SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States and Jordan announced the establishment of the U.S.-Jordan Joint Forum on Environmental Technical Cooperation (Joint Forum) when they signed the U.S.-Jordan Joint Statement on Environmental Technical Cooperation (Joint Statement), on October 24, 2000, along with the U.S.Jordan FTA. The Joint Forum is to meet regularly and advance environmental protection in Jordan by developing environmental technical cooperation initiatives, which take into account environmental priorities, and which are agreed to by the two governments. In paragraph 4 of the Joint Statement, the countries identify an initial focus of technical cooperation on Jordanian environmental quality issues and the development and effective implementation of Jordanian environmental laws, as defined in Articles 5.4 and 18.2(a) of the U.S.Jordan FTA. The Joint Forum has met twice since 2000—in September 2004 and March 2009—and issued two plans for implementing the Joint Statement. The first—a Plan of Action—focused on implementing a strategic vision for Jordan’s Ministry of Environment, established in 2002, to promote sustainable economic growth and development. The plan outlined activities to, among other things, strengthen the Ministry’s capacity for setting, implementing, and ensuring compliance with environmental standards; harness market forces to protect the environment while bringing economic benefits; undertake industrial wastewater treatment and hazardous waste management for a target region; seek out economic benefits of ecotourism; and promote the development of a regional network of mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES DATES: VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:27 Feb 03, 2012 Jkt 226001 environmental lawmakers and enforcement officials. The second, a Work Program for 2008–2011, identifies long-term goals and specifies activities in four priority areas. The long-term goals are to achieve: (1) Compliance with obligations in Article 5 (Environment) of the U.S.-Jordan FTA; (2) improved protection and conservation of the environment, including natural resources; (3) transparency and meaningful public participation in environmental decision-making; and (4) a culture of environmental protection and compliance with environmental laws through, among other things, the promotion of economic opportunities, voluntary measures to enhance environmental performance, and job creation. The priority areas are: (1) Institutional and policy strengthening; (2) biodiversity conservation and improved management of protected areas; (3) improved private sector environmental performance; and (4) environmental education, transparency, and public participation in environmental decision-making and enforcement. For the 2012–2013 Work Program, we anticipate building upon the cooperative work initiated under the previous two plans. We are requesting suggestions that may be considered for inclusion in the next Work Program. Disclaimer: This Public Notice is a request for comments and suggestions, and is not a request for applications. No granting of money is directly associated with this request for suggestions for the Work Program. There is no expectation of resources or funding associated with any comments or suggestions for the Work Program. Dated: January 31, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: Title 49, United States Code Section 504(b)(2) provides the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) with authority to require carriers, lessors, associations, or classes of these entities to file annual, periodic, and special reports containing answers to questions asked by the Secretary. The Secretary may also prescribe the form of records required to be prepared or compiled and the time period during which records must be preserved (See § 504(b) (1) and (d)). The FMCSA will use this data to administer its safety programs by establishing a database of entities that are subject to its regulations. This database necessitates that these entities notify the FMCSA of their existence. For example, under 49 CFR 390.19(a), FMCSA requires all motor carriers beginning operations to file a Form MCS–150 entitled, Motor Carrier Identification Report.’’ This report is filed by all motor carriers conducting operations in interstate or international commerce before beginning operations. It asks the respondent to provide the name of the business entity that owns and controls the motor carrier operation, address and telephone of principal place of business, assigned identification number(s), type of operation, types of cargo usually transported, number of vehicles owned, term leased and trip leased, driver information, and certification statement signed by an individual authorized to sign documents on behalf of the business entity. The Department of Transportation (DOT) and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2002 (DOT Appropriations Act) (Pub. L. 107– 87, 115 Stat. 833) directed the agency to issue an interim final rule (IFR) to ensure that new entrant motor carriers are knowledgeable about the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and standards. PO 00000 Frm 00115 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5869 On June 30, 2004, the agency issued a final rule entitled, ‘‘Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations: Hazardous Materials Safety Permits,’’ (69 FR 39350) which required all HM carriers (both interstate and intrastate) to complete and file the Form MCS–150B entitled, ‘‘Combined Motor Carrier Identification Report and HM Permit Application,’’ to obtain a safety permit to transport hazardous materials. The safety program under 49 CFR 390.19(a) also requires all HM permitted carriers to complete Form MCS–150B in place of the current Form MCS–150 to ‘‘renew’’ both their permit and their DOT numbers according to the DOT number renewal schedule. On December 17, 2008, FMCSA issued a final rule entitled, ‘‘Requirements for Intermodal Equipment Providers and for Motor Carriers and Drivers Operating Intermodal Equipment,’’ (73 FR 76794) which required all intermodal equipment providers to complete Form MCS–150C entitled, ‘‘Intermodal Equipment Provider Identification Report’’ in order to register with the Agency and receive a USDOT number. FMCSA now regulates intermodal equipment providers and requires them to complete Form MCS–150C, instead of the current Form MCS–150. In addition, intermodal equipment providers must complete Form MCS–150C to update their USDOT number record according to the USDOT number update schedule in 49 CFR 390.19.

