The public meeting will take place on Wednesday, February 12, 2014 from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. EDT. This is not a meeting of the full Advisory Committee. At its December 2013 session, UNCITRAL’s Working Group V (Insolvency) determined that, among its possible areas of future work, the recognition and enforcement of insolvency-derived judgments should be the top priority. The decision of the United Kingdom Supreme Court in Rubin v. Eurofinance SA highlighted the need for work on this topic, as the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency does not provide an explicit solution for cross-border harmonization, leading to significant uncertainty. The Working Group intends, at an appropriate time, to request a mandate from the UNCITRAL Commission to work on this topic, most likely by developing a supplement to the Model Law. Working Group V is also continuing its work on enterprise group insolvency issues. It plans to develop a set of model legislative provisions that would facilitate the cross-border insolvency of enterprise group members, addressing topics such as provision of access to foreign courts for foreign representatives and creditors of insolvency proceedings involving enterprise group members, provision of standing for group members to participate in the insolvency proceedings of other members, the use of synthetic proceedings, joint appointment of insolvency representatives for group members, and appropriate forms of relief. The Working Group also plans to continue discussing the responsibilities of corporate directors in the vicinity of insolvency, examining how such responsibilities should be applied in the context of enterprise groups. Finally, the Working Group also plans to discuss the insolvency of micro, small, and medium VerDate Mar<15>2010 21:50 Jan 22, 2014 Jkt 232001 enterprises (MSMEs); it will evaluate the guidance currently provided by the Legislative Guide on Insolvency and determine whether further work is merited (and whether any such work should take the form of legislative guidance or model legislative provisions). The purpose of the public meeting is to obtain the views of concerned stakeholders on all four of the above topics: (1) The recognition and enforcement of insolvency-derived judgments (i.e., what approach should be taken by model legislative provisions), (2) facilitating the crossborder insolvency of enterprise groups (i.e., what approach should be taken by model legislative provisions), (3) responsibilities of corporate directors in enterprise groups in the vicinity of insolvency (i.e., what approach should UNCITRAL take), and (4) MSME insolvency issues (i.e., whether further work is needed, and what form any such work should take). Those who cannot attend but wish to comment are welcome to do so by email to Tim Schnabel at SchnabelTR@state.gov. Time and Place: The meeting will take place from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. in Room 4835, Harry S Truman Building, 2201 C Street NW., Washington, DC 20520.

ACTION: Notice of application for exemption; request for comments. AGENCY: FMCSA requests public comment on an application for exemption from the International Window Film Association (IWFA) to allow the use of certain glazing in the windows that does not meet the light transmission requirements specified in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR). Section 393.60(d) of the FMCSRs currently permits windshields and to the immediate right and left of the driver windows to be tinted, as long as the light transmission is not restricted to less than 70 percent of normal. IWFA contends that since a reduction of light entering the truck cab interior will decrease not only available visible light but also scattered light, the exemption can significantly improve driver comfort and reduce eye strain while allowing films to be used that can also reduce the heat load of the interior environment, thus making the driver more comfortable as well as lowering energy use for cooling.
