SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Legal Basis for the Rulemaking
Congress delegated certain powers to
regulate interstate commerce to the
United States Department of
Transportation (DOT or Department) in
numerous pieces of legislation, most
notably in section 6 of the Department
of Transportation Act (DOT Act) (Pub.
L. 85–670, 80 Stat. 931 (1966)). Section
55 of the DOT Act transferred to the
Department the authority of the former
Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC)
to regulate the qualifications and
maximum hours of service of
employees, the safety of operations, and
the equipment of motor carriers in
interstate commerce. See 49 U.S.C. 104.
This authority, first granted to the ICC
in the Motor Carrier Act of 1935 (Pub.
L. 74–255, 49 Stat. 543, Aug. 9, 1935),
now appears in chapter 315 of title 49
of the U.S. Code. The regulations issued
under this authority became known as
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations, appearing generally at 49
CFR parts 350–399. The administrative
powers to enforce chapter 315 were also
transferred from the ICC to the DOT in
1966 and appear in chapter 5 of title 49
of the U.S. Code. The Secretary of the
U.S. Department of Transportation
(Secretary) delegated oversight of these
provisions to the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), a predecessor
agency of the FMCSA. The FMCSA
Administrator has been delegated

24SER1
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 24, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
authority under 49 CFR 1.87 to carry out
the motor carrier functions vested in the
Secretary.
Between 1984 and 1999, a number of
statutes added to FHWA’s authority.
Various statutes authorize the
enforcement of the FMCSRs, the
Hazardous Materials Regulations
(HMRs), and the Commercial
Regulations, and provide both civil and
criminal penalties for violations of these
requirements. These statutes include the
Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1984 (Pub.
L. 98–554, 98 Stat. 2832, Oct. 30, 1984),
codified at 49 U.S.C. chapter 311,
subchapter III; the Commercial Motor
Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99–
570, 100 Stat. 3207–170, Oct. 27, 1986),
codified at 49 U.S.C. chapter 313; the
Hazardous Materials Transportation
Uniform Safety Act of 1990, as amended
(Pub. L. 101–615, 104 Stat. 3244, Nov.
16, 1990), codified at 49 U.S.C. chapter
51; and the ICC Termination Act of 1995
(Pub. L. 104–88, 109 Stat. 803, Dec. 29,
1995), codified at 49 U.S.C. chapters
131–149.
The Motor Carrier Safety
Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA) (Pub.
L. 106–159, 113 Stat. 1748, Dec. 9, 1999)
established FMCSA as a new operating
administration within the DOT,
effective January 1, 2000. The motor
carrier safety responsibilities previously
assigned to both the ICC and the FHWA
are now assigned to FMCSA. Congress
expanded, modified, and amended
FMCSA’s authority in the Uniting and
Strengthening America by Providing
Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept
and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT)
Act of 2001 (Pub. L. 107–56, 115 Stat.
272, Oct. 26, 2001), the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users (SAFETEA–LU) (Pub. L. 109–59,
119 Stat. 1144, Aug. 10, 2005), the
SAFETEA–LU Technical Corrections
Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–244, 122 Stat.
1572, June 6, 2008), and the Moving
Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century
Act (MAP–21) (Pub. L. 112–141, 126
Stat. 405, July 6, 2012).
Most of the provisions of the FMCSRs
amended by this rule are based on the
statutes detailed above. The legal
authority for each of those provisions
was explained when the requirement
was originally adopted and is
summarized at the beginning of each
part in title 49 of the CFR. Title 49 CFR
subtitle B, chapter III, contains all of the
FMCSRs.
The Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553) specifically
provides exceptions to its notice and
public comment rulemaking procedures
where the Agency finds there is good
cause (and incorporates the finding and
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:12 Sep 23, 2013
Jkt 229001
a brief statement of reasons therefore in
the rules issued) to dispense with them.
Generally, good cause exists where the
Agency determines that notice and
public comment procedures are
impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). The
amendments made in this final rule
merely correct inadvertent errors and
omissions, remove obsolete references,
and make minor editorial changes to
improve clarity and consistency. The
technical amendments do not impose
any new requirements, nor do they
make any substantive changes to the
CFR. For these reasons, the FMCSA
finds good cause that notice and public
comment on this final rule are
unnecessary. For these same reasons,
this rule will be effective on the date of
publication in the Federal Register.
Background
This document makes editorial
changes to correct inaccurate references
and citations, improve clarity, and fix
errors. The reasons for each of these
minor editorial changes are set out
below, in a section-by-section
description of the changes. These
amendments do not impose any new
requirements, nor do they make
substantive changes to the CFR.
Section-by-Section Analysis
This section-by-section analysis
describes the technical amendment
provisions in numerical order.
Part 325
Section 325.1. The second sentence of
paragraph (c)(6) is revised by removing
the comma between the words
‘‘asphalt’’ and ‘‘spreaders,’’ to correct a
typographical error.
Section 325.13. In paragraph (d)(1),
‘‘Federal Highway Administration’’ is
revised to read ‘‘Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration,’’ which complies
with the intent of the technical changes
rule published in the Federal Register
(FR) on October 1, 2001 (66 FR 49867).
The last sentence of paragraph (d)(1) is
revised by capitalizing the word
‘‘carrier’’ in the phrase ‘‘Federal Motor
carrier Safety Administration’’ and
removing the space between the word
‘‘Administration’’ and the comma.
These changes are made to correct
typographical errors.
Part 350
Section 350.205. In paragraph (b), the
phrase ‘‘Division Administrator/’’ is
inserted in front of ‘‘State Director.’’ The
head of each FMCSA State office is the
Division Administrator. The Agency,
however, has one remaining State
Director, in the Puerto Rico Division.

Section 350.341. In paragraph (h)(2),
the word ‘‘affect’’ is changed ‘‘effect’’ to
correct an erroneous word choice.
Part 355
Appendix A to part 355. Under the
section for ‘‘State Determinations,’’
paragraph 2.b is revised by capitalizing
the first word ‘‘do,’’ to be consistent
with paragraphs 2.a and 2.c.
Part 365
Appendix A to Subpart E of Part 365.
In Appendix A to subpart E of part 365,
FMCSA corrects several cross
references. These errors reflect
proofreading mistakes that were part of
the original publication of the appendix
on March 19, 2002 (67 FR 12715). In
Section I titled, ‘‘General,’’ paragraph
(c)(6), the reference to ‘‘§ 385.103(d)’’ is
replaced by a reference to
‘‘§ 385.103(c),’’ which is the paragraph
that discusses requirements for a decal.
In Section III titled, ‘‘Overall
Determinations of the Carrier’s Basic
Safety Management Controls,’’
paragraph (b), the reference to sections
‘‘II (a)(1) through (5)’’ is replaced by a
reference to sections ‘‘III (a)(1) through
(5)’’ and the reference to ‘‘part III’’ is
replaced by a reference to ‘‘part IV.’’ In
Section IV titled, ‘‘Evaluation of
Regulatory Compliance,’’ paragraph
(k)(2), the reference to section ‘‘III
(k)(1)(i)’’ is replaced by a reference to
section ‘‘IV (k)(1)(i).’’ Also in Section IV,
paragraph (k)(3), the reference to
‘‘paragraph III (k)(1)(vi)’’ is replaced by
a reference to ‘‘paragraph IV (k)(1)(vi).’’
In Section IV, the introductory text of
paragraph (l), the reference to ‘‘part II
(a)(1)’’ is replaced by a reference to
‘‘part III (a)(1),’’ and the reference to
‘‘part III’’ is replaced by a reference to
‘‘part IV.’’
In Section II, paragraph (b)(2), the
word ‘‘Section’’ is revised by making the
capital ‘‘S’’ a lower case ‘‘s.’’ This
correction is made to conform to
Government Printing Office style.1
Part 369
Sections 369.2 and 369.3. The phrase
‘‘Producers Price Index’’ in notes to
these sections is changed to read
‘‘Producer Price Index’’ to correct
typographical errors.
Part 370
Section 370.9. In paragraph (b), the
reference to ‘‘§ 375.1(b)(1)’’ is changed
to ‘‘§ 375.103.’’ The definition for the
term ‘‘household goods motor carrier’’ is
located in § 375.103.

