SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Older Drivers’ Self-Regulation and Exposure. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES DATES: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:24 Aug 06, 2015 Jkt 235001 Type of Request: New information collection requirement. Abstract: Research has shown that drivers 75 and over have a crash rate nearly double that of drivers between the ages of 25 and 65. In addition to increased crash rates, older drivers are also more likely to be killed in automobile crashes when compared to younger age groups. Some research showed that drivers aged 75 to 79 were 3.5 times more likely to be killed in an automobile crash than drivers 30 to 65 years of age. This ratio jumped to 9.5 after age 80. Factors such as declining cognitive and motor skills may help explain these older driver crash statistics. Some older drivers may attempt to offset any functional declines by adopting compensatory or selfregulatory behaviors (e.g., slowing down, braking earlier, limiting conditions or times of day in which they drive, and/or voluntarily giving up driving). This research effort is focused on determining how much older drivers self-regulate their driving through changes in behaviors or by reducing exposure. The project involves an initial questionnaire collecting information from licensed drivers about their age, driver license status, driving habits, vehicle type and age, and the extent to which they self-limit their driving exposure. The project plans to recruit a total of 60 participants, 20 of whom are 60–69, 20 who are 70–79, and 20 who are 80+ years of age. Staff will attempt to recruit equal numbers of males and females in each age group and to distribute the ages across each interval. Qualifying participants will have a tracking device installed in the vehicle for approximately 30 days. The device will record all trips made by the participant. At the end of the 30-day tracking period, each participant will be asked to take a battery of standard clinical functional measures and complete an on-road driving assessment administered by a certified driving rehabilitation specialist. Researchers will examine the driving behaviors of participants based on age group and other covariates collected during the initial questionnaire and assessments. The results of this project will assist NHTSA in determining the relative extent to which older drivers appear to be aware of their cognitive and motor skill deterioration, and whether their perception of declining ability was affecting driving behaviors and exposure. Affected Public: Participants will include 60 licensed drivers who drive a minimum of 3 trips per week, 20 of PO 00000 Frm 00106 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 47555 whom are 60–69, 20 who are 70–79, and 20 who are 80+ years of age. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 120 hours maximum. Comments are invited on the following: (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (ii) the accuracy of the Department’s estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; (iii) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication of this notice. Authority: 44 U.S.C. Section 3506(c)(2)(A). Issued on: August 4, 2015.

The transaction is expected to be consummated on or after August 22, 2015, the effective date of the exemption.1 Applicants state that: (i) The railroads will not connect with each other or any railroad in their corporate family; (ii) the subject acquisition of control is not part of a series of anticipated transactions that would connect the railroads with each other or any railroad in their corporate family; and (iii) the transaction does not involve a Class I carrier. Therefore, the transaction is exempt from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2). Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board may not use its exemption authority to relieve a rail carrier of its statutory obligation to protect the interests of its employees. Section 11326(c), however, does not provide for labor protection for transactions under sections 11324 and 11325 that involve only Class III rail carriers. Because this transaction involves Class III rail carriers only, the Board, under the statute, may not impose labor protective conditions for this transaction. If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) may be filed at any time. The filing of a petition to revoke will not automatically stay the effectiveness of the exemption. Petitions to stay must be filed no later than August 15, 2015 (at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective). An original and 10 copies of all pleadings referring to Docket No. FD 35945, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW., Washington, DC 20423–0001.

NKCR has certified that: (1) No local traffic has moved over the lines for at least two years; (2) any overhead traffic could be rerouted over other lines; (3) no formal complaint filed by a user of rail service on the lines (or by a state or local government entity acting on behalf of such user) regarding cessation of service over the lines either is pending with the Surface Transportation Board (Board) or with any U.S. District Court or has been decided in favor of complainant within the two-year period; and (4) the requirements at 49 CFR 1 In its verified notice, Regional Holdings requests expedited consideration to minimize potential disruption to its business as a result of the change in majority ownership due to its acquisition of Regional Rail.

Because those documents were required to be served on NGS at least 20 days prior to filing the notice of exemption, see 49 CFR 1105.7(b)(1), service and publication of this notice has been delayed to account for the 20 days of advanced notice that NGS should have received, and deadlines have been adjusted accordingly.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a motor vehicle that was not 
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS shall be 
refused admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that 
the motor vehicle is substantially similar to a motor vehicle 
originally manufactured for importation into and sale in the United 
States, certified under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same model year as 
the model of the motor vehicle to be compared, and is capable of being 
readily altered to conform to all applicable FMVSS.
    Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either 
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to 
49 CFR part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice 
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords 
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the 
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the 
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is 
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in 
the Federal Register.
    Wallace Environmental Testing Laboratories (``WETL''), Inc. of 
Houston, Texas (Registered Importer R-90-005) has petitioned NHTSA to 
decide whether nonconforming MY 2006 Ferrari 612 Scagletti PC's 
manufactured before September 1, 2006 are eligible for importation into 
the United States. The vehicles which WETL believes are substantially 
similar are MY 2006 Ferrari 612 Scagletti PC's manufactured before 
September 1, 2006 for sale in the United States and certified by their 
manufacturer as conforming to all applicable FMVSS.
    The petitioner claims that it compared non-U.S. certified MY 2006 
Ferrari 612 Scagletti PC's manufactured before September 1, 2006 to 
their U.S.-certified counterparts, and found the vehicles to be 
substantially similar with respect to compliance with most FMVSS.
    WETL submitted information with its petition intended to 
demonstrate that non-U.S. certified MY 2006 Ferrari 612 Scagletti PC's 
manufactured before September 1, 2006, as originally manufactured, 
conform to many FMVSS in the same manner as their U.S.-certified 
counterparts, or are capable of being readily altered to conform to 
those standards. Specifically, the petitioner claims that the non-U.S. 
certified MY 2006 Ferrari 612 Scagletti PC's manufactured before 
September 1, 2006 are identical to their U.S.-certified counterparts 
with respect to compliance with Standard Nos. 102 Transmission Shift
