Notice of Meeting of the Transit Rail Advisory Committee for Safety (TRACS), 16854-16855 [2011-7027]

Download as PDF 16854 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 58 / Friday, March 25, 2011 / Notices erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES 19, 2009, FMCSA published a notice granting a similar exemption to certain APA members for two 9-day periods during the 2009 and 2010 Independence Days (74 FR 29264). In each case, FMCSA found that the terms and conditions of the exemption would ensure that APA members’ operations were likely to achieve a level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety the operations would obtain in the absence of the exemption. Annually, the exemption has permitted approximately 3,000 CMV drivers employed by APA members to exclude off-duty and sleeper-berth time of any length from their calculations of compliance with the 14-hour provision following 10 consecutive hours off duty. For all operations not subject to the exemption, the drivers and motor carriers remain subject to the 11-hour driving time limit, the 60-hour (or 70hour) on-duty limit, and all other HOS rules. The exemption from 49 CFR 395.3(a)(2) has been limited to a roster of APA-member motor carriers, and to a period of 9 consecutive days each year. During these 9 days, driving outside of the 14-hour driving window would be allowed, provided the driver did not operate CMVs after accumulating 14 hours on duty. Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety (Advocates) June 5, 2009, Comments During the exemption renewal process in 2009, FMCSA’s June 19, 2009, notice did not acknowledge or respond to comments submitted by Advocates. Although Advocates timely filed its comments on June 5, 2009, prior to the June 8, 2009, deadline for responding to the Agency’s May 22, 2009, notices (74 FR 24066 and 74 FR 24069) those comments were not available at https://www.regulations.gov, the web site at which docket comments are posted, until June 10, 2009. By the time the personnel responsible for managing this web site for all Federal regulatory matters had posted Advocates’ comments to the electronic docket, FMCSA staff had prepared its draft notice of final disposition and submitted it to FMCSA’s senior leadership for approval. The notice of final disposition was subsequently issued on June 12, 2009, and published on June 19, 2009. FMCSA reviews all public comments as of the filing deadline for purposes of analyzing comments. However, as in this case, because of the time constraints for issuing a decision in time for the 2009 Independence Day Celebration, there was no review of Advocates’ comments posted at https:// www.regulations.gov two days after the VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:16 Mar 24, 2011 Jkt 223001 deadline. In consideration of the administrative delay in the posting of Advocates’ comments to the public docket, FMCSA now requests public comment on the safety impact of the exemption prior to consideration of any subsequent requests for renewal of the exemption. Interested parties may view the APA applications for the exemptions and the exemption renewals, the public comments the Agency received, including the Advocates comments dated June 5, 2009, and FMCSA’s Federal Register notices by following the instructions under the heading ‘‘Docket’’ above: For the 2005 exemption, please refer to Docket FMCSA–2005–21104, and for the 2007 and 2009 exemptions, refer to Dockets FMCSA–2007–28090 and FMCSA– 2007–28043, respectively. Request for Comments FMCSA requests public comment from all interested parties on the impact the exemptions have had on the safety performance of the drivers and carriers covered by the exemption. Interested parties are encouraged to submit any information concerning crashes and any fatalities, injuries and property damage associated with those crashes that occurred during the periods the exemptions were in place. FMCSA will review all comments received and consider them in the decision-making process should the APA apply for a renewal of the exemption. Issued on: March 21, 2011. Anne S. Ferro, Administrator.