Part 372
Part 380
Sections 380.502 and 380.513. In both
§ 380.502(b) and § 380.513(e), the words
‘‘whistle blower’’ are replaced by the
word ‘‘whistleblower,’’ to correct a
spelling error.
Appendix to Part 380. Section 3 titled,
‘‘Safe Operating Practices,’’ ‘‘Unit 3.5—
Security issues,’’ is amended by
removing the words ‘‘Research and
Special Programs Administration’’ and
adding, in their place, the words
‘‘Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration.’’ In November
2004, an act of Congress abolished the
Research and Special Programs
Administration (RSPA) and certain of its
duties were transferred to the Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA). This change
is required to reflect the current name
of the agency with the statutory
authority to regulate the transportation
of hazardous materials.
Section 372.109. Paragraph (a) is
amended by replacing the phrase
‘‘federation of cooperation association’’
with the phrase ‘‘federation of
cooperative associations’’ in the first
sentence to correct a typographical
error.
Section 372.117. Paragraph (a) is
amended by replacing the reference to
‘‘section (c) herein,’’ with a reference to
‘‘paragraph (c) of this section,’’ to
conform to Office of the Federal Register
style.2
Section 372.211. Paragraph (e) is
amended by inserting the word ‘‘or’’
between the phrase ‘‘by the
municipality of Pittsburgh’’ and the
phrase ‘‘by any other municipality…’’ to
correct a typographical error.
Sections 372.227, 372.229, and
372.231. In these three sections, the
word ‘‘paragraph’’ is added before the
paragraph references in a number of
places. The addition of the word
‘‘paragraph(s)’’ in these instances
provides added clarity and conforms to
Office of the Federal Register style.3
Sections 372.213 and 372.233. In
these two sections, FMCSA adds a
reference to the specific municipality
affected by the sections. This is to
clarify which municipalities are
included within the scope of the section
and to make the language of these
sections consistent with other sections
in part 372. Section 372.213(e) is
amended by adding the phrase ‘‘of
Pueblo or by any other municipality’’;
§ 372.233(e) is amended by adding the
words ‘‘of Chicago or any other
municipality.’’
Part 375
Section 375.105. In paragraph (b), the
word ‘‘Section’’ that precedes each
section number is removed and instead
two section symbols (§§ ) are added at
the beginning of the list, before the
reference to § 375.205. This conforms to
Government Printing Office style 4 and
eliminates needless repetition.
Part 376
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Section 376.11. In the last sentence of
paragraph (d)(1), the phrase ‘‘the
balance f documentation’’ is corrected to
read ‘‘the balance of documentation.’’
2 The Office of the Federal Register publishes the
‘‘Document Drafting Handbook,’’ which provides
Federal Agencies with guidance and examples for
complying with the OFR’s format and editorial
requirements for Federal Register documents. It is
available at: https://www.archives.gov/federalregister/write/handbook/ddh.pdf. See page 2–45.

Jkt 229001
Part 381
Sections 381.310 and 381.410. In
§ 381.310(c)(5) and § 381.410(c)(8), the
words ‘‘achieve a level a safety’’ are
replaced by the words ‘‘achieve a level
of safety,’’ to correct typographical
errors.
Part 382
Section 382.401. To conform to the
structure of paragraph (b), paragraph
(b)(2) is changed to a full sentence by
appending to the end of the paragraph
the phrase ‘‘shall be maintained for a
minimum of 2 years.’’ In addition, two
cross references, which were incorrect
in the original publication of the rule
(66 FR 43103, August 17, 2001), are
corrected here. The reference to
‘‘§ 40.213(a)’’ in paragraph (c)(5)(iv) is
corrected to read ‘‘§ 40.213(g),’’ which
discusses documentation of training for
breath alcohol technicians. Finally, the
reference to ‘‘§ 390.31’’ in paragraph (d)
is corrected to read ‘‘§ 390.29,’’ which
discusses locations of records.
Section 382.403. In paragraph (e), the
term ‘‘Consortia/Third party
administrator’’ is changed to
‘‘Consortium/Third party
administrator,’’ as it is defined in
§ 382.107.
Section 382.601. In paragraph (b)(11),
the phrase ‘‘. . . program and or referral
to management’’ is replaced by the
phrase ‘‘. . . program and/or referral to
management,’’ to correct a typographical
error.
Part 383
Section 383.3. In paragraph (f), the
words ‘‘(except in the instances
specified in § 383.21)’’ are removed
because the exceptions previously
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
referenced under § 383.21 were removed
in a September 2, 1999, rulemaking (64
FR 48110).
Section 383.5. Under the definition
for ‘‘Conviction,’’ the closed quotation
mark following the word ‘‘probated’’ is
removed to correct a typographical
error.
Section 383.51. In Table 2 to § 383.51,
footnote 1 is changed to add a reference
to the commercial learner’s permit
(CLP), so that the footnote agrees with
the regulatory text in § 383.51(c)(7).
Section 383.53. In paragraph (b)(2),
the reference to ‘‘§ 383.37(c)’’ is changed
to read ‘‘§ 383.37(d).’’ Also, in paragraph
(c), the reference to ‘‘§ 383.37(d)’’ is
changed to read ‘‘§ 383.37(e).’’ When 49
CFR 383.37 was revised on May 9, 2011
(76 FR 26979), old paragraphs (c) and
(d) became paragraphs (d) and (e),
respectively, but the corresponding
changes in § 383.53 were not made.
Sections 383.71, 383.73, and 383.153.
In these three sections, FMCSA corrects
the date ‘‘July 8, 2014’’ to read ‘‘July 8,
2015.’’ This compliance date, which
appears in § 384.301(f), was changed on
March 25, 2013 (78 FR 17882). FMCSA,
however, failed to change references to
the compliance date in §§ 383.71(a)(1)
and (2), 383.73(a)(1) and (2), and
383.153(g) and (h).
On October 1, 2012, § 383.71(b)(1)(i)
was removed because it was obsolete,
and paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of that section
was redesignated as paragraph (b)(1) (77
FR 59825). The Agency, however, failed
to change numerous affected cross
references throughout §§ 383.71 and
383.73. It is correcting that oversight in
this rulemaking.
Part 384
Section 384.206. As previously
described, § 383.71(b)(1)(ii) was
redesignated as § 383.71(b)(1) on
October 1, 2012 (77 FR 59825).
Therefore, the references to
‘‘§§ 383.71(b)(1)(ii)(A)’’ and
‘‘383.71(b)(1)(ii),’’ in § 384.206(a)(1)(ii)
and (a)(2)(iii), respectively, are
corrected. In paragraph (a)(2)(iii), the
reference to ‘‘§ 383.73(j)(4)’’ is corrected
to read ‘‘§ 383.73(o)(4).’’ This reference
changed when § 383.73 was revised on
May 9, 2011 (76 FR 26883), but the
Agency inadvertently did not change
this cross reference.
Section 384.216. Paragraph (b) is
amended by correcting the cross
reference to ‘‘§ 383.51(a)(5)’’ to read
‘‘§ 383.51(a)(6).’’ When § 383.51(a) was
revised on May 9, 2011 (76 FR 26879),
this change was not made.
Sections 384.222 and 384.223. When
§ 383.37 was revised on May 9, 2011 (76
FR 26879), the Agency did not make the
necessary changes to the cross
E:\FR\FM\24SER1.SGM
24SER1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 24, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
references in §§ 384.222 and 384.223.
The reference to ‘‘§ 383.37(c)’’ in
§ 384.222 is removed and replaced by a
reference to ‘‘§ 383.37(d),’’ which
discusses out-of-service orders. In
§ 384.223, the reference to ‘‘§ 383.37(d)’’
is changed to reference ‘‘§ 383.37(e),’’
which discusses railroad-highway grade
crossings.
Section 384.225. Paragraph (a)(2)(i) is
changed by replacing the reference to
‘‘§ 383.71(b)(1)(ii)’’ with a reference to
‘‘§ 383.71(b)(1).’’ Section 383.71(b)(1)(ii)
was redesignated as § 383.71(b)(1) on
October 1, 2012 (77 FR 59825).
Section 384.229. In paragraph (a), the
last sentence is removed because the
cross- referenced exception in
§ 383.75(a)(7) was eliminated in a March
25, 2013 final rule (78 FR 17881).
Section 384.305. In paragraph (a), the
phrase ‘‘Division Administrator/’’ is
inserted in front of the words ‘‘State
Director.’’ As previously noted,
generally, the head of each FMCSA
State office is the Division
Administrator. However, the Agency
has one remaining State Director, in the
Puerto Rico Division.
Section 384.309. Paragraph (a)(2)
incorrectly references § 384.307(c). The
correct reference is to § 384.307(d),

However, since July 5, 2007 (72 FR

Sections 385.3, 385.407, and 385.421.
As previously mentioned, an Act of
Congress abolished RSPA and certain of
its duties were transferred to PHMSA. In
several sections, FMCSA changes a
reference to RSPA to a reference to
PHMSA to reflect the current name of
the agency with the statutory authority
to regulate the transportation of
hazardous materials. Section 385.3 is
changed by removing ‘‘RSPA means the
Research and Special Programs
Administration’’ and adding, in
alphabetical order, ‘‘PHMSA means the
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration.’’ Sections 385.407(c)
and 385.421(a)(9) are both changed to
remove terms related to the obsolete
Research and Special Programs
Administration and add, in their place,
the term ‘‘Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration’’ or the
acronym ‘‘PHMSA.’’

