Background On May 25, 2007, the President signed into law the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (the Act), (Pub. L. 110–28, 121 Stat. 112, 183, May 25, 2007). Section 6901 of the Act requires that certain actions be taken by the DOT as a condition of obligating or expending appropriated funds to grant authority to Mexico-domiciled motor carriers to operate beyond the municipalities in the United States on the United States-Mexico international border or the commercial zones of such municipalities (border commercial zones). On July 8, 2011, FMCSA announced in the Federal Register (76 FR 40420) its VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:14 Apr 09, 2014 Jkt 232001 intent to proceed with the initiation of a U.S.-Mexico cross-border long-haul trucking pilot program to test and demonstrate the ability of Mexicodomiciled motor carriers to operate safely in the United States beyond the border commercial zones as detailed in the Agency’s April 13, 2011, Federal Register notice (76 FR 20807). The pilot program is a part of FMCSA’s implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) crossborder long-haul trucking provisions in compliance with section 6901(b)(2)(B) of the Act. FMCSA reviewed, assessed, and evaluated the required safety measures as noted in the July 8, 2011, notice and considered all comments received on or before May 13, 2011, in response to the April 13, 2011, notice. Additionally, to the extent practicable, FMCSA considered comments received after May 13, 2011. In accordance with section 6901(b)(2)(B)(i) of the Act, FMCSA is required to publish in the Federal Register, and provide sufficient opportunity for public notice and comment comprehensive data and information on the Pre-Authorization Safety Audits (PASAs) conducted of motor carriers domiciled in Mexico that are granted authority to operate beyond the border commercial zones. This notice serves to fulfill this requirement. FMCSA is seeking public comment about the data and information relating to a PASA completed on January 14, 2014. FMCSA announces that the Mexico-domiciled motor carrier in Table 1 successfully completed the PASA. Notice of this completion was also published in the FMCSA Register. Tables 2, 3 and 4 (all titled ‘‘Successful Pre-Authorization Safety Audit (PASA) Information’’) set out additional information on the carrier(s) noted in Table 1. A narrative description of each column in the tables is provided as follows: A. Row Number in the Appendix for the Specific Carrier: The row number for each line in the tables. B. Name of Carrier: The legal name of the Mexico-domiciled motor carrier that applied for authority to operate in the United States (U.S.) beyond the border commercial zones and was considered for participation in the long-haul pilot program. C. U.S. DOT Number: The identification number assigned to the Mexico-domiciled motor carrier and required to be displayed on each side of the motor carrier’s power units. If granted provisional operating authority, the Mexico-domiciled motor carrier will be required to add the suffix ‘‘X’’ to the ending of its assigned U.S. DOT Number PO 00000 Frm 00102 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 for those vehicles approved to participate in the pilot program. D. FMCSA Register Number: The number assigned to the Mexicodomiciled motor carrier’s operating authority as found in the FMCSA Register. E. PASA Initiated: The date the PASA was initiated. F. PASA Completed: The date the PASA was completed. G. PASA Results: The results upon completion of the PASA. The PASA receives a quality assurance review before approval. The quality assurance process involves a dual review by the FMCSA Division Office supervisor of the auditor assigned to conduct the PASA and by the FMCSA Service Center designated for the specific FMCSA Division Office. This dual review ensures the successfully completed PASA was conducted in accordance with FMCSA policy, procedures and guidance. Upon approval, the PASA results are uploaded into the FMCSA’s Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS). The PASA information and results are then recorded in the Mexicodomiciled motor carrier’s safety performance record in MCMIS. H. FMCSA Register: The date FMCSA published notice of a successfully completed PASA in the FMCSA Register. The FMCSA Register notice advises interested parties that the application has been preliminarily granted and that protests to the application must be filed within 10 days of the publication date. Protests are filed with FMCSA Headquarters in Washington, DC. The notice in the FMCSA Register lists the following information: a. Current registration number (e.g., [MX–12345]); b. Date the notice was published in the FMCSA Register; c. The applicant’s name and address; and d. Representative or contact information for the applicant.

