drivers will exercise more caution than
those who meet the standards. Roy
Hegland stated that he is in favor of
granting the exemptions based on the
professional experience of his daughter
who has a vision deficiency. An
anonymous commenter stated that they
are against granting the exemptions
because of safety concerns related to the
vision deficiencies of the drivers,
specifically regarding depth perception
of the drivers and larger blind spots
while operating CMVs. As stated in
section four of this notice, medical
evaluations from each driver, their
driving records, driving experience with
the vision deficiency, and safety
concerns, are all considered when
determining if an exemption should be
granted. Studies pertaining to the
efficacy of these considerations are also
referenced in section four.
VI. Conclusion
Based upon its evaluation of the 22
exemption applications, FMCSA
exempts the following drivers from the
vision requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10), subject to the
requirements cited above (49 CFR
391.64(b)):
Lee R. Boykin (TX)
Donald Carrillo (NM)
Carl F. Cryer (AL)
Steven W. Day (MO)
Roger M. Dunaway (KY)
Horace N. Goss (TX)
Matt A. Guilmain (NH)
Hugo N. Gutierrez (IN)
Edward R. Hunt (NC)
William J. Kanaris (NY)
Harvey Klein (NJ)
Ronnie L. McHugh (KS)
Walter J. Musty (MN)
John O’Boyle (PA)
Michael L. Robinson (MO)
Donald P. Ruckinger (PA)
Mark A. Sanders (OK)
Michael J. Scarano (NJ)
Edward P. Schrader II (WA)
Charles H. Strople (MA)
Eddie Walker (NC)
Trent Wipf (SC)
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315, each exemption will be valid
for 2 years unless revoked earlier by
FMCSA. The exemption will be revoked
if: (1) The person fails to comply with
the terms and conditions of the
exemption; (2) the exemption has
resulted in a lower level of safety than
was maintained before it was granted; or
(3) continuation of the exemption would
not be consistent with the goals and
objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and 31315.
If the exemption is still effective at the
end of the 2-year period, the person may
apply to FMCSA for a renewal under
procedures in effect at that time.

of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice
AGENCY:
This notice provides the most
current revisions to the National
Hazardous Materials Route Registry
(NHMRR) and procedures to facilitate
the update of the NHMRR by State and
Tribal government routing agencies. The
NHMRR is a listing, as reported by
States and Tribal governments, of all
designated and restricted road and
preferred highway routes for
transportation of highway route
controlled quantities (HRCQ) of Class 7
radioactive materials (RAM) (HRCQ/
RAM) and non-radioactive hazardous
materials (NRHMs).
DATES: Effective date: August 8, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Vincent Babich (202) 366–4871,
or vincent.babich@dot.gov, Hazardous
Materials Division, Office of
Enforcement and Compliance, Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration,
1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., Washington,
DC 20590. Office hours are from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m., E.T., Monday through Friday,
except for Federal holidays.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
Paragraphs (a)(2) and (b) of section
5112 of title 49, United States Code
(U.S.C.) permit States and Tribal
governments to designate and limit
highway routes over which HRCQ/RAM
and NRHM may be transported,
provided that the State or Tribal
government complies with standards
prescribed by the Secretary of
Transportation (the Secretary) and
meets publication requirements in
section 5112(c). To establish standards
under paragraph (b), the Secretary must
consult with the States, and, under
section 5112(c), coordinate with the
States to publish periodically a list of
currently effective HRCQ/RAM and
NRHM highway routing designations
and restrictions. The requirements that
States and Tribal governments must

Frm 00122
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
follow to establish, maintain, or enforce
routing designations for the transport of
placardable quantities of NRHM are set
forth in 49 CFR part 397, subpart C.
Subpart D of part 397 sets out the
requirements for designating preferred
routes for HRCQ/RAM shipments as an
alternative, or in addition, to Interstate
System highways. For HRCQ/RAM
shipments, § 397.101 defines a preferred
route as an Interstate Highway for which
no alternative route is designated by the
State; a route specifically designated by
the State; or both. See § 397.65 for the
definition of ‘‘NRHM’’ and ‘‘routing
designations.’’
Under a delegation from the
Secretary,1 FMCSA has authority to
implement 49 U.S.C. 5112.
Currently, 49 CFR part 397, subpart C,
(Routing of NRHM) and subpart D
(Routing of Class 7 RAM) address the
routing requirements and procedures
that State and tribal government are
required to follow. Section 397.73
establishes public information and
reporting requirements for NRHM.
