Airport Manager requested from the
FAA that approximately 0.21± acres of

the procedural requirements of the
Federal Aviation Administration and
the release of the property does not and
will not impact future aviation needs at
the airport. The FAA may approve the
request, in whole or in part, no sooner
than thirty days after the publication of
this Notice.
The following is a brief overview of
the request:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As
originally announced in the Federal

Program has been expanded to include
all of the United States domestic marine
transportation system. Previously, the
Program only included waterways that

paralleled landside transportation
routes, and thus, excluded routes
between the mainland and noncontiguous ports. The expanded scope
was specified in Section 405 of The
Coast Guard and Marine Transportation
Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–213), which
reads: ‘‘[t]he Secretary shall designate
short sea transportation routes as
extensions of the surface transportation
system to focus public and private
efforts to use the waterways to relieve
landside congestion along coastal
corridors or to promote short sea
transportation.’’
The purpose of the open season call
for projects is to seek eligible Marine
Highway projects that may establish
new or enhance existing Marine
Highway services. Eligible projects may
be designated as Marine Highway
Projects by the Secretary of
Transportation. Being designated a
Marine Highway Project allows DOT
resources to be used to assist public
project sponsors, ports and other local
transportation or economic
development agencies in the
development of Marine Highway
projects.
The Department’s objective through
this program is to reduce landside
congestion and increase the use of
domestic marine transportation by
supporting the development of
transportation options for shippers.
These services provide economic and
environmental benefits to the U.S.
public at large. Marine Highway
Program designated projects can
improve safety and system resilience,
and serve to reduce transportationrelated air emissions, transportation
costs for shippers, energy consumption,
and costs associated with landside
transportation infrastructure.
The Marine Highway Program
implementing regulations at 46 CFR part
393 will be amended to reflect the new
statutory changes. In the meantime,
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
DOT/MARAD will accept and process
project applications that propose to
operate or expand service on Marine
Highway routes, including those with
no parallel landside route.
Exceptions to This Open Season
If new Marine Highway grant funds
are appropriated in a fiscal year (FY), it
is possible that the review period for the
July 1–September 30 review session
may be truncated so that projects
submitted on June 30 could be made
eligible to apply for Marine Highway
grant funds in that FY.
Participation
Although Marine Highway Projects
often involve private entities such as
vessel operators, the applications must
be sponsored and submitted to DOT/
MARAD by a public entity, such as a
State Department of Transportation,
Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO), or Port Authority. Public/private
partnerships are encouraged.
To be eligible for Marine Highway
Project status, the proposed project must
(1) use U.S. documented vessels, (2)
transport passengers, containerized
freight or trailer-based freight, and (3)
operate on a designated Marine
Highway Route. (Refer to 46 CFR
393.4(c) for a comprehensive
description of project eligibility).
However, since the number of navigable
waterways eligible for designation as a
Marine Highway Route was increased in
the Coast Guard and Marine
Transportation Act of 2012, DOT/
MARAD will consider Marine Highway
projects that would operate on newly
eligible navigable waterways that have
been recommended for, but not yet
granted, a Marine Highway Route
designation. For further information on
recommending that a navigable
waterway be designated as a Marine
Highway Route, please contact your
regional Gateway Office. Their contact

Denial of Motor Vehicle Defect Petition
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation.
ACTION: Denial of petition for a defect
investigation.
AGENCY:
NHTSA has reviewed the material
provided by the petitioners and other
pertinent data that the agency gathered
as well as test drove the petitioners’
vehicle. The results of this review and
NHTSA’s analysis of the petition’s merit
is set forth in the DP15–006 Evaluation
Report, appearing in the public docket
referenced in the heading of this notice.
For the reasons presented in the
Evaluation Report, it is unlikely that an
order concerning notification and
remedy of a safety-related defect would
be issued as a result of granting Mr.
Albert Cusson and Nancy YoungerCusson’s request. Therefore, in review
of the need to allocate and prioritize
NHTSA’s investigative resources, an
investigation on the issues raised by the
petition does not appear to be
warranted. Therefore, the petition is
denied.

This notice sets forth the
reasons for the denial of a petition
submitted to NHTSA under 49 U.S.C.
30162, requesting that the agency
commence a proceeding to determine
the existence of a defect related to motor
vehicle safety in 2015 Volvo VNL 780
vehicles. After a review of the petition
and other information, NHTSA has
concluded that further expenditure of
the agency’s investigative resources on
the issues raised by the petition does
not appear warranted. The agency
accordingly has denied the petition. The
petition is hereinafter identified as
DP15–006.

Nate Seymour, Medium & Heavy Duty
Vehicle Division, Office of Defects
Investigation (ODI), NHTSA, 1200 New

Telephone: (202) 366–2069.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter
dated August 7, 2015, Mr. Albert Cusson
and Nancy Younger-Cusson wrote to
NHTSA requesting that the agency
investigate the issues they previously
identified in vehicle owner
questionnaires (VOQ) 10701592 and
10747593 filed with the Agency. While
the Petitioner’s letter did not comply
precisely with the requirements for
petitions found in 49 CFR 552.4, the
Agency is treating it as a petition in
accordance with the regulation.
ODI understands these issues to
include: Cab sway, cab alignment/
bottoming out, and loss of vehicle
control due to false triggering of the
advanced vehicle safety systems.

under the auspices of the Federal

Capital Adequacy Framework (FFIEC
101) for public comment. The proposed
revisions to the FFIEC 101 are
consistent with the revised regulatory
capital rule approved by the agencies in
July 2013 (regulatory capital rule), as
amended by subsequent revisions to the
supplementary leverage ratio (SLR).
The proposed collection of SLR data
in Tables 1 and 2 of FFIEC 101 Schedule
A would apply to all banking
organizations subject to the advanced
approaches risk-based capital rule
(generally, banking organizations with
$250 billion or more in total
consolidated assets or $10 billion or
more in on-balance sheet foreign
exposures) (advanced approaches
banking organizations), unless the
advanced approaches banking
organization is (i) a consolidated
subsidiary of a bank holding company
(BHC), savings and loan holding
company (SLHC), or depository
institution that is subject to the
disclosure requirements in Table 13 of
section 173 of the advanced approaches
risk-based capital rule (advanced
approaches rule), or (ii) a subsidiary of
a non-U.S. banking organization that is
subject to comparable public disclosure
requirements in its home jurisdiction.
Advanced approaches banking
organizations would begin reporting the
proposed SLR data items in FFIEC 101
Schedule A, Tables 1 and 2, effective
with the September 30, 2016, reporting
date.
Separately, the proposed collection of
SLR data in Tables 1 and 2 of FFIEC 101
Schedule A would apply to any U.S.
intermediate holding companies (IHCs)
formed or designated for purposes of
compliance with the Board’s Regulation
YY (12 CFR 252.153) that are advanced
approaches banking organizations,
effective with the March 31, 2018,
reporting date. Any subsidiary BHC
controlled by a foreign banking
organization (FBO) that was subject to
the SLR requirements prior to the
formation of an IHC would complete
FFIEC 101 Schedule A, Tables 1 and 2,
through the December 31, 2017,
reporting date. The agencies would
release publicly Tables 1 and 2 of FFIEC
101 Schedule A for all covered banking
organizations, including IHCs that are
required to complete Schedule A.
At the end of the comment period, the
comments will be analyzed to determine
the extent to which the FFIEC and the
agencies should modify the proposed
revisions. The agencies will then submit
the proposed revisions to OMB for
review and final approval.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before June 17, 2016.
