SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    A primary goal of the Department of Transportation (Department or 
DOT) is to allow the public to understand how we make decisions, which 
necessarily includes being transparent in the way we measure the risks, 
costs, and benefits of engaging in--or deciding not to engage in--a 
particular regulatory action. As such, it is our policy to provide an 
opportunity for public comment on such actions to all interested 
stakeholders. Above all, transparency and meaningful engagement mandate 
that regulations should be straightforward, clear, and accessible to 
any interested stakeholder. The Department also embraces the notion 
that there should be no more regulations than necessary. We emphasize 
consideration of non-regulatory solutions and have rigorous processes 
in place for continual reassessment of existing regulations. These 
processes provide that regulations and other agency actions are 
periodically reviewed and, if appropriate, are revised to ensure that 
they continue to meet the needs for which they were originally 
designed, and that they remain cost-effective and cost-justified.
    To help the Department achieve its goals and in accordance with 
Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' (58 
FR 51735; Oct. 4, 1993) and the Department's Regulatory Policies and 
Procedures (44 FR 11034; Feb. 26, 1979), the Department prepares a 
semiannual regulatory and deregulatory agenda. It summarizes all 
current and projected rulemakings, reviews of existing regulations, and 
completed actions of the Department. These are matters on which action 
has begun or is projected during the next 12 months or for which action 
has been completed since the last Agenda.
    In addition, this Agenda was prepared in accordance with three 
Executive orders issued by President Trump, which directed agencies to 
further scrutinize their regulations and other agency actions. On 
January 30, 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order 13771, 
Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs. Under section 
2(a) of the Executive order, unless prohibited by law, whenever an 
executive department or agency publicly proposes for notice and comment 
or otherwise promulgates a new regulation, it must identify at least 
two existing regulations to be repealed. On February 24, 2017, 
President Trump signed Executive Order 13777, Enforcing the Regulatory 
Reform Agenda. Under this Executive order, each agency must establish a 
Regulatory Reform Task Force (RRTF) to evaluate existing regulations, 
and make recommendations for their repeal, replacement, or 
modification. On March 28, 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order 
13783, Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth, requiring 
agencies to review all existing regulations, orders, guidance 
documents, policies, and other similar agency actions that potentially 
burden the development or use of domestically produced energy 
resources, with particular attention to oil, natural gas, coal, and 
nuclear energy resources.
    In response to the mandate in Executive Order 13777, the Department 
formed an RRTF consisting of senior career and non-career leaders, 
which has already conducted extensive reviews of existing regulations, 
and identified a number of rules to be repealed, replaced, or modified. 
As a result of the RRTF's work, since January 2017, the Department has 
issued deregulatory actions that reduce regulatory costs on the public 
by over $3.2 billion (in net present value cost savings). Even when the 
costs of significant regulatory actions are factored in, the 
Department's deregulatory actions still result in over $2.9 billion in 
net cost savings (in net present value). With the RRTF's assistance, 
the Department has achieved these cost savings in a manner that is 
fully consistent with enhancing safety. For example, in March 2019, 
FMCSA promulgated a rule titled ELDT Class B to Class A Upgrade, which 
will save truck drivers more than $250 million by making it easier (and 
cheaper) for a driver who already holds a Class B CDL to upgrade to a 
Class A CDL, without having to take the same training again. This 
reduces waste without affecting safety.
    The Department has also significantly increased the number of 
deregulatory actions it is pursuing. Today, DOT is pursuing over 130 
deregulatory rulemakings, up from just 16 in the fall of 2016.

