Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 24 / Tuesday, February 5, 2019 / Notices The FAST Act also requires FMCSA to undertake a comprehensive review of its guidance. FMCSA has now completed its review of guidance documents dealing with commercial drivers’ licenses and will publish a separate notice in the Federal Register seeking public comment on the specific actions that FMCSA would like to undertake as a result of this review. Content of Comments The Department will review all comments submitted timely to the docket associated with this notice [insert docket number]. To maximize the usefulness of comments, the Department encourages commenters to provide the following information: 1. A specific reference to the guidance document and associated statutes or regulations that the comment discusses. This should include the agency that issued the guidance document (e.g., FHWA, FMCSA), the title or subject, the date of issuance, and a guidance document number or an internet link. If possible, the reference also should include citations to the associated statutes (e.g., FAST Act) or regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations. A specific reference will assist the Department in identifying the guidance document and any associated statutory or regulatory requirements. 2. A description of the problem with the specific guidance document. A comment that explains why the guidance document should be eliminated or revised is more useful than a comment that merely asserts that the guidance should be eliminated/ revised. Comments that reflect experience with the guidance or a related statutory or regulatory requirement and provide data describing that experience are more helpful than comments that are not tied to direct experience. Verifiable, quantifiable data describing burdens are more useful than anecdotal descriptions. 3. A description of alternatives that are better than the specific guidance document. If the commenter believes that the objective that motivated the guidance document may be achieved using a better alternative, the commenter should describe that alternative in detail. Likewise, if the commenter believes that there is not a better alternative or there is not a legitimate objective served by the guidance document, then that should be explained in the comment. 4. Examples of entities that are, have been, or will be negatively affected by the specific guidance document and examples of entities that will benefit if VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:22 Feb 04, 2019 Jkt 247001 the guidance is removed or revised. A comment listing specific entities is more useful because it will assist the Department in investigating the guidance document and its impact. Scope of Comments The Department is interested in comments on any guidance document issued by OST or any DOT operating administration that is a good candidate for repeal or revision. Issued on: January 30, 2019. Jeffrey A. Rosen, Deputy Secretary.
