lower the placement of the video event recorders to a level, which will maximize the external and internal views of the recorders while still having them mounted high enough so as not to limit the field of vision of the driver.’’ rmajette on PRODPC74 with NOTICES Greyhound notes in its exemption application that the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) submitted a petition for rulemaking to FMCSA on October 18, 2007, to amend 49 CFR 393.60(e). The CVSA petition requests that the FMCSRs be amended to permit video event recorders and similar devices that require a clear forward facing visual field to be mounted not more than 50 mm (2 inches) below the upper edge of the area swept by the windshield wipers, provided that they are located outside the driver’s sight lines to the road and highway signs and signals. In its exemption application, Greyhound proposes to comply with the language proposed by the CVSA petition during the period of the exemption, if granted. A copy of the CVSA petition has been placed in the docket referenced at the beginning of this notice. Request for Comments In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e), FMCSA requests public comment from all interested persons on Greyhound’s application for an exemption from 49 CFR 393.116(a)(3). All comments received before the close of business on the comment closing date indicated at the beginning of this notice VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:22 Aug 08, 2008 Jkt 214001 will be considered and will be available for examination in the docket at the location listed under the ADDRESSES section of this notice. Comments received after the comment closing date will be filed in the public docket and will be considered to the extent practicable. In addition to late comments, FMCSA will also continue to file, in the public docket, relevant information that becomes available after the comment closing date. Interested persons should continue to examine the public docket for new material. Issued on: August 1, 2008. Larry W. Minor, Associate Administrator for Policy and Program Development. [FR Doc.
