(11) missing documentation of water
quality considerations.
The FDOT has informed the Review
Team that they have implemented some
corrective actions to address missing
documentation. The FDOT staff
interviews revealed that the SWEPT
system was updated to include a control
to not allow a project file review to be
completed without uploading all
supporting documentation. The FDOT
believes that this system improvement
will ensure that supporting
documentation, that was sometimes
missing as SWEPT was initially
implemented would now be present
prior to an approval point. The
implementation of these improvements
was incorporated after the audit project
file review time frame.
Next Steps
The FHWA provided a draft of the
audit report to FDOT for a 14-day
review and comment period, later
extended to 21-days due to the holidays
occurring during the review period. The
Audit Team considered FDOT’s
comments in this draft audit report. The
FHWA will publish a notice in the
Federal Register for a 30-day comment
period in accordance with 23 U.S.C.
327(g). No later than 60 days after the
close of the comment period, FHWA
will address all comments submitted to
finalize this draft audit report pursuant
to 23 U.S.C. 327(g)(B). Subsequently,
FHWA will publish the final audit
report in the Federal Register.

Correction to Decision That
Nonconforming Model Year 2000 East
Lancashire Coachbuilders Limited
Double Decker Tri-Axle Buses (With
Volvo B7L Chassis) Are Eligible for
Importation
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Correction to previous import
eligibility decision.
AGENCY:
NHTSA is correcting an error
made in its decision that certain model
year (MY) 2000 East Lancashire
Coachbuilders Limited Double Decker
Tri-Axle buses (with Volvo B7L Chassis)
that were not originally manufactured to
comply with all applicable Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS) are eligible for importation
into the United States because they have
safety features that comply with, or are
capable of being altered to comply with,
all applicable FMVSS. The correction is
being made to properly identify the
subject vehicles as MY 2001 models.
DATES: The original eligibility decision
became effective on July 30, 2015. The
correction is effective as of April 8,
2018, and applies to any vehicle that
may have been previously imported
under the original eligibility decision.
ADDRESSES: For further information
contact George Stevens, Office of
Vehicle Safety Compliance, NHTSA
(202–366–5308).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a
motor vehicle that was not originally
manufactured to conform to all
applicable FMVSS shall be refused
admission into the United States unless
NHTSA has decided its safety features
comply with, or are capable of being
altered to comply with, all applicable
FMVSS based on destructive test data or
such other evidence that NHTSA
decides to be adequate.
Petitions for eligibility decisions may
be submitted by either manufacturers or
importers who have registered with
NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR part 592. As
specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
of each petition that it receives, and
affords interested persons an
opportunity to comment on the petition.
At the close of the comment period,
PO 00000
Frm 00083
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has
received, whether the vehicle is eligible
for importation. The agency then
publishes this decision in the Federal
Register.
US Specs, of Havre de Grace,
Maryland (‘‘US Specs’’) (Registered
Importer No. RI–03–321), petitioned
NHTSA to decide whether MY 2000
East Lancashire Coachbuilders Limited
Double Decker Tri-Axle buses (with
Volvo B7L Chassis) are eligible for
importation into the United States.
NHTSA published a notice of the
petition on January 26, 2015 (80 FR
4033) to afford an opportunity for public
comment. No comments were received.
The reader is referred to that notice for
a thorough description of the petition.
A decision granting the referenced
petition was published on August 25,
2015 (80 FR 46645). Under the decision,
certain MY 2000 East Lancashire
Coachbuilders Limited Double Decker
Tri-Axle buses (with Volvo B7L Chassis)
were determined eligible for
importation into the United States.
Import eligibility decisions are made
on a make, model, and model year basis,
typically in response to petitions
submitted by a RI. As specified in 49
CFR 593.6(b)(1), the petitioning RI must,
among other things, identify the model
year and model of the vehicle for which
import eligibility is sought.
In its petition, US Specs identified the
subject vehicle as a MY 2000 East
Lancashire Coachbuilders Limited
Double Decker Tri-Axle buses, built on
a Volvo B7L Chassis. At time of
submission, there was no reason for
NHTSA to question this identification of
the vehicle.
It has since come to the agency’s
attention that manufacturing operations
on the subject vehicle were completed
in calendar year 2001, the same year in
which the bus entered service. Absent a
model year designation from the
manufacturer or the vehicle’s country of
origin, the year in which manufacturing
operations are completed on the vehicle
serves as the vehicle’s model year, as
that term is defined in 49 CFR 593.4.
Correction
Accordingly, on the basis of the
foregoing, NHTSA hereby corrects the
decision granting import eligibility to
MY 2000 East Lancashire Coachbuilders
Limited Double Decker Tri-Axle buses
(mounted on a Volvo B7L Chassis) to
identify the subject vehicles as the MY
2001 version.
Conditions for importation of vehicles
eligible under this corrected decision
remain as outlined in the original
decision. The importer of a vehicle
E:\FR\FM\18APN1.SGM
18APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 18, 2018 / Notices
admissible under any final decision
must indicate on the form HS–7
accompanying entry the appropriate
vehicle eligibility number indicating
that the vehicle is eligible for entry.
VCP–59, the vehicle eligibility number
assigned to vehicles admissible under
the original decision, remains as the
eligibility number for vehicles
admissible under the decision as
corrected in this notice.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis
of Disability in Air Travel.
Type of Review: Renewal of
information collections.
Background: This notice covers two
information collection requirements in
the Department’s Air Carrier Access Act
(ACAA) implementing regulation, 14
CFR part 382 (part 382),
Nondiscrimination on the Basis of
Disability in Air Travel. Specifically,
pursuant to section 382.43(d), covered
carriers must provide an online
mechanism for passengers to request
disability accommodation services (e.g.,
enplaning/deplaning assistance, deaf/
hard of hearing communication
assistance, escort to service animal relief
area, etc.) for a particular flight.
Pursuant to section 382.43(e), covered
carriers must also ensure that when a
user activates a link on a carrier’s
primary website to embedded thirdparty software or to an external website,
a disclaimer is displayed notifying the
user that the application or website may
not be accessible. These requirements
became effective on December 12, 2015,
and December 12, 2016, respectively.
Covered carriers are U.S. and foreign air
carriers that operate at least one aircraft
having a designed seating capacity of
more than 60 passengers and own or
control a primary website that markets
passenger air transportation or a tour, or
tour component that must be purchased
with air transportation, to the general
public in the United States.1
1 While there are approximately 190 U.S. and
foreign air carriers that conduct passenger-carrying
service to, from, or in the United States with at least
one aircraft having a designed seating capacity of
more than 60 seats, not all of those carriers have
a primary website that markets passenger air
transportation to the general public in the U.S. The
Department estimates that approximately 165 of
those 190 carriers are subject to the Department’s
web-accessibility requirements as they operate such
aircraft and have a primary website that markets to
U.S. consumers.

