SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 8, 2009, the five industry representatives on the Board of Directors of the Unified Carrier Registration Agreement sent a request on behalf of themselves and their respective organizations including the American Trucking Associations, the National Private Trucking Council, the Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association, the Transportation Intermediaries Association, and Walmart for an extension of the comment period in the subject rulemaking proceeding. Requests for extension of time to comment in a rulemaking proceeding PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 47911 before FMCSA are governed by the provisions of 49 CFR 389.19. Extensions require a showing of good cause, and are granted if consistent with the public interest. Petitioners contend that the agency is required to provide an extension because of the provisions of Executive Order No. 12866, 58 FR 51733 (Oct. 4, 1993), as amended by Executive Order No. 13258, 67 FR 9383 (Feb. 28, 2002). Section 6 of E.O. 12866 provides that: Each agency shall (consistent with its own rules, regulations, or procedures) provide the public with meaningful participation in the regulatory process. In particular, before issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking, each agency should, where appropriate, seek the involvement of those who are intended to benefit from and those expected to be burdened by any regulation (including, specifically, State, local, and tribal officials). In addition, each agency should afford the public a meaningful opportunity to comment on any proposed regulation, which in most cases should include a comment period of not less than 60 days. In this matter, after the Board submitted its initial proposal for an adjustment of the UCR fees on April 3, 2009, FMCSA’s designated member of the Board responded by conducting a telephone conference on April 23 with the Board’s chairman and the chairman of Board’s revenue and fees subcommittee to discuss several issues presented by the proposal. Those issues were explained in more detail in a written set of questions to the Board transmitted immediately after the conference. Over the next few months, in the course of public meetings of the board of directors in May 14, June 16 and 17, and July 9, the issues raised by FMCSA were discussed. At its June meeting, the Board voted by a majority to reconsider the proposal submitted on April 3. The revenue and fees subcommittee of the Board, which has members from the motor carrier industry, met thereafter to consider alternative proposals that might address the issues raised by FMCSA. Two such proposals to replace the April 3 proposal were put to a vote by the Board at its meeting on July 9; both proposals failed to be adopted because of a tie vote among the members of the Board present and voting. On July 15, the Board submitted a letter advising the agency of these facts and, in effect, requesting FMCSA to proceed with the rulemaking proceeding contemplated by 49 U.S.C. 14504a(d)(7). As indicated in that letter, the Board and FMCSA both consider that the 90-day statutory time period for completion of the proceeding commenced on July 15. Petitioners’ E:\FR\FM\18SEP1.SGM 18SEP1
