<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 202 / Friday, October 20, 2017 / Notices
instituted several technical and
administrative controls to ensure the
efficient transportation of cargo
requiring protective services, controls
that would remain in effect under the
requested exemption. They include the
following:
• Conducting review of carrier
compliance requirements and
procedures for moving hazardous cargo.
• Evaluating carrier authority to
operate on United States roadways.
• Evaluating carrier compliance with
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration’s Compliance Safety
Accountability Program Safety
Measurement System standards.
• Providing over-the-road vehicle
surveillance.
• Inspecting carrier facilities and
corporate headquarters for compliance
with DOD and DOT standards.
Further details regarding SDDC’s
safety controls can be found in its initial
application for exemption. The
application can be accessed in the
docket identified at the beginning of this
notice. SDDC asserts that granting the
exemption would allow driver teams to
manage their en route rest periods
efficiently and also perform mandated
shipment security surveillance,
resulting in both safe driving
performance and greater security of
cargo during long-distance trips.
SDDC anticipates no safety impacts
from this exemption and believes that
its contract employee drivers should be
allowed to follow the requirements in
§ 395.1(q) when transporting shipments
of sensitive DOD cargo. SDDC believes
that shipments made under the
requested exemption would achieve a
level of safety and security that is at
least equivalent to that which would be
obtained by following the normal break
requirement in § 395.3(a)(3)(ii).
SDDC indicated that approximately
1,942 power units and 3,000 drivers
would be covered by the exemption.
The renewed exemption is effective for
5 years, the maximum period allowed
by § 381.300.

VI. Terms of the Exemption
1. Drivers authorized by SDDC to
utilize the exemption renewal, must
have a copy of the exemption document
in their possession while operating
under the terms of the exemption. The
exemption document must be presented
to law enforcement officials upon
request.
2. All motor carriers operating under
this exemption must have a
‘‘Satisfactory’’ safety rating with
FMCSA, or be ‘‘unrated;’’ motor carriers
with ‘‘Conditional’’ or ‘‘Unsatisfactory’’
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:22 Oct 19, 2017
Jkt 244001
FMCSA safety ratings are prohibited
from using this exemption.
Period of the Exemption
The exemption from the requirements
of 49 CFR 395.3(a)(3)(ii) is effective from
12:01 a.m., October 22, 2018, through
11:59 p.m., October 21, 2023.
Extent of the Exemption
The exemption is restricted to SDDC’s
contract driver-employees transporting
security-sensitive materials. This
exemption is limited to the provisions
of 49 CFR 395.3(a)(3)(ii) and allows
contract driver-employees transporting
security-sensitive materials to be treated
the same as drivers transporting
explosives, as provided in Section
395.1(q). These drivers are required to
comply with all other applicable
provisions of the FMCSRs.
In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
31313(d), as implemented by 49 CFR
381.600, during the period this
exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation applicable
to interstate commerce that conflicts
with or is inconsistent with this
exemption with respect to a firm or
person operating under the exemption.
States may, but are not required to,
adopt the same exemption with respect
to operations in intrastate commerce.
FMCSA Accident Notification
SDDC must notify FMCSA within 5
business days of any accidents (as
defined by 49 CFR 390.5) involving the
operation of any of its CMVs while
utilizing this exemption. The
notification must be by email to
MCPSD@DOT.GOV, and include the
following information:
a. Name of the Exemption: ‘‘SDDC’’,
b. Date of the accident,
c. City or town, and State, in which
the accident occurred, or which is
closest to the scene of the accident,
d. Driver’s name and driver’s license
State, number, and class,
e. Co-Driver’s name and driver’s
license State, number, and class,
f. Vehicle company number and
power unit license plate State and
number,
g. Number of individuals suffering
physical injury,
h. Number of fatalities,
i. The police-reported cause of the
accident,
j. Whether the driver was cited for
violation of any traffic laws, or motor
carrier safety regulations, and
k. The total driving time and the total
on-duty time of the CMV driver at the
time of the accident.
Frm 00104
In addition, if there are any injuries or
fatalities, the carrier must forward the
police accident report to MCPSD@
DOT.GOV as soon as available.
Termination
The FMCSA does not believe the
drivers covered by this exemption will
experience any deterioration of their
safety record. However, should this
occur, FMCSA will take all steps
necessary to protect the public interest,
including revocation or restriction of the
exemption. The FMCSA will
immediately revoke or restrict the
exemption for failure to comply with its
terms and conditions.