States or Tribal governments are
required to furnish information
regarding any new or changed routes to
FMCSA within 60 days after
establishment. Under 49 CFR 397.103, a
State routing designation for HRCQ/
RAM routes (preferred routes) as an
alternative, or in addition, to an
Interstate System highway, is effective
when the authorized routing agency
provides FMCSA with written
notification, FMCSA acknowledges
receipt in writing, and the route is
published in FMCSA’s Hazardous
Material Route Registry. The Office of
Management and Budget has approved
these collections of information under
control number 2126–0014,
Transportation of Hazardous Materials,
Highway Routing. This notice serves
only to provide the most current
updates to the NHMRR, and to
communicate to States and Tribal
government routing agencies procedures
to facilitate timely reporting and
efficient update of the NHMRR as
required by 49 U.S.C. 5112 and 49 CFR
part 397; it does not establish any new
public information and reporting
requirements.

commercial motor vehicles transporting
hazardous material in commerce for
which DOT regulations require
placarding of the vehicle .In October
2014, FMCSA published a Technical
Amendments Rule that included
amendments to 49 CFR 397.69 to
address section 33013 of the statute [79
FR 59450; October 2, 2014]. Among the
amendments was a State reporting
requirement to include the name of the
agency responsible for the highway
route designations, and another to
clarify that any State- or Tribalgovernment-designated route is effective
only after publication in the NHMRR.
This notice further addresses the form
and manner for updating this
information by establishing a procedure
for updating the NHMRR in accordance
with the statute and regulations.
Updates to the NHMRR
The most up-to-date version of the
NHMRR, was published in the Federal
Register on April 29, 2015 (80 FR
23860) and can be accessed on the
internet at: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/
regulations/hazardous-materials/
national-hazardous-materials-routeregistry. Further, this Web page provides
a link to https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/
regulations/hazardous-materials/
national-hazardous-materials-routeregistry-state which provides the Route
Registry listing of each individual State
and Tribal government as well as
information on the official routing
agency. This information, available for
use by the routing agencies as well as
the general public, is presented, in three
formats; a spreadsheet, a PDF file, and
as available, an interactive map. In
addition, FMCSA has established an
internet mailbox at hmrouting@dot.gov
to facilitate communication with routing
agencies.
While the route designation reporting
requirements of 49 CFR 397.73 and
397.103 do not provide a specific
procedure to follow whenever there is
change in routing designations, the
FMCSA is providing the following
procedure to facilitate State and Tribal
government routing agencies in
updating their Route Registry listing:
1. From https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/
regulations/hazardous-materials/
national-hazardous-materials-routeregistry-state, open the appropriate
Route Registry spreadsheet for your
jurisdiction.
2. Modify the spreadsheet as
necessary following the instructions on
the Web page and the spreadsheet.
3. Revisions made to the spreadsheet
cannot be saved directly to the Web
page. The revised spreadsheet must be
saved to a different location.
4. Forward the revised spreadsheet
file as an attachment to an email to
hmrouting@dot.gov; Or forward a
printout of the revised spreadsheet via
certified mail (return receipt requested)
to FMCSA, Office of Enforcement and
Compliance (MC–EC), 1200 New Jersey
Ave. SE., Washington, DC 20590–0001.
Attention: National Hazardous Materials
Route Registry.
5. FMCSA will acknowledge via email
the receipt of all changes received via
the ‘‘HM Routing’’ internet mailbox.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Paragraphs (a)(2) and (b) of section 5112 of title 49, United
States Code (U.S.C.) permit States and Tribal governments to designate
and limit highway routes over which HRCQ/RAM and NRHM may be
transported, provided that the State or Tribal government complies with
standards prescribed by the Secretary of Transportation (the Secretary)
and meets publication requirements in section 5112(c). To establish
standards under paragraph (b), the Secretary must consult with the
States, and, under section 5112(c), coordinate with the States to
publish periodically a list of currently effective HRCQ/RAM and NRHM
highway routing designations and restrictions. The requirements that
States and Tribal governments must follow to establish, maintain, or
enforce routing designations for the transport of placardable
quantities of NRHM are set forth in 49 CFR part 397, subpart C. Subpart
D of part 397 sets out the requirements for designating preferred
routes for HRCQ/RAM shipments as an alternative, or in addition, to
Interstate System highways. For HRCQ/RAM shipments, Sec. 397.101
defines a preferred route as an Interstate Highway for which no
alternative route is designated by the State; a route specifically
designated by the State; or both. See Sec. 397.65 for the definition
of ``NRHM'' and ``routing designations.''
Under a delegation from the Secretary,\1\ FMCSA has authority to
implement 49 U.S.C. 5112.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 49 CFR 1.87(d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, 49 CFR part 397, subpart C, (Routing of NRHM) and
subpart D (Routing of Class 7 RAM) address the routing requirements and
procedures that State and tribal government are required to follow.