[[Page 71163]]

    While each regulatory and deregulatory action is evaluated on its 
own merits, the RRTF augments the Department's consideration of 
prospective rulemakings by conducting monthly reviews across all OAs to 
identify appropriate deregulatory actions. The RRTF also works to 
ensure that any new regulatory action is rigorously vetted and non-
regulatory alternatives are considered. Further information on the RRTF 
can be found online at: https://www.transportation.gov/regulations/regulatory-reform-task-force-report.
    The Department's ongoing regulatory effort is guided by four 
fundamental principles--safety, innovation, enabling investment in 
infrastructure, and reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens. These 
priorities are grounded in our national interest in maintaining U.S. 
global leadership in safety, innovation, and economic growth. To 
accomplish our regulatory goals, we must create a regulatory 
environment that fosters growth in new and innovative industries 
without burdening them with unnecessary restrictions. At the same time, 
safety remains our highest priority; we must remain focused on managing 
safety risks and being sure that we do not regress from the successes 
already achieved. Our planned regulatory actions reflect a careful 
balance that emphasizes the Department's priority in fostering 
innovation while at the same time meeting the challenges of maintaining 
a safe, reliable, and sustainable transportation system.
    For example, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 
(NHTSA) is working on reducing regulatory barriers to technology 
innovation, including the integration of automated vehicles, while 
continuing to focus on safety. Automated vehicles are expected to 
increase safety significantly by reducing the likelihood of human error 
when driving, which today accounts for the overwhelming majority of 
accidents on our nation's roadways. NHTSA plans to issue regulatory 
actions that; (1) allow for permanent updates to current FMVSS 
reflecting new technology; and (2) allow for updates to NHTSA's 
regulations outlining the administrative processes for petitioning the 
agency for exemptions, rulemakings, and reconsiderations. Similarly, 
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is working to enable, safely 
and efficiently, the integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) 
into the National Airspace System. UAS are expected to continue to 
drive innovation and increase safety as operators and manufacturers 
find new and inventive uses for UAS. For instance, UAS are poised to 
assist human operators with a number of different mission sets such as 
inspection of critical infrastructure and search and rescue, enabling 
beneficial and lifesaving activities that would otherwise be difficult 
or even impossible for a human to accomplish unassisted. The Department 
has regulatory efforts underway to further integrate UAS safely and 
efficiently.
    The Department is working on several rulemakings to facilitate a 
major transformation of our national space program from one in which 
the federal government has a primary role to one in which private 
industry drives growth in innovation and launches. The FAA has proposed 
a rule that will fundamentally change how FAA licenses launches and 
reentries of commercial space vehicles moving from prescriptive 
requirements to a performance based approach.

Explanation of Information in the Agenda

    An Office of Management and Budget memorandum, dated June 26, 2019, 
establishes the format for this Agenda.
    First, the Agenda is divided by initiating offices. Then the Agenda 
is divided into five categories: (1) Prerule stage; (2) proposed rule 
stage; (3) final rule stage; (4) long-term actions; and (5) completed 
actions. For each entry, the Agenda provides the following information: 
(1) Its ``significance''; (2) a short, descriptive title; (3) its legal 
basis; (4) the related regulatory citation in the Code of Federal 
Regulations; (5) any legal deadline and, if so, for what action (e.g., 
NPRM, final rule); (6) an abstract; (7) a timetable, including the 
earliest expected date for when a rulemaking document may publish; (8) 
whether the rulemaking will affect small entities and/or levels of 
Government and, if so, which categories; (9) whether a Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (RFA) analysis is required (for rules that would have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities); 
(10) a listing of any analyses an office will prepare or has prepared 
for the action (with minor exceptions, DOT requires an economic 
analysis for all its rulemakings); (11) an agency contact office or 
official who can provide further information; (12) a Regulation 
Identifier Number (RIN) assigned to identify an individual rulemaking 
in the Agenda and facilitate tracing further action on the issue; (13) 
whether the action is subject to the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act; (14) 
whether the action is subject to the Energy Act; (15) the action's 
designation under Executive Order 13771 explaining whether the action 
will have a regulatory or deregulatory effect; and (16) whether the 
action is major under the congressional review provisions of the Small 
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.
    For nonsignificant regulations issued routinely and frequently as a 
part of an established body of technical requirements (such as the 
Federal Aviation Administration's Airspace Rules), to keep those 
requirements operationally current, we only include the general 
category of the regulations, the identity of a contact office or 
official, and an indication of the expected number of regulations; we 
do not list individual regulations.
    In the ``Timetable'' column, we use abbreviations to indicate the 
particular documents being considered. ANPRM stands for Advance Notice 
of Proposed Rulemaking, SNPRM for Supplemental Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking, and NPRM for Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Listing a 
future date in this column does not mean we have made a decision to 
issue a document; it is the earliest date on which a rulemaking 
document may publish. In addition, these dates are based on current 
schedules. Information received after the issuance of this Agenda could 
result in a decision not to take regulatory action or in changes to 
proposed publication dates. For example, the need for further 
evaluation could result in a later publication date; evidence of a 
greater need for the regulation could result in an earlier publication 
date.
    Finally, a dot () preceding an entry indicates that the 
entry appears in the Agenda for the first time.
    The internet is the basic means for disseminating the Unified 
Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda is available online at 
www.reginfo.gov in a format that offers users a greatly enhanced 
ability to obtain information from the Agenda database. A portion of 
the Agenda is published in the Federal Register, however, because the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602) mandates publication for the 
regulatory flexibility agenda. Accordingly, DOT's printed Agenda 
entries include only:
    1. The agency's Agenda preamble;
    2. Rules that are in the agency's regulatory flexibility agenda, in 
accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because they are likely 
to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities; and
    3. Any rules that the agency has identified for periodic review 
under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain 
information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act's

