Micromobility Product Descriptions E:\FR\FM\20JYN1.SGM 20JYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 139 / Monday, July 20, 2020 / Notices ‘‘Micromobility products’’ 1 (escooters, e-bicycles, and hoverboards, each discussed in turn) are an emerging mode of personal transportation. Micromobility products can occupy space alongside bicycles on dedicated bike lanes or paths, but they are not intended for sidewalks with pedestrians or for vehicle-occupied roads with cars and trucks.2 Micromobility products now use electric motors as a propulsion system because of advancements in rechargeable battery technology. These products are popular with consumers because they are convenient for shortdistance travel. An electric standing scooter (escooter) has the following characteristics: • Foot platform for the operator (and passenger) to stand on, • center column with a handlebar for steering, • speed controlled by the operator using the accelerator/throttle and brakes, • powered partially or fully by a motor, • manufactured primarily for transportation of not more than one person (except for specifically designed vehicles), and • composed of two or three wheels held in a frame in the longitudinal direction of travel. CPSC’s regulation at 16 CFR 1512.2(a)(2) defines ‘‘bicycle’’ as a ‘‘twoor three- wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden by an operator who weighs 170 pounds, is less than 20 mph.’’ Staff refers to this product as an ‘‘electric bicycle,’’ an ‘‘e-bicycle,’’ or ‘‘ebike.’’ E-bicycles can be equipped with an electric motor that provides assistance while pedaling, or full propulsion. Hoverboards have the following characteristics: • Foot platforms or footpegs for the operator to stand on, • may have self-balancing mechanism (not statically stable), • controlled by the operator via controls on a center column and/or the 1 Taxonomy and Classification of Powered Micromobility Vehicles.

B. Micromobility Product Use Consumers purchase micromobility products for personal transportation, as well as rent and use them through rideshare applications. For example, escooters and e-bicycles are increasingly used in ride-sharing programs in cities across the United States, where each product can be used by many different riders, multiple times a day. Some ridesharing systems offer rental transportation products that have docking stations for drop-off and pickup, while other systems use smartphone applications to provide a dockless option.3 C. Relevant Voluntary Standards ASTM has two voluntary standards related to powered scooters and skateboards for children: ASTM F2641– 08(2015), Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Recreational Powered Scooters and Pocket Bikes and ASTM F2642–08(2015), Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Safety Instructions and Labeling for Recreational Powered Scooters and Pocket Bikes.

Abstract: This study will provide much needed evidence on strategies to support U.S. students’ development of foundational reading skills, essential to later learning. ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 A third of U.S. students fail to develop foundational reading skills by 4th grade that are necessary to succeed academically. In addition, the achievement gap is growing as demonstrated by The Nation’s Report Card. To address, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) promotes the use of evidence-based literacy interventions. And, the Department of Education (ED) has made supporting educators with the knowledge, skills, professional development, or materials necessary to improve reading instruction a key priority. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) similarly encourages high quality instruction along with better identification of students needing extra support to prevent or mitigate student reading issues. This study will provide much needed evidence by evaluating two professional development strategies for bolstering core reading instruction and supplemental supports, guided by data, within a MTSS–R framework. MTSS–R is a widely used framework for providing high-quality reading instruction for all students, identifying students needing supplemental or more intensive supports, and providing these additional supports for those who need it.
