Please note that comments submitted
in response to this Notice are public
record. Before including any detailed
personal information, you should be
aware that your comments as submitted,
including your personal information,
will be available for public review.
Abstract of proposed collection: The
purpose of the DS–5528 is to document
the evacuation of persons from abroad
when their lives are endangered by war,
civil unrest, or natural disaster,
document issuance of a crisis
evacuation loan, obtain a Privacy Act
waiver to share information about the
welfare of a U.S. citizen or lawful
permanent resident consistent with the
Privacy Act of 1974, and to facilitate
debt collection.
Methodology: An electronic version of
the Evacuee Manifest and Promissory
Note was created, allowing applicants to
type their information into the form,
print it, and present it to a consular
officer at the evacuation point.
Continued software development will
provide the capability to electronically
submit loan applications for
adjudication. The final-stage of software
development will not only allow the
applicant to enter his/her information
and submit the form, the information
will also be made available for all stages
of financial processing including the
Department of State’s debt collection
process. Due to the potential for serious
conditions during crisis events that
often affect electronic and internet
infrastructure systems, the electronic
form will not replace the paper form.
Rather, the paper form will still be
maintained and used in the event that
applicants are unable to submit forms
electronically.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: State Right-of-Way Operations
Manuals.
Background: It is the responsibility of
each State Department of Transportation
(State) to acquire, manage and dispose
of real property in compliance with the
legal requirements of State and Federal
laws and regulations. Part of providing
assurance of compliance is to describe
in a right-of-way procedural (operations)
manual the organization, policies and
procedures of the State to such an extent
that these guide State employees, local
acquiring agencies, and contractors who
acquire and manage real property that is
used for a federally funded
transportation project. Procedural
manuals assure the FHWA that the
requirements of the Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act)
will be met. The State responsibility to
prepare and maintain an up-to-date
right-of-way procedural manual is set
out in 23 CFR 710.201(c). Due to the
amending of 23 CFR 710 regulations, a
lengthy and in-depth update of each
manual will be required. The revisions
are prompted by enactment of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:42 Apr 13, 2015
Jkt 235001
Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st
Century Act (MAP–21). The regulation
allows States flexibility in determining
how to meet the manual requirement.
This flexibility allows States to prepare
manuals in the format of their choosing,
to the level of detail necessitated by
State complexities. Each State decides
how it will provide service to
individuals and businesses affected by
Federal or federally-assisted projects,
while at the same time reducing the
burden of government regulation. States
are required to update manuals to reflect
changes in Federal requirements for
programs administered under Title 23
U.S.C. The State manuals may be
submitted to FHWA electronically or
made available by posting on the State
Web site.
Respondents: 52 State Departments of
Transportation, including the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico.
Frequency: A one-time collection due
to regulatory revisions. Then States
update their manuals on an annually
basis and certify every 5 years.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 225 hours per respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 225 hours for each of the 52 State
Departments of Transportation.
The total is 11,700 burden hours.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended;
and 49 CFR 1.48.

the Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC’s
(MBUSA) petition for an exemption of
the smart Line Chassis vehicle line in
accordance with 49 CFR part 543,
Exemption from Vehicle Theft
Prevention Standard. This petition is
granted because the agency has
determined that the antitheft device to
be placed on the line as standard
equipment is likely to be as effective in
reducing and deterring motor vehicle

541, Federal Motor Vehicle Theft
Prevention Standard (Theft Prevention
Standard).
DATES: The exemption granted by this
notice is effective beginning with the
2016 model year (MY).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Deborah Mazyck, Office of International
Policy, Fuel Economy, and Consumer
Programs, NHTSA, W43–443, 1200 New

20590. Ms. Mazyck’s phone number is
(202) 366–4139. Her fax number is (202)
493–2990.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a
petition dated December 17, 2014,
MBUSA requested an exemption from
the parts-marking requirements of the
Theft Prevention Standard for the
Mercedes-Benz smart Line Chassis
vehicle line beginning with MY 2016.
The petition requested an exemption
from parts-marking pursuant to 49 CFR
part 543, Exemption from Vehicle Theft
Prevention Standard, based on the
installation of an antitheft device as
standard equipment for the entire
vehicle line.
Under 49 CFR 543.5(a), a
manufacturer may petition NHTSA to
grant an exemption for one vehicle line
per model year. In its petition, MBUSA
provided a detailed description and
diagram of the identity, design, and
location of the components of the
antitheft device for the smart Line
Chassis vehicle line which includes the
smart fortwo vehicle. MBUSA stated
that its MY 2016 smart Line Chassis
vehicle line will be equipped with its
passive, transponder-based ignition
immobilizer (FBS III/FBS IV) antitheft
device and an access code-protected
locking system as standard equipment.
Key components of the immobilizer
antitheft device will include the
immobilizer, transmitter key, electronic
ignition starter switch control unit (EIS),
the body control module (ECM), and the
engine control module (ECU). MBUSA
stated that its immobilizer device is an
interlinked system of control units
which collectively perform the
immobilizer function. The interlinked
system includes the engine, EIS,
transmitter key, ECU and ECM
(including the fuel injection system)
which independently calculates and
matches a unique code. MBUSA stated
that it is impossible to read the code
from the vehicle in order to defeat the
system. If a relevant query from the
vehicle to the transmitter key is valid,
operation of the vehicle will be
authorized. MBUSA further stated that
it will offer an audible and visible alarm
