Petitions for Reconsideration Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Petitions for reconsideration. AGENCY: On March 11, 2015, PHMSA published a final rule amending the pipeline safety regulations to make miscellaneous changes that updated and clarified certain regulatory requirements. These amendments address several subject matter areas including the performance of postconstruction inspections, leak surveys of Type B onshore gas gathering lines, qualifying plastic pipe joiners, regulation of ethanol, transportation of pipe, filing of offshore pipeline condition reports, and calculation of pressure reductions for hazardous liquid pipeline anomalies. PHMSA has since received three petitions for reconsideration submitted by persons affected by the final rule. DATES: PHMSA received these petitions on April 10, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kay McIver, Transportation Specialist, by telephone at 202–366–0113, or by electronic mail at kay.mciver@dot.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS SUMMARY: I. Background On March 11, 2015, PHMSA published a final rule amending the pipeline safety regulations to make miscellaneous changes that updated and clarified certain regulatory requirements (80 FR 12762). These amendments addressed several subject matter areas including the performance of post- VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:37 Aug 05, 2015 Jkt 235001 construction inspections, leak surveys of Type B onshore gas gathering lines, qualifying plastic pipe joiners, regulation of ethanol, transportation of pipe, filing of offshore pipeline condition reports, and calculation of pressure reductions for hazardous liquid pipeline anomalies. PHMSA has since received three petitions for reconsideration submitted by persons affected by the final rule. Dates: On April 10, 2015, the American Gas Association (AGA), the American Public Gas Association, (APGA) and the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA) petitioned PHMSA for re-consideration to certain parts of the Miscellaneous Rule. In accordance with 49 CFR 190.335, PHMSA received three petitions from the APGA, the AGA and the INGAA asking for reconsideration to some portions of the Final Rule. APGA and AGA expressed concerns about the provisions of the Final Rule applicable to construction inspections. INGAA and AGA expressed concerns regarding provisions in the Final Rule applicable to components fabricated by welding. Section 190.337(b) states that it is the policy of the Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety to issue notice of the action on a petition for reconsideration within 90 days after the date on which the regulation in question is published in the Federal Register, unless it is found impracticable to take action within that time. Section 190.337(b) goes on to state that when it is impractical to take action within that time, that PHMSA will give notice of that fact and the date by which action is expected to be taken. Due to the complexities of the petitions, PHMSA is unable to complete the analyses and render a decision within the 90-day time frame. Therefore, in accordance with § 190.337(b), PHMSA anticipates acting on these three petitions by October 1, 2015. Issued in Washington, DC, on July 31, 2015, under authority delegated in 49 CFR 1.97. Jeffrey D. Wiese, Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety.

The central feature of this program is the Federal Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard, 49 CFR part 541. The standard specifies performance requirements for inscribing or affixing vehicle identification numbers (VINs) onto certain major original equipment and replacement parts of high-theft lines of passenger motor vehicles. NHTSA obtains, from the most reliable source, accurate and timely theft data, and publishes the data for review and comment in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 33104(b)(4). This document reports the preliminary theft data for CY 2013 the most recent mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:37 Aug 05, 2015 Jkt 235001 calendar year for which data are available. In calculating the 2013 theft rates, NHTSA followed the same procedures it has used since publication of the 1983/ 1984 theft rate data (50 FR 46669, November 12, 1985). The 2013 theft rate for each vehicle line was calculated by dividing the number of reported thefts of MY 2013 vehicles of that line stolen during calendar year 2013 by the total number of vehicles in that line manufactured for MY 2013, as reported to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As in all previous reports, NHTSA’s data were based on information provided to NHTSA by the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The NCIC is a government system that receives vehicle theft information from approximately 23,000 criminal justice agencies and other law enforcement authorities throughout the United States. The NCIC data also include reported thefts of self-insured and uninsured vehicles, not all of which are reported to other data sources. The preliminary 2013 theft data show an increase in the vehicle theft rate when compared to the theft rate experienced in CY/MY 2012 (For 2012 theft data, see 79 FR 70115, November PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 46931 25, 2014). The preliminary theft rate for MY 2013 passenger vehicles stolen in calendar year 2013 increased to 1.1562 thefts per thousand vehicles produced, an increase of 2.37 percent from the rate of 1.1294 thefts per thousand vehicles experienced by MY 2012 vehicles in CY 2012. For MY 2013 vehicles, out of a total of 211 vehicle lines, ten lines had a theft rate higher than 3.5826 per thousand vehicles, the established median theft rate for MYs 1990/1991 (See 59 FR 12400, March 16, 1994). Of the ten vehicle lines with a theft rate higher than 3.5826, nine are passenger car lines, one is a multipurpose passenger vehicle line, and none are light-duty truck lines. The data presented in this publication reflect an increase in the overall vehicle theft rate for CY/MY 2013, which is slightly inconsistent with the general theft rate trend over the past several years. Historically, the data have shown an overall decreasing trend, with periods of increase from one year to the next (Figure 1). While the theft rate data show only a slight increase in the overall theft rate for CY/MY 2013, the agency welcomes any comments on the increase in the overall theft rate for this period. E:\FR\FM\06AUP1.SGM 06AUP1 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 151 / Thursday, August 6, 2015 / Proposed Rules In Table 1, NHTSA has tentatively ranked each of the MY 2013 vehicle lines in descending order of theft rate. Public comment is sought on the accuracy of the data, including the data for the production volumes of individual vehicle lines. Comments must not exceed 15 pages in length (49 CFR 553.21). Attachments may be appended to these submissions without regard to the 15 page limit. This limitation is intended to encourage commenters to detail their primary arguments in a concise fashion. If a commenter wishes to submit certain information under a claim of confidentiality, three copies of the complete submission, including purportedly confidential business information, should be submitted to the Chief Counsel, NHTSA, at the street address given in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section, and two VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:37 Aug 05, 2015 Jkt 235001 copies from which the purportedly confidential information has been deleted should be submitted to the docket. A request for confidentiality should be accompanied by a cover letter setting forth the information specified in the agency’s confidential business information regulation. 49 CFR part 512. All comments received before the close of business on the comment closing date indicated above for this document will be considered, and will be available for examination in the docket at the above address both before and after that date. To the extent possible, comments filed after the closing date will also be considered. Comments on this document will be available for inspection in the docket. NHTSA will continue to file relevant information as it becomes available for inspection in the docket after the closing date, and it is recommended that PO 00000 Frm 00080 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 interested persons continue to examine the docket for new material. Those persons desiring to be notified upon receipt of their comments in the rules docket should enclose a selfaddressed, stamped postcard in the envelope with their comments. Upon receiving the comments, the docket supervisor will return the postcard by mail.

NMFS refers the reader to the July 9, 2015, Federal Register notice (80 FR 39542) for background information concerning the proposed regulations. The information in the notice of proposed rulemaking is not repeated here. This correction revises the description contained in the preamble of the estimates of five species of marine mammals to be taken by Level B harassment and the estimates of gray and harbor seals to be taken by mortality. Need for Correction As published, the preamble to the final regulations contains errors or typos which may prove to be misleading and need to be clarified. These errors and omissions were also incorrectly recorded within the regulatory text and should be clarified there as well. 1.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Carlita Ballard, Office of 
International Policy, Fuel Economy and Consumer Programs, NHTSA, 1200 
New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590. Ms. Ballard's telephone 
number is (202) 366-5222. Her fax number is (202) 493-2990.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA administers a program for reducing 
motor vehicle theft. The central feature of this program is the Federal 
Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard, 49 CFR part 541. The standard 
specifies performance requirements for inscribing or affixing vehicle 
identification numbers (VINs) onto certain major original equipment and 
replacement parts of high-theft lines of passenger motor vehicles.
    NHTSA obtains, from the most reliable source, accurate and timely 
theft data, and publishes the data for review and comment in accordance 
with 49 U.S.C. 33104(b)(4). This document reports the preliminary theft 
data for CY 2013 the most recent calendar year for which data are 
available.