Section 385.4. In this section, FMCSA
removes the name ‘‘Mr. Thomas Kelly’’
and adds the title ‘‘Chief, Compliance
Division’’ in its place. This change
makes clear that any questions should
be addressed to the current Chief of the
Compliance Division. Paragraph (b) is
changed to correct a typographical error
in the address.
Section 386.83. Section 386.83
contains a reference to 49 CFR part 386
Appendix A (h) that was not updated
after that paragraph was re-numbered.
This rule corrects that so that it properly
references 49 CFR part 386 Appendix A
(i).
Part 386
Sections 386.2, 386.7, and 386.8. As
part of a reorganization in DOT, the
Docket Management Facility was
renamed Docket Operations. FMCSA
corrects §§ 386.2, 386.7, and 386.8 to be
consistent with the official title used by
the facility. In the definition of
‘‘Dockets’’ in § 386.2, the run-in, italic
heading is changed to read ‘‘Docket
Operations.’’ The address in § 386.7 is
changed from ‘‘Department of
Transportation Docket Management
Facility’’ to ‘‘Department of
Transportation Docket Operations.’’ In
§ 386.8(c)(2), the name of the facility is
changed from ‘‘Dockets’’ to ‘‘Docket
Operations.’’
Section 386.11. The Agency updates
the title of the office in paragraph (a) to
read ‘‘Director, Office of Carrier, Driver,
and Vehicle Safety Standards (MC–PS)’’
to reflect current usage and makes
editorial changes to paragraph (b) for
consistency.
Section 386.13. Paragraph (a)(5) is
changed to clarify that the information
in the paragraph refers to a petition and
not a reply. In addition, the cross
reference is changed from ‘‘§ 386.31’’ to
‘‘§ 386.6(c)’’ because on May 18, 2005,
former § 386.31 was superseded by
§ 386.6 (70 FR 28480).
Section 386.22. In paragraphs (d) and
(e), the comma following ‘‘reject it’’ is
removed to correct a typographical error
and to be consistent with § 386.22(c).
Section 386.48. The Agency updates
the title of the office to read ‘‘Director,
Office of Carrier, Driver, and Vehicle
Safety Standards (MC–PS)’’ to reflect
current usage.
Section 386.51. In paragraph (a), the
word ‘‘anytime’’ is changed to read ‘‘any
time’’ to correct a typographical error
and to be consistent with § 386.51(b).
Section 386.72. In paragraph (b)(3),
the Agency adds a reference to
‘‘employee’’ to the definition of
‘‘imminent hazard’’ to reflect the
wording of the statute at 49 U.S.C.
521(b)(5)(B).
Section 386.73. Paragraph (g)(8)(iii) is
amended by replacing the reference to
‘‘(g)(5)’’ with ‘‘(g)(7),’’ the correct
reference to the 30-day period for
review of a petition. This cross reference
was incorrect when the section was
added April 26, 2012 (77 FR 24870).
Sections 387.5 and 387.29. The word
‘‘means’’ is inserted between the term
being defined and the definition for
several terms defined in these sections.
This change provides added clarity and
readability, and conforms to other
sections throughout the CFR.
Sections 387.307, 387.315, and
387.409. Each instance of the terms
‘‘state’’ and ‘‘federal’’ are capitalized in
these sections, to be consistent with the
Government Printing Office style.5 In
§ 387.307, paragraph (d)(1), the term
‘‘subsection (a)’’ after the phrase ‘‘. . .

§ 391.15(f), Disqualification for violation
of a restriction on using a hand-held
mobile telephone while driving a
commercial motor vehicle. The first
citation (§ 391.15(e)) was originally
included in the September 25, 2010,
texting final rule (75 FR 59118). When
the paragraph was revised by the cell
phone rule to add that exception in
§ 391.15(f) on December 2, 2011 (76 FR
75470), § 391.15(e)—the texting rule
disqualification—was inadvertently
omitted from the list of exceptions.
Also, paragraph (f)(6) is amended to
include an additional exception
(§ 391.15(e)) for the texting provisions.
This citation was included in the 2010
texting final rule, but inadvertently

Section 390.21. In paragraph (e)(2)(iv),
the word ‘‘part’’ is inserted between the

Office of the Federal Register style.7
Also, in paragraph (g)(4)(iii), the
acronyms ‘‘SCAC’’ and ‘‘VIN’’ are used,
but they not defined until
§ 390.21(g)(4)(v)(A). For clarity, the
acronyms SCAC and VIN are spelled out
in § 390.21(g)(4)(iii) as follows:
‘‘Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC)’’
and ‘‘Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN)’’ the first time they are used, but
the acronyms alone are used in
paragraph (g)(4)(v)(A).
Section 390.40. In paragraph (f), the
reference to ‘‘§ 396.12’’ is replaced with
a reference to ‘‘§ 396.3(b)(3),’’ which is
the correct citation for records of
inspection, repair and maintenance.
Also, paragraph (j) included a reference
to § 386.72(b)(1), which is incorrect
because the definition of ‘‘imminent
hazard’’ is no longer contained in that
paragraph. Thus, in paragraph (j) of
§ 390.40, the reference to
‘‘§ 396.72(b)(1)’’ is removed and
replaced with a reference to
‘‘§ 396.72(b)(3).
Section 390.107. In the introductory

the reference to ‘‘§ 395.2(a)’’ is removed
and replaced with a reference to
‘‘§ 395.2,’’ to correct a typographical

§ 395.2 is arranged alphabetically, rather

Section 391.47. In paragraphs (c),

‘‘Director of Bus and Truck Operations
(MC–PSDPSD)’’ is changed to correctly
refer to the position title and mail
routing symbol, respectively, as
‘‘Director, Office of Carrier, Driver and
Vehicle Safety Standards (MC–PS).’’
Section 391.49. In paragraphs (g), (h),
(j)(1), (j)(2), and (k), the phrase
‘‘Division Administrator/’’ is added
before the words ‘‘State Director’’ in
each instance the term is used. As noted
previously, except for the Puerto Rico

office is the Division Administrator.
Section 391.65. In paragraphs (a)
introductory text, (a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(2)(i),

statement in (a)(2)(vii), the words
‘‘regularly employed’’ or variations of
that phrase are replaced by the words
‘‘single-employer driver’’ or variations
of that phrase. The reference in
paragraph (a)(2)(iii) to the definition of
a regularly employed driver in § 390.5 is
no longer correct. The definition of
‘‘regularly employed driver’’ has been
replaced by the definition of ‘‘singleemployer driver’’ (see 63 FR 33276, June

replaced with the words ‘‘Tow-bars of
such design or in such condition as to

citation at the end of § 393.71 because
it is outdated and because the authority

the authority for the section.
Section 393.77. Paragraph ‘‘(b)(15)(i)

the quotation mark (’’) following the

Section 393.120. In the italic, run-in
headings of paragraphs (b), (c), and (d),
the words ‘‘in an’’ are added after the

words ‘‘must be used’’ are removed. In
the introductory text of paragraph (b)(2),
the word ‘‘the’’ is removed after the
words ‘‘longitudinal row,’’ and, in its
place, is added the word ‘‘then.’’ In
paragraph (d)(1)(v), the comma is

Section 393.124. The paragraph that

Part 395
Section 395.1. On August 25, 2005,
the Agency modified substantially the
sleeper berth regulations in § 395.1(g)
(70 FR 50071). Among other things, the
2005 sleeper berth provisions referred to
the 11- and 14-hour limits, which do not
apply in Alaska. Inadvertently, FMCSA
did not include alternative Alaska limits
in that rulemaking. As a result, the
current sleeper berth rules say that
drivers can drive only 11 hours in a 14hour window, while Alaska drivers can
drive 15 hours in a non-consecutive 20hour window. This rulemaking corrects
that oversight by adding the alternative
limits for Alaska drivers to § 395.1(g).
The title of paragraph (m) in § 395.1,
‘‘Construction materials and
equipment,’’ is italicized to stylistically
conform to the titles of the other
paragraphs in that section.
Section 395.3. Paragraph (d), dealing
with the once-a-week limit on restarting

These three paragraphs are amended to
correct certain grammatical errors. In
the introductory text of § 397.67(b), the
phrase ‘‘a NRHM routing designations,’’

§ 397.69(b) and § 397.71(b)(6), (b)(9)(i),
and (b)(9)(iv) by replacing the words ‘‘a
NRHM’’ with the words ‘‘an NRHM’’
wherever they appear. In addition, in
§ 397.71(b)(2)(ii), the word ‘‘their’’
following ‘‘. . . the public will be

Section 397.73. In paragraph (a), the

In paragraph (b), the phrase ‘‘their

error.
Section 397.101. In paragraph (d), the
words ‘‘shall prepared’’ are replaced by
the words ‘‘shall prepare’’ to correct a

Regulatory Policies and Procedures
FMCSA has determined that this
action is not a significant regulatory
action within the meaning of Executive
Order 12866, as supplemented by
Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 18, 2011), or within the
meaning of the DOT regulatory policies
and procedures (44 FR 1103, February
26, 1979). Thus, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) did not
review this document. We expect the
final rule will have minimal, if any,
costs; therefore, a full regulatory
evaluation is unnecessary.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
In compliance with the Regulatory
Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 601–

Assistance for Small Entities
In accordance with section 213(a) of
the Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996,
FMCSA wants to assist small entities in
understanding this rule so that they can
better evaluate its effects on themselves
and participate in the rulemaking
initiative. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance; please consult
the FMCSA point of contact, Elaine
Walls, listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
rule.
Small businesses may send comments
on the actions of Federal employees
who enforce or otherwise determine
compliance with Federal regulations to
the Small Business Administration’s
Small Business and Agriculture
Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman
and the Regional Small Business
Regulatory Fairness Boards. The
Ombudsman evaluates these actions
annually and rates each agency’s
responsiveness to small business. If you
wish to comment on actions by
employees of FMCSA, call 1–888–REG–
FAIR (1–888–734–3247). DOT has a
policy regarding the rights of small
entities to regulatory enforcement
fairness and an explicit policy against
retaliation for exercising these rights.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The final rule will not impose an
unfunded Federal mandate, as defined
by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1532, et seq.), that will
result in the expenditure by State, local

or by the private sector, of $143.1
million (which is the value equivalent
of $100,000,000 in 1995, adjusted for

E.O. 13132 (Federalism)
A rule has implications for
Federalism under section 1(a) of
Executive Order 13132 if it has
‘‘substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among various levels of
government.’’ FMCSA has determined
that this rule will not have substantial
direct effects on States, nor will it limit
the policymaking discretion of States.