Section 397.73 establishes public information and reporting
requirements for NRHM. States or Tribal governments are required to
furnish information regarding any new or changed routes to FMCSA within
60 days after establishment. Under 49 CFR 397.103, a State routing
designation for HRCQ/RAM routes (preferred routes) as an alternative,
or in addition, to an Interstate System highway, is effective when the
authorized routing agency provides FMCSA with written notification,
FMCSA acknowledges receipt in writing, and the route is published in
FMCSA's Hazardous Material Route Registry. The Office of Management and
Budget has approved these collections of information under control
number 2126-0014, Transportation of Hazardous Materials, Highway
Routing. This notice serves only to provide the most current updates to
the NHMRR, and to communicate to States and Tribal government routing
agencies procedures to facilitate timely reporting and efficient update
of the NHMRR as required by 49 U.S.C. 5112 and 49 CFR part 397; it does
not establish any new public information and reporting requirements.
Procedural Changes
Section 33013 of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century
Act of 2012 (MAP-21) [Pub. L. 112-141, July 6, 2012, 126 Stat. 405,
839] amended 49 U.S.C. 5112(c), which addresses the form, manner, and
timetable for State and Tribal Governments to issue and update routing
information for
[[Page 52519]]
commercial motor vehicles transporting hazardous material in commerce
for which DOT regulations require placarding of the vehicle .In October
2014, FMCSA published a Technical Amendments Rule that included
amendments to 49 CFR 397.69 to address section 33013 of the statute [79
FR 59450; October 2, 2014]. Among the amendments was a State reporting
requirement to include the name of the agency responsible for the
highway route designations, and another to clarify that any State- or
Tribal-government-designated route is effective only after publication
in the NHMRR. This notice further addresses the form and manner for
updating this information by establishing a procedure for updating the
NHMRR in accordance with the statute and regulations.
Updates to the NHMRR
The most up-to-date version of the NHMRR, was published in the
Federal Register on April 29, 2015 (80 FR 23860) and can be accessed on
the internet at: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hazardous-materials/national-hazardous-materials-route-registry. Further, this
Web page provides a link to https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hazardous-materials/national-hazardous-materials-route-registry-state
which provides the Route Registry listing of each individual State and
Tribal government as well as information on the official routing
agency. This information, available for use by the routing agencies as
well as the general public, is presented, in three formats; a
spreadsheet, a PDF file, and as available, an interactive map. In
addition, FMCSA has established an internet mailbox at
hmrouting@dot.gov to facilitate communication with routing agencies.
While the route designation reporting requirements of 49 CFR 397.73
and 397.103 do not provide a specific procedure to follow whenever
there is change in routing designations, the FMCSA is providing the
following procedure to facilitate State and Tribal government routing
agencies in updating their Route Registry listing:
1. From https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hazardous-materials/national-hazardous-materials-route-registry-state, open the appropriate
Route Registry spreadsheet for your jurisdiction.
2. Modify the spreadsheet as necessary following the instructions
on the Web page and the spreadsheet.
3. Revisions made to the spreadsheet cannot be saved directly to
the Web page. The revised spreadsheet must be saved to a different
location.
4. Forward the revised spreadsheet file as an attachment to an
email to hmrouting@dot.gov; Or forward a printout of the revised
spreadsheet via certified mail (return receipt requested) to FMCSA,
Office of Enforcement and Compliance (MC-EC), 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE.,
Washington, DC 20590-0001. Attention: National Hazardous Materials
Route Registry.
5. FMCSA will acknowledge via email the receipt of all changes
received via the ``HM Routing'' internet mailbox.
6. FMCSA will publish the revisions as a Notice in the Federal
Register and incorporate the revisions, as applicable, into the
appropriate State or Tribal Government Route Register spreadsheet, PDF
file, and map posted on the National Hazardous Materials Route Registry
Web page.
Revisions to the National Hazardous Materials Route Registry
Since FMCSA published the NHMRR in a Notice on April 29, 2015 (80
FR 23860), the State of California has notified the FMCSA of the
following revisions to their Route Registry:

In accordance with the requirements of 49 CFR 397.73 and 397.103,
the Route Registry listings for the State of California, as published
in Tables 16 and 17 are being revised. The following revised tables
reflect the most current Route Registry listings for the State of
California and supersede and replace the corresponding tables of the
April 29, 2015 notice. The changes to the listings contained in the
following tables are also reflected in the information posted on the
internet at https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hazardous-materials/national-hazardous-materials-route-registry. No other States submitted
