SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: USDOT Survey on Projects of
National and Regional Significance
(PNRS)
Background: US Department of
Transportation (USDOT) is directed by
Section 1120(1) of Moving Ahead for
Progress in the 21st Century (MAP21),
to prepare a report to Congress not later
than 2 years after the date of enactment
of the MAP–21. The USDOT is required
to submit the report to the Committee
on Transportation and Infrastructure of
the House of Representatives and the
Committee on Environment and Public
Works of the Senate regarding PNRS.
The purpose of the report is to identify
projects of national and regional
significance that: (a) Will significantly
improve the performance of the Federalaid highway system, nationally, (b) are
able to generate national economic
benefits that reasonably exceed the costs
of the projects, including increased
access to jobs, labor, and other critical
economic inputs; (c) reduce long-term
congestion, including impacts in the
State, region, and the United States, and
increase speed, reliability, and
accessibility of the movement of people
or freight; (d) improve transportation
safety, including reducing
transportation accidents, and serious
injuries and fatalities; and (e) can be
supported by an acceptable degree of
non-Federal financial commitments.
The report is required to contain a
comprehensive list of each project of
national and regional significance that:
(a) has been complied through a survey
of State departments of transportation;
and has been classified by the Secretary
as a project of regional or national
significance.
Respondents: The target groups of
respondents are State Departments of
Transportation, transit agencies, tribal
governments and multi-state or multijurisdictional groups. The target groups
identified in the legislation are ‘‘State
departments of transportation’’; the
Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) has interpreted the legislation
to mean compile a list of projects from
E:\FR\FM\20MYN1.SGM
20MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 97 / Monday, May 20, 2013 / Notices
all eligible applicants not just the State
Departments of Transportation, thus in
addition to State Departments of
Transportation, FHWA will survey other
eligible applicants which include tribal
governments or consortium of tribal
Governments, transit agencies and
multi-State or multi-jurisdictional
groups.
Estimate
State Departments of Transportation =
52
Transit Agencies = 50
Tribal Governments = 10
Multi-state or multi-jurisdictional
groups = 10
Frequency: Every 2 years.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response:
40 hours/State Department of
Transportation = 2080 hours
20 hours/Transit Agency = 1000 hours
10 hours/Tribal Government = 100
20 hours/Multi-state or multijurisdictional groups = 200
Total burden hours = 3380.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3380
hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the U.S.
DOT’s performance, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the U.S.
DOT’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection; (3)

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption
Applications; Vision
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of final disposition.
AGENCY:
FMCSA announces its
decision to exempt 8 individuals from
the vision requirement in the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs). They are unable to meet the
vision requirement in one eye for
various reasons. The exemptions will
enable these individuals to operate
commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in
interstate commerce without meeting
the prescribed vision requirement in
one eye. The Agency has concluded that
granting these exemptions will provide
a level of safety that is equivalent to or
greater than the level of safety
maintained without the exemptions for
these CMV drivers.
DATES: The exemptions are effective
May 20, 2013. The exemptions expire
on May 20, 2015.

comment (or of the person signing the

You may review DOT’s Privacy Act
Statement for the Federal Docket
Management System (FDMS) published
in the Federal Register on January 17,
2008 (73 FR 3316).
Background
On March 19, 2013, FMCSA
published a notice of receipt of
exemption applications from certain
individuals, and requested comments
from the public (78 FR 16912). That
notice listed 8 applicants’ case histories.
The 8 individuals applied for
exemptions from the vision requirement
in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), for drivers who
operate CMVs in interstate commerce.
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
FMCSA may grant an exemption for a 2year period if it finds ‘‘such exemption
would likely achieve a level of safety
that is equivalent to or greater than the
level that would be achieved absent
such exemption.’’ The statute also
allows the Agency to renew exemptions
at the end of the 2-year period.
Accordingly, FMCSA has evaluated the
8 applications on their merits and made
a determination to grant exemptions to
each of them.
Vision and Driving Experience of the
Applicants
The vision requirement in the
FMCSRs provides:
A person is physically qualified to
drive a CMV if that person has distant
visual acuity of at least 20/40 (Snellen)
in each eye without corrective lenses or
visual acuity separately corrected to 20/
40 (Snellen) or better with corrective
lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least
20/40 (Snellen) in both eyes with or
without corrective lenses, field of vision
of at least 70° in the horizontal meridian
in each eye and the ability to recognize
the colors of traffic signals and devices
showing requirement red, green, and
amber (49 CFR 391.41(b)(10)).
FMCSA recognizes that some drivers
do not meet the vision requirement but
have adapted their driving to
accommodate their vision limitation
and demonstrated their ability to drive
safely. The 8 exemption applicants
listed in this notice are in this category.
They are unable to meet the vision
requirement in one eye for various
reasons, including enucleation,
histoplasmosis, amblyopia, and
refractive amblyopia. In most cases,
their eye conditions were not recently
developed. Six of the applicants were
either born with their vision