E:\FR\FM\10APN1.SGM 10APN1 sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 69 / Thursday, April 10, 2014 / Notices K. Passed Verification of 5 Elements (Yes/No): A Mexico-domiciled motor carrier will not be granted provisional operating authority if FMCSA cannot verify all of the following five mandatory elements. FMCSA must: a. Verify a controlled substances and alcohol testing program consistent with 49 CFR part 40. b. Verify a system of compliance with hours-of-service rules of 49 CFR part 395, including recordkeeping and retention; c. Verify the ability to obtain financial responsibility as required by 49 CFR part 387, including the ability to obtain insurance in the United States; d. Verify records of periodic vehicle inspections as required by 49 CFR part 396, and e. Verify the qualifications of each driver the carrier intends to use under such authority, as required by 49 CFR parts 383 and 391, including confirming the validity of each driver’s Licencia Federal de Conductor and English language proficiency. L. If No, Which Element Failed: If FMCSA cannot verify one or more of the five mandatory elements outlined in 49 CFR part 365, Appendix A, Section III, this column will specify which mandatory element(s) cannot be verified. Please note that for items L through P below, during the PASA, after verifying the five mandatory elements discussed in item K above, FMCSA will gather information by reviewing a motor carrier’s compliance with ‘‘acute and critical’’ regulations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs). Acute regulations are those where noncompliance is so severe as to require immediate corrective actions by a motor carrier regardless of the overall basic safety management controls of the motor carrier. Critical regulations are those where noncompliance relates to management and/or operational controls. These regulations are indicative of breakdowns in a carrier’s management controls. A list of acute and critical regulations is included in 49 CFR part 385, Appendix B, Section VII. Parts of the FMCSRs and HMRs having similar characteristics are combined together into six regulatory areas called ‘‘factors.’’ The regulatory factors are intended to evaluate the adequacy of a carrier’s management controls. VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:14 Apr 09, 2014 Jkt 232001 M. Passed Phase 1, Factor 1: A ‘‘yes’’ in this column indicates the carrier has successfully met Factor 1 (listed in part 365, Subpart E, Appendix A, Section IV(f)). Factor 1 includes the General Requirements outlined in parts 387 (Minimum Levels of Financial Responsibility for Motor Carriers) and 390 (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations—General). N. Passed Phase 1, Factor 2: A ‘‘yes’’ in this column indicates the carrier has successfully met Factor 2, which includes the Driver Requirements outlined in parts 382 (Controlled Substances and Alcohol Use and Testing), 383 (Commercial Driver’s License Standards; Requirements and Penalties) and 391 (Qualifications of Drivers and Longer Combination Vehicle (LCV) Driver Instructors). O. Passed Phase 1, Factor 3: A ‘‘yes’’ in this column indicates the carrier has successfully met Factor 3, which includes the Operational Requirements outlined in parts 392 (Driving of Commercial Motor Vehicles) and 395 (Hours of Service of Drivers). P. Passed Phase 1, Factor 4: A ‘‘yes’’ in this column indicates the carrier has successfully met Factor 4, which includes the Vehicle Requirements outlined in parts 393 (Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation) and 396 (Inspection, Repair and Maintenance) and vehicle inspection and out-of-service data for the last 12 months. Q. Passed Phase 1, Factor 5: A ‘‘yes’’ in this column indicates the carrier has successfully met Factor 5, which includes the hazardous material requirements outlined in parts 171 (General Information, Regulations, and Definitions), 177 (Carriage by Public Highway), 180 (Continuing Qualification and Maintenance of Packagings) and 397 (Transportation of Hazardous Materials; Driving and Parking Rules). R. Passed Phase 1, Factor 6: A ‘‘yes’’ in this column indicates the carrier has successfully met Factor 6, which includes Accident History. This factor is the recordable accident rate during the past 12 months. A recordable ‘‘accident’’ is defined in 49 CFR 390.5, and means an accident involving a commercial motor vehicle operating on a public road in interstate or intrastate commerce which results in a fatality; a bodily injury to a person who, as a result of the injury, immediately PO 00000 Frm 00103 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19967 received medical treatment away from the scene of the accident; or one or more motor vehicles incurring disabling damage as a result of the accident requiring the motor vehicle to be transported away from the scene by a tow truck or other motor vehicle. S. Number U.S. Vehicles Inspected: The total number of vehicles (power units) the motor carrier is approved to operate in the United States beyond the border commercial zones that received a vehicle inspection during the PASA. During a PASA, FMCSA inspected all power units to be used by the motor carrier in the pilot program and applied a current Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) inspection decal, if the inspection is passed successfully. This number reflects the vehicles that were inspected, irrespective of whether the vehicle received a CVSA inspection at the time of the PASA decal as a result of a passed inspection. T. Number U.S. Vehicles Issued CVSA decal: The total number of inspected vehicles (power units) the motor carrier is approved to operate in the United States beyond the border commercial zones that received a CVSA inspection decal as a result of an inspection during the PASA. U. Controlled Substances Collection: Refers to the applicability and/or country of origin of the controlled substance and alcohol collection facility that will be used by a motor carrier that has successfully completed the PASA. a. ‘‘US’’ means the controlled substance and alcohol collection facility is based in the United States. b. ‘‘MX’’ means the controlled substance and alcohol collection facility is based in Mexico. c. ‘‘Non-CDL’’ means that during the PASA, FMCSA verified that the motor carrier is not utilizing commercial motor vehicles subject to the commercial driver’s license requirements as defined in 49 CFR 383.5 (Definition of Commercial Motor Vehicle). Any motor carrier that does not operate commercial motor vehicles as defined in § 383.5 is not subject to DOT controlled substance and alcohol testing requirements. V. Name of Controlled Substances and Alcohol Collection Facility: Shows the name and location of the controlled substances and alcohol collection facility that will be used by a Mexicodomiciled motor carrier that has completed the PASA.