13132.
E.O. 12372 (Intergovernmental Review)
The regulations implementing E.O.
12372 regarding intergovernmental
consultation on Federal programs and
activities do not apply to this rule.
Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175 titled, ‘‘Consultation and
Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments,’’ because it would not
have a substantial direct effect on one or
more Indian tribes, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes.
Paperwork Reduction Act
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.),
Federal agencies must obtain approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct, sponsor, or
require through regulations. FMCSA
determined that no new information
collection requirements are associated
with this final rule.
National Environmental Policy Act and
Clean Air Act
FMCSA analyzed this final rule for
the purpose of ascertaining the
applicability of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and determined
under our Environmental Procedures
Order 5610.1, issued March 1, 2004 (69
FR 9680), that this action would not
have any effect on the quality of the
environment. In addition, this final rule
is categorically excluded from further
analysis and documentation under the
Categorical Exclusion (CE) in paragraph
6(b) of Appendix 2 of FMCSA Order
5610.1. This CE addresses minor
editorial corrections such as those
addressed in this rulemaking; therefore
preparation of an environmental
assessment or environmental impact
statement is not necessary.
The FMCSA also analyzed this rule
under the Clean Air Act, as amended
(CAA), section 176(c) (42 U.S.C. 42
U.S.C. 7506(c)), and implementing
regulations promulgated by the
Environmental Protection Agency.
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Approval of this action is exempt from
the CAA’s general conformity
requirement since it does not affect
direct or indirect emissions of criteria
pollutants.
E.O. 12898 (Environmental Justice)
This technical amendment final rule
is not subject to Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
Executive Order 12898 establishes
Federal executive policy on
environmental justice. Its main
provision directs Federal agencies, to
make environmental justice part of their
mission by identifying and addressing,
as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or
environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority
populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
FMCSA determined that this rule will
not have disproportionately high and
adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority or low-income
populations because it does not change
the substance of any of the FMCSRs.
E.O. 13211 (Energy Effects)
FMCSA has analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13211 titled, ‘‘Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.’’ The Agency has
determined that it is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under that Executive
Order because it is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under Executive
Order 12866 and is not likely to have a
significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy. Therefore,
no Statement of Energy Effects is
required.
E.O. 13045 (Protection of Children)
Executive Order 13045 titled,
‘‘Protection of Children From
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, Apr. 23, 1997),
requires agencies issuing ‘‘economically
significant’’ rules, if the regulation also
concerns an environmental health or
safety risk that an agency has reason to
believe may disproportionately affect
children, to include an evaluation of the
regulation’s environmental health and
safety effects on children. As discussed
previously, this rule is not economically
significant. Therefore, no analysis of the
impacts on children is required.
E.O. 12988 (Civil Justice Reform)
This action meets applicable
standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of
E.O. 12988 titled, ‘‘Civil Justice
Reform,’’ to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce
burden.

The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act (15 U.S.C. 272
note) requires Federal agencies
proposing to adopt technical standards
to consider whether voluntary
consensus standards are available. If the
Agency chooses to adopt its own
standards in place of existing voluntary
consensus standards, it must explain its
decision in a separate statement to
OMB. Because FMCSA does not intend
to adopt technical standards, there is no
need to submit a separate statement to
OMB on this matter.
Privacy Impact Assessment
Section 522(a)(5) of the
Transportation, Treasury, Independent
Agencies, and General Government
Appropriations Act, 2005 (Pub. L. 108–
447, Division H, Title I, 118 Stat. 2809
at 3268, Dec. 8, 2004) requires DOT and
certain other Federal agencies to
conduct a privacy impact assessment of
each rule that will affect the privacy of
individuals. Because this final rule will
not affect the privacy of individuals,
FMCSA did not conduct a separate
privacy impact assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Legal Basis for the Rulemaking
Congress delegated certain powers to regulate interstate commerce
to the United States Department of Transportation (DOT or Department)
in numerous pieces of legislation, most notably in section 6 of the
Department of Transportation Act (DOT Act) (Pub. L. 85-670, 80 Stat.
931 (1966)). Section 55 of the DOT Act transferred to the Department
the authority of the former Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to
regulate the qualifications and maximum hours of service of employees,
the safety of operations, and the equipment of motor carriers in
interstate commerce. See 49 U.S.C. 104. This authority, first granted
to the ICC in the Motor Carrier Act of 1935 (Pub. L. 74-255, 49 Stat.
543, Aug. 9, 1935), now appears in chapter 315 of title 49 of the U.S.
Code. The regulations issued under this authority became known as the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, appearing generally at 49 CFR
parts 350-399. The administrative powers to enforce chapter 315 were
also transferred from the ICC to the DOT in 1966 and appear in chapter
5 of title 49 of the U.S. Code. The Secretary of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (Secretary) delegated oversight of these provisions to
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), a predecessor agency of the
FMCSA. The FMCSA Administrator has been delegated
[[Page 58471]]
authority under 49 CFR 1.87 to carry out the motor carrier functions
vested in the Secretary.
Between 1984 and 1999, a number of statutes added to FHWA's
authority. Various statutes authorize the enforcement of the FMCSRs,
the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs), and the Commercial
Regulations, and provide both civil and criminal penalties for
violations of these requirements. These statutes include the Motor
Carrier Safety Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-554, 98 Stat. 2832, Oct. 30,
1984), codified at 49 U.S.C. chapter 311, subchapter III; the
Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99-570, 100 Stat.
3207-170, Oct. 27, 1986), codified at 49 U.S.C. chapter 313; the
Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety Act of 1990, as
amended (Pub. L. 101-615, 104 Stat. 3244, Nov. 16, 1990), codified at
49 U.S.C. chapter 51; and the ICC Termination Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-
88, 109 Stat. 803, Dec. 29, 1995), codified at 49 U.S.C. chapters 131-
149.
The Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA) (Pub. L.
106-159, 113 Stat. 1748, Dec. 9, 1999) established FMCSA as a new
operating administration within the DOT, effective January 1, 2000. The
motor carrier safety responsibilities previously assigned to both the
ICC and the FHWA are now assigned to FMCSA. Congress expanded,
modified, and amended FMCSA's authority in the Uniting and
Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to
Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001 (Pub. L.
107-56, 115 Stat. 272, Oct. 26, 2001), the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU)
(Pub. L. 109-59, 119 Stat. 1144, Aug. 10, 2005), the SAFETEA-LU
Technical Corrections Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-244, 122 Stat. 1572,
June 6, 2008), and the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century
Act (MAP-21) (Pub. L. 112-141, 126 Stat. 405, July 6, 2012).
Most of the provisions of the FMCSRs amended by this rule are based
on the statutes detailed above. The legal authority for each of those
provisions was explained when the requirement was originally adopted
and is summarized at the beginning of each part in title 49 of the CFR.
Title 49 CFR subtitle B, chapter III, contains all of the FMCSRs.
The Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553) specifically
provides exceptions to its notice and public comment rulemaking
procedures where the Agency finds there is good cause (and incorporates
the finding and a brief statement of reasons therefore in the rules
issued) to dispense with them. Generally, good cause exists where the
Agency determines that notice and public comment procedures are
impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest (5 U.S.C.
553(b)). The amendments made in this final rule merely correct
inadvertent errors and omissions, remove obsolete references, and make
minor editorial changes to improve clarity and consistency. The
technical amendments do not impose any new requirements, nor do they
make any substantive changes to the CFR. For these reasons, the FMCSA
finds good cause that notice and public comment on this final rule are
unnecessary. For these same reasons, this rule will be effective on the
date of publication in the Federal Register.
Background
This document makes editorial changes to correct inaccurate
references and citations, improve clarity, and fix errors. The reasons
for each of these minor editorial changes are set out below, in a
section-by-section description of the changes. These amendments do not
impose any new requirements, nor do they make substantive changes to
the CFR.
Section-by-Section Analysis
This section-by-section analysis describes the technical amendment
provisions in numerical order.
Part 325
Section 325.1. The second sentence of paragraph (c)(6) is revised
by removing the comma between the words ``asphalt'' and ``spreaders,''
to correct a typographical error.
Section 325.13. In paragraph (d)(1), ``Federal Highway
Administration'' is revised to read ``Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration,'' which complies with the intent of the technical
changes rule published in the Federal Register (FR) on October 1, 2001
(66 FR 49867). The last sentence of paragraph (d)(1) is revised by
capitalizing the word ``carrier'' in the phrase ``Federal Motor carrier
Safety Administration'' and removing the space between the word
``Administration'' and the comma. These changes are made to correct
typographical errors.
Part 350
Section 350.205. In paragraph (b), the phrase ``Division
Administrator/'' is inserted in front of ``State Director.'' The head
of each FMCSA State office is the Division Administrator. The Agency,
however, has one remaining State Director, in the Puerto Rico Division.
Section 350.341. In paragraph (h)(2), the word ``affect'' is
changed ``effect'' to correct an erroneous word choice.
Part 355
Appendix A to part 355. Under the section for ``State
Determinations,'' paragraph 2.b is revised by capitalizing the first
word ``do,'' to be consistent with paragraphs 2.a and 2.c.
Part 365
Appendix A to Subpart E of Part 365. In Appendix A to subpart E of
part 365, FMCSA corrects several cross references. These errors reflect
proofreading mistakes that were part of the original publication of the
appendix on March 19, 2002 (67 FR 12715). In Section I titled,
``General,'' paragraph (c)(6), the reference to ``Sec. 385.103(d)'' is
replaced by a reference to ``Sec. 385.103(c),'' which is the paragraph
that discusses requirements for a decal. In Section III titled,
``Overall Determinations of the Carrier's Basic Safety Management
Controls,'' paragraph (b), the reference to sections ``II (a)(1)
through (5)'' is replaced by a reference to sections ``III (a)(1)
through (5)'' and the reference to ``part III'' is replaced by a
reference to ``part IV.'' In Section IV titled, ``Evaluation of
Regulatory Compliance,'' paragraph (k)(2), the reference to section
``III (k)(1)(i)'' is replaced by a reference to section ``IV
(k)(1)(i).'' Also in Section IV, paragraph (k)(3), the reference to
``paragraph III (k)(1)(vi)'' is replaced by a reference to ``paragraph
IV (k)(1)(vi).'' In Section IV, the introductory text of paragraph (l),
the reference to ``part II (a)(1)'' is replaced by a reference to
``part III (a)(1),'' and the reference to ``part III'' is replaced by a
reference to ``part IV.''
In Section II, paragraph (b)(2), the word ``Section'' is revised by
making the capital ``S'' a lower case ``s.'' This correction is made to
conform to Government Printing Office style.\1\