[[Page 71164]]

Agenda requirements. These elements are: Sequence Number; Title; 
Section 610 Review, if applicable; Legal Authority; Abstract; 
Timetable; Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Required; Agency Contact; 
and Regulation Identifier Number (RIN). Additional information (for 
detailed list, see section heading ``Explanation of Information on the 
Agenda'') on these entries is available in the Unified Agenda published 
on the internet.

Request for Comments

General

    Our Agenda is intended primarily for the use of the public. Since 
its inception, we have made modifications and refinements that we 
believe provide the public with more helpful information, as well as 
making the Agenda easier to use. We would like you, the public, to make 
suggestions or comments on how the Agenda could be further improved.

Reviews

    We also seek your suggestions on which of our existing regulations 
you believe need to be reviewed to determine whether they should be 
revised or revoked. We particularly draw your attention to the 
Department's review plan in appendix D.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Department is especially interested in obtaining information on 
requirements that have a ``significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities'' and, therefore, must be reviewed under the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act. If you have any suggested regulations, 
please submit them to us, along with your explanation of why they 
should be reviewed.
    In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, comments are 
specifically invited on regulations that we have targeted for review 
under section 610 of the Act. The phrase (sec. 610 Review) appears at 
the end of the title for these reviews. Please see appendix D for the 
Department's section 610 review plans.

Consultation With State, Local, and Tribal Governments

    Executive Orders 13132 and 13175 require us to develop an account 
process to ensure ``meaningful and timely input'' by State, local, and 
tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies that have 
federalism or tribal implications. These policies are defined in the 
Executive orders to include regulations that have ``substantial direct 
effects'' on States or Indian tribes, on the relationship between the 
Federal Government and them, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities between the Federal Government and various levels of 
Government or Indian tribes. Therefore, we encourage State and local 
Governments or Indian tribes to provide us with information about how 
the Department's rulemakings impact them.

Purpose

    The Department is publishing this regulatory Agenda in the Federal 
Register to share with interested members of the public the 
Department's preliminary expectations regarding its future regulatory 
actions. This should enable the public to be more aware of the 
Department's regulatory activity and should result in more effective 
public participation. This publication in the Federal Register does not 
impose any binding obligation on the Department or any of the offices 
within the Department with regard to any specific item on the Agenda. 
Regulatory action, in addition to the items listed, is not precluded.

Elaine L. Chao,
Secretary of Transportation.

Appendix D--Review Plans for Section 610 and Other Requirements

Part I--The Plan

General

    The Department of Transportation has long recognized the importance 
of regularly reviewing its existing regulations to determine whether 
they need to be revised or revoked. Our Regulatory Policies and 
Procedures require such reviews. We also have responsibilities under 
Executive Order 12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' Executive 
Order 13563, ``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review,'' 76 FR 3821 
(January 18, 2011), Executive Order 13771 ``Reducing Regulation and 
Controlling Regulatory Costs,'' Executive Order 13777, ``Enforcing the 
Regulatory Agenda,'' and

[[Page 71165]]

section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act to conduct such reviews. 
This includes the designation of a Regulatory Reform Officer, the 
establishment of a Regulatory Reform Task Force, and the use of plain 
language techniques in new rules and considering its use in existing 
rules when we have the opportunity and resources to revise them. We are 
committed to continuing our reviews of existing rules and, if it is 
needed, will initiate rulemaking actions based on these reviews. The 
Department will begin a new 10-year review cycle with the Fall 2018 
Agenda.

