On July 5, 2013 FAA received a ‘‘Supplemental Analysis’’ from LAWA that supplemented their initial application. The FAA reviewed the Supplemental Analysis and determined it to be incomplete. Notice of this decision was sent to LAWA on August 2. The areas of Airport Noise Study Area and Noise Contours; Technical Data Supporting Noise Impact Analysis; and Cost—Benefit Analysis continued to be incomplete. On August 20, 2013 LAWA stated its intent to revise the Part 161 application and resubmit it to the FAA. On May 12, 2014, FAA received LAWA’s revised application. On May 22, LAWA submitted an errata sheet. On June 10, 2014, FAA determined LAWA’s application to be complete. ANCA establishes a 180 day review period for the application. Under 14 CFR 161.313(c)(4)(ii), the review period starts on the date of receipt of the last supplement to the application. Pursuant to 14 CFR 161.317, FAA may approve or disapprove, in whole or in part, the proposed restriction or any alternative restriction submitted by LAWA. This notice also announces the availability of the proposed airport access restriction for public review and invites interested parties to file comments to the FAA within 30 days after this notice is published in the Federal Register. FAA Action Under Part 161 Subpart D. FAA will review and render a decision on the restriction as a whole, including its impacts on aircraft operations that are not classified as Stage 3, at the time it issues its decision to approve or disapprove the application for a Stage 3 aircraft noise and access restriction submitted under Subpart D of Part 161. This review will include a determination on how the restriction proposal addresses other applicable Federal law and LAX’s grant assurances. The FAA’s evaluation will be conducted under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 161. FAA may approve the restriction only if it finds on the basis of substantial evidence that the following six statutory criteria are met. These six statutory conditions of approval are: Condition 1: The restriction is reasonable, nonarbitrary, and nondiscriminatory; Condition 2: The restriction does not create an undue burden or interstate or foreign commerce; Condition 3: The proposed restriction maintains safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace; Condition 4: The proposed restriction does not conflict with any existing Federal VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:30 Jun 26, 2014 Jkt 232001 statute or regulation; Condition 5: The applicant has provided adequate opportunity for public comment on the proposed restriction; and Condition 6: The proposed restriction does not create an undue burden on the national aviation system. Interested persons are invited to file comments to the FAA on the proposed restriction application. LAWA’s application is available on their Web site at: https://www.lawa.org/LAX Part161.aspx. Your comments should relate to the factors that Part 161 requires an airport sponsor to address in its application for restriction approval. All relevant comments received within the public comment period will be considered by FAA to the extent practicable before FAA makes its final decision on the application. Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Issued in Washington, DC on June 20, 2014. Frank J. San Martin, Acting Director, Office of Airport Planning and Programming.

Telephone: (202) 385–2367; email jeff.secrist@ dot.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) registers for-hire motor carriers under 49 U.S.C. 13902, surface freight forwarders under 49 U.S.C. 13903, and property brokers under 49 U.S.C. 13904. Each registration is effective from the date specified under 49 U.S.C. 13905(c). 49 CFR part 365.413: ‘‘Procedures for changing the name or business form of a motor carrier, freight forwarder, or property broker’’ states that carriers must submit a letter containing the required information to FMCSA’s Office of Registration and Safety Information (MC–RS), formerly sent to FMCSA’s IT Operations Division (MC–RIO), requesting the change; the new form would assist entities in reporting this information accurately and completely. 49 CFR 360.3(f) mentions fees that FMCSA collects for ‘‘petition for reinstatement of revoked operating authority,’’ but does not provide any specifics for the content that petition should take. For-hire motor carriers, brokers and freight forwarders are required to notify MC–RS when they change the name or address of the company. Currently, the name change request can be filed online through the Licensing and Insurance (L&I) Web site, or companies can fax or mail a letter requesting either name or address changes. Carriers can also request reinstatement of a revoked operating authority either via fax or online via the Licensing & Insurance (L&I) Web site. But many choose not to do so. About 40% of name changes and 60% of reinstatements are filed online. Of the rest, most are filed by faxing a request letter to MC–RS. All the address changes are received by either fax or mail. The information collected is then entered in the L&I database by FMCSA staff. This enables FMCSA to maintain up-to-date records so that the agency can recognize the entity in question in case of enforcement actions or other procedures required to ensure that the carrier is fit, willing and able to provide for-hire transportation services, and so that entities whose authority has been revoked can resume operation if they are not otherwise blocked from doing VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:30 Jun 26, 2014 Jkt 232001 so. But the current method of collecting the data means that many requests include incomplete data, and cannot be processed without additional follow-up efforts by both FMCSA staff and the entities. This multi-purpose form, therefore, would simplify the process of gathering the information needed to process the entities’ requests in a timely manner, with the least amount of effort for all parties involved. This multipurpose form would be filed by registrants on a voluntary, as-needed basis. This multi-purpose form could be put on the FMCSA Web site so entities could access and print/fax/email the form to MC–RS. Users may report the following data points (whichever are relevant to their records change request): 1. What are the legal/doing business as names of the entity/representative? 2. What is the contact information of entity/representatives (phone number, address, fax number, email address)? 3. What are the requested changes to name or address of entity? 4. What is the docket MC/MX/FX number of the entity? 5. What is the US DOT number of the entity? 6. Is there any change in ownership, management or control of the entity? 7. What kind of changes is the entity making to the company? 8. Which authority does the entity/ representative wish to reinstate, motor carrier or broker? 9. Does the entity/representative authorize the fee for the name change or reinstatement? 10. Does the entity/representative authorize the reinstatement of operating authority or name/address change? 11. What is the credit card information (name, number, expiration date, address, date) for the card used to pay the fee? Title: Motor Carrier Records Change Form. OMB Control Number: 2126–00XX. Type of Request: New collection. Respondents: For-hire motor carriers, brokers and freight forwarders. Estimated Number of Respondents: 22,300. Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes per response. Expiration Date: N/A. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 5,575 hours [22,300 annual responses × 0.25 hours = 5,575]. Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of PO 00000 Frm 00124 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 36579 the estimated burden; (3) ways for FMCSA to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information.

AGENCY: Notice of final disposition; grant of applications for exemptions. ACTION: FMCSA announces its decision to grant exemptions to Illumination Fireworks, LLC and ACE Pyro, LLC (the applicants) from the requirement that drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) must not drive following the 14th hour after coming on duty. The exemptions will apply solely to the operation of 50 CMV drivers employed by the applicants in conjunction with staging fireworks shows celebrating Independence Day during the periods June 28–July 8, 2014, inclusive. During this period, the CMV drivers employed by the applicants will be allowed to exclude off-duty and sleeper-berth time of any length from the calculation of the 14 hours. These drivers will not be allowed to drive after accumulating a total of 14 hours of onduty time, following 10 consecutive hours off duty, and would continue to be subject to the 11-hour driving time limit, and the 60- and 70-hour on-duty limits. The Agency has determined that the terms and conditions of the limited 1-year exemptions will ensure a level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety achieved without the exemptions.

    Background: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) 
registers for-hire motor carriers under 49 U.S.C. 13902, surface 
freight forwarders under 49 U.S.C. 13903, and property brokers under 49 
U.S.C. 13904. Each registration is effective from the date specified