4. The ``Style Manual'' is available at: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/GPO-STYLEMANUAL-2008/content-detail.html.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 369
Sections 369.2 and 369.3. The phrase ``Producers Price Index'' in
notes to these sections is changed to read ``Producer Price Index'' to
correct typographical errors.
Part 370
Section 370.9. In paragraph (b), the reference to ``Sec.
375.1(b)(1)'' is changed to ``Sec. 375.103.'' The definition for the
term ``household goods motor carrier'' is located in Sec. 375.103.
[[Page 58472]]
Part 372
Section 372.109. Paragraph (a) is amended by replacing the phrase
``federation of cooperation association'' with the phrase ``federation
of cooperative associations'' in the first sentence to correct a
typographical error.
Section 372.117. Paragraph (a) is amended by replacing the
reference to ``section (c) herein,'' with a reference to ``paragraph
(c) of this section,'' to conform to Office of the Federal Register
style.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Office of the Federal Register publishes the ``Document
Drafting Handbook,'' which provides Federal Agencies with guidance
and examples for complying with the OFR's format and editorial
requirements for Federal Register documents. It is available at:
https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/write/handbook/ddh.pdf. See
page 2-45.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 372.211. Paragraph (e) is amended by inserting the word
``or'' between the phrase ``by the municipality of Pittsburgh'' and the
phrase ``by any other municipality[hellip]'' to correct a typographical
error.
Sections 372.227, 372.229, and 372.231. In these three sections,
the word ``paragraph'' is added before the paragraph references in a
number of places. The addition of the word ``paragraph(s)'' in these
instances provides added clarity and conforms to Office of the Federal
Register style.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ ``Document Drafting Handbook,'' page 2-45.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sections 372.213 and 372.233. In these two sections, FMCSA adds a
reference to the specific municipality affected by the sections. This
is to clarify which municipalities are included within the scope of the
section and to make the language of these sections consistent with
other sections in part 372. Section 372.213(e) is amended by adding the
phrase ``of Pueblo or by any other municipality''; Sec. 372.233(e) is
amended by adding the words ``of Chicago or any other municipality.''
Part 375
Section 375.105. In paragraph (b), the word ``Section'' that
precedes each section number is removed and instead two section symbols
(Sec. Sec. ) are added at the beginning of the list, before the
reference to Sec. 375.205. This conforms to Government Printing Office
style \4\ and eliminates needless repetition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ ``Style Manual,'' 10.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 376
Section 376.11. In the last sentence of paragraph (d)(1), the
phrase ``the balance f documentation'' is corrected to read ``the
balance of documentation.''
Part 380
Sections 380.502 and 380.513. In both Sec. 380.502(b) and Sec.
380.513(e), the words ``whistle blower'' are replaced by the word
``whistleblower,'' to correct a spelling error.
Appendix to Part 380. Section 3 titled, ``Safe Operating
Practices,'' ``Unit 3.5--Security issues,'' is amended by removing the
words ``Research and Special Programs Administration'' and adding, in
their place, the words ``Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration.'' In November 2004, an act of Congress abolished the
Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) and certain of its
duties were transferred to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA). This change is required to reflect the current
name of the agency with the statutory authority to regulate the
transportation of hazardous materials.
Part 381
Sections 381.310 and 381.410. In Sec. 381.310(c)(5) and Sec.
381.410(c)(8), the words ``achieve a level a safety'' are replaced by
the words ``achieve a level of safety,'' to correct typographical
errors.
Part 382
Section 382.401. To conform to the structure of paragraph (b),
paragraph (b)(2) is changed to a full sentence by appending to the end
of the paragraph the phrase ``shall be maintained for a minimum of 2
years.'' In addition, two cross references, which were incorrect in the
original publication of the rule (66 FR 43103, August 17, 2001), are
corrected here. The reference to ``Sec. 40.213(a)'' in paragraph
(c)(5)(iv) is corrected to read ``Sec. 40.213(g),'' which discusses
documentation of training for breath alcohol technicians. Finally, the
reference to ``Sec. 390.31'' in paragraph (d) is corrected to read
``Sec. 390.29,'' which discusses locations of records.
Section 382.403. In paragraph (e), the term ``Consortia/Third party
administrator'' is changed to ``Consortium/Third party administrator,''
as it is defined in Sec. 382.107.
Section 382.601. In paragraph (b)(11), the phrase ``. . . program
and or referral to management'' is replaced by the phrase ``. . .
program and/or referral to management,'' to correct a typographical
error.
Part 383
Section 383.3. In paragraph (f), the words ``(except in the
instances specified in Sec. 383.21)'' are removed because the
exceptions previously referenced under Sec. 383.21 were removed in a
September 2, 1999, rulemaking (64 FR 48110).
Section 383.5. Under the definition for ``Conviction,'' the closed
quotation mark following the word ``probated'' is removed to correct a
typographical error.
Section 383.51. In Table 2 to Sec. 383.51, footnote 1 is changed
to add a reference to the commercial learner's permit (CLP), so that
the footnote agrees with the regulatory text in Sec. 383.51(c)(7).
Section 383.53. In paragraph (b)(2), the reference to ``Sec.
383.37(c)'' is changed to read ``Sec. 383.37(d).'' Also, in paragraph
(c), the reference to ``Sec. 383.37(d)'' is changed to read ``Sec.
383.37(e).'' When 49 CFR 383.37 was revised on May 9, 2011 (76 FR
26979), old paragraphs (c) and (d) became paragraphs (d) and (e),
respectively, but the corresponding changes in Sec. 383.53 were not
made.
Sections 383.71, 383.73, and 383.153. In these three sections,
FMCSA corrects the date ``July 8, 2014'' to read ``July 8, 2015.'' This
compliance date, which appears in Sec. 384.301(f), was changed on
March 25, 2013 (78 FR 17882). FMCSA, however, failed to change
references to the compliance date in Sec. Sec. 383.71(a)(1) and (2),
383.73(a)(1) and (2), and 383.153(g) and (h).
On October 1, 2012, Sec. 383.71(b)(1)(i) was removed because it
was obsolete, and paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of that section was redesignated
as paragraph (b)(1) (77 FR 59825). The Agency, however, failed to
change numerous affected cross references throughout Sec. Sec. 383.71
and 383.73. It is correcting that oversight in this rulemaking.
Part 384
Section 384.206. As previously described, Sec. 383.71(b)(1)(ii)
was redesignated as Sec. 383.71(b)(1) on October 1, 2012 (77 FR
59825). Therefore, the references to ``Sec. Sec. 383.71(b)(1)(ii)(A)''
and ``383.71(b)(1)(ii),'' in Sec. 384.206(a)(1)(ii) and (a)(2)(iii),
respectively, are corrected. In paragraph (a)(2)(iii), the reference to
``Sec. 383.73(j)(4)'' is corrected to read ``Sec. 383.73(o)(4).''
This reference changed when Sec. 383.73 was revised on May 9, 2011 (76
FR 26883), but the Agency inadvertently did not change this cross
reference.
Section 384.216. Paragraph (b) is amended by correcting the cross
reference to ``Sec. 383.51(a)(5)'' to read ``Sec. 383.51(a)(6).''
When Sec. 383.51(a) was revised on May 9, 2011 (76 FR 26879), this
change was not made.
Sections 384.222 and 384.223. When Sec. 383.37 was revised on May
9, 2011 (76 FR 26879), the Agency did not make the necessary changes to
the cross
[[Page 58473]]
references in Sec. Sec. 384.222 and 384.223. The reference to ``Sec.
383.37(c)'' in Sec. 384.222 is removed and replaced by a reference to
``Sec. 383.37(d),'' which discusses out-of-service orders. In Sec.
384.223, the reference to ``Sec. 383.37(d)'' is changed to reference
``Sec. 383.37(e),'' which discusses railroad-highway grade crossings.
Section 384.225. Paragraph (a)(2)(i) is changed by replacing the
reference to ``Sec. 383.71(b)(1)(ii)'' with a reference to ``Sec.
383.71(b)(1).'' Section 383.71(b)(1)(ii) was redesignated as Sec.
383.71(b)(1) on October 1, 2012 (77 FR 59825).
Section 384.229. In paragraph (a), the last sentence is removed
because the cross- referenced exception in Sec. 383.75(a)(7) was
eliminated in a March 25, 2013 final rule (78 FR 17881).
Section 384.305. In paragraph (a), the phrase ``Division
Administrator/'' is inserted in front of the words ``State Director.''
As previously noted, generally, the head of each FMCSA State office is
the Division Administrator. However, the Agency has one remaining State
Director, in the Puerto Rico Division.
Section 384.309. Paragraph (a)(2) incorrectly references Sec.
384.307(c). The correct reference is to Sec. 384.307(d), which
addresses final FMCSA determinations. When Sec. 384.307 was revised on
July 31, 2002 (67 FR 49763), this change was not made.
Section 384.403. Paragraph (a) references Sec. 384.401(a)(1) or
(b)(1). However, since July 5, 2007 (72 FR 36788), paragraphs (a) and
(b) in Sec. 384.401 no longer have subparagraphs. The references in
Sec. 384.403(a) are corrected to read ``Sec. 384.401(a) or (b).''
Part 385
Sections 385.3, 385.407, and 385.421. As previously mentioned, an
Act of Congress abolished RSPA and certain of its duties were
transferred to PHMSA. In several sections, FMCSA changes a reference to