Petitions for sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: 1 In that docket, on February 28, 2014, BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) filed a verified notice of exemption under the Board’s class exemption procedures at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). The notice addressed an agreement in which Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) granted temporary local trackage rights to BNSF over UP’s lines extending between: (1) UP milepost 93.2 at Stockton, Cal., on UP’s Oakland Subdivision, and UP milepost 219.4 at Elsey, Cal., on UP’s Canyon Subdivision, a distance of approximately 126.2 miles, and (2) UP milepost 219.4 at Elsey, Cal., and UP milepost 280.7 at Keddie, Cal., on UP’s Canyon Subdivision, a distance of 61.3 miles. BNSF states that the trackage rights that were granted there are only temporary rights, but, because they are ‘‘local’’ rather than ‘‘overhead’’ rights, they do not qualify for the Board’s class exemption for temporary trackage rights at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(8).

Background

On May 25, 2007, the President signed into law the U.S. Troop
Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability
Appropriations Act, 2007 (the Act), (Pub. L. 110-28, 121 Stat. 112,
183, May 25, 2007). Section 6901 of the Act requires that certain
actions be taken by the DOT as a condition of obligating or expending
appropriated funds to grant authority to Mexico-domiciled motor
carriers to operate beyond the municipalities in the United States on
the United States-Mexico international border or the commercial zones
of such municipalities (border commercial zones).
On July 8, 2011, FMCSA announced in the Federal Register (76 FR
40420) its intent to proceed with the initiation of a U.S.-Mexico
cross-border long-haul trucking pilot program to test and demonstrate
the ability of Mexico-domiciled motor carriers to operate safely in the
United States beyond the border commercial zones as detailed in the
Agency's April 13, 2011, Federal Register notice (76 FR 20807). The
pilot program is a part of FMCSA's implementation of the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) cross-border long-haul trucking provisions
in compliance with section 6901(b)(2)(B) of the Act. FMCSA reviewed,
assessed, and evaluated the required safety measures as noted in the
July 8, 2011, notice and considered all comments received on or before
May 13, 2011, in response to the April 13, 2011, notice. Additionally,
to the extent practicable, FMCSA considered comments received after May
13, 2011.
In accordance with section 6901(b)(2)(B)(i) of the Act, FMCSA is
required to publish in the Federal Register, and provide sufficient
opportunity for public notice and comment comprehensive data and
information on the Pre-Authorization Safety Audits (PASAs) conducted of
motor carriers domiciled in Mexico that are granted authority to
operate beyond the border commercial zones. This notice serves to
fulfill this requirement.
FMCSA is seeking public comment about the data and information
relating to a PASA completed on January 14, 2014. FMCSA announces that
the Mexico-domiciled motor carrier in Table 1 successfully completed
the PASA. Notice of this completion was also published in the FMCSA
Register.
Tables 2, 3 and 4 (all titled ``Successful Pre-Authorization Safety
Audit (PASA) Information'') set out additional information on the
carrier(s) noted in Table 1. A narrative description of each column in
the tables is provided as follows:
A. Row Number in the Appendix for the Specific Carrier: The row
number for each line in the tables.
B. Name of Carrier: The legal name of the Mexico-domiciled motor
carrier that applied for authority to operate in the United States
(U.S.) beyond the border commercial zones and was considered for
participation in the long-haul pilot program.
C. U.S. DOT Number: The identification number assigned to the
Mexico-domiciled motor carrier and required to be displayed on each
side of the motor carrier's power units. If granted provisional
operating authority, the Mexico-domiciled motor carrier will be
required to add the suffix ``X'' to the ending of its assigned U.S. DOT
Number for those vehicles approved to participate in the pilot program.
D. FMCSA Register Number: The number assigned to the Mexico-
domiciled motor carrier's operating authority as found in the FMCSA
Register.
