274 Winkler’s Creek Road, Boone, NC
28607, on behalf of a subrecipient,
AppalCART, to Watauga County, NC.
AppalCART, the transportation
authority serving all of Watauga County,
used the location as an administrative
and maintenance facility from 1981–
2013 (32 yrs). AppalCART can no longer
use the property because construction
on a new administrative and
maintenance facility was completed in
August 2013.
Watauga County will be utilizing the
property as a County maintenance
department. Watauga County is charged
with maintaining all county vehicles
and facilities, including snow removal.
This transfer would provide a number of
benefits to the county and its residents.
The site is more centrally located than
the current location of the County
maintenance department; the new
location would allow quicker and more
efficient dispatch of maintenance crews
for snow removal and other services to
County facilities. The interior space at
this property will allow maintenance
equipment and vehicles to be sheltered
and maintained indoors, saving them
from the wear currently experienced
due to the harsh climate of the area.
Also, the site and facilities have
adequate space for other county usage,
such as storage for other departments
and a possible impound lot for the
Sheriff’s Office. The transfer will allow
the property to be put to good use. The
County has agreed to ensure that this
use will be maintained for no less than
five (5) years.
DATES: Effective Date: Any Federal
agency interested in acquiring the
facility must notify the FTA Region IV
office of its interest no later than 30
days from the date of publication of the
Federal Register notice.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties should
notify the Regional Office by writing to
Yvette G. Taylor, Regional
Administrator, Federal Transit
Administration, 230 Peachtree NW.,
Suite 1400, Atlanta, GA 30303.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
49 U.S.C. 5334(h) provides guidance
on the transfer of capital assets.
Specifically, if a recipient of FTA
assistance decides an asset acquired
under this chapter at least in part with
that assistance is no longer needed for
the purpose for which it was acquired,
the Secretary of Transportation may
authorize the recipient to transfer the
asset to a local governmental authority
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
to be used for a public purpose with no
further obligation to the Government. 49
U.S.C. 5334(h)(1).
Determinations
The Secretary may authorize a
transfer for a public purpose other than
mass transportation only if the Secretary
decides:
(A) The asset will remain in public
use for at least 5 years after the date the
asset is transferred;
(B) There is no purpose eligible for
assistance under this chapter for which
the asset should be used;
(C) The overall benefit of allowing the
transfer is greater than the interest of the
Government in liquidation and return of
the financial interest of the Government
in the asset, after considering fair
market value and other factors; and
(D) Through an appropriate screening
or survey process, that there is no
interest in acquiring the asset for
Government use if the asset is a facility
or land.
Federal Interest in Acquiring Land or
Facility
This document implements the
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 5334(h)(1)(D)
of the Federal Transit Laws.
Accordingly, FTA hereby provides
notice of the availability of the facility
further described below. Any Federal
agency interested in acquiring the
affected facility should promptly notify
the FTA. If no Federal agency is
interested in acquiring the existing
facility, FTA will make certain that the
other requirements specified in 49
U.S.C. 5334(h)(1)(A) through (C) are met
before permitting the asset to be
transferred.
Additional Description of Land or
Facility
The subject property is identified as
parcel identification number 2910–23–
0273–000 by the Watauga County Tax
Supervisor’s office. The subject property
contains 1.549-acres improved with a
one-story metal & brick garage/office/
warehouse building and a one-story
brick equipment vehicle wash building,
both in fair condition. Site
improvements include asphalt
pavement, chain-link fencing, and
landscaping. The subject was formerly
used as an office and maintenance
facility for AppalCART, a public
transportation system serving Watauga
County. AppalCART moved to a new
facility in late 2013 and the subject
facilities are currently vacant. Public

regulatory requirement that interstate

commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers have ‘‘no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy
or any other condition which is likely
to cause loss of consciousness or any
loss of ability to control a CMV.’’ The
regulation and the associated advisory
criteria published in the Code of Federal
Regulations as the ‘‘Instructions for
Performing and Recording Physical
Examinations’’ have resulted in
numerous drivers being prohibited from
operating CMVs in interstate commerce
based on the fact that they have had one
or more seizures and are taking antiseizure medication, rather than an
individual analysis of their
circumstances by a qualified medical
examiner. The Agency concluded that
granting exemptions for these CMV
drivers will provide a level of safety that
is equivalent to or greater than the level
of safety maintained without the
exemptions. FMCSA grants exemptions
that will allow these 3 individuals to
operate CMVs in interstate commerce
for a 2-year period. The exemptions
preempt State laws and regulations and
may be renewed.
DATES: The exemptions are effective
March 31, 2015. The exemptions expire
on March 31, 2017.

B. Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315(b), FMCSA may grant an
exemption from the safety regulations
for a 2-year period if it finds ‘‘such
exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety that is equivalent to or greater
than the level that would be achieved
absent such exemption.’’ The statute
also allows the Agency to renew
exemptions at the end of the 2-year
period.
FMCSA grants 3 individuals an
exemption from the regulatory
requirement in section 391.41(b)(8), to
allow these individuals who take antiseizure medication to operate CMVs in
interstate commerce for a 2-year period.
The Agency’s decision on these
exemption applications is based on an
individualized assessment of each
applicant’s medical information,
including the root cause of the
respective seizure(s), the length of time
elapsed since the individual’s last
seizure, and each individual’s treatment
regimen. In addition, the Agency
reviewed each applicant’s driving
record found in the Commercial Driver’s
License Information System (CDLIS) 1
for commercial driver’s license (CDL)
holders, and interstate and intrastate
inspections recorded in Motor Carrier
Management Information System
(MCMIS).2 For non-CDL holders, the
Agency reviewed the driving records
from the State licensing agency. The
Agency acknowledges the potential
consequences of a driver experiencing a
seizure while operating a CMV.
However, the Agency believes the
drivers covered by the exemptions
granted here have demonstrated that
they are unlikely to have a seizure and
their medical condition does not pose a
risk to public safety.
In reaching the decision to grant these
exemption requests, the Agency
considered both current medical
literature and information and the 2007
recommendations of the Agency’s
Medical Expert Panel (MEP). The
Agency previously gathered evidence
for potential changes to the regulation at
49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) by conducting a
comprehensive review of scientific
literature that was compiled into the
