Any 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 PO 00000 Frm 00142 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section by Friday, April 17, 2020. Oral comments from the public will be heard throughout the meeting at the discretion of the MRB Chairman. To accommodate as many speakers as possible, the time for each commenter may be limited. Speakers are requested to submit a written copy of their remarks for inclusion in the meeting records and for circulation to the MRB members. All prepared remarks submitted on time will be accepted and considered as part of the record. Any member of the public may present a written statement to the committee at any time.

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. E:\FR\FM\17MRN1.SGM 17MRN1
