Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 107 / Tuesday, June 6, 2017 / Notices
property at the Colorado Springs Airport
submitted by the Colorado Springs
Airport meets the procedural
requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration.
The following is a brief overview of
the request:
The Colorado Springs Airport is
proposing the release from the terms,
conditions, reservations, and
restrictions on approximately 27.31
acres of federally obligated land at the
Colorado Springs Airport. The said
parcel is a portion of a larger 110 acre
available land mass north of Stewart
Road and east of Powers Boulevard. The
proposed release would allow for
construction of a cargo facility which is
consistent with the permitted land use.
The airport property being proposed for
release is bisected by a roadway and
Sand Creek drainage system and does
not have access to the airfield, and is
currently undeveloped and is not
planned or situated for aeronautical
activity. The property will be sold at fair
market value and the sponsor will
reinvest the revenue into the airport.
The property release conveyance will
include appropriate continuing right of
flight and continuing restriction clauses
that will prohibit any activity on the
land that would interfere with or be a
hazard to the flight of aircraft over the
land or to and from the airport, or that
interferes with air navigation and
communications facilities serving the
airport.
Any person may inspect, by
appointment, the request in person at
the FAA office listed above under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
In addition, any person may, upon
appointment and request, inspect the
application, notice and other documents
germane to the application in person at
the Colorado Springs Airport.

30 Rockaway Blvd., Suite 111, Jamaica,
NY 11434.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
following is a brief overview of the
request:
The Albany County Airport Authority
has submitted a land release request
seeking FAA approval for the sale and
disposal of approximately 11.972 acres
of federally obligated airport property to
the New York Department of
Transportation (NYSDOT) for the
purpose of accommodating the
construction of a new highway access
ramp connecting Albany Shaker Road to
Interstate 87, also known as the
Adirondack Northway Exit 4 Project.
The project will include new highway
construction with access improvements,
new bridge construction associated with
the access improvements, and the
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00168

replacement of the existing Northway
bridges over Albany Shaker Road.
The parcels for this project are known
as Tax Lots 30.–5–1, 2, 3, 4, & 9 in
Colonie, NY, and will be subdivided to
account for a total of 11.972 acres to be
released and sold at Fair Market Value
(FMV) as determined by a certified
appraisal report. The proposed
subdivision and sale will subsequently
result in the reduction in economic
value of a total of 6.420 acres of existing
airport property adjacent to the 11.972
acres being released, whereby these
6.420 acres will become landlocked and
inaccessible. Due to the reduction in
value of these 6.420 acres as a result of
the subdivision and sale of the subject
parcels, the airport will also be
compensated for the reduction in value
of these ‘‘uneconomic remnants’’ at
FMV. In addition, as a condition of the
land release, the airport and prospective
buyer have agreed to include an access
easement across the road right-of-way to
allow for continued access to the
aforementioned 6.420 acres by the
airport sponsor.
The 11.972 acres of land to be
released was originally purchased with
federal financial assistance through the
AIP program under Grant Agreements
3–36–0001–062–1999, 3–36–0001–092–
2007, and 3–36–0001–105–2009.
Therefore, the portion of the proceeds of
the sale of this acreage, which is
proportionate to the United States’ share
of the cost of acquisition of such land,
will be used consistent with the
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(c). The
remaining portion of the proceeds of the
sale, is considered airport revenue, and
will be used in accordance with 49
U.S.C. 47107(b) and the FAA’s Policy
and Procedures Concerning the Use of
Airport Revenue published in the
Federal Register on February 16, 1999.
The 11.972 acres to be released are
part of previous purchases totaling
189.65 for reasons associated with
Runway Protection Zone (RPZ)
protection, obstruction control, and
noise compatibility in line with a part
150 noise study. The subject area to be
released, however, is not located within
the RPZ, will not result in any
obstructions to part 77 surfaces, and has
not been identified as needed for
current or future airport development in
the current Airport Master Plan or ALP.
Furthermore, the proposed use as a
highway interchange is considered to be
a compatible land use as defined by the
part 150 study.
Any person may inspect the request
by appointment at the FAA office
address listed above. Interested persons
are invited to comment. All comments

Regulations (FMCSRs) that interstate
commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers have ‘‘no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy
or any other condition which is likely
to cause loss of consciousness or any
loss of ability to control a CMV.’’ The
exemptions enable these individuals
who have had one or more seizures and
are taking anti-seizure medication to
continue to operate CMVs in interstate
commerce.
DATES: Each group of renewed
exemptions was effective on the dates
stated in the discussions below and will
expire on the dates stated in the

On October 14, 2016, FMCSA
published a notice announcing its
decision to renew exemptions for 11
individuals from the Epilepsy and
Seizure Disorders prohibition in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(8) to operate a CMV in
interstate commerce and requested
comments from the public (81 FR
71181). The public comment period
ended on November 14, 2016, and no
comments were received on January 9,
2017, FMCSA published a second notice
announcing its decision to renew
exemptions for the same 11 individuals
from the Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders
prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) to
operate a CMV in interstate commerce
and requested comments from the
public (81 FR 71181). The public
comment period ended on February 8,
2017, and no comments were received.
As stated in the previous notice,
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of
these applicants and determined that
renewing these exemptions would
achieve a level of safety equivalent to or
greater than the level that would be
achieved by complying with the current
regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8).
The physical qualification standard
for drivers regarding epilepsy found in
49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) states that a person
is physically qualified to drive a CMV
if that person:
Has no established medical history or clinical
diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition
which is likely to cause the loss of
consciousness or any loss of ability to control
a CMV.
In addition to the regulations, FMCSA
has published advisory criteria to assist
Medical Examiners in determining
whether drivers with certain medical
conditions are qualified to operate a
CMV in interstate commerce. [49 CFR

III. Discussion of Comments
FMCSA received no comments in this
preceding.
IV. Conclusion
Based upon its evaluation of the 11
renewal exemption applications and no
comments received, FMCSA confirms
its’ decision to exempt the following
drivers from the Epilepsy and Seizure
Disorders requirement in 49 CFR 391.41
(b)(8), subject to the requirements cited
above.
As of April 8, 2016, the following four
individuals have satisfied the renewal
conditions for obtaining an exemption
from the Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders
prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8), from
driving CMVs in interstate commerce
(81 FR 71181): Jeffrey Ballweg (WI);
Michael Ranalli (PA); Lonnie Reicker
(IL); and Jay Whitehead (NY). These
drivers were included in FMCSA–2011–
0389; and FMCSA–2012–0294; FMCSA–
2013–0109. The exemptions were
effective on April 8, 2016, and will
expire on April 8, 2018.
As of April 23, 2016, the following
seven individuals have satisfied the
renewal conditions for obtaining an
exemption from the Epilepsy and
Seizure Disorders prohibition in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(8), from driving CMVs in
interstate commerce (81 FR 71181):
Charles Blood (NY)
Raymond Lobo (NJ)
Randy Pinto (PA)
Brent Robinson (NC)
Douglas Teigland (MN)
Joseph Thomas (MD)
James Spece (PA)
These drivers were included in
FMCSA–2013–0442. The exemptions
were effective on April 23, 2016, and

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315,
each exemption will be valid for two
years from the effective date unless
revoked earlier by FMCSA. The
exemption will be revoked if the
following occurs: (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 prior to being granted;
or (3) continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals
and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and
31315.