Commercial Driver’s License
Standards: Application for Exemption;
C.R. England
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of final disposition; grant
of application for exemption.
AGENCY:
FMCSA announces its
decision to re-affirm renewal of an
exemption granted to C.R. England from
the regulation that requires a
commercial learner’s permit (CLP)
holder to be accompanied by a
commercial driver’s license (CDL)
holder with the proper CDL class and
endorsements, seated in the front seat of
the vehicle while the CLP holder
performs behind-the-wheel training on
public roads or highways. Under this
exemption, a CLP holder who has
documentation of passing the CDL skills
test may drive a commercial motor
vehicle (CMV) for C.R. England without
being accompanied by a CDL holder in
the front seat of the vehicle. The
exemption enables CLP holders to drive
as part of a team like other C.R. England
team drivers. FMCSA has analyzed the
public comments in response to the
exemption renewal and has determined
that the renewed exemption, subject to
the terms and conditions imposed, will
likely achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to, or greater than, the level
that would be achieved absent such
exemption.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
Background
FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315 to grant exemptions
from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations. FMCSA must publish a
notice of each exemption request in the
Federal Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)).
The Agency must provide the public an
opportunity to inspect the information
relevant to the application, including
any safety analyses that have been
conducted. The Agency must also
provide an opportunity for public
comment on the request.
The Agency reviews the safety
analyses and the public comments, and
determines whether granting the
exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to, or greater than,
the level that would be achieved by the
current regulation (49 CFR 381.305).
The decision of the Agency must be
published in the Federal Register (49
CFR 381.315(b)) with the reason for the
grant or denial, and, if granted, the
specific person or class of persons
receiving the exemption, and the
regulatory provision or provisions from
which exemption is granted. The notice
must also specify the effective period of
the exemption (up to 5 years), and
explain the terms and conditions of the
exemption. The exemption may be
renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)).

Request for Exemption Renewal
C.R. England’s initial exemption
application from the provisions of 49
CFR 383.25(a)(1) was submitted in 2014;
a copy is in the docket identified at the
beginning of this notice. The 2014
application described fully the nature of
the C.R. England operations and CMV
drivers. The exemption was granted on
June 11, 2015 (80 FR 33329) and
renewed for 5 years on June 12, 2017 (82
FR 26975).
The exemption excuses C.R. England
from the requirement that a driver
accompanying a CLP holder must be
physically present at all times in the
front seat of a CMV, on the condition
that the CLP holder has successfully
passed an approved CDL skills test. C.R.
England’s 2014 application argued that
the existing requirement is inefficient
and unproductive, as the company must
incur added expense to send the driver
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:22 Oct 19, 2017
Jkt 244001
to his or her home State to collect a CDL
document. C.R. England believed that
FMCSA should renew the exemption for
an additional 5-year period because it
results in safer drivers. It allows C.R.
England to foster a more productive and
efficient training environment by
allowing CLP holders to hone their
recently acquired driving skills through
on-the-job training and to begin earning
an income right away, producing
immediate benefits for the driver, the
carrier, and the economy as a whole.
Public Comments
In response to the notice renewing the
exemption, the Agency received six
docket comments from truck drivers,
driver-trainers, and other individuals,
all opposing that decision. These
respondents do not believe that it is safe
for a CLP holder to operate a CMV
without the supervision of a CDL drivertrainer in the front seat of the vehicle.
FMCSA Response and Decision
The premise of respondents opposing
the exemption is that CLP holders lack
experience and are safer drivers when
observed by a CDL driver-trainer who is
on duty and in the front seat of the
vehicle. The fact is that CLP holders
who have passed the CDL skills test are
qualified and eligible to obtain a CDL.
If these CLP holders had obtained their
CLPs and training in their State of
domicile, they could immediately
receive their CDL at the State driver
licensing agency and begin driving a
CMV without any on-board supervision.
There is no evidence that having a CDL
holder accompany a CLP holder who
has passed the skills test improves
safety. Because these drivers have
passed the CDL skills test, the only
thing necessary to obtain the CDL is to
visit the Department of Motor Vehicles
in their State of domicile.
C.R. England’s overall safety
performance is reflected in its
‘‘satisfactory’’ safety rating. The
exemption is restricted to C.R. England’s
CLP holders who have documentation
that they have passed the CDL skills
test. The exemption will enable these
drivers to operate a CMV as a team
driver without requiring the
accompanying CDL holder be on duty
and in the front seat while the vehicle
is moving. FMCSA therefore reaffirms
its decision to renew the exemption
because it will likely enable C.R.
England drivers to achieve a level of
safety equivalent to, or greater than, the
level of safety achieved without the
exemption (49 CFR 381.305(a)).

Terms and Conditions of the Exemption
Period of the Exemption
This exemption from the
requirements of 49 CFR 383.25(a)(1) is
effective during the period from June 13,
2017 through June 12, 2022.
Extent of the Exemption
The exemption is contingent upon
C.R. England maintaining USDOT
registration, minimum levels of public
liability insurance, and not being
subject to any ‘‘imminent hazard’’ or
other out-of- service (OOS) order issued
by FMCSA. Each driver covered by the
exemption must maintain a valid
driver’s license and CLP with the
required endorsements, not be subject to
any OOS order or suspension of driving
privileges, and meet all physical
qualifications required by 49 CFR part
391.
Preemption
During the period this exemption is in
effect, no State may enforce any law or
regulation that conflicts with or is
inconsistent with the exemption with
respect to a person or entity operating
under the exemption (49 U.S.C.
31315(d)).
FMCSA Accident Notification
C.R. England must notify FMCSA
within 5 business days of any accidents
(as defined by 49 CFR 390.5) involving
the operation of any of its CMVs while
utilizing this exemption. The
notification must be by email to
MCPSD@DOT.GOV, and include the
following information:
a. Exemption Identifier: ‘‘C.R.

