Requested Administrative Waiver of the Coastwise Trade Laws, 31004 [2011-13076]

Download as PDF 31004 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 103 / Friday, May 27, 2011 / Notices jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES cases where a UZA crosses State lines. Additionally, in response to the comments about the increased workload, FTA will only require the FFA–10 Form to be filled out once, during the additional reporting period, and will not require an FFA–10 Form to be filled out reflecting the UZA definitions from the 2000 Census. FTA also hopes that its new policy on urbanized area allocations will provide greater flexibility to reporting transit agencies, and so will reduce the overall effort needed to complete the FFA–10 Form this year and in future years. FTA will also seek to follow the recommendation of the commenter to delay release of the form addenda until the Census makes detailed maps of the new UZA boundaries available in summer 2012. FTA will not, however, seek legislative relief from the requirement to use the new urbanized area definitions from the 2010 Census in the Fiscal Year 2013 apportionments. Many urbanized areas will show large increases of population in the 2010 Census, and will no doubt want to benefit from the 2010 Census data in the apportionment as quickly as possible. FTA does not wish to take sides among those that would benefit from a delay in the use of 2010 Census data, and those that would not. In the event that legislative change is sought by some of the commenters, and a legislative change is enacted into law, then FTA will of course modify its policy to accommodate the change in statute. Final Policy: Based on the comments received, FTA adopts the following policy for the 2011 Report Year: NTD Reports for the 2011 Report Year will be due according to the regular deadlines, except that the FFA–10 Form following the UZA definitions from the 2000 Census will not be required. Following the release of detailed maps from the Census Bureau of the new UZA definitions from the 2010 Census, FTA will notify all urbanized area NTD reporters to logon to the NTD Online Reporting System and resubmit their B– 10 Form identifying which of the new UZAs they serve and to submit a FFA– 10 Form reflecting the new UZA definitions. (h) Announcement of Suspension of Personal Security Reporting FTA also announced that it was suspending indefinitely the reporting of personal security events to the Safety & Security Module of the NTD, effective with the publication of the previous notice. Although FTA did not specifically request comments on this effort to reduce reporting burden, FTA VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:25 May 26, 2011 Jkt 223001 received comments from an industry association and two large transit agencies in support of this action. FTA Responds: FTA thanks the commenters. Issued in Washington, DC, this 24th day of May 2011. Peter Rogoff, Administrator.
