Notice of Public Meeting: National
Dialogue on Highway Automation
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
AGENCY:
FHWA will conduct a series
of public meetings to seek input on the
integration of automated vehicles on the
Nation’s roadways that will be held at
different locations across the country.
The objectives of the public meetings
are to: engage with a diverse group of
stakeholders to understand key issues
regarding automated vehicles and their
implications for the roadway
infrastructure; and gather input on
highway automation to help inform
FHWA research, policy, and programs.
The public meetings will have
presentations and breakout sessions
during which participants can provide
written and oral comments. This
meeting is the first in a series of related
public meetings being conducted during
2018.
DATE AND TIME: FHWA will hold the first
public meeting on June 7, 2018, in
Detroit, Michigan. The meeting will
start at 8 a.m. and continue until 2 p.m.
EDT. Check-in will begin at 7:30 a.m.
Attendees should arrive early enough to

attendees. Attendees should register at:
https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/automation
dialogue/index.htm. Please provide
your name, email address, and
affiliation. In person attendance will be
limited, so advance registration is
required. Should it be necessary to
cancel the meeting due to inclement
weather or other emergency, FHWA will
take all available measures to notify
registered participants beforehand.
Background
Automated vehicles have the
potential to significantly transform the
Nation’s roadways. They could help
save lives, expand access to
transportation, and improve the
convenience of travel. However, even as
these technologies offer new
opportunities, they may introduce new
challenges for those responsible for the
planning, design, construction,
operation, and maintenance of the
Nation’s roadway infrastructure. As a
result, FHWA is interested in better
understanding the implications of
highway automation for its stakeholders
and the Agency.
As the effect of automation on the
Nation’s roadways becomes clearer,
FHWA will define its role in further
facilitating innovation and enabling the
benefits of the capabilities. This
National Dialogue on Highway
Automation is an opportunity to engage
the public and broad stakeholder
community to understand their key
areas of interest. These stakeholders will
include original equipment
manufacturers, technology suppliers,
transportation network companies,
associations, and public-sector partners.
The National Dialogue will help inform
national research, policy, and
implementation assistance activities to
support highway automation readiness.
This meeting is one in a series of related
public meetings being conducted during
2018.

Overcrossing in the City of Los Angeles.
The proposed structure would bypass
the bottleneck intersections at Flower
St. and Adams Blvd. and NB I–110 HOT
off-ramp to Adams Blvd., connecting the
HOT lane traffic to Figueroa St. The
structure would be approximately 1400
feet in length with two standard lanes
(twelve feet in width) and a four-foot
left shoulder as well as eight-foot right
shoulder will be provided. All new
structures will be within State right of
way; minimal right of way acquisition

Federal agencies, and the laws under
which such actions were taken, are

BILLING CODE 4910–RY–P
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2018–0048]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on May 25, 2018, the Santa Clara
Valley Transportation Authority
(SCVTA) and the American Federation
of State, County and Municipal
Employees (AFSCME) petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
for a waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal hours of
service laws contained at 49 U.S.C.
21105, which in part prohibit a
dispatching service employee from
being on duty for more than a total of
9 hours during a 24-hour period. FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number
FRA–2018–0048.
Specifically, Petitioners seek approval
of a pilot project under 49 U.S.C. 21108,
which allows railroads and labor
organizations to jointly petition for a
waiver of compliance from the hours of
service laws to enable the establishment
of a pilot project. The proposed pilot
project would permit a 4-day, 10 hoursper-day work week for the affected
employees, ‘‘the controllers’’ on the
SCVTA system. Petitioners allege the
pilot project will enhance safety of
operations due to the increased
flexibility in terms of staff assignments
and covering unanticipated occurrences
on the system, be beneficial to morale,
and will provide more flexibility in
arranging for ongoing training for
employees without having to ask them
to sacrifice days off from work.
Petitioners explain that SCVTA is a
public agency, with light rail transit
operations on three lines, including the
Vasona Corridor, which shares a
corridor and grade crossings, but not
tracks, with Union Pacific Railroad
Company (UP). AFSCME is the
authorized collective bargaining
representative for the controllers, the
employees on the SCVTA system that
PO 00000

Fmt 4703

dispatch SCVTA light rail trains. UP
train crews contact the SCVTA
Operating Control Center prior to
operating in the shared corridor, but
SCVTA controllers do not otherwise
communicate directly with UP train
crews, nor do they share a radio
frequency with UP.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at
the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
(DOT) 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
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested parties desire
an opportunity for oral comment and a
public hearing, they should notify FRA,
in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
for their request.
All communications concerning these
proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be
submitted by any of the following
methods:
• Website: https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
• Fax: 202–493–2251.
• Mail: Docket Operations Facility,
U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE, W12–140,
Washington, DC 20590.
• Hand Delivery: 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Room W12–140,
Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m.
and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.
Communications received by July 23,
2018 will be considered by FRA before
final action is taken. Comments received
after that date will be considered if
practicable.
Anyone can search the electronic
form of any written communications
and comments received into any of our
dockets by the name of the individual
submitting the comment (or signing the
document, if submitted on behalf of an
association, business, labor union, etc.).
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits
comments from the public to better
inform its processes. DOT posts these
comments, without edit, including any
personal information the commenter
provides, to www.regulations.gov, as