RSPA to a reference to PHMSA to reflect the current name of the agency
with the statutory authority to regulate the transportation of
hazardous materials. Section 385.3 is changed by removing ``RSPA means
the Research and Special Programs Administration'' and adding, in
alphabetical order, ``PHMSA means the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration.'' Sections 385.407(c) and 385.421(a)(9) are both
changed to remove terms related to the obsolete Research and Special
Programs Administration and add, in their place, the term ``Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration'' or the acronym
``PHMSA.''
Section 385.4. In this section, FMCSA removes the name ``Mr. Thomas
Kelly'' and adds the title ``Chief, Compliance Division'' in its place.
This change makes clear that any questions should be addressed to the
current Chief of the Compliance Division. Paragraph (b) is changed to
correct a typographical error in the address.
Part 386
Sections 386.2, 386.7, and 386.8. As part of a reorganization in
DOT, the Docket Management Facility was renamed Docket Operations.
FMCSA corrects Sec. Sec. 386.2, 386.7, and 386.8 to be consistent with
the official title used by the facility. In the definition of
``Dockets'' in Sec. 386.2, the run-in, italic heading is changed to
read ``Docket Operations.'' The address in Sec. 386.7 is changed from
``Department of Transportation Docket Management Facility'' to
``Department of Transportation Docket Operations.'' In Sec.
386.8(c)(2), the name of the facility is changed from ``Dockets'' to
``Docket Operations.''
Section 386.11. The Agency updates the title of the office in
paragraph (a) to read ``Director, Office of Carrier, Driver, and
Vehicle Safety Standards (MC-PS)'' to reflect current usage and makes
editorial changes to paragraph (b) for consistency.
Section 386.13. Paragraph (a)(5) is changed to clarify that the
information in the paragraph refers to a petition and not a reply. In
addition, the cross reference is changed from ``Sec. 386.31'' to
``Sec. 386.6(c)'' because on May 18, 2005, former Sec. 386.31 was
superseded by Sec. 386.6 (70 FR 28480).
Section 386.22. In paragraphs (d) and (e), the comma following
``reject it'' is removed to correct a typographical error and to be
consistent with Sec. 386.22(c).
Section 386.48. The Agency updates the title of the office to read
``Director, Office of Carrier, Driver, and Vehicle Safety Standards
(MC-PS)'' to reflect current usage.
Section 386.51. In paragraph (a), the word ``anytime'' is changed
to read ``any time'' to correct a typographical error and to be
consistent with Sec. 386.51(b).
Section 386.72. In paragraph (b)(3), the Agency adds a reference to
``employee'' to the definition of ``imminent hazard'' to reflect the
wording of the statute at 49 U.S.C. 521(b)(5)(B).
Section 386.73. Paragraph (g)(8)(iii) is amended by replacing the
reference to ``(g)(5)'' with ``(g)(7),'' the correct reference to the
30-day period for review of a petition. This cross reference was
incorrect when the section was added April 26, 2012 (77 FR 24870).
Section 386.83. Section 386.83 contains a reference to 49 CFR part
386 Appendix A (h) that was not updated after that paragraph was re-
numbered. This rule corrects that so that it properly references 49 CFR
part 386 Appendix A (i).
Part 387
Sections 387.5 and 387.29. The word ``means'' is inserted between
the term being defined and the definition for several terms defined in
these sections. This change provides added clarity and readability, and
conforms to other sections throughout the CFR.
Sections 387.307, 387.315, and 387.409. Each instance of the terms
``state'' and ``federal'' are capitalized in these sections, to be
consistent with the Government Printing Office style.\5\ In Sec.
387.307, paragraph (d)(1), the term ``subsection (a)'' after the phrase
``. . . full security limits under. . .'' is replaced by the phrase
``paragraph (a) of this section,'' to conform to Office of the Federal
Register style.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ ``Style Manual,'' 2000, chapter 4.
\6\ ``Document Drafting Handbook,'' page 2-45.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 389
Section 389.25. Section 389.25 is revised to correct typographical
and grammatical errors. The phrase ``or example'' is replaced by the
phrase ``For example''. Also, the word ``to'' is inserted between the
words ``. . . minutes are kept, or'' and ``participate in any other
proceeding. . . .''
Part 390
Section 390.3. In paragraph (f)(1), the list of exceptions is
amended to include Sec. 391.15(e), Disqualification for violation of
prohibition of texting while driving a commercial motor vehicle, and
Sec. 391.15(f), Disqualification for violation of a restriction on
using a hand-held mobile telephone while driving a commercial motor
vehicle. The first citation (Sec. 391.15(e)) was originally included
in the September 25, 2010, texting final rule (75 FR 59118). When the
paragraph was revised by the cell phone rule to add that exception in
Sec. 391.15(f) on December 2, 2011 (76 FR 75470), Sec. 391.15(e)--the
texting rule disqualification--was inadvertently omitted from the list
of exceptions. Also, paragraph (f)(6) is amended to include an
additional exception (Sec. 391.15(e)) for the texting provisions. This
citation was included in the 2010 texting final rule, but inadvertently
removed by the 2011 cell phone rule.
Section 390.5. In the definition of ``Bus,'' the phrase ``and or
used'' is
[[Page 58474]]
changed to ``and/or used'' to correct a typographical error.
Section 390.19. The section heading is changed to correspond to the
entities listed in paragraph Sec. 390.19(a)(2) required to submit Form
MCS-150B to the Agency. The new heading reads ``Sec. 390.19 Motor
carrier, hazardous material safety permit applicant/holder, and
intermodal equipment provider identification reports.''
Section 390.21. In paragraph (e)(2)(iv), the word ``part'' is
inserted between the words ``CFR'' and ``376,'' to conform to Office of
the Federal Register style.\7\ Also, in paragraph (g)(4)(iii), the
acronyms ``SCAC'' and ``VIN'' are used, but they not defined until
Sec. 390.21(g)(4)(v)(A). For clarity, the acronyms SCAC and VIN are
spelled out in Sec. 390.21(g)(4)(iii) as follows: ``Standard Carrier
Alpha Code (SCAC)'' and ``Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)'' the
first time they are used, but the acronyms alone are used in paragraph
(g)(4)(v)(A).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ ``Document Drafting Handbook,'' page 2-45.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 390.40. In paragraph (f), the reference to ``Sec. 396.12''
is replaced with a reference to ``Sec. 396.3(b)(3),'' which is the
correct citation for records of inspection, repair and maintenance.
Also, paragraph (j) included a reference to Sec. 386.72(b)(1), which
is incorrect because the definition of ``imminent hazard'' is no longer
contained in that paragraph. Thus, in paragraph (j) of Sec. 390.40,
the reference to ``Sec. 396.72(b)(1)'' is removed and replaced with a
reference to ``Sec. 396.72(b)(3).
Section 390.107. In the introductory text of Sec. 390.107, the
comma is removed between the word ``* * * in'' and the phrase
``accordance with the minimum specifications * * *'' to correct a
typographical error.
Part 391
Section 391.2. In paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of Sec. 391.2, the
references to ``Sec. 391.15(e) and (g)'' are removed and replaced with
references to ``Sec. 391.15(e) and (f),'' to correct a typographical
error. Section 391.2 was revised and Sec. 391.15(f) was added on
December 2, 2011 (76 FR 75487), with this incorrect cross reference.
There has never been a Sec. 391.15(g).
Section 391.15. In paragraph (c)(1)(ii), the reference to ``Sec.
395.2(a)'' is removed and replaced with a reference to ``Sec. 395.2,''
to correct a typographical error. Because it is a definitions section,
Sec. 395.2 is arranged alphabetically, rather than by paragraphs.
Also, in paragraph (c)(1)(ii), the semicolon is removed following the
phrase ``* * * or foreign commerce'' and replaced with a period, to
correct a typographical error and to be consistent with other instances
in this section.
Section 391.47. In paragraphs (c), (d)(1) and (d)(2), and (f), the
phrase ``Director of Bus and Truck Operations (MC-PSDPSD)'' is changed
to correctly refer to the position title and mail routing symbol,
respectively, as ``Director, Office of Carrier, Driver and Vehicle
Safety Standards (MC-PS).''
Section 391.49. In paragraphs (g), (h), (j)(1), (j)(2), and (k),
the phrase ``Division Administrator/'' is added before the words
``State Director'' in each instance the term is used. As noted
previously, except for the Puerto Rico Division, the head of each FMCSA
State office is the Division Administrator.
Section 391.65. In paragraphs (a) introductory text, (a)(1),
(a)(2), (a)(2)(i), (a)(2)(ii), (a)(2)(iii), and the certification
statement in (a)(2)(vii), the words ``regularly employed'' or
variations of that phrase are replaced by the words ``single-employer
driver'' or variations of that phrase. The reference in paragraph
(a)(2)(iii) to the definition of a regularly employed driver in Sec.
390.5 is no longer correct. The definition of ``regularly employed
driver'' has been replaced by the definition of ``single-employer
driver'' (see 63 FR 33276, June 18, 1998).
Part 393
Section 393.3. The negative implications in Sec. 393.3--that
additional equipment or accessories that reduce operation safety are
prohibited--is re-phrased as an affirmative prohibition.
Section 393.11. In Footnote 12, the reference to ``Sec. 392-
22(a)'' is replaced by a reference to ``Sec. 392.22(a).'' In Footnote
15(l), the reference to ``Section 393.11'' is replaced by a reference
