Government Securities: Call for Large Position Reports, 36385-36386 [2016-13348]

Download as PDF sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 108 / Monday, June 6, 2016 / Notices become the cornerstone for large scale movement of goods. Further, DOT requests public input as to whether the navigable waterways included in the Interim NMFN sufficiently depict routes along which domestic waterborne freight is commonly transported. Aviation: DOT requests feedback regarding the most appropriate data to use when determining which airports to include in the Final NMFN. As noted above, the FAST Act directed that the Interim NMFN include the top 50 airports by landed all-cargo weight as identified by the FAA. However, this dataset does not account for the amount of cargo moved in the bellies of passenger aircraft. Further, this dataset captures maximum ‘‘landed weight’’ of all-cargo aircraft, which is based on the weight determined by aircraft type, regardless of actual cargo carried. DOT supplemented the Interim NMFN by considering additional candidates selected from the top 50 airports using cargo data reported to BTS. These BTS data reflect the weight of cargo being transported on both passenger and cargo aircraft. For determining how to supplement the interim network, several choices were made regarding the BTS data: • DOT selected market data rather than segment data. We believe that market data provide a better sense of cargo moving on and off airports, which is appropriate for an intermodal network. • DOT selected destination (landed) weight rather than origin weight, in order to be consistent with the type of data required in the interim network. • DOT selected cargo weight only, excluding mail. Considering the data sources used to determine the interim network, DOT seeks public input regarding what data specifically should be considered for the Final NMFN. Should DOT use only the BTS data? Should DOT continue to combine the BTS data with the ACAIS data? DOT also requests comment on additional methodologies and data sources that have not been considered for the Interim NMFN. State Input: 49 U.S.C. 70103(c)(1) and 49 U.S.C. 70103(c)(3)(C) direct the Under Secretary to provide the States with an opportunity to submit proposed designations to the NMFN during the process of designating the Final NMFN. 49 U.S.C. 70103(c)(4)(A) requires each State that proposes additional designations to consider nominations for additional designations from a wide range of stakeholders, including MPOs, State Freight Advisory Committees (if applicable), and owners and operators of port, rail, pipeline, and airport VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:36 Jun 03, 2016 Jkt 238001 facilities. Additionally, each State proposing additional designations is required to ensure that all additional designations are consistent with the State transportation improvement program (STIP) or freight plan. States may designate a freight facility or corridor within the borders of the State as a critical rural freight facility or corridor for the Final NMFN designation. Importantly, please note that this authority and process is unrelated to the highway-specific designation of critical rural freight corridors by States and critical urban freight corridors by States and MPOs for inclusion in the NHFN.14 In order to qualify as a critical rural freight facility or corridor for the NMFN, the facility or corridor must meet at least one of the following conditions: 1. Is a rural principal arterial; 2. Provides access or service to energy exploration, development, installation, or production areas; 3. Provides access or service to— a. A grain elevator; b. An agricultural facility; c. A mining facility; d. A forestry facility; or e. An intermodal facility; 4. Connects to an international port of entry; 5. Provides access to a significant air, rail, water, or other freight facility in the State; or 6. Has been determined by the State to be vital to improving the efficient movement of freight of importance to the economy of the State. There is no limitation that such critical rural freight facilities or corridors must be highways. Each State may propose additional designations that are up to 20 percent of the total mileage of modal routes designated by the Under Secretary for the State. For the purposes of this first designation, the ‘‘total mileage’’ will be the total mileage in each State on the Interim NMFN. If a State wishes to propose a designation of a future Interstate or NHS route, it should provide information sufficient to demonstrate that the route is critical to the future efficient movement of goods and that the State will make such designation before the end of this year (when the Final NMFN is due). States should submit a list of additional designations to the Under Secretary as part of the public comment process described below. Each State submitting additional designations should also certify that the State has 14 For more information on the designation of critical rural freight corridors under the NHFP program, please see FHWA’s guidance located at https://www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/fastact/crfc/sec_1116_ gdnce.htm.

Public Comment: The DOT invites comments by all those interested in the NMFN. Comments on the Interim NMFN may be submitted and viewed at Docket Number DOT–OST–2016–0053. Comments must be received on or before September 6, 2016 to receive full consideration by DOT with respect to the final designation of the NMFN. After September 6, 2016, comments will continue to be available for viewing by the public. The Final NMFN will be designated not later than December 4, 2016 by the Under Secretary per the statutory requirement. Dated: May 27, 2016.
