Air Plan Approval; New Hampshire; Approval of Single Source Order, 8520-8521 [2020-02226]

Download as PDF 8520 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 31 / Friday, February 14, 2020 / Proposed Rules D. On Board Accessibility 1. Mobility Aid Seating Location Size The Access Board’s existing guidelines require clear floor space for mobility aid seating locations of 48 inches by 30 inches. See 36 CFR 1192.83(a)(1), 1192.57(b), 1192.125(d)(2) & 1192.95(d)(2). In the RVAAC Report, the Committee recommended increasing required clear floor space to 54 inches by 32 inches where the space is confined on no more than two sides, and 59 inches by 32 inches where the space is confined on three sides. RVAAC Report, Chap 4, § IV.A. See also Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access, Anthropometry of Wheeled Mobility Project—Final Report (Dec. 2010), available at https:// www.udeworld.com/documents/ anthropometry/pdfs/Anthropometryof WheeledMobilityProject_Final Report.pdf. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority of the State of New York raised concerns in a RVAAC Minority Report about the loss of additional seats with the increased floor space. RVAAC Report, Appendix C (MTA–SNY Minority Report, p. 68). Question 18: What would be the effect on the design and operation of rail cars if the required size of mobility aid seating locations were increased from 48 inches by 30 inches to a requirement of (1) 54 inches by 32 inches where the space is confined on no more than two sides and (2) 59 inches by 32 inches where the space is confined on three sides? khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS 2. Vertical Access There is no requirement in the existing guidelines to provide vertical access on rail cars. In the RVAAC report, the committee recommended adding a requirement for vertical access in new intercity bi-level lounge cars. The Committee explained that a lounge ‘‘means any car with a primary function that is to enhance the passenger experience beyond the purchased coach or sleeper accommodation and is so designed to enhance viewing from the second level.’’ Such lounge cars include open platform observation areas that are accessible to passengers, whether or not an extra fare is charged, and single level cars (known as ‘‘dome cars) that offer an elevated area designed for viewing scenery. The Committee explained that the goal is to expand the full rail travel experience for passengers who might otherwise miss out on key features of the travel. This would include providing a lift, an accessible restroom (if an upper level restroom is provided), and accessible wheelchair spaces on the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:35 Feb 13, 2020 Jkt 250001 upper level. RVAAC Report, Chap 4, § IX. Question 19: Should vertical access be required on new intercity bi-level lounge cars? If so, should such a requirement apply only to certain types of intercity bi-level cars (such as those that provide a viewing dome on the upper level)? Question 20: Is it technically feasible for platform lifts to serve the upper levels of bi-level rail cars? Question 21: What are the likely costs, including both one-time equipment installation costs and ongoing maintenance, if vertical access was required on intercity bi-level rail cars? 3. Handrails and Stanchions for Onboard Circulation The Access Board’s existing guidelines require that handrails and stanchions not encroach on the accessible routes and permit safe boarding, onboard circulation, seating and standing assistance, and alighting by persons with disabilities. 36 CFR 1192.57, 1192.77, 1192.97 & 1192.115. The RVAAC recommended retaining the existing requirement for the diameter of the interior handrails and stanchions with additional specifications that (a) handrails or handholds be included on transverse passenger seats in all rail cars, and (b) in light and rapid rail systems, vertical stanchions be provided adjacent to, or as part of, seats on alternate rows and sides of the aisle. RVAAC Report, Chap. 4, § VI.B. The current regulation does not address the visibility of handholds, handrails, and stanchions. The Access Board is interested in obtaining public comment on any potential need for visual contrast for handholds, handrails, or stanchions. Question 22: Are additional types of handholds, handrails, or stanchions needed on rapid, light rail, intercity or commuter rail vehicles beyond those currently required? If so, please describe. Question 23: Are handholds, handrails, or stanchions for rail vehicles currently designed with visual contrast? Question 24: Is there a need for visual contrast on handholds, handrails, or stanchions? If so, please explain. E. Dining Cars Regarding accessible seating in dining cars, the RVAAC proposed to increase the required wheelchair spaces and transfer seating at tables from one to two spaces. The Committee also noted that this requirement could be met with convertible spaces. RVAAC Report, Chap. 5, § II.A. In response to this suggested requirement, Amtrak, in a minority report, indicated that when PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 they attempted to use convertible spaces during the development of their new dining cars, the convertible spaces were criticized as ‘‘making a spectacle’’ of the arrival of someone using a wheelchair. RVAAC Report, Appendix C (Amtrak Minority Report, p. 54). Question 25: What would be the advantages and disadvantages of having convertible/readily removable seating in dining cars on rail vehicles to accommodate passengers using wheelchairs. David M. Capozzi, Executive Director.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. AGENCY: HHS proposes to revise the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Coal Workers’ Health Surveillance Program (Program) regulations by adding a provision to allow NIOSH to suspend or revoke B Reader certification. Certification may be revoked for any B Reader found by NIOSH to have engaged in a pattern of providing unreasonably inaccurate chest radiograph classifications in practice— those that are found by the Program to diverge substantially from a competent interpretation of the radiographs, as determined by a panel of practicing, certified B Readers selected by NIOSH. In addition to the B Reader provisions, HHS would also amend existing regulatory text to allow compensation for pathologists who perform autopsies on coal miners at a market rate, on a discretionary basis as needed for public health purposes.

Statutory Authority The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Pub. L. 91–173, 30 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) (Mine Act), authorizes the HHS Secretary (Secretary) to work with coal mine operators to make available to coal miners the opportunity to have regular and routine chest radiographs (X-rays) in order to detect coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (i.e., black lung) and prevent its progression in individual miners. The Mine Act grants the Secretary general authority to issue regulations as is deemed appropriate to carry out provisions of the Act and specifically directs that medical examination of coal miners shall be given in accordance with specifications prescribed by the Secretary (30 U.S.C. 843(a), 957). The Mine Act also authorizes the Secretary to establish specifications for the reading of radiographs and to pay for autopsies submitted to the Program. III. Background and Need for Rulemaking All mining work generates fine particles of dust in the air. Coal miners who inhale excessive dust are known to develop a group of diseases of the lungs and airways, including dust-induced fibrotic lung disease (pneumoconiosis) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