to ``Sec. 393.11.'' These changes correct a typographical error and
conform the footnotes to Office of the Federal Register style.\8\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 393.49. In paragraph (a), the word ``busses'' is replaced
with the word ``buses,'' to correct a typographical error.
Subpart E of Part 393. FMCSA removes the outdated authority
citation for subpart E--Fuel Systems, which follows the subpart
heading. The authority citation for part 393 adequately covers subpart
E.
Section 393.67. In paragraphs (a)(2) and (a)(3), the reference to
``paragraph (c)(7)(iii)'' is replaced with a reference to ``paragraph
(c)(7)(ii),'' which is the correct citation for diesel fuel tanks. In
paragraph (c)(9), the word ``systems test'' is replaced with the words
``system test'' to correct a typographical error.
Section 393.71. In paragraph (h)(7), the words ``Tow-bars of such
design on in our condition as to permit . . .'' are replaced with the
words ``Tow-bars of such design or in such condition as to permit . .
.'' to correct typographical errors. FMCSA removes the authority
citation at the end of Sec. 393.71 because it is outdated and because
the authority citation for part 393 accurately describes the authority
for the section.
Section 393.77. Paragraph ``(b)(15)(i) Exception'' is redesignated
as ``(c) Exception'' to maintain alphabetical continuity with paragraph
``(b) Heater,'' the preceding paragraph.
Section 393.95. In paragraph (j), the words ``See Sec. 393.7(c)''
are replaced with the words ``See Sec. 393.7'' to correct the
reference to matters or material incorporated by reference.
Section 393.102. In paragraph (b), the reference to ``Sec.'' in
``Sec. 393.106(b)'' is replaced with the section symbol (Sec. ), to
read ``Sec. 393.106(b).'' In paragraph (c), the quotation mark ('')
following the words ``if the cargo is'' is replaced with a colon (:) to
correct a typographical error.
Section 393.118. In paragraph (d)(3)(iv)(B)(2)(i), the word
``about'' between the words ``6 feet'' and ``the deck'' is replaced
with the word ``above'' to correct a typographical error. Also,
paragraph (d)(5) is redesignated as paragraph (e), since the content in
paragraph (d)(5) is not included within the scope of ``securement of
bundles transported using more than one tier.''
Section 393.120. In the italic, run-in headings of paragraphs (b),
(c), and (d), the words ``in an'' are added after the words ``. . . in
a sided vehicle or'' and before the words ``intermodal container.'' In
paragraph (b)(1)(iv), the words ``must be used'' are removed. In the
introductory text of paragraph (b)(2), the word ``the'' is removed
after the words ``longitudinal row,'' and, in its place, is added the
word ``then.'' In paragraph (d)(1)(v), the comma is removed between the
words ``Either blocking'' and ``or friction mats.'' In the last
sentence of paragraph (d)(3)(iv), the extraneous phrase ``he forward
direction.'' is deleted to correct a typographical error.
Section 393.124. The paragraph that follows Sec. 393.124(d)(5)(vi)
is redesignated from paragraph ``(a)'' to paragraph ``(e).'' Currently,
the paragraph is mislabeled as paragraph (a). In newly redesignated
paragraph (e)(2)(ii)(B), the period at the end of the paragraph is
replaced with a semicolon. In paragraph (f)(2)(i), the period at the
[[Page 58475]]
end of the paragraph is removed and replaced with a semicolon.
Section 393.136. In paragraph (b)(2), the words ``hard wood'' are
replaced with the word ``hardwood'' to correct a typographical error.
Section 393.203. In paragraph (a), the word ``exist'' is replaced
with the word ``exit'' to correct a typographical error.
Part 395
Section 395.1. On August 25, 2005, the Agency modified
substantially the sleeper berth regulations in Sec. 395.1(g) (70 FR
50071). Among other things, the 2005 sleeper berth provisions referred
to the 11- and 14-hour limits, which do not apply in Alaska.
Inadvertently, FMCSA did not include alternative Alaska limits in that
rulemaking. As a result, the current sleeper berth rules say that
drivers can drive only 11 hours in a 14-hour window, while Alaska
drivers can drive 15 hours in a non-consecutive 20-hour window. This
rulemaking corrects that oversight by adding the alternative limits for
Alaska drivers to Sec. 395.1(g).
The title of paragraph (m) in Sec. 395.1, ``Construction materials
and equipment,'' is italicized to stylistically conform to the titles
of the other paragraphs in that section.
Section 395.3. Paragraph (d), dealing with the once-a-week limit on
restarting the 60- and 70-hour rules, is amended to include references
to a weekly limit on restarting the special 70- and 80-hour rules
effective in Alaska.
Section 395.8. In the note to paragraph (c), the word ``nerest'' is
replaced by the word ``nearest,'' and in paragraph (f)(11) ``ff duty''
is replaced by ``off duty'' to correct typographical errors.
Part 396
Section 396.9. In paragraph (c)(1), the phrase ``out-of-Service
Vehicle sticker'' is replaced by the phrase ``Out-of-Service Vehicle
sticker,'' to correct a typographical error.
Section 396.11. Section 396.11 is amended to correct grammatical
errors. In paragraph (a)(1)(xi), the semicolon at the end of the
paragraph is replaced by a period. In paragraph (b)(1)(ix), a period is
added at the end of the paragraph. In paragraph (b)(2)(ix), the
semicolon at the end of the paragraph is replaced by a period. In
paragraph (b)(2)(iv)(B), a period is added at the end of the paragraph.
Section 396.15. In paragraphs (b) and (c), the word ``towbar'' is
replaced by the word ``tow-bar'' to correct a typographical error.
Part 397
Section 397.65. Under the definition of ``Indian tribe,'' the
symbol (Sec. ) that precedes the section number of the statute is
replaced by the term ``section,'' to conform to Government Printing
Office style.\9\ The definition of ``Radioactive material'' is updated
to reflect changes to the definition of the ``radioactive material'' as
defined in 49 CFR 173.403. This definition was revised on January 26,
2004 (69 FR 3670).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ ``Style Manual,'' 9.39.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sections 397.67, 397.69, and 397.71. These three paragraphs are
amended to correct certain grammatical errors. In the introductory text
of Sec. 397.67(b), the phrase ``a NRHM routing designations,'' is
replaced by the phrase ``NRHM routing designations.'' In Sec. 397.67
(d), the word ``or'' is added after the words ``Division 1.1, 1.2''.
The Agency corrects Sec. 397.69(b) and Sec. 397.71(b)(6), (b)(9)(i),
and (b)(9)(iv) by replacing the words ``a NRHM'' with the words ``an
NRHM'' wherever they appear. In addition, in Sec. 397.71(b)(2)(ii),
the word ``their'' following ``. . . the public will be afforded the
opportunity to present'' is replaced by the word ``its.''
Section 397.73. In paragraph (a), the reference to ``Section 2B-
43'' is replaced by a reference to ``Section 2B-62,'' to reflect
revisions in the updated ``Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.''
\10\ In paragraph (b), the phrase ``their jurisdictions'' following ``.
. . shall provide information identifying all NRHM routing designations
which exist within'' is replaced by the phrase ``its jurisdiction'' to
correct a grammatical error.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ The ``Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices,''
published by the Federal Highway Administration, is available from:
https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/pdfs/2009r1r2/pdf_index.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 397.101. In paragraph (d), the words ``shall prepared'' are
replaced by the words ``shall prepare'' to correct a typographical
error. The introductory text to paragraph (g) is clarified to correctly
refer the reader to 49 CFR 173.403 instead of 49 CFR 173.401(l) for the
definition of a ``Highway route controlled quantity'' of a radioactive
material. This corrects a misprint.
Section 397.201. In paragraph (c), under the definition of
``Administrator,'' the phrase ``Federal Highway Administrator'' is
replaced by ``Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrator'' to comply
with the intent of the technical changes rule published in the Federal
Register on October 1, 2001 (66 FR 49867).
Section 397.213. In paragraph (b)(4), the phrase ``subdivision
thereof, our Indian tribe'' is replaced by the phrase ``subdivision
thereof or Indian tribe'' to correct a typographical error.
Appendix G to Subchapter B of Chapter III
FMCSA changes Appendix G to Subchapter B of Chapter III in multiple
places to conform to Office of the Federal Register style.\11\ Under
``5. Lighting Devices,'' the term ``Section'' in the reference to
``Section 393'' is replaced with ``part.'' In subparagraph a(9), under
``10. Tires,'' the reference to ``393.75(e)'' is replaced with a
reference to ``Sec. 393.75(e).'' Under ``12. Windshield Glazing,'' the
reference to ``393.60'' is replaced with ``Sec. 393.60.'' In addition,
under the heading, ``Differences Between the Out-of-Service Criteria &
FMCSA's Annual Inspection,'' the Agency makes all the following
changes. Under the heading ``3. Exhaust System,'' in both instances in
which the term ``Section'' is used to reference ``Section 393.83,''
that term is replaced with the section symbol (Sec. ). Under ``5.
Lighting Devices,'' the term ``Section'' in the reference to ``Section
393'' is replaced with ``part.'' Under ``9. Frame,'' the reference to
``393.201'' is replaced with ``Sec. 393.201.'' The reference to
``393.75'' under ``10. Tires,'' is replaced with ``Sec. 393.75.''
Under ``11. Wheel and Rims,'' the reference to ``393.205'' is replaced
with ``Sec. 393.205.'' Finally, under ``12. Windshield Glazing,'' the
reference to ``393.60'' is replaced with ``Sec. 393.60.''