Title: National 911 Profile Database.
Type of Review: Renewal/New of an
information collection.
Abstract: The National 911 Profile
Database is funded by the National 911
Program, which is housed within the
Office of Emergency Medical Services at
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, part of the U.S.
Department of Transportation. The
National 911 Program is proposing to
continue to collect and aggregate
information from State level reporting
entities that can be used to measure the
progress of 911 authorities across the
country in upgrading their existing
operations and migrating to—digital,
Internet-Protocol-based emergency
communication networks. The data will
be maintained in a ‘‘National 911 Profile
Database.’’ One of the objectives of the
National 911 Program is to develop,
collect, and disseminate information
concerning practices, procedures, and
technology used in the implementation
of 911 services and to support 911
Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs)
and related State and local agencies for
911 deployment and operations. The
National 911 Profile Database can be
used to follow the progress of 911
authorities in enhancing their existing
systems and implementing nextgeneration networks for more advanced
systems. The information can also be
used to identify ways in which the
National 911 Program can support State
and local 911 authorities in the
transition process.
Affected Public: Under this proposed
effort, the National 911 Program would
specifically request reporting entities to
voluntarily collect and annually report
the data described above utilizing a
Web-based data collection tool.
Reporting entities are State level 911
program officials, and the data reported
will reflect State-level aggregated data.
The total maximum number of
respondents is identified at 56,
including the 50 States and the six U.S.
Territories of Guam, U.S. Minor
Outlying Islands, American Samoa,
Mariana Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands,
and Puerto Rico.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The total maximum number of
respondents is identified at 56,
including the 50 States and the six U.S.
Territories of Guam, U.S. Minor
Outlying Islands, American Samoa,
Mariana Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands,
and Puerto Rico.
Frequency: The reporting entities will
be requested to submit data annually

relating to their State or territory, using
the described Web-based tool.
Number of Responses: The total
maximum number of responses is
identified at 56 annually, including the
50 States and the six U.S. Territories of
Guam, U.S. Minor Outlying Islands,
American Samoa, Mariana Islands, U.S.
Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
Agencies estimate that submitting
responses to the questions included in
the proposed survey instrument
utilizing the Web-based tool would
require an average of 98 hours to collect,
aggregate and submit. Estimating the
maximum number of respondents at 56,
this would result in a total burden of
5,488 hours. The respondents would not
incur any reporting costs from the
information collection beyond the time
it takes to gather the information,
prepare it for reporting and then
populate the Web-based data collection
tool. The respondents also would not
incur any recordkeeping burden or
recordkeeping costs from the
information collection.
• The total estimated costs to
respondents or record-keepers are based
on the following:
• The total hour burden of the
collection of information equaling 5,488
hours
• Respondents will be State, territory,
and tribal government management
personnel. To estimate reasonable staff
expenses to respond to this information
collection, the Agencies reviewed the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
Occupational Outlook Handbook and
determined that the Administrative
Services Manager description closely
aligns with the positions of recipient
staff responsible for completing this
request. BLS lists a median salary of
$86,100 annually, amounting to $41.40
per hour.
• There are no capital, start-up, or
annual operation and maintenance costs
involved in the collection of
information.
• Total cost based on hour’s burden
equals $227,203.20.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the
Department’s performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c)
ways for the Department to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (d) ways
that the burden could be minimized
without reducing the quality of the
collected information. The agency will
summarize and/or include your

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 to grant
exemptions from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. FMCSA
must publish a notice of each exemption request in the Federal Register
(49 CFR 381.315(a)). The Agency must provide the public an opportunity
to inspect the information relevant to the application, including any
safety analyses that have been conducted. The Agency must also provide
an opportunity for public comment on the request.
The Agency reviews the safety analyses and the public comments, and
determines whether granting the exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). The decision of
the Agency must be published in the Federal Register (49 CFR
381.315(b)) with the reason for the grant or denial, and, if granted,
the specific person or class of persons receiving the exemption, and
the regulatory provision or provisions from which exemption is granted.
The notice must also specify the effective period of the exemption (up
to 5 years), and explain the terms and conditions of the exemption. The
exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)).
Request for Exemption Renewal
C.R. England's initial exemption application from the provisions of
49 CFR 383.25(a)(1) was submitted in 2014; a copy is in the docket
identified at the beginning of this notice. The 2014 application

This exemption from the requirements of 49 CFR 383.25(a)(1) is
effective during the period from June 13, 2017 through June 12, 2022.
Extent of the Exemption
The exemption is contingent upon C.R. England maintaining USDOT
registration, minimum levels of public liability insurance, and not
being subject to any ``imminent hazard'' or other out-of- service (OOS)