Administration, West Building 6th Floor, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: Title 49, United States Code 
Section 504(b)(2) provides the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) 
with authority to require carriers, lessors, associations, or classes 
of these entities to file annual, periodic, and special reports 
containing answers to questions asked by the Secretary. The Secretary 
may also prescribe the form of records required to be prepared or 
compiled and the time period during which records must be preserved 
(See Sec.  504(b) (1) and (d)). The FMCSA will use this data to 
administer its safety programs by establishing a database of entities 
that are subject to its regulations. This database necessitates that 
these entities notify the FMCSA of their existence. For example, under 
49 CFR 390.19(a), FMCSA requires all motor carriers beginning 
operations to file a Form MCS-150 entitled, Motor Carrier 
Identification Report.'' This report is filed by all motor carriers 
conducting operations in interstate or international commerce before 
beginning operations. It asks the respondent to provide the name of the 
business entity that owns and controls the motor carrier operation, 
address and telephone of principal place of business, assigned 
identification number(s), type of operation, types of cargo usually 
transported, number of vehicles owned, term leased and trip leased, 
driver information, and certification statement signed by an individual 
authorized to sign documents on behalf of the business entity.
    The Department of Transportation (DOT) and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2002 (DOT Appropriations Act) (Pub. 
L. 107-87, 115 Stat. 833) directed the agency to issue an interim final 
rule (IFR) to ensure that new entrant motor carriers are knowledgeable 
about the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and 
standards.
    On June 30, 2004, the agency issued a final rule entitled, 
``Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations: Hazardous Materials Safety 
Permits,'' (69 FR 39350) which required all HM carriers (both 
interstate and intrastate) to complete and file the Form MCS-150B 
entitled, ``Combined Motor Carrier Identification Report and HM Permit 
Application,'' to obtain a safety permit to transport hazardous 
materials. The safety program under 49 CFR 390.19(a) also requires all 
HM permitted carriers to complete Form MCS-150B in place of the current 
Form MCS-150 to ``renew'' both their permit and their DOT numbers 
according to the DOT number renewal schedule.
    On December 17, 2008, FMCSA issued a final rule entitled, 
``Requirements for Intermodal Equipment Providers and for Motor 
Carriers and Drivers Operating Intermodal Equipment,'' (73 FR 76794) 
which required all intermodal equipment providers to complete Form MCS-
150C entitled, ``Intermodal Equipment Provider Identification Report'' 
in order to register with the Agency and receive a USDOT number. FMCSA 
now regulates intermodal equipment providers and requires them to 
complete Form MCS-150C, instead of the current Form MCS-150. In 
addition, intermodal equipment providers must complete Form MCS-150C to 
update their USDOT number record according to the USDOT number update 
schedule in 49 CFR 390.19.

and 7.5 minutes for the biennial update. To complete Form MCS-150B (HM 
Permit Application), interstate carriers that have already completed 
the Form MCS-150 will need 6 minutes and intrastate carriers that have 
never completed a Form MCS-150 will need about 16 minutes and 5 minutes 
for the biennial update. Form MCS-150C--Intermodal Equipment Providers 
will need 20 minutes the first time they file this report and 7.5 
minutes for the biennial update.
