significant crash risk using dynamic risk
management tools recommended by the
IRT. The term dynamic risk
management refers to the techniques
and processes that Agency managers
will use to evaluate the safety
performance of carriers on the
Moderate-Risk, Risk, and Monitor lists,
and to reprioritize these carriers as
needed. Safety performance data
analysis tools were developed to
support the dynamic management
decision-making process. The term
‘‘Mandatory’’ will no longer be used to
identify carriers for investigation
prioritization. FMCSA will also
introduce other prioritization changes
over the next year to address other
carriers with significant indicators of
non-compliance and to improve the
Agency’s ability to manage risk and
respond appropriately based on the best
available data. As a result, the Agency
anticipates conducting a similar number
of investigations as are currently
conducted.
Table 1 below provides the
approximate number of carriers that
would be identified annually under the
new High Risk definition and the
Agency’s additional risk tiers.
TABLE 1—NEW HIGH RISK CRITERIA CARRIERS AND CRASH RATES

This change will not impact a carrier’s
safety fitness rating, authority to
operate, or SMS percentiles, and will
not change the SMS methodology, or
how FMCSA makes enforcement
decisions.

The following table defines the
criteria for designating Passenger and
Non-Passenger carriers as ‘‘High Risk.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
I. Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
FMCSA may grant an exemption from
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSRs) 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. The 25
individuals listed in this notice have
recently requested such an exemption
from the hearing requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(11), which applies to drivers
of CMVs in interstate commerce.
Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate
the qualifications of each applicant to
determine whether granting the
exemption will achieve the required
level of safety mandated by statute.
The physical qualification standard
for drivers regarding hearing found in
49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) states that a
person is physically qualified to drive a
CMV if that person:
First perceives a forced whispered voice in
the better ear at not less than 5 feet with or
without the use of a hearing aid or, if tested
by use of an audiometric device, does not
have an average hearing loss in the better ear
greater than 40 decibels at 500 Hz, 1,000 Hz,
and 2,000 Hz with or without a hearing aid
when the audiometric device is calibrated to
American National Standard (formerly ASA
Standard) Z24.5–1951.
This standard was adopted in 1970
and was revised in 1971 to allow drivers
to be qualified under this standard
while wearing a hearing aid, 35 FR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 49
U.S.C. 20157, as amended by the
Positive Train Control Enforcement and
Implementation Act of 2015 (PTCEI Act)
and the Fixing America’s Surface
Transportation (FAST) Act, each
railroad required to implement a
positive train control (PTC) system must
provide information to FRA on its
implementation progress. Under the
PTCEI Act, each railroad subject to 49
U.S.C. 20157(a) must submit an annual
progress report to FRA by March 31,
2016, and annually thereafter, until PTC
implementation is complete. 49 U.S.C.
20157(c)(1). The amended statute
specifically requires each railroad to
provide certain information in the
annual reports regarding its progress
toward implementing PTC, and
authorizes FRA to request that railroads
provide additional information in the
annual progress reports. See id. The
annual progress report will report all
progress for the previous calendar year.
In addition, 49 U.S.C. 20157(c)(2)
requires FRA to conduct compliance
reviews, at least annually, to ensure that
each railroad is complying with its
revised PTC implementation plan
(PTCIP). The amended statute requires
railroads to provide information to FRA
that FRA determines is necessary to
adequately conduct such compliance
reviews. See 49 U.S.C. 20157(c)(2).
To effectively monitor compliance
with PTC system implementation, FRA
is proposing to require each subject
railroad and entity to submit quarterly
reports on its implementation progress,
in addition to the annual progress
reports, under the PTCEI Act and FRA’s
statutory and regulatory investigative
authorities. See 49 U.S.C. 20157(c)(2);
see also 49 U.S.C. 20107, 20902; 49 CFR
PO 00000
Frm 00141
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
236.1009(h). Specifically, FRA is
proposing that, in addition to the annual
report due each March 31 under 49
U.S.C. 20157(c)(1), railroads must
provide quarterly progress reports
covering the preceding three-month
period and submit the forms to FRA on
the dates in the following table until full
PTC system implementation is
completed:

Q4 ........
Due dates for
quarterly reports
June 30, 2016,
and each
April 30 thereafter.
July 31.
October 31.

FRA is delaying submission of the
first quarterly form to allow time for the
normal 60-days of notice and public
comment directed to the agency and the
additional 30 days of public comment
directed to OMB while the submission
undergoes OMB review as required
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 and its concomitant regulations.
Since the annual report is statutorily
required by March 31, 2016, FRA is
seeking Emergency Processing for the
annual form.
Annual and quarterly reporting will
enable FRA to effectively track and
report railroad progress and compliance,
and to perform its roles in enforcement
and industry oversight. The proposed
quarterly progress report form is
formatted similar to the ‘‘PTCIP
template’’ (FRA F 6180.164, OMB No.
2130–0553) and will be used to track
railroads’ progress on, and compliance
with, the core quantitative
implementation elements and goals,
some of which are included in the
railroads’ revised PTCIPs. The quarterly
frequency will allow FRA to identify
potential trends so that it can manage its
technical assistance and monitor
compliance accordingly. The annual
report is required by law, but FRA is
providing guidance on what type of
information must be provided to ensure
consistency of the information industry
provides to FRA and its usefulness to
FRA for assessing progress and
compliance.
FRA is proposing that each railroad
must submit its quarterly progress
reports and annual progress reports
using Form FRA F 6180.165 and Form
FRA F 6180.166, respectively.
FRA is proposing to let the less
detailed monthly reporting that it
currently requires (approved under

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) 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. The 25 individuals
listed in this notice have recently requested such an exemption from
the hearing requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce. Accordingly, the Agency will
evaluate the qualifications of each applicant to determine whether
granting the exemption will achieve the required level of safety
mandated by statute.
The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding hearing
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person:
First perceives a forced whispered voice in the better ear at
not less than 5 feet with or without the use of a hearing aid or, if
tested by use of an audiometric device, does not have an average
hearing loss in the better ear greater than 40 decibels at 500 Hz,
1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a hearing aid when the
audiometric device is calibrated to American National Standard
(formerly ASA Standard) Z24.5-1951.
This standard was adopted in 1970 and was revised in 1971 to allow
drivers to be qualified under this standard while wearing a hearing
aid, 35 FR 6458, 6463 (April 22, 1970) and 36 FR 12857 (July 3, 1971).