The title, a description of the
information collection and respondents,
and the periodic reporting burden are
set forth below for each of the
information collections:
1. Requirement to make a disability
accommodation service request function
available on the primary website. (14
CFR 382.43(d)).
Each covered carrier must provide a
mechanism on its website for passengers
to request a disability accommodation
service for a future flight and provide
advance notice of their request. Carriers
may, but need not, require passengers to
include contact information on the form
in order to follow-up and request more
specific information about the
passengers’ accommodation needs.
Carriers may also use the aggregate data
from the online service requests to
understand and better plan for the
volume and types of service requests
they receive across time periods and
routes, but also are not required to do
so. While the content and design of the
online service request form is up to the
carriers, the Department anticipates that
each covered U.S. and foreign carrier
that markets scheduled air
transportation to the general public in
the United States would incur initial
costs associated with developing and
reviewing a design and implementation
plan for the request form, developing,
coding, and integrating the form into the
website, as well as testing, debugging,
and connecting the form with a backend
database to store the information. The
final regulatory analysis (FRA) for the
final rule entitled Nondiscrimination on
the Basis of Disability in Air Travel:
Accessibility of Websites and
Automated Kiosks at U.S. Airports
estimated that it will take an average of
32 labor hours per carrier to develop,
implement, integrate, connect, and test
the online request form. Initial costs are
reduced for carriers that rely on a
request form developed by another
entity. There are no recordkeeping or
reporting requirements. However,
carriers should use the service request
information to facilitate appropriate,
timely assistance to their passengers.
Respondents: Certificated U.S. and
foreign air carriers operating to, from,
and within the United States that
operate at least one aircraft having a
seating capacity of more than 60
passengers and own or control a
primary website that markets air
transportation to the general public in
the U.S.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
165 U.S. and foreign carriers, of which
the Department expects all to have
achieved compliance with the
requirement in a prior year. The