    In calculating the 2013 theft rates, NHTSA followed the same 
procedures it has used since publication of the 1983/1984 theft rate 
data (50 FR 46669, November 12, 1985). The 2013 theft rate for each 
vehicle line was calculated by dividing the number of reported thefts 
of MY 2013 vehicles of that line stolen during calendar year 2013 by 
the total number of vehicles in that line manufactured for MY 2013, as 
reported to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As in all 
previous reports, NHTSA's data were based on information provided to 
NHTSA by the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) of the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation. The NCIC is a government system that receives 
vehicle theft information from approximately 23,000 criminal justice 
agencies and other law enforcement authorities throughout the United 
States. The NCIC data also include reported thefts of self-insured and 
uninsured vehicles, not all of which are reported to other data 
sources.
    The preliminary 2013 theft data show an increase in the vehicle 
theft rate when compared to the theft rate experienced in CY/MY 2012 
(For 2012 theft data, see 79 FR 70115, November 25, 2014). The 
preliminary theft rate for MY 2013 passenger vehicles stolen in 
calendar year 2013 increased to 1.1562 thefts per thousand vehicles 
produced, an increase of 2.37 percent from the rate of 1.1294 thefts 
per thousand vehicles experienced by MY 2012 vehicles in CY 2012. For 
MY 2013 vehicles, out of a total of 211 vehicle lines, ten lines had a 
theft rate higher than 3.5826 per thousand vehicles, the established 
median theft rate for MYs 1990/1991 (See 59 FR 12400, March 16, 1994). 
Of the ten vehicle lines with a theft rate higher than 3.5826, nine are 
passenger car lines, one is a multipurpose passenger vehicle line, and 
none are light-duty truck lines.
    The data presented in this publication reflect an increase in the 
overall vehicle theft rate for CY/MY 2013, which is slightly 
inconsistent with the general theft rate trend over the past several 
years. Historically, the data have shown an overall decreasing trend, 
with periods of increase from one year to the next (Figure 1). While 
the theft rate data show only a slight increase in the overall theft 
rate for CY/MY 2013, the agency welcomes any comments on the increase 
in the overall theft rate for this period.

    In Table 1, NHTSA has tentatively ranked each of the MY 2013 
vehicle lines in descending order of theft rate. Public comment is 
sought on the accuracy of the data, including the data for the 
production volumes of individual vehicle lines.
    Comments must not exceed 15 pages in length (49 CFR 553.21). 
Attachments may be appended to these submissions without regard to the 
15 page limit. This limitation is intended to encourage commenters to 
detail their primary arguments in a concise fashion.
    If a commenter wishes to submit certain information under a claim 
of confidentiality, three copies of the complete submission, including 
purportedly confidential business information, should be submitted to 
the Chief Counsel, NHTSA, at the street address given in the FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section, and two copies from which the 
purportedly confidential information has been deleted should be 
submitted to the docket. A request for confidentiality should be 
accompanied by a cover letter setting forth the information specified 
in the agency's confidential business information regulation. 49 CFR 
part 512.
    All comments received before the close of business on the comment 
closing date indicated above for this document will be considered, and 
will be available for examination in the docket at the above address 
both before and after that date. To the extent possible, comments filed 
after the closing date will also be considered. Comments on this 
document will be available for inspection in the docket. NHTSA will 
continue to file relevant information as it becomes available for 
inspection in the docket after the closing date, and it is recommended 
that interested persons continue to examine the docket for new 
material.
    Those persons desiring to be notified upon receipt of their 
comments in the rules docket should enclose a self-addressed, stamped 
postcard in the envelope with their comments. Upon receiving the 
comments, the docket supervisor will return the postcard by mail.
    Privacy Act: Anyone is able to search the electronic form of all 
comments received into any of our dockets by the name of the individual 
submitting the comment (or signing the comment, if submitted on behalf 
of an association, business, labor union, etc.). You may review DOT's 
complete Privacy Act Statement in the Federal Register published on 
April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477-78) or you may visit https://DocketsInfo.dot.gov.