Section 610 Review Plan

    Section 610 requires that we conduct reviews of rules that: (1) 
Have been published within the last 10 years; and (2) have a 
``significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities'' (SEISNOSE). It also requires that we publish in the Federal 
Register each year a list of any such rules that we will review during 
the next year. The Office of the Secretary and each of the Department's 
Operating Administrations have a 10-year review plan. These reviews 
comply with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Changes to the Review Plan

    Some reviews may be conducted earlier than scheduled. For example, 
to the extent resources permit, the plain language reviews will be 
conducted more quickly. Other events, such as accidents, may result in 
the need to conduct earlier reviews of some rules. Other factors may 
also result in the need to make changes; for example, we may make 
changes in response to public comment on this plan or in response to a 
presidentially mandated review. If there is any change to the review 
plan, we will note the change in the following Agenda. For any section 
610 review, we will provide the required notice prior to the review.

Part II--The Review Process

The Analysis

    Generally, the agencies have divided their rules into 10 different 
groups and plan to analyze one group each year. For purposes of these 
reviews, a year will coincide with the fall-to-fall schedule for 
publication of the Agenda. Most agencies provide historical information 
about the reviews that have occurred over the past 10 years. Thus, Year 
1 (2018) begins in the fall of 2018 and ends in the fall of 2019; Year 
2 (2019) begins in the fall of 2019 and ends in the fall of 2020, and 
so on. The exception to this general rule is the FAA, which provides 
information about the reviews it completed for this year and 
prospective information about the reviews it intends to complete in the 
next 10 years. Thus, for FAA Year 1 (2017) begins in the fall of 2017 
and ends in the fall of 2018; Year 2 (2018) begins in the fall of 2018 
and ends in the fall of 2019, and so on. We request public comment on 
the timing of the reviews. For example, is there a reason for 
scheduling an analysis and review for a particular rule earlier than we 
have? Any comments concerning the plan or analyses should be submitted 
to the regulatory contacts listed in appendix B, General Rulemaking 
Contact Persons.

Section 610 Review

    The agency will analyze each of the rules in a given year's group 
to determine whether any rule has a SEISNOSE and, thus, requires review 
in accordance with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The 
level of analysis will, of course, depend on the nature of the rule and 
its applicability. Publication of agencies' section 610 analyses listed 
each fall in this Agenda provides the public with notice and an 
opportunity to comment consistent with the requirements of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act. We request that public comments be 
submitted to us early in the analysis year concerning the small entity 
impact of the rules to help us in making our determinations.
    In each Fall Agenda, the agency will publish the results of the 
analyses it has completed during the previous year. For rules that had 
a negative finding on SEISNOSE, we will give a short explanation (e.g., 
``these rules only establish petition processes that have no cost 
impact'' or ``these rules do not apply to any small entities''). For 
parts, subparts, or other discrete sections of rules that do have a 
SEISNOSE, we will announce that we will be conducting a formal section 
610 review during the following 12 months. At this stage, we will add 
an entry to the Agenda in the pre-rulemaking section describing the 
review in more detail. We also will seek public comment on how best to 
lessen the impact of these rules and provide a name or docket to which 
public comments can be submitted. In some cases, the section 610 review 
may be part of another unrelated review of the rule. In such a case, we 
plan to clearly indicate which parts of the review are being conducted 
under section 610.

Other Reviews

    The agency will also examine the specified rules to determine 
whether any other reasons exist for revising or revoking the rule or 
for rewriting the rule in plain language. In each Fall Agenda, the 
agency will also publish information on the results of the examinations 
completed during the previous year.