E. PASA Initiated: The date the PASA was initiated.
F. PASA Completed: The date the PASA was completed.
G. PASA Results: The results upon completion of the PASA. The PASA
receives a quality assurance review before approval. The quality
assurance process involves a dual review by the FMCSA Division Office
supervisor of the auditor assigned to conduct the PASA and by the FMCSA
Service Center designated for the specific FMCSA Division Office. This
dual review ensures the successfully completed PASA was conducted in
accordance with FMCSA policy, procedures and guidance. Upon approval,
the PASA results are uploaded into the FMCSA's Motor Carrier Management
Information System (MCMIS). The PASA information and results are then
recorded in the Mexico-domiciled motor carrier's safety performance
record in MCMIS.
H. FMCSA Register: The date FMCSA published notice of a
successfully completed PASA in the FMCSA Register. The FMCSA Register
notice advises interested parties that the application has been
preliminarily granted and that protests to the application must be
filed within 10 days of the publication date. Protests are filed with
FMCSA Headquarters in Washington, DC. The notice in the FMCSA Register
lists the following information:
a. Current registration number (e.g., [MX-12345]);
b. Date the notice was published in the FMCSA Register;
c. The applicant's name and address; and
d. Representative or contact information for the applicant.
The FMCSA Register may be accessed through FMCSA's Licensing and
Insurance public Web site at https://li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov/, and
selecting FMCSA Register in the drop down menu.
I. U.S. Drivers: The total number of the motor carrier's drivers
approved for long-haul transportation in the United States beyond the
border commercial zones.
J. U.S. Vehicles: The total number of the motor carrier's power
units approved for long-haul transportation in the United States beyond
the border commercial zones.

[[Page 19967]]

K. Passed Verification of 5 Elements (Yes/No): A Mexico-domiciled
motor carrier will not be granted provisional operating authority if
FMCSA cannot verify all of the following five mandatory elements. FMCSA
must:
a. Verify a controlled substances and alcohol testing program
consistent with 49 CFR part 40.
b. Verify a system of compliance with hours-of-service rules of 49
CFR part 395, including recordkeeping and retention;
c. Verify the ability to obtain financial responsibility as
required by 49 CFR part 387, including the ability to obtain insurance
in the United States;
d. Verify records of periodic vehicle inspections as required by 49
CFR part 396, and
e. Verify the qualifications of each driver the carrier intends to
use under such authority, as required by 49 CFR parts 383 and 391,
including confirming the validity of each driver's Licencia Federal de
Conductor and English language proficiency.
L. If No, Which Element Failed: If FMCSA cannot verify one or more
of the five mandatory elements outlined in 49 CFR part 365, Appendix A,
Section III, this column will specify which mandatory element(s) cannot
be verified.
Please note that for items L through P below, during the PASA,
after verifying the five mandatory elements discussed in item K above,
FMCSA will gather information by reviewing a motor carrier's compliance
with ``acute and critical'' regulations of the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs).
Acute regulations are those where noncompliance is so severe as to
require immediate corrective actions by a motor carrier regardless of
the overall basic safety management controls of the motor carrier.
Critical regulations are those where noncompliance relates to
management and/or operational controls. These regulations are
indicative of breakdowns in a carrier's management controls. A list of
acute and critical regulations is included in 49 CFR part 385, Appendix
B, Section VII.
Parts of the FMCSRs and HMRs having similar characteristics are
combined together into six regulatory areas called ``factors.'' The
regulatory factors are intended to evaluate the adequacy of a carrier's
management controls.
M. Passed Phase 1, Factor 1: A ``yes'' in this column indicates the
carrier has successfully met Factor 1 (listed in part 365, Subpart E,
Appendix A, Section IV(f)). Factor 1 includes the General Requirements
outlined in parts 387 (Minimum Levels of Financial Responsibility for
Motor Carriers) and 390 (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations--
General).
N. Passed Phase 1, Factor 2: A ``yes'' in this column indicates the
carrier has successfully met Factor 2, which includes the Driver
Requirements outlined in parts 382 (Controlled Substances and Alcohol
Use and Testing), 383 (Commercial Driver's License Standards;
Requirements and Penalties) and 391 (Qualifications of Drivers and
Longer Combination Vehicle (LCV) Driver Instructors).
O. Passed Phase 1, Factor 3: A ``yes'' in this column indicates the
carrier has successfully met Factor 3, which includes the Operational
Requirements outlined in parts 392 (Driving of Commercial Motor
Vehicles) and 395 (Hours of Service of Drivers).
