The drivers were included in docket
number FMCSA–2014–0213. Their
exemptions are applicable as of
September 16, 2020, and will expire on
September 16, 2022.
V. Conditions and Requirements
The exemptions are extended subject
to the following conditions: (1) Each
driver must remain seizure-free and
maintain a stable treatment during the
2-year exemption period; (2) each driver
must submit annual reports from their
treating physicians attesting to the
stability of treatment and that the driver
has remained seizure-free; (3) each
driver must undergo an annual medical
examination by a certified ME, as
defined by § 390.5; and (4) each driver
must provide a copy of the annual
medical certification to the employer for
retention in the driver’s qualification
file, or keep a copy of his/her driver’s
qualification file if he/she is selfemployed. The driver must also have a
copy of the exemption when driving, for
presentation to a duly authorized
Federal, State, or local enforcement
official. The exemption will be
rescinded if: (1) The person fails to
comply with the terms and conditions
of the exemption; (2) the exemption has
resulted in a lower level of safety than
was maintained before it was granted; or
(3) continuation of the exemption would
not be consistent with the goals and
objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315(b).
VI. Preemption
During the period the exemption is in
effect, no State shall enforce any law or
regulation that conflicts with this
exemption with respect to a person
operating under the exemption.
VII. Conclusion
Based on its evaluation of the seven
exemption applications, FMCSA renews
the exemptions of the aforementioned
drivers from the epilepsy and seizure
disorders prohibition in § 391.41(b)(8).
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315(b), each exemption will be
valid for 2 years unless revoked earlier
by FMCSA.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2020–0072]
Notice of Application for Approval of
Discontinuance or Modification of a
Railroad Signal System
Under part 235 of title 49 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) and 49
U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides
the public notice that on September 4,
2020, Union Pacific Railroad Company
(UPRR) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) seeking approval
to discontinue or modify a signal
system. FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2020–0072.
Applicant: Union Pacific Railroad
Company, Neal E. Hathaway, A.V.P.—
Signal Maintenance & Construction,
1400 Douglas Street, MS/RM 0910,
Omaha, NE 68179.
Specifically, UPRR seeks to
discontinue the hold signals at control
point (CP) S1272 and CP S1279. It also
seeks to classify a portion of the West
Intermodal Lead (Track 101) as yard
track between Santa Teresa Terminal,
CP S1271 (milepost (MP) 1271.25) and
hold signal CP S1272 (MP 1273.28), as
well as a portion of the East Intermodal
Lead (Track 202), between hold signal
CP S1279 (MP 1277.06) and Tarmac CP
S1280 (MP 1278.85) at the Santa Teresa
Fueling Facility, Lordsburg Subdivision
located in Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
UPRR states the reason for the
changes is that operational changes on
each intermodal lead have led to a large
reduction of throughput moves on
signal indication, both inbound and
outbound.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested parties desire
an opportunity for oral comment and a
public hearing, they should notify FRA,
in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis

Proposed Agency Information
Collection Activities; Comment
Request
Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), U.S. Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of information collection;
request for comment.
AGENCY:
Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA seeks
approval of the Information Collection
Requests (ICRs) abstracted below. Before
submitting these ICRs to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval, FRA is soliciting public
comment on specific aspects of the
activities identified in the ICRs.
SUMMARY:
E:\FR\FM\16SEN1.SGM
16SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 180 / Wednesday, September 16, 2020 / Notices
Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before
November 16, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments and
recommendations for the proposed ICRs
to Ms. Hodan Wells, Information
Collection Clearance Officer at email:
hodan.wells@dot.gov or telephone: (202)
493–0440. Please refer to the assigned
OMB control number in any
correspondence submitted. FRA will
summarize comments received in
response to this notice in a subsequent
notice and include them in its
information collection submission to
OMB for approval.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA,
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days’ notice to the public to
allow comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB
approval of the activities. See 44 U.S.C.
3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 through
1320.12. Specifically, FRA invites
interested parties to comment on the
following ICRs regarding: (1) Whether
the information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (2)
the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the
burden of the information collection
activities, including the validity of the
DATES:
methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (3) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (4) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
FRA believes that soliciting public
comment may reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information that
Federal regulations mandate. In
summary, FRA reasons that comments
received will advance three objectives:
(1) Reduce reporting burdens; (2)
organize information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user-friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (3) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
The summaries below describe the
ICRs that FRA will submit for OMB
clearance as the PRA requires:
Title: Identification of Railroad Cars.1
OMB Control Number: 2130–0506.
Abstract: The collection of
information is associated with 49 CFR
232.3(d), formerly contained in
Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC)
57933
Order 13528. Paragraph (d)(3) of 49 CFR
232.3 conditionally excepts certain
export, industrial, and other cars not
owned by a railroad from part 232
compliance. It requires cars to be
identified by a card attached to each
side of the equipment, signed by the
shipper, specifically noting that the car
is being moved under the proper
authority. Railroads typically use carrier
bad order forms or tags for these
purposes. These forms are readily
available from all carrier repair
facilities. If a car moving under 49 CFR
232.3(d)(3) is not properly tagged, a
carrier is not legally allowed to move
the car. Section 232.3(d)(3) does not
require carriers or shippers to retain
cards or tags. When a car bearing tags
for movement under this provision
arrives at its destination, the tags are
removed. FRA estimates approximately
400 cars per year, each bearing two
forms/tags, are moved under this
regulation.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.

Title: U.S. Locational Requirement for
Dispatching U.S. Rail Operations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0556.
Abstract: 49 CFR part 241 requires, in
the absence of a waiver, that all
dispatching of railroad operations
occurring in the United States be
performed in the United States. A
railroad may, however, conduct
dispatching from Mexico or Canada in
an emergency situation, but only for the
duration of the emergency situation. A
railroad relying on this exception must
provide written notification of its action
to FRA as soon as practicable; such
notification is not required before
addressing the emergency situation. The
information collected under this rule is
used as part of FRA’s oversight function
to ensure that extraterritorial
dispatchers comply with applicable
safety regulations.

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA seeks approval of the Information
Collection Requests (ICRs) abstracted below. Before submitting these
ICRs to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval, FRA is
soliciting public comment on specific aspects of the activities
identified in the ICRs.
[[Page 57933]]
DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
November 16, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments and recommendations for the proposed ICRs to
Ms. Hodan Wells, Information Collection Clearance Officer at email:
[email protected] or telephone: (202) 493-0440. Please refer to the
assigned OMB control number in any correspondence submitted. FRA will
summarize comments received in response to this notice in a subsequent
notice and include them in its information collection submission to OMB
for approval.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days' notice to the public to allow comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB approval of the activities.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 through 1320.12. Specifically,
FRA invites interested parties to comment on the following ICRs
regarding: (1) Whether the information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute its functions, including whether
the activities will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FRA's
estimates of the burden of the information collection activities,
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (3) ways for FRA to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information being collected; and (4) ways
for FRA to minimize the burden of information collection activities on
the public, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology. See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5
CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
FRA believes that soliciting public comment may reduce the
administrative and paperwork burdens associated with the collection of
information that Federal regulations mandate. In summary, FRA reasons
that comments received will advance three objectives: (1) Reduce
reporting burdens; (2) organize information collection requirements in
a ``user-friendly'' format to improve the use of such information; and
(3) accurately assess the resources expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 3501.