Part III--List of Pending Section 610 Reviews

    The Agenda identifies the pending DOT section 610 Reviews by 
inserting ``(Section 610 Review)'' after the title for the specific 
entry. For further information on the pending reviews, see the Agenda 
entries at www.reginfo.gov. For example, to obtain a list of all 
entries that are in section 610 Reviews under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act, a user would select the desired responses on the 
search screen (by selecting ``advanced search'') and, in effect, 
generate the desired ``index'' of reviews.

Federal Aviation Administration

Section 610 and Other Reviews
    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has elected to use the 
two-step, two-year process used by most Department of Transportation 
(DOT) modes in past plans. As such, the FAA has divided its rules into 
10 groups as displayed in the table below. During the first year (the 
``analysis year''), all rules published during the previous 10 years 
within a 10% block of the regulations will be analyzed to identify 
those with a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities (SEISNOSE). During the second year (the ``review 
year''), each rule identified in the analysis year as having a SEISNOSE 
will be reviewed in accordance with Section 610(b) to determine if it 
should be continued without change or changed to minimize impact on 
small entities. Results of those reviews will be published in the DOT 
Semiannual Regulatory Agenda.

Defining SEISNOSE for FAA Regulations
    The RFA does not define ``significant economic impact.'' Therefore, 
there is no clear rule or number to determine when a significant 
economic impact occurs. However, the Small Business Administration 
(SBA) states that significance should be determined by considering the 
size of the business, the size of the competitor's business, and the 
impact the same regulation has on larger competitors.
    Likewise, the RFA does not define ``substantial number.'' However, 
the legislative history of the RFA suggests that a substantial number 
must be at least one but does not need to be an overwhelming percentage 
such as more than half. The SBA states that the substantiality of the 
number of small businesses affected should be determined on an 
industry-specific basis.
    This analysis consisted of the following three steps:
    1. Review of the number of small entities affected by the 
amendments to parts 133 through 139 and parts 157 through 169.
    2. Identification and analysis of all amendments to parts 133 
through 139 and parts 157 through 169 since 2009 to determine whether 
any still have or now have a SEISNOSE.
    3. Review of the FAA's regulatory flexibility assessment of each 
amendment performed as required by the RFA.

Federal-Aid Highway Program
    The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has adopted regulations 
in title 23 of the CFR, chapter I, related to the Federal-Aid Highway 
Program. These regulations implement and carry out the provisions of 
Federal law relating to the administration of Federal aid for highways. 
The primary law authorizing Federal aid for highways is chapter I of 
title 23 of the U.S.C. 145, which expressly provides for a federally 
assisted State program. For this reason, the regulations adopted by the 
FHWA in title 23 of the CFR primarily relate to the requirements that 
States must meet to receive Federal funds for construction and other 
work related to highways. Because the regulations in title 23 primarily 
relate to States, which are not defined as small entities under the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, the FHWA believes that its regulations in 
title 23 do not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. The FHWA solicits public comment on this 
preliminary conclusion.

Year 10 (Fall 2018) List of Rules With Ongoing Analysis
49 CFR part 395--Hours of Service (HOS) of Drivers

    Section 610: FMCSA conducted a review of 49 CFR part 395, and found 
there was a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities (SEIOSNOSE). The rule restricts the number of hours that 
a commercial driver can operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). The 
SEIOSNOSE is driven by the potential loss of revenue that drivers and 
motor carriers could experience if they could operate without 
restriction. The Federal HOS regulations promote safe driving of CMV's 
by limiting on-duty driving time; thereby improving the likelihood that 
drivers have adequate time for restorative rest. Tangible benefits to 
small businesses include; streamlined operations, reduced operational 
cost, maximized productivity, lowered insurance, improved vehicle 
diagnostics, reduced administrative burden, and increased profits.
    General: FMCSA currently is engaged in rulemakings that would: (1) 
Add flexibilities to the HOS regulations; and (2) clarify the meaning 
of ``agricultural commodities'' whose transport is exempt from the HOS 
regulations if certain requirements are met. Aside from the issues 
being addressed in these rulemakings, FMCSA has determined that the 
regulatory value of the HOS regulations is significant and that it 
should be retained. The rule reduces fatigue related crashes, 
fatalities, and injuries. These regulations are written consistent with 
plain language guidelines, and uses clear and unambiguous language. The 
cost burden imposed on a small business is reasonable when compared to 
the benefits.