P. Passed Phase 1, Factor 4: A ``yes'' in this column indicates the
carrier has successfully met Factor 4, which includes the Vehicle
Requirements outlined in parts 393 (Parts and Accessories Necessary for
Safe Operation) and 396 (Inspection, Repair and Maintenance) and
vehicle inspection and out-of-service data for the last 12 months.
Q. Passed Phase 1, Factor 5: A ``yes'' in this column indicates the
carrier has successfully met Factor 5, which includes the hazardous
material requirements outlined in parts 171 (General Information,
Regulations, and Definitions), 177 (Carriage by Public Highway), 180
(Continuing Qualification and Maintenance of Packagings) and 397
(Transportation of Hazardous Materials; Driving and Parking Rules).
R. Passed Phase 1, Factor 6: A ``yes'' in this column indicates the
carrier has successfully met Factor 6, which includes Accident History.
This factor is the recordable accident rate during the past 12 months.
A recordable ``accident'' is defined in 49 CFR 390.5, and means an
accident involving a commercial motor vehicle operating on a public
road in interstate or intrastate commerce which results in a fatality;
a bodily injury to a person who, as a result of the injury, immediately
received medical treatment away from the scene of the accident; or one
or more motor vehicles incurring disabling damage as a result of the
accident requiring the motor vehicle to be transported away from the
scene by a tow truck or other motor vehicle.
S. Number U.S. Vehicles Inspected: The total number of vehicles
(power units) the motor carrier is approved to operate in the United
States beyond the border commercial zones that received a vehicle
inspection during the PASA. During a PASA, FMCSA inspected all power
units to be used by the motor carrier in the pilot program and applied
a current Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) inspection decal,
if the inspection is passed successfully. This number reflects the
vehicles that were inspected, irrespective of whether the vehicle
received a CVSA inspection at the time of the PASA decal as a result of
a passed inspection.
T. Number U.S. Vehicles Issued CVSA decal: The total number of
inspected vehicles (power units) the motor carrier is approved to
operate in the United States beyond the border commercial zones that
received a CVSA inspection decal as a result of an inspection during
the PASA.
U. Controlled Substances Collection: Refers to the applicability
and/or country of origin of the controlled substance and alcohol
collection facility that will be used by a motor carrier that has
successfully completed the PASA.
a. ``US'' means the controlled substance and alcohol collection
facility is based in the United States.
b. ``MX'' means the controlled substance and alcohol collection
facility is based in Mexico.
c. ``Non-CDL'' means that during the PASA, FMCSA verified that the
motor carrier is not utilizing commercial motor vehicles subject to the
commercial driver's license requirements as defined in 49 CFR 383.5
(Definition of Commercial Motor Vehicle). Any motor carrier that does
not operate commercial motor vehicles as defined in Sec. 383.5 is not
subject to DOT controlled substance and alcohol testing requirements.
V. Name of Controlled Substances and Alcohol Collection Facility:
Shows the name and location of the controlled substances and alcohol
collection facility that will be used by a Mexico-domiciled motor
carrier that has completed the PASA.

In an effort to provide as much information as possible for review,
the application and PASA results for this carrier are posted at the
Agency's Web site for the pilot program at https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/intl-programs/trucking/Trucking-Program.aspx. For carriers that
participated in the Agency's demonstration project that ended in 2009,
copies of the previous PASA and compliance review, if conducted, are
also posted. All documents were redacted so that personal information
regarding the drivers is not released. Sensitive business information,
such as the carrier's tax identification number, is also redacted. In
response to previous comments received regarding the PASA notice
process, FMCSA also posted copies of the vehicle inspections conducted
during the PASA in the PASA document.
IDLA is a Mexico-domiciled motor carrier based in Tijuana, Baja
California del Norte, Mexico. The applicant is not currently registered
as an OP-2 commercial zone carrier. The applicant has no history in the
Demonstration Project. The applicant does not have any existing
inspections or SMS scores.
A list of the carrier's vehicles approved by FMCSA for use in the
pilot program is also available at the above referenced Web site. IDLA
will be operating a vehicle that is less than 26,001 pounds. Therefore,
IDLA is not subject to controlled substances and alcohol testing
requirements found in 49 CFR part 40 and Part 382.
In its application, IDLA acknowledged an affiliation with Hector
Serrano Lee dba Importaciones y Distribuciones Latina America Gami, a
U.S.-domiciled motor carrier with USDOT number 1983616 and MC number
702408. The affiliated motor carrier, Hector Serrano Lee, has no
identified safety issues, and no Safety Measurement System scores at or
above alert thresholds as of February 21, 2014. Hector Serrano Lee has
no enforcement history with FMCSA.
