Download as PDF asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 187 / Tuesday, September 27, 2016 / Notices • distribution of travel-related information, including maps, travel booklets, and hotel coupon booklets; • installation and operation of lottery machines; and • installation and operation of vending machines which may only dispense such food, drink, and other articles as the State transportation department determines are appropriate and desirable and which are operated in accordance with the RandolphSheppard Act of 1936 found at 20 U.S.C. 107. Recently, several State departments of transportation have raised questions about what constitutes a vending machine and consequently what can or should be allowed in Interstate rest areas. There is currently no definition of vending machine either in the statute at 23 U.S.C. 111 or the regulation at 23 CFR 752.5. The current regulation and law have remained substantially the same and have not defined the term ‘‘vending machine’’ for more than 30 years. At the time of publication of both the statute and final rule, vending machines were generally similar in that they accepted coins or paper currency, were operated by either a push button or a pull lever, and dispensed similar limited products. In the last several years, however, technology has evolved well beyond the types of machines that were available when the law was enacted and the final regulation was published. Vending machines can now accept electronic means of payment and can vend a continually evolving and broad range of products. Additionally, there is now technology that is similar to vending machines, but not in existence at the time the statute was enacted. For example, self-serve kiosks at which the customer scans the goods for sale and then pays by cash or electronic method and which requires no assistance from either the kiosk owner or employee have become readily available. The FHWA is interested in gathering public comments on how certain provisions of the current law should be interpreted and applied in consideration of advancements in technology and the interests of the States. Specifically, FHWA is interested in comments concerning the definition of vending machines. The FHWA is also interested in public input concerning the provision of law that allows the sale of items designed to promote tourism in the State, currently limited to books, DVDs, and other media. Specific questions to guide the input are as follows: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:08 Sep 26, 2016 Jkt 238001 • Considering advances in technology, what defines a vending machine in today’s world? • What types of ‘‘media’’ should be considered as promoting tourism in the State? • Should local agricultural products be considered media that promotes tourism? • Are there other commercial activities that should be allowed consistent with Federal law? • Is there a need for additional Federal guidance on commercial activities in Interstate rest areas, and if so, what should the guidance address? Authority: 23 U.S.C. 111, 315, and 502(b); 23 CFR 752.5.

During its review of the PTCDP, FRA will consider whether the SafeNet System satisfies the requirements for PTC systems under 49 CFR part 236, subpart I and whether the PTCDP makes a reasonable showing a system built to the stated requirements would achieve the level of safety mandated for such a system under 49 CFR 236.1015, PTC Safety Plan content requirements and PTC System Certification.

During its review of the PTCDP, FRA will consider any relevant comments or data submitted. However, FRA may elect not to respond to any particular comment and, under 49 CFR 236.1013(b), FRA maintains authority to approve or disapprove the PTCDP at its sole discretion. FRA does not anticipate scheduling a public hearing regarding NERR’s PTCDP because the circumstances do not appear to warrant a hearing.
