flight time as a navigator be logged in

committee-related request should be
sent to the person listed in this section.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The MRB was created under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) in accordance with section 4116
of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A
Legacy for Users, SAFETEA–LU, Public
Law 109–59 (2005) (codified as
amended at 49 U.S.C. 31149) to
establish, review, and revise ‘‘medical
standards for operators of commercial
motor vehicles that will ensure that the
physical condition of operators of
commercial motor vehicles is adequate
to enable them to operate the vehicles
safely.’’ The MRB operates in
accordance with FACA under the terms
of the MRB charter, filed November 25,
2019.
II. Agenda
At the meeting, the agenda will cover
the following topics:
• Monday, April 27 (Closed Session):
Review test questions used to determine
eligibility of healthcare professionals for
inclusion in the National Registry of
Certified Medical Examiners (CMEs).
• Tuesday, April 28 (Public Session):
1. Finalize recommendations from the
MRB’s June 2019 meeting on updates to
the Medical Examiner’s Handbook;
2. Consider changes to the seizure
standard for CMV drivers.
III. Public Participation
The first day of the meeting will be
closed to the public due to the
discussion of specific test questions,
which are not available for release to the
public. Premature disclosure of secure
test information would compromise the
integrity of the examination and
therefore exemption 9(B) of section
552b(c) of Title 5 of the United States
Code justifies closing this portion of the
meeting pursuant to 41 CFR 102–
3.155(a). The second day of the meeting
will be open to the public on a firstcome, first served basis as space is
limited. There is no need for advance
registration.
The U.S. Department of
Transportation is committed to
providing equal access to this meeting
for all participants. If you need
alternative formats or services due to a
disability, such as sign language
interpretation or other ancillary aids,
please contact the person listed in the

section by Friday, April 17, 2020.

discretion of the MRB Chairman. To
accommodate as many speakers as
possible, the time for each commenter

remarks for inclusion in the meeting
records and for circulation to the MRB
members. All prepared remarks
submitted on time will be accepted and

BILLING CODE 4910–EX–P
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2009–0072]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on February 25, 2020, the TriCounty Metropolitan Transportation
District of Oregon (TriMet) petitioned
the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) to renew a waiver of compliance
from certain provisions of the Federal
railroad safety regulations contained at
49 CFR part 222, Use of Locomotive
Horns at Public Highway-Rail Grade
Crossings. FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2009–0072.
TriMet seeks to renew its waiver to
not be required to routinely sound its
locomotive horn when approaching
three public highway-rail grade
crossings on the Lombard segment of
TriMet’s Westside Express Service
(WES), and to be permitted to use a 60
dB(A) locomotive bell in lieu of the
locomotive horn at these three
crossings. Specifically, TriMet seeks a
waiver from the provisions of 49 CFR
222.21(a) and 222.21(b)(2), which
require locomotive horns to be sounded
when approaching public highway-rail
grade crossings, using the ‘‘long-longshort-long’’ pattern that begins 15 to 20
seconds before the locomotive reaches
the crossing, but no further than 1⁄4 mile
from the crossing.
TriMet states that, at these three
crossings, their use of a 60 dB(A) bell
provides a level of safety equivalent to
that of the required locomotive horn.