Equipment Provider, Broker, Freight Forwarder, and Hazardous Materials 
Proceedings
    Section 610: FMCSA conducted a review of 49 CFR part 386, and found 
no SEIOSNOSE. 49 CFR part 386 is a permissive set of rules that 
establish procedures and proceedings for respondents, petitioners, and 
others seeking relief from a determination of non-compliance with 
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations or Hazardous Materials 
Regulations. The rule also provides a recourse for commercial

[[Page 71169]]

drivers to report harassment or coercion. Although not required by the 
rule, a small business could elect to incur significant attorney and 
court fees to challenge an unfavorable decision.
    General: There is no need for substantial revision. These 
regulations provide necessary/clear guidance to industry and drivers. 
The regulations are written consistent with plain language guidelines, 
are cost effective, and impose the least economic burden to industry.

Federal Transit Administration

Section 610 and Other Reviews
    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), as amended (sections 
601 through 612 of title 5, United States Code), requires Federal 
regulatory agencies to analyze all proposed and final rules to 
determine their economic impact on small entities, which include small 
businesses, organizations, and governmental jurisdictions. Section 610 
requires government agencies to periodically review all regulations 
that will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities (SEISNOSE).
    In complying with this section, the Federal Transit Administration 
(FTA) has elected to use the two-step, two-year process used by most 
Department of Transportation (DOT) modes. As such, FTA has divided its 
rules into 10 groups as displayed in the table below. During the 
analysis year, the listed rules will be analyzed to identify those with 
a SEISNOSE. During the review year, each rule identified in the 
analysis year as having a SEISNOSE will be reviewed in accordance with 
Section 610(b) to determine if it should be continued without change or 
changed to minimize the impact on small entities.

Year 1 (2018) List of Rules Analyzed and Summary of Results
49 CFR part 604--Charter Service

     Section 610: FTA conducted a Section 610 review of 49 CFR 
part 604, and determined that it would not result in a SEISNOSE within 
the meaning of the RFA. The Charter Service rule ensures that transit 
agencies, subsidized with federal funds, do not unfairly compete with 
privately-owned charter bus companies. The rule also provides an 
exception that allows public transportation agencies to provide charter 
service to qualified organizations for the purpose of serving persons 
with mobility limitations related to advanced age, persons with 
disabilities, or persons with low income. As such, the rule is in place 
to protect small entities.
     General: No changes are needed. The regulation implements 
the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 5323(d), FTA estimated the costs and 
projected benefits of the rule and believes it is cost-effective and 
imposes the least burden for statutory compliance. FTA's plain language 
review of this rule indicates no need for substantial revision.
49 CFR part 605--School Bus Operations

     Section 610: FTA conducted a Section 610 review of 49 CFR 
part 605 and determined that it would not result in a SEISNOSE within 
the meaning of the RFA. The School Bus Operations regulation ensures 
that transit agencies, subsidized with federal funds, do not engage in 
operations exclusively for the transportation of students and school 
personnel. This type of exclusive service is not public transportation 
and would unfairly compete with private school bus operators. As such, 
the rule is in place to protect small entities.
     General: No changes are needed. The regulation implements 
the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 5323(f). FTA estimated the costs and 
projected benefits of the rule and believes it is cost-effective and 
imposes the least burden for statutory compliance. FTA's plain language 
review of this rule indicates no need for substantial revision.
49 CFR part 624--Clean Fuels Grant Program
     Section 610: FTA conducted a Section 610 review of 49 CFR 
part 624 and determined that it would not result in a SEISNOSE within 
the meaning of the RFA. However, the Clean Fuels Grant Program was 
repealed by Section 20002 of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st 
Century (MAP-21) Act (Pub. L. 112-141), and therefore, part 624 
implements a program no longer authorized by law.
     General: FTA will rescind 49 CFR part 624, because the 
requirements set forth in the rule were rendered obsolete by statute.

