BILLING CODE 4910–59–P The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published a document in the Federal Register of June 21, 2010, announcing NHTSA’s determination that there were no new model year (MY) 2011 lightduty truck lines subject to the requirements of the Federal motor vehicle theft prevention standard. The final rule also identified those vehicle lines that had been granted an exemption from the parts-marking requirements for the 2011 model year and those vehicle lines the agency removed because certain vehicle lines had been discontinued more than 5 years ago. This document corrects certain information published in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section and Appendix A–I listing of the final rule. All previous information associated with the published notice remains the same.

Background The IAEA works with its Member States and multiple partners worldwide to promote safe, secure and peaceful nuclear technologies. The IAEA established and maintains an international standard, Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material (TS–R–1), to promote the safe and secure transportation of radioactive material. The IAEA periodically reviews, and as deemed appropriate, revises Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material to reflect new information and accumulated experience. The DOT is the U.S. competent authority before the IAEA for radioactive material transportation matters. The NRC provides technical support to the DOT in this regard, particularly with regard to Type B and fissile transportation packages. The IAEA is about to release for 120day Member State review a draft revision of TS–R–1 intended for publication in 2012. To assure opportunity for public involvement in the international regulatory development process, we are requesting E:\FR\FM\01JYN1.SGM 01JYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 126 / Thursday, July 1, 2010 / Notices input from the public on the proposed revisions to TS–R–1. Comments are being solicited only on the changes made between the published 2009 edition and the draft 2012 edition. The draft 2012 edition and the 2009 version are available online in the public docket for this notice. To assist in comparing these two documents, the IAEA has prepared a table in which the original text (2009, as published) is compared with the proposed text (draft 2012 edition); the table may also be found online in the public docket for this notice. A redline/strikeout version of the 2012 draft showing the changes from the 2009 version is also available in the docket.

ACTION: Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment and To request public scoping comments. SUMMARY: The FAA, with National Park Service (NPS) as a cooperating agency, has initiated development of an Air Tour Management Plan (ATMP) for Petrified Forest National Park (Petrified Forest), pursuant to the National Parks Air Tour Management Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106–181) and its implementing regulations (14 CFR Part 136, Subpart B, National Parks Air Tour Management). The objective of the ATMP is to develop acceptable and effective measures to mitigate or prevent the significant adverse impacts, if any, of commercial air tour operations on the natural resources, cultural resources, and visitor experiences of a national park unit and any Tribal lands within or abutting the park. It should be noted that the ATMP has no authorization over other non-airtour operations such as military and general aviation operations. In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and FAA Order 1050.1E, an Environmental Assessment (EA) is being prepared. In April 2010, the NPS and FAA held a two-day kickoff meeting at Petrified Forest; minutes may be found at: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/ projectHome.cfm?parkId=88 &projectId=30802. The purpose of the kickoff meeting was for the FAA and NPS to have the opportunity to share information regarding environmental and other issues to consider in the development of an ATMP. Materials presented at the meeting included information on: park resources; the acoustical environment at Petrified Forest; current and historical air tour operations; and representative air tour flight paths. In addition, PO 00000 Frm 00098 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 38169 Petrified Forest staff provided information regarding sensitive park resources, Tribal concerns, and tourism patterns. The FAA and NPS are now inviting the public, agencies, Tribes, and other interested parties to provide comments, suggestions, and input on the scope of issues to be addressed in the environmental process. DATES: By this notice, the FAA is requesting comments on the scope of the EA for the ATMP at Petrified Forest. Comments must be submitted by August 2, 2010.