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),

ACTION: Correction to previous import eligibility decision.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NHTSA is correcting an error made in its decision that certain
model year (MY) 2000 East Lancashire Coachbuilders Limited Double
Decker Tri-Axle buses (with Volvo B7L Chassis) that were not originally
manufactured to comply with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS) are eligible for importation into the United States
because they have safety features that comply with, or are capable of

being made to properly identify the subject vehicles as MY 2001 models.
DATES: The original eligibility decision became effective on July 30,
2015. The correction is effective as of April 8, 2018, and applies to
any vehicle that may have been previously imported under the original
eligibility decision.
ADDRESSES: For further information contact George Stevens, Office of
Vehicle Safety Compliance, NHTSA (202-366-5308).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a motor vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS shall be
refused admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided its
safety features comply with, or are capable of being altered to comply
with, all applicable FMVSS based on destructive test data or such other
evidence that NHTSA decides to be adequate.
Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in
the Federal Register.
US Specs, of Havre de Grace, Maryland (``US Specs'') (Registered
Importer No. RI-03-321), petitioned NHTSA to decide whether MY 2000
East Lancashire Coachbuilders Limited Double Decker Tri-Axle buses
(with Volvo B7L Chassis) are eligible for importation into the United
States. NHTSA published a notice of the petition on January 26, 2015
(80 FR 4033) to afford an opportunity for public comment. No comments
were received. The reader is referred to that notice for a thorough
description of the petition.
A decision granting the referenced petition was published on August
25, 2015 (80 FR 46645). Under the decision, certain MY 2000 East
Lancashire Coachbuilders Limited Double Decker Tri-Axle buses (with
Volvo B7L Chassis) were determined eligible for importation into the
United States.
Import eligibility decisions are made on a make, model, and model
year basis, typically in response to petitions submitted by a RI. As
specified in 49 CFR 593.6(b)(1), the petitioning RI must, among other
things, identify the model year and model of the vehicle for which
import eligibility is sought.
In its petition, US Specs identified the subject vehicle as a MY
2000 East Lancashire Coachbuilders Limited Double Decker Tri-Axle
buses, built on a Volvo B7L Chassis. At time of submission, there was
no reason for NHTSA to question this identification of the vehicle.
It has since come to the agency's attention that manufacturing
operations on the subject vehicle were completed in calendar year 2001,
the same year in which the bus entered service. Absent a model year
designation from the manufacturer or the vehicle's country of origin,
the year in which manufacturing operations are completed on the vehicle
serves as the vehicle's model year, as that term is defined in 49 CFR
593.4.
Correction
Accordingly, on the basis of the foregoing, NHTSA hereby corrects
the decision granting import eligibility to MY 2000 East Lancashire
Coachbuilders Limited Double Decker Tri-Axle buses (mounted on a Volvo
B7L Chassis) to identify the subject vehicles as the MY 2001 version.
Conditions for importation of vehicles eligible under this
corrected decision remain as outlined in the original decision. The
importer of a vehicle
[[Page 17221]]
admissible under any final decision must indicate on the form HS-7
accompanying entry the appropriate vehicle eligibility number
indicating that the vehicle is eligible for entry. VCP-59, the vehicle
eligibility number assigned to vehicles admissible under the original
decision, remains as the eligibility number for vehicles admissible
under the decision as corrected in this notice.
