Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 109 / Friday, June 6, 2014 / Notices projects based on the types of projects (capital or operating) and/or types of subrecipients, e.g., non-profit, public entity, etc. Finally, one commenter asked if a current four-year coordinated plan is in place, could the plan be updated to meet the new MAP–21 requirements? FTA recognizes that some entities may need to modify existing coordinated plans to address the specific needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities and/or be approved by seniors and individuals with disabilities. Modifications to existing plans are acceptable. FTA has made clarifying edits to Chapter V to address the above comments. wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES F. Chapter VI—Program Management and Administrative Requirements The vast majority of comments received for Chapter VI related to the proposed reporting requirements. FTA had proposed meeting the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 5335(c) by combining all of the performance measure and asset inventory reporting requirements into a single requirement, and allow States and designated recipients to report on behalf of their subrecipients under a single, unified reporting system. While some commenters supported this approach, most commenters expressed concern that such reporting would be burdensome on small Section 5310 nonprofit providers. As discussed in the Chapter II summary, above, FTA is retaining the existing performance measures for the program (including the measures for the former New Freedom program) while we review comments received as a result of additional outreach with non-profit agencies. In addition, the National Transit Database (NTD) reporting requirement will only be effective after FTA conducts a rulemaking on this requirement. The remaining comments were related to vehicle use. One commenter asked that FTA define the word ‘‘incidental’’ and provide examples of permissible incidental use. Incidental use means occasional or infrequent use of vehicles that does not interfere with the project activities originally funded. Examples are provided in section 5, Vehicle Use, and include meal delivery as well as use for other Federal programs, as when the recipient is coordinating service with other entities that provide transportation for seniors or individuals with disabilities. Operating assistance available under Section 5310 may not be used for such incidental purposes. VerDate Mar<15>2010 13:59 Jun 05, 2014 Jkt 232001 G. Chapter VII—State and Program Management Plans FTA proposed only minor changes to Chapter VII, generally to address the change from a State-managed program to a program managed by designated recipients as well as States. FTA received one comment on this chapter. In section 1, General, the commenter asked FTA to be more specific about the State Management Plan and Program Management Plan contents that should be coordinated with the STIP and TIP. We have amended the language for clarity. We would note, however, that there is flexibility in the coordination of the STIP and the State Management Plan, as well as the TIP and the Program Management Plan. Each State and urbanized area has different needs and as such the management plan will be different; therefore, FTA has elected not to be too specific in what must be included in the management plan. H. Chapter VIII—Other Provisions This chapter describes cross-cutting FTA and Federal requirements that apply to the Section 5310 program. Two commenters suggested modifying the Title VI program requirements for Section 5310 subrecipients. FTA’s Title VI program circular states that Section 5310 non-profits that serve only their own clientele (closed door service) are required to submit a Title VI Program every three years, but it is a streamlined Program that includes only basic information. Interested stakeholders are invited to visit https://www.fta.dot.gov/ legislation_law/12349_14792.html and review page IV–1 of the Title VI circular. One commenter suggested that typical categorical exclusions be included in the Environmental Review section of this chapter. Operating assistance and most vehicle acquisitions will be categorically excluded, but many other capital projects may not be. We recommend recipients consult with their FTA regional office if they have specific questions related to environmental reviews. One commenter suggested that FTA include the human service transportation exception to the charter service prohibition in the circular. We have added this text to the section on Charter Bus Services. I. Appendices One commenter suggested that FTA remove the union contact information from the checklist in Appendix A, since labor protections do not apply to the Section 5310 program. We have made that change. We have not made any other substantive edits to the appendices. PO 00000 Frm 00121 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 32811 Issued in Washington, DC, 2nd day of June 2014. Dorval R.

VerDate Mar<15>2010 13:59 Jun 05, 2014 Jkt 232001 The MARAD TIGER project builds on currently permitted dredging and filling activities at the Masonville DMCF. It will result in the filling of a Wet Basin, development of 7.6 acres of new terminal, widening of the Seagirt Marine terminal access channel, expanding the existing rail yard at the Masonville Marine Terminal, and extending rail to the new Masonville vessel berth, located at the Port of Baltimore. The CEQ regulations allow Federal agencies, such as MARAD, to adopt environmental documents prepared by another Federal agency when the proposed actions are ‘‘substantially the same’’ and the adopting agency has concluded that the initial statement meets the standards for an adequate statement under the CEQ regulations. The CEQ regulations state that when the actions are substantially the same, ‘‘the agency adopting the agency’s statement is not required to recirculate it except as a final statement.’’ Further, CEQ’s regulations implementing NEPA strongly encourage agencies to reduce paperwork and duplication (40 CFR 1500.4). One of the methods identified by CEQ to accomplish this goal is adopting the environmental documents prepared by other agencies in appropriate circumstances (40 CFR 1500.4(n), 1500.5(h), and 1506.3). MARAD has conducted an independent review of the 2007 EIS for the purpose of determining whether MARAD could adopt it pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.3. MARAD’s review concluded that the proposed action is substantially the same as the action documented in the 2007 EIS, that the EIS adequately assessed the environmental impacts associated with the proposed improvements and meets the standards of the CEQ NEPA Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500 through1508. The final stage in the environmental review process under NEPA is the issuance of a Record of Decision by the agency describing the agency’s decision and the basis for it. Under the timelines included in the CEQ regulation (40 CFR 1506.10), a Record of Decision cannot be issued by an agency earlier than thirty days after the EPA publishes its Federal Register notice announcing to the public of the availability of the final EIS. Any Record of Decision issued by MARAD will be consistent with 40 CFR 1505.2 and MARAD’s Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: manufactured between June 18, 2009, and October 31, 2013. I. GM’s Petition Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49 CFR part 556), GM submitted a petition for an exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. This notice of receipt of GM’s petition is published under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petition. V. Summary of GM’s Analyses GM stated its belief that the subject noncompliances are inconsequential to motor vehicle safety for the following reasons: 1. GM stated that the tire and rim of the affected spare wheels are properly matched, and are appropriate for the load-carrying characteristics of the subject vehicles. The subject tire/rim assembly meets S4.4.1(b) rapid air loss requirement of FMVSS No. 110. The subject vehicles also met GM’s internal ride and handling guidelines with the subject spare tire/rim assembly installed. The incorrect association marking has no effect on the performance of the tire/rim combination. II. Vehicles Involved Affected are approximately 51,704 MY 2010–2014 GM Cadillac SRX PO 00000 Frm 00123 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 III. Noncompliance GM explains that the noncompliances are due to both an error in the spare rim marking, and that the tire and rim matching information is not contained in The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization (ETRTO) publication. The dimensions of the rims are consistent with the dimensions listed by ETRTO, and should have been marked ‘‘E’’ as required by FMVSS No. 110, S4.4.2(a). Due to the rim marking error, the rims were marked ‘‘T,’’ indicating The Tire and Rim Association, Inc. (T&RA), as a consequence some of the actual dimensions of the rims are inconsistent with the published nominal dimensions in the T&RA Year Book. In addition, the combination of T135/70R18 temporary spare tires and 18x4.5B rims is not listed in ETRTO, which is a noncompliance with FMVSS No. 109, S4.4.1(b). IV. Rule Text Paragraph S4.4.2 of FMVSS No. 110 requires in pertinent part: Each rim shall be marked with the information listed in S4.4.2(a) through (e) . . . (a) designation that indicates the source of the rim’s published nominal dimensions, as follows: (1) ‘‘T’’ indicates The Tire and Rim Association. (2) ‘‘E’’ indicates The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization . . . Paragraph S4.4.1 of FMVSS No. 109 requires in pertinent part: . . . a listing of the rims that may be used with each tire is provided to the public . . . in one of the following forms: (b) Contained in publications, current at the date of manufacture of the tire or any later date, of at least one of the following organizations: Tire and Rim Association, The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization, . . .

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Masonville Final Environmental Impact 
Statement (FEIS) was prepared to support a permit application by the 
MPA to the COE pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 
1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act for the construction of a 
DMCF. The FEIS presents a consolidation of State and Federal study 
findings, as well as an evaluation of the suitability of the Masonville 
site to help meet the 20-year Baltimore Harbor dredged material annual 
placement capacity needs. Potential impacts and site development 
issues, including the use of dredged material from the Seagirt dredging 
area, were investigated and documented. The Masonville DMCF was 
determined to be the preferred option from an environmental and 
engineering standpoint.
    The MARAD TIGER project builds on currently permitted dredging and 
filling activities at the Masonville DMCF. It will result in the 
filling of a Wet Basin, development of 7.6 acres of new terminal, 
widening of the Seagirt Marine terminal access channel, expanding the 
existing rail yard at the Masonville Marine Terminal, and extending 
rail to the new Masonville vessel berth, located at the Port of 
Baltimore.
    The CEQ regulations allow Federal agencies, such as MARAD, to adopt 
environmental documents prepared by another Federal agency when the 
proposed actions are ``substantially the same'' and the adopting agency 
has concluded that the initial statement meets the standards for an 
adequate statement under the CEQ regulations. The CEQ regulations state 
that when the actions are substantially the same, ``the agency adopting 
the agency's statement is not required to recirculate it except as a 
final statement.'' Further, CEQ's regulations implementing NEPA 
strongly encourage agencies to reduce paperwork and duplication (40 CFR 
1500.4). One of the methods identified by CEQ to accomplish this goal 
is adopting the environmental documents prepared by other agencies in 
appropriate circumstances (40 CFR 1500.4(n), 1500.5(h), and 1506.3). 
MARAD has conducted an independent review of the 2007 EIS for the 
purpose of determining whether MARAD could adopt it pursuant to 40 CFR 
1506.3. MARAD's review concluded that the proposed action is 
substantially the same as the action documented in the 2007 EIS, that 
the EIS adequately assessed the environmental impacts associated with 
the proposed improvements and meets the standards of the CEQ NEPA 
Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500 through1508.
    The final stage in the environmental review process under NEPA is 
the issuance of a Record of Decision by the agency describing the 
agency's decision and the basis for it. Under the timelines included in 
the CEQ regulation (40 CFR 1506.10), a Record of Decision cannot be 
issued by an agency earlier than thirty days after the EPA publishes 
its Federal Register notice announcing to the public of the 
availability of the final EIS. Any Record of Decision issued by MARAD 
will be consistent with 40 CFR 1505.2 and MARAD's Procedures for 
Considering Environmental Impacts.
    Accordingly, MARAD is adopting and recirculating the 2007 FEIS and 
has concluded that no supplemental or additional environmental review 
is required to support MARAD's proposed action.
