National Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council (NEMSAC); Notice of Federal Advisory Committee Meeting, 801-802 [2012-31691]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 3 / Friday, January 4, 2013 / Notices exemption would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with Basis for Renewing Exemptions Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no longer than two years from its approval date and may be renewed upon application for additional two year periods. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each of the 22 applicants has satisfied the entry conditions for obtaining an exemption from the vision requirements (75 FR 65057; 75 FR 72863; 75 FR 77492; 75 FR 79081; 76 FR 2190; 76–5425). Each of these 22 applicants has requested renewal of the exemption and has submitted evidence showing that the vision in the better eye continues to meet the requirement specified at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) and that the vision impairment is stable. In addition, a review of each record of safety while driving with the respective vision deficiencies over the past two years indicates each applicant continues to meet the vision exemption requirements. These factors provide an adequate basis for predicting each driver’s ability to continue to drive safely in interstate commerce. Therefore, FMCSA concludes that extending the exemption for each renewal applicant for a period of two years is likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing without the exemption. Request for Comments FMCSA will review comments received at any time concerning a particular driver’s safety record and determine if the continuation of the exemption is consistent with the requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315. However, FMCSA requests that interested parties with specific data concerning the safety records of these drivers submit comments by February 4, 2013. FMCSA believes that the requirements for a renewal of an exemption under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 can be satisfied by initially granting the renewal and then requesting and evaluating, if needed, subsequent comments submitted by interested parties. As indicated above, the Agency previously published notices of final disposition announcing its decision to exempt these 22 individuals from the vision requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The final decision to grant an exemption to each of these individuals was made on the merits of each case and made only after careful consideration of the comments received to its notices of applications. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:34 Jan 03, 2013 Jkt 229001 The notices of applications stated in detail the qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each applicant for an exemption from the vision requirements. That information is available by consulting the above cited Federal Register publications. Interested parties or organizations possessing information that would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the exemption of a driver.

(the Company), a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire from Gulf Colorado & San Saba Railway Company (the Seller), and to operate, approximately 67.5 miles of rail line between milepost 0.0 at Lometa, and milepost 67.5 at Brady, in Lampasas, Mills, San Saba and McCullouch Counties, Tex. (the Line).1 The Company states that the agreement between the Company and the Seller does not involve any provision or agreement that would limit future interchange with a third-party connecting carrier. The transaction is expected to be consummated on or about January 28, 2013. The earliest this transaction can be consummated is January 20, 2013, the effective date of the exemption. The Company certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of this transaction will not exceed those that would qualify it a Class III rail carrier and will not exceed $5 million. If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) may be filed at any time. The filing of a petition to revoke will not automatically stay the effectiveness of the exemption. Petitions to stay must be filed no later than January 14, 2012 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective). An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 35710, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW., Washington, DC 20423–0001.