Rulemaking Analyses
Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) and DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures
FMCSA has determined that this action is not a significant
regulatory action within the meaning of Executive Order 12866, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 18, 2011),
or within the meaning of the DOT regulatory policies and procedures (44
FR 1103, February 26, 1979). Thus, the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) did not review this document. We expect the final rule will have
minimal, if any, costs; therefore, a full regulatory evaluation is
unnecessary.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
In compliance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C.
601-612), FMCSA has evaluated the effects of this rule on small
entities. Because the rule only makes minor editorial corrections and
places no new
[[Page 58476]]
requirements on the regulated industry, I certify that this action will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
Assistance for Small Entities
In accordance with section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, FMCSA wants to assist small entities
in understanding this rule so that they can better evaluate its effects
on themselves and participate in the rulemaking initiative. If the rule
would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance; please consult the FMCSA point of contact,
Elaine Walls, listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this rule.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce or otherwise determine compliance with Federal
regulations to the Small Business Administration's Small Business and
Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small
Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these
actions annually and rates each agency's responsiveness to small
business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of FMCSA, call
1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247). DOT has a policy regarding the rights
of small entities to regulatory enforcement fairness and an explicit
policy against retaliation for exercising these rights.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The final rule will not impose an unfunded Federal mandate, as
defined by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1532, et
seq.), that will result in the expenditure by State, local and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $143.1
million (which is the value equivalent of $100,000,000 in 1995,
adjusted for inflation to 2010 levels) or more in any 1 year.
E.O. 13132 (Federalism)
A rule has implications for Federalism under section 1(a) of
Executive Order 13132 if it has ``substantial direct effects on the
States, on the relationship between national government and the States,
or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among various
levels of government.'' FMCSA has determined that this rule will not
have substantial direct effects on States, nor will it limit the
policymaking discretion of States. Nothing in this document preempts or
modifies any provision of State law or regulation, imposes substantial
direct unreimbursed compliance costs on any State, or diminishes the
power of any State to enforce its own laws. Accordingly, this
rulemaking does not have Federalism implications warranting the
application of E.O. 13132.
E.O. 12372 (Intergovernmental Review)
The regulations implementing E.O. 12372 regarding intergovernmental
consultation on Federal programs and activities do not apply to this
rule.
Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175 titled, ``Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments,'' because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
Paperwork Reduction Act
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they
conduct, sponsor, or require through regulations. FMCSA determined that
no new information collection requirements are associated with this
final rule.
National Environmental Policy Act and Clean Air Act
FMCSA analyzed this final rule for the purpose of ascertaining the
applicability of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and determined under our Environmental Procedures
Order 5610.1, issued March 1, 2004 (69 FR 9680), that this action would
not have any effect on the quality of the environment. In addition,
this final rule is categorically excluded from further analysis and
documentation under the Categorical Exclusion (CE) in paragraph 6(b) of
Appendix 2 of FMCSA Order 5610.1. This CE addresses minor editorial
corrections such as those addressed in this rulemaking; therefore
preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental impact
statement is not necessary.
The FMCSA also analyzed this rule under the Clean Air Act, as
amended (CAA), section 176(c) (42 U.S.C. 42 U.S.C. 7506(c)), and
implementing regulations promulgated by the Environmental Protection
Agency. Approval of this action is exempt from the CAA's general
conformity requirement since it does not affect direct or indirect
emissions of criteria pollutants.
E.O. 12898 (Environmental Justice)
This technical amendment final rule is not subject to Executive
Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). Executive Order 12898
establishes Federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main
provision directs Federal agencies, to make environmental justice part
of their mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate,
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects of their programs, policies, and activities on minority
populations and low-income populations in the United States. FMCSA
determined that this rule will not have disproportionately high and
adverse human health or environmental effects on minority or low-income
populations because it does not change the substance of any of the
FMCSRs.
E.O. 13211 (Energy Effects)
FMCSA has analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211 titled,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use.'' The Agency has determined that it is
not a ``significant energy action'' under that Executive Order because
it is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866 and is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the
supply, distribution, or use of energy. Therefore, no Statement of
Energy Effects is required.
E.O. 13045 (Protection of Children)
Executive Order 13045 titled, ``Protection of Children From
Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, Apr. 23,
1997), requires agencies issuing ``economically significant'' rules, if
the regulation also concerns an environmental health or safety risk
that an agency has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, to include an evaluation of the regulation's environmental
health and safety effects on children. As discussed previously, this
rule is not economically significant. Therefore, no analysis of the
impacts on children is required.
E.O. 12988 (Civil Justice Reform)
This action meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of E.O. 12988 titled, ``Civil Justice Reform,'' to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
[[Page 58477]]
E.O. 12630 (Taking of Private Property)
This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under E.O. 12630 titled, ``Governmental
Actions and Interference With Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.''
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (15 U.S.C. 272
note) requires Federal agencies proposing to adopt technical standards
to consider whether voluntary consensus standards are available. If the
Agency chooses to adopt its own standards in place of existing
voluntary consensus standards, it must explain its decision in a
separate statement to OMB. Because FMCSA does not intend to adopt
technical standards, there is no need to submit a separate statement to
OMB on this matter.
Privacy Impact Assessment
Section 522(a)(5) of the Transportation, Treasury, Independent
Agencies, and General Government Appropriations Act, 2005 (Pub. L. 108-
447, Division H, Title I, 118 Stat. 2809 at 3268, Dec. 8, 2004)
requires DOT and certain other Federal agencies to conduct a privacy
impact assessment of each rule that will affect the privacy of
individuals. Because this final rule will not affect the privacy of
individuals, FMCSA did not conduct a separate privacy impact
assessment.