Year 1 (Fall 2019) List of Rules Analyzed and a Summary of Results
49 CFR part 178--Specifications for Packaging Section 610: PHMSA 
conducted a review of this part and found no SEISNOSE.
     General: PHMSA has reviewed this part and found that while 
the part does not have a SEISNOSE, it could be streamlined to reflect 
new technologies and harmonize with certain international references. 
Therefore, even though the review indicated that the economic impact on 
small entities is not significant, PHMSA has initiated multiple new 
deregulatory rulemakings to reduce the compliance burdens of part 178. 
Further, PHMSA's plain language review of this part indicates no need 
for substantial revision. Where confusing or wordy language has been 
identified, PHMSA plans to propose or finalize revisions in the 
upcoming biennial international harmonization rulemaking or other 
deregulatory rulemakings.
    For example, the Harmonization of International Standards, 2137-
AF32, rulemaking action is part of PHMSA's ongoing biennial process to 
harmonize the HMR with international regulations and standards. Federal 
law and policy strongly favor the harmonization of domestic and 
international standards for hazardous materials transportation. The 
Federal hazardous materials transportation law (Federal hazmat law; 49 
U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) directs PHMSA to participate in relevant 
international standard-setting bodies and promotes consistency of the 
HMR with international transport standards to the extent practicable. 
Federal hazmat law permits PHMSA to depart from international standards 
where appropriate, including to promote safety or other overriding 
public interests.

[[Page 71172]]

However, Federal hazmat law otherwise encourages domestic and 
international harmonization (see 49 U.S.C. 5120).
    Harmonization facilitates international trade by minimizing the 
costs and other burdens of complying with multiple or inconsistent 
safety requirements for transportation of hazardous materials. Safety 
is enhanced by creating a uniform framework for compliance, and as the 
volume of hazardous materials transported in international commerce 
continues to grow, harmonization becomes increasingly important.
    The impact that the 2137-AF32 rulemaking will have on small 
entities is not expected to be significant. The rulemaking will clarify 
provisions based on PHMSA's initiatives and correspondence with the 
regulated community and domestic and international stakeholders. The 
changes are generally intended to provide relief and, as a result, 
positive economic benefits to shippers, carriers, and packaging 
manufacturers and testers, including small entities.
    In conclusion, many companies will realize economic benefits, 
because of the amendments in the 2137-AF32 rulemaking. The amendments 
are expected to result in an overall net cost savings and ease the 
regulatory compliance burden for shippers engaged in domestic and 
international commerce, including trans-border shipments within North 
America. Additionally, the effective changes of this rulemaking will 
relieve U.S. companies, including small entities competing in foreign 
markets, from the burden of complying with a dual system of 
regulations. This rulemaking is one example of PHMSA's review of 
rulemakings which ensures that our rules do not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

Proposed Rule Stage

303. +Defining Unfair or Deceptive Practices

    E.O. 13771 Designation: Deregulatory.
    Legal Authority: 49 U.S.C. 41712
    Abstract: This rulemaking would define the phrase ``unfair or 
deceptive practice'' found in the Department's aviation consumer 
protection statute. The Department's statute is modeled after a similar 
statute granting the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) the authority to 
regulate unfair or deceptive practices. Using the FTC's policy 
statements as a guide, the Department has found a practice to be unfair 
if it causes or is likely to cause substantial harm, the harm cannot 
reasonably be avoided, and the harm is not outweighed by any 
countervailing benefits to consumers or to competition. Likewise, the 
Department has found a practice to be deceptive if it misleads or is 
likely to mislead a consumer acting reasonably under the circumstances 
with respect to a material issue (one that is likely to affect the 
consumer's decision with regard to a product or service). This 
rulemaking would codify the Department's existing interpretation of 
``unfair or deceptive practice,'' and seek comment on whether any 
changes are needed. The rulemaking is not expected to impose monetary 
costs on regulated entities, and will benefit regulated entities by 
providing a clearer understanding of the Department's interpretation of 
the statute.

