SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In its
PTCSP, CN asserts that the I–ETMS
system is designed as a vital overlay
PTC system as defined in 49 CFR
236.1015(e)(2). The PTCSP describes
CN’s I–ETMS implementation and the
associated I–ETMS safety processes,
safety analyses, and test, validation, and
verification processes used during the
development of I–ETMS. The PTCSP
also contains CN’s operational and
support requirements and procedures.
CN’s PTCSP and the accompanying
request for approval and system
certification are available for review
online at www.regulations.gov (Docket
Number FRA–2010–0057), and in
person at DOT’s Docket Operations
Facility, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE,
W12–140, Washington, DC 20590. The
Docket Operations Facility is open from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except Federal Holidays.
Interested parties are invited to
comment on the PTCSP by submitting
written comments or data. During its
review of the PTCSP, FRA will consider
any comments or data submitted.
However, FRA may elect not to respond
to any particular comment and, under
49 CFR 236.1009(d)(3), FRA maintains
the authority to approve or disapprove
the PTCSP at its sole discretion. FRA
does not anticipate scheduling a public
hearing regarding CN’s PTCSP because
the circumstances do not appear to
warrant a hearing. If any interested
party desires an opportunity for oral
comment, the party should notify FRA
in writing before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
for his or her request.

Transportation has the discretionary
authority to issue waivers allowing
documented vessels with registry

this authority, MARAD is providing
notice of the service requirements
proposed by Cooke Aquaculture (Cooke)
in order to make a U.S.-flag vessel
availability determination. Specifics can
be found in Cooke’s application letter

To comply with USCG Aquaculture
Support regulations at 46 CFR part 106,
Cooke is seeking a MARAD Aquaculture
Waiver to operate the vessels RONJA
CARRIER, COLBY PERCE, and SADIE
JANE as follows:
Intended Commercial Use of Vessel:
‘‘to use highly-specialized foreign-flag
vessels referred to as a ‘‘wellboat’’ (or
E:\FR\FM\19DEN1.SGM
19DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 19, 2017 / Notices
‘‘live fish carrier’’) to treat Cooke’s
swimming inventory of farmed Atlantic
salmon in the company’s salt-water
grow-out pens off Maine’s North
Atlantic Coast. This treatment prevents
against parasitic infestation by sea lice
that is highly destructive to the salmon’s
health.’’
Geographic Region: ‘‘off Maine’s
North Atlantic Coast’’.
Requested Time Period: ‘‘2018
calendar year, from January 1 2018 to
December 31, 2018’’ Interested parties

46 CFR part 388, that suitable U.S.-flag
vessels are available to perform the
required services, a waiver will not be

Type of Request: Modification of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: In a separate notice
published in the Federal Register on
September 15, the Department of
Transportation announced the
publication of Voluntary Guidance
titled Automated Driving Systems 2.0: A
Vision for Safety. Recognizing the
potential that Automated Driving
Systems (ADSs) have to enhance safety
and mobility, Automated Driving
Systems 2.0 sets out to support the safe
testing and deployment of Automated
Driving Systems (SAE Automation
Levels 3 through 5—Conditional, High,
and Full Automation Systems as
defined in SAE J3016) on public roads.
Automated Driving Systems 2.0: A
Vision for Safety contains two primary
sections: Voluntary Guidance for
Automated Driving Systems and
Technical Assistance to States.
Consistent with its statutory purpose
to reduce traffic crashes and deaths and
injuries resulting from traffic crashes,
NHTSA is amending its
recommendations for recordkeeping and
disclosure of information related to
automated vehicle technologies by
vehicle manufacturers and other entities
as described in the Voluntary Guidance
section of Automated Driving Systems
2.0: A Vision for Safety. Specifically,
NHTSA recommends that
manufacturers and other entities assess
their ADS-equipped vehicle against
specific safety elements (which were
developed from industry best practices,
existing research, and public input) and
document that assessment. Further, the
Voluntary Guidance recommends that
entities summarize that assessment and
then voluntarily disclose that summary
to the public. The section Technical
Assistance to States contains no
information collection and thus no
associated burden.
The Voluntary Guidance is meant to
help entities evaluate and achieve safety
goals while assisting states and the
public in understanding how safety is
being considered by manufacturers and
other entities developing and testing
ADSs. By encouraging documentation,
recordkeeping, and disclosures, NHTSA
hopes to encourage safe system design
while speeding the safe deployment of
these potentially life-saving
technologies and reducing crashes that
occur on the nation’s roadways.
As stipulated in the September 15,
2017 Federal Register notice
announcing the proposed collection of
information (81 FR 43450), the burden
estimates are based on the Agency’s
present understanding of the ADS
market and the time associated with
