Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 83 / Tuesday, April 30, 2013 / Notices
In addition to the legislative history,
the regulatory history of the Deepwater
Ports program provides further support
for interpreting the DWPA to apply
nautical miles to ACS designations. The
original Final Rule in 33 CFR part 148
published on November 10, 1975,
defined mile for the purposes of the
regulations as a nautical mile.25
Although the definition for ‘‘mile’’ was
subsequently removed in a May 20,
2003 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
and did not appear in the Final Rule
published on September 29, 2006, 33
CFR part 2 indicates that nautical miles
are the appropriate units of
measurement to be employed for
determining United States Coast Guard
jurisdictional definitions where such
jurisdictional definitions are not
otherwise provided.26
Discussion of Comments
MarAd published a Notice of
Proposed Policy Clarification on
Tuesday, March 5, 2013 (78 FR 14411).
Interested persons were invited to
submit comments on the proposed
policy clarification by April 4, 2013.
MarAd received one comment. The
comment and MarAd’s response is set
forth in the following paragraph.
Clean Ocean Action, a coalition of
diverse groups interested in improving
the water quality of the New Jersey and
New York coastal marine environment
offered their support of the agency’s
analysis stating,
Clearly, the MARAD analysis of the
Congressional Record, international law, and
related domestic U.S. law properly led to the
conclusion that ‘‘miles’’, for the purposes of
Deepwater Ports, means nautical miles.
MarAd values Clean Ocean Action’s
input.
Accordingly, as a result of its
interpretation of the DWPA, its
legislative history, and implementing
regulations, MarAd will apply nautical
miles when designating ACS in future

previously opened a docket for a 60-day
comment period. Based upon comment
to the docket, NHTSA modified its
research plan. This notice announces
that the ICR abstracted below has been
forwarded to OMB for review and
comment. The ICR describes the nature
of the information collection and the
expected burden. This is a request for
new collection.
Title: Advanced Crash Avoidance
Technologies Consumer Research.
OMB Control Number: 2127–XXXX.
Form Number: None.
Type of Request: New collection.
Affected Public: For the focus group
phase of this collection, NHTSA plans
to conduct a total of 9 focus groups,
each lasting approximately two hours.
In each group, 8 participants will be
seated. Therefore, a total of 72 people
will participate in the group sessions.
For recruiting of these participants,
however, a total of 108 potential
participants (12 per group) will be
recruited via telephone screening calls,
which are estimated to take 10 minutes
per call. Based on experience, it is
prudent to recruit up to 12 people per
group in order to ensure at least 8 will
appear at the focus group facility at the
appointed time.
Thus, the total burden per person
actually participating in this focus
group phase of research is estimated to
be 130 minutes (10 minutes for the
screening/recruiting telephone call plus
120 minutes in the focus group
discussion session). Additionally, the
total burden per person recruited (but
not participating in the discussions) is
10 minutes. Therefore, the total annual
estimated burden imposed by this
portion of the collection is
approximately 162 hours.
NHTSA also plans to conduct eight
30-minute dealer interviews.
Accounting for recruiting and
interviewing time, the total annual
estimated burden imposed by this
portion of the collection is
approximately 8 hours.
In total, the annual estimated burden
imposed by this collection of
information is approximately 170 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 170
hours.
Number of Respondents: 80.
Abstract: The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
was established by the Highway Safety
Act of 1970 (23 U.S.C. 101) to carry out
a Congressional mandate to reduce the
mounting number of deaths, injuries,
and economic losses resulting from
motor vehicle crashes on the Nation’s
highways. In support of this mission,
NHTSA proposes to conduct a limited
number of focus group sessions and in-

depth interviews with members of the
general public to help inform future
revisions to the Monroney label and
guide the development of a consumer
education program. In addition, this
consumer research will help to ensure
that various advanced crash avoidance
technologies the agency promotes are
important and usable to consumers, and
the information provided leads to
consumer understanding of the benefits
of these technologies.
In this collection of information,
NHTSA is seeking approval to conduct
qualitative consumer research and indepth interviews to test consumer
familiarity and understanding of
advanced crash avoidance technology
systems so that labeling and consumer
materials will help consumers make
informed vehicle purchase decisions.
Specifically, this research will be
guided by the following objectives:
(i) Explore consumer familiarity with
and understanding of advanced crash
avoidance technologies;
(ii) Explore potential nomenclature
and rating systems that can be used to
communicate information about
advanced crash avoidance technologies;
(iii) Guide considerations for design
modifications of current New Car
Assessment Program Government 5-Star
Safety Ratings label to include
information about advanced crash
avoidance technologies;
(iv) Guide the development of a
consumer information program to
improve awareness and understanding
of advanced crash avoidance
technologies.
On January 11, 2013, NHTSA
published the 60-day notice requesting
public comment on the proposed
collection of information to the Federal
Register on January 11, 2013. One
comment was received from Agero, Inc,
which expressed support for this
research plan. Specifically, Agero
requested NHTSA explore technologies
such as advanced automatic crash
notification and other technologies to
determine how best to provide
consumers with meaningful, useful
information. They have also requested
exploring standard nomenclature,
communication channels and the
potential impact that including
technologies on the Monroney Label has
on a consumer’s likelihood to seek more
information—all of which are goals for
the focus group research.

Title: Preservation of Air carrier
Records—14 CFR Part 249

Respondents: Certificated air carriers
and charter operators

Number of Respondents: 90
certificated air carriers and 300 charter
operators.
Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours
per certificated air carrier; 1 hour per
charter operator.
Total Annual Burden: 570 hours.
Needs and Uses: Part 249 requires the
retention of records such as: general and
subsidiary ledgers, journals and journal
vouchers, voucher distribution registers,
accounts receivable and payable
journals and legers, subsidy records
documenting underlying financial and
statistical reports to DOT, funds reports,
consumer records, sales reports,
auditors’ and flight coupons, air
waybills, etc. Depending on the nature
of the document, the carrier may be
required to retain the document for a
period of 30 days to 3 years. Public
charter operators and overseas military
personnel charter operators must retain
documents which evidence or reflect
deposits made by each charter
participant and commissions received
by, paid to, or deducted by travel agents,
and all statements, invoices, bills and
receipts from suppliers or furnishers of
goods and services in connection with
the tour or charter. These records are
retained for 6 months after completion
of the charter program.
Not only is it imperative that carriers
and charter operators retain source
documentation, but it is critical that we
ensure that DOT has access to these
records. Given DOT’s established
information needs for such reports, the
underlying support documentation must
be retained for a reasonable period of
time. Absent the retention requirements,
the support for such reports may or may
not exist for audit/validation purposes
and the relevance and usefulness of the
carrier submissions would be impaired,
since the data could not be verified to
the source on a test basis.
The Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2002 (44 USC 3501 note), requires a
statistical agency to clearly identify
information it collects for non-statistical
purposes. BTS hereby notifies the
respondents and the public that BTS
uses the information it collects under
this OMB approval for non-statistical
purposes including, but not limited to,
publication of both Respondent’s
identity and its data, submission of the
information to agencies outside BTS for
review, analysis and possible use in
regulatory and other administrative
matters.
Comments are invited on: Whether
the proposed record retention
requirements are necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the Department. Comments should
