SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to title 49 CFR part 601, subpart D, FTA

FTA requirements.
A grantee or subgrantee may submit a
petition for waiver of FTA requirements

Alternatively, a grantee or subgrantee
may submit a petition in duplicate to
the FTA Administrator, via U.S. mail or

hand delivery, to: Federal Transit
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave.
SE, Washington, DC 20590; via
telephone, at: (202) 366–4011; via fax, at
(202) 366–3472; via email, to
Bonnie.Graves@dot.gov; or via U.S. mail
or hand delivery to the DOT Docket
Management Facility, 1200 New Jersey
Ave. SE, Room W12–140, Washington,
DC 20590, including the information set
forth below.
All petitions for relief from a
provision of chapter 53 of title 49,
U.S.C. or FTA administrative
requirements must be posted in the
docket in order to receive consideration
by FTA. The docket is publicly available
and can be accessed 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, via the internet at
www.regulations.gov. Any grantee or
subgrantee submitting petitions for
relief or comments to the docket must
include the agency name (Federal
Transit Administration) and docket
number FTA–2018–0001. Grantees and
subgrantees making submissions to FTA
or to the docket by mail or hand
delivery should submit two copies.
Grantees and subgrantees are strongly
encouraged to contact their FTA
regional office and notify FTA of the
intent to submit a petition to the docket.
In the event a grantee or subgrantee
needs to request immediate relief and
does not have access to electronic
means to request that relief, the grantee
or subgrantee may contact any FTA
regional office or FTA headquarters and
request that FTA staff submit the
petition on its behalf.
Federal public transportation law at
49 U.S.C. 5324(d) provides that a grant
awarded under Section 5324 or under
49 U.S.C. 5307 or 49 U.S.C. 5311 that is
made to address an emergency shall be
subject to the terms and conditions the
Secretary determines are necessary. This
language allows FTA to waive statutory,
as well as administrative, requirements.
Therefore, grantees and subgrantees
affected by an emergency or major
disaster may request waivers of
provisions of chapter 53 of title 49,
U.S.C. when a grantee or subgrantee
demonstrates the requirement(s) will
limit a grantee’s or subgrantee’s ability
to respond to an emergency. Grantees
must follow the procedures set forth
below when requesting a waiver of
statutory or administrative
requirements.
A petition for relief shall:
(a) Identify the grantee or subgrantee
and its geographic location;
(b) Identify the section of chapter 53
of title 49, U.S.C., or the FTA policy
statement, circular, guidance document
and/or rule from which the grantee or
subgrantee seeks relief;
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(c) Specifically address how a
requirement in chapter 53 of title 49
U.S.C., or an FTA requirement in a
policy statement, circular, agency
guidance or rule will limit a grantee’s or
subgrantee’s ability to respond to an
emergency or disaster; and
(d) Specify if the petition for relief is
one-time or ongoing, and if ongoing
identify the time period for which the
relief is requested. The time period may
not exceed three months; however,
additional time may be requested
through a second petition for relief.
A petition for relief from
administrative requirements will be
conditionally granted for a period of
three (3) business days from the date it
is submitted to the Emergency Relief
Docket. FTA will review the petition
after the expiration of the three business
days and review any comments
submitted thereto. FTA may contact the
grantee or subgrantee that submitted the
request for relief, or any party that
submits comments to the docket, to
obtain more information prior to making
a decision. FTA shall then post a
decision to the Emergency Relief
Docket. FTA’s decision will be based on
whether the petition meets the criteria
for use of these emergency procedures,
the substance of the request, and the
comments submitted regarding the
petition. If FTA does not respond to the
request for relief to the docket within
three business days, the grantee or
subgrantee may assume its petition is
granted for a period not to exceed three
months until and unless FTA states
otherwise.
A petition for relief from statutory
requirements will not be conditionally
granted and requires a written decision
from the FTA Administrator.
Pursuant to 49 CFR 604.2(f) of FTA’s
Charter Rule, grantees and subgrantees
may assist with evacuations or other
movement of people that might
otherwise be considered charter
transportation when that transportation
is in response to an emergency declared
by the President, governor, or mayor, or
in an emergency requiring immediate
action prior to a formal declaration,
even if a formal declaration of an
emergency is not eventually made by
the President, governor or mayor.
Therefore, a request for relief is not
necessary in order to provide this
service. However, if the emergency lasts
more than 45 calendar days, the grantee
or subgrantee shall follow the
procedures set out in this notice.
FTA reserves the right to reconsider
any decision made pursuant to these
emergency procedures based upon its
own initiative, based upon information
or comments received subsequent to the
E:\FR\FM\02FEN1.SGM
02FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 23 / Friday, February 2, 2018 / Notices
three business day comment period, or
at the request of a grantee or subgrantee
upon denial of a request for relief. FTA
shall notify the grantee or subgrantee if
it plans to reconsider a decision. FTA
decision letters, either granting or
denying a petition, shall be posted in
the Emergency Relief Docket and shall
reference the document number of the
petition to which it relates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
OMB for each collection of information
that they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) to include agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. The OCC
requests that OMB extend its approval
of this collection.
Title: Bank Activities and Operations;
Investment in Bank Premises.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0204.
Description: The information
collection requirements ensure that
institutions conduct their operations in
a safe and sound manner and in

savings association may invest in
banking premises and other premisesrelated investments, loans, or
indebtedness by filing an application for
prior approval whenever its investment
in bank premises will cause it to exceed
its capital stock. The application must
describe the present and proposed
investment and the business reason for
exceeding the limit. A bank with a
composite 1 or 2 CAMELS rating
entering a transaction that increases its
aggregate bank premises investment to
not more than 150 percent of its capital
and surplus may proceed without prior
OCC approval, but must provide an
after-the-fact notice.

both parties and providing for
remuneration of the agent.

national bank’s honorary or advisory
directors must distinguish between
those directors and the bank’s board of
directors or indicate their advisory
status.
• 12 CFR 7.2014(b) (Indemnification
of institution-affiliated parties—
Administrative proceeding or civil
actions not initiated by a federal
agency). A national bank shall designate
in its bylaws the body of law selected
for making indemnification payments.
• 12 CFR 7.2024(a) (Staggered terms
for national bank directors). Any
national bank may adopt bylaws that
provide for staggering the terms of its
directors. National banks shall provide
the OCC with copies of any bylaws so
amended.
