Court of Appeals for the appropriate

such rule or action. Parties with
objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in
response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action

Procedure for Adjudication of Small
Claims. Non-confidential filings may be
submitted in hard copy or as a Microsoft
Word or PDF attachment addressed to
secretary@fmc.gov. Confidential filings
must be accompanied by a transmittal
letter that identifies the filing as
‘‘confidential’’ and describes the nature
and extent of the confidential treatment
requested. Any comment that contains
confidential information must consist of
the complete filing and be marked by
the filer as ‘‘Confidential-Restricted,’’
with the material claimed to be
confidential clearly marked on each
page. The Commission will provide
confidential treatment to the extent
allowed by law for submissions, or parts
of submissions, for which the filer
requests confidentiality. A public
version must be submitted with the
confidential version if applicable.
Questions regarding filing or treatment
of confidential responses to this notice
should be directed to the Commission’s
Secretary, Karen V. Gregory, at the
telephone number or email provided in
this notice.
The Commission expects the
amendments to be noncontroversial as
they address the Commission’s internal
procedures. Therefore, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553, notice and comment are not
required and this rule may become
effective after publication in the Federal
Register unless the Commission
receives significant adverse comments
within the specified period. The
Commission recognizes that parties may
have information that could impact the
Commission’s views and intentions
with respect to the revised internal
procedures, and the Commission
intends to consider any comments filed.
The Commission will withdraw the rule
if it receives significant adverse
comments. Filed comments that are not
adverse may be considered for
modifications to part 502 at a future
date. If no significant adverse comment
is received, the rule will become
effective without additional action.
This direct final rule is not a ‘‘major
rule’’ under 5 U.S.C. 804(2). No notice
of proposed rulemaking is required;
therefore, the provisions of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601
et seq., do not apply.
Pursuant to Section 11(a) of the
Shipping Act of 1984 (46 U.S.C.
41301(a)), a person may file a complaint
with the Commission claiming a
violation of the Shipping Act of 1984
and may seek reparations for an injury
caused by the violation. With the
consent of both parties, claims in the
amount of $50,000 or less are decided
without the necessity of formal

The current rules provide that claims
less than $50,000 will be decided by a
Settlement Officer appointed by the
Commission’s Alternative Dispute
Resolution Specialist. The new rules
provide that claims in the amount of

Standard; Final Listing of 2015 Light
Duty Truck Lines Subject to the
Requirements of This Standard and
Exempted Vehicle Lines for Model Year
2015
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), U.S.
Department of Transportation.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This final rule announces
NHTSA’s determination that there are
no new model year (MY) 2015 light duty
truck lines subject to the parts-marking
requirements of the Federal motor
vehicle theft prevention standard
because they have been determined by
the agency to be high-theft or because
they have a majority of interchangeable
parts with those of a passenger motor
vehicle line. This final rule also
identifies those vehicle lines that have
been granted an exemption from the
parts-marking requirements because the
vehicles are equipped with antitheft
devices determined to meet certain
statutory criteria.
DATES: The amendment made by this
final rule is effective August 11, 2014.