    Abstract: This rulemaking would require airlines to take steps to 
improve the accessibility of lavatories on single-aisle aircraft short 
of increasing the size of the lavatories. The rulemaking would ensure 
the accessibility of features within an aircraft lavatory, including 
but not limited to toilet seat, assist handles, faucets, flush control, 
attendant call buttons, lavatory controls and dispensers, lavatory door 
sill, and door locks. The rulemaking would also consider standards for 
the on-board wheelchair to improve its safety/maneuverability and

supplemental all-cargo operation would be subject to the same flight, 
duty, and rest rules as the all-cargo operation it follows. This rule 
is necessary as it would make part 121 flight, duty, and rest limits

    Abstract: This rulemaking would implement a Pilot Records Database 
as required by Public Law 111-216 (August 1, 2010). Section 203 amends 
the Pilot Records Improvement Act by requiring the FAA to create a 
pilot records database that contains various types of pilot records. 
These records would be provided by the FAA, air carriers, and other 
persons who employ pilots. The FAA must maintain these records until it 
receives notice that a pilot is deceased. Air carriers would use this 
database to perform a record check on a pilot prior to making a hiring 
decision.

    Abstract: The Commercial Driver's License Drug and Alcohol 
Clearinghouse (Clearinghouse) final rule (81 FR 87686 (Dec. 5, 2016), 
requires State Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) to check the 
Clearinghouse before issuing, renewing, transferring, or upgrading a 
Commercial Driver's License (CDL) to determine whether the driver is 
qualified to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). Drivers who 
commit drug or alcohol testing violations are prohibited from operating 
a CMV until complying with return-to-duty requirements. FMCSA plans to 
propose requirements on SDLAs to take specific actions for individuals' 
subject to the CMV driving prohibition. FMCSA also looks to propose 
alternate additional actions SDLAs may be required to take after 
receiving notice that a driver licensed in their State is subject to 
the driving ban. The NPRM would also revise how reports of actual 
knowledge violations, based on a citation for Driving Under the 
Influence (DUI) in a CMV, would be maintained in the Clearinghouse. 
These proposed changes would improve highway safety by increasing 
compliance with existing drug and alcohol program requirements.

49 U.S.C. 521(b)(5)(A)
    Abstract: This rule would implement a safety monitoring system and 
compliance initiative designed to evaluate the continuing safety 
fitness of all Mexico-domiciled carriers within 18 months after 
receiving a provisional Certificate of Registration or provisional 
authority to operate in the United States. It also would establish 
suspension and revocation procedures for provisional Certificates of 
Registration and operating authority, and incorporate criteria to be 
used by FMCSA in evaluating whether Mexico-domiciled carriers exercise 
basic safety management controls. The interim rule included 
requirements that were not proposed in the NPRM, but which are 
necessary to comply with the FY-2002 DOT Appropriations Act. On January 
16, 2003, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals remanded this rule, along 
with two other NAFTA-related rules, to the Agency, requiring a full 
environmental impact statement and an analysis required by the Clean 
Air Act. On June 7, 2004, the Supreme Court reversed the Ninth Circuit 
and remanded the case, holding that FMCSA is not required to prepare 
the environmental documents. FMCSA originally planned to publish a 
final rule by November 28, 2003.

Proposed Rule Stage

322. +Pipeline Safety: Amendments to Parts 192 and 195 To Require Valve 
Installation and Minimum Rupture Detection Standards

    E.O. 13771 Designation: Regulatory.
    Legal Authority: 49 U.S.C. 60101 et seq.
    Abstract: PHMSA is proposing to revise the Pipeline Safety 
Regulations applicable to newly constructed or entirely replaced 
natural gas transmission and hazardous liquid pipelines to improve 
rupture mitigation and shorten pipeline segment isolation times in high 
consequence and select non-high consequence areas. The proposed rule 
defines certain pipeline events as ``ruptures'' and outlines certain 
performance standards related to rupture identification and pipeline 
segment isolation. PHMSA also proposes specific valve maintenance and 
inspection requirements, and 9-1-1 notification requirements to help 
operators achieve better rupture response and mitigation. The rule 
addresses Congressional mandates, incorporates recommendations from the 
National Transportation Safety Board, and is necessary to reduce the 
serious consequences of large-volume, uncontrolled releases of natural 
gas and hazardous liquids.
