Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 26, 2021 / Notices
The FAA acknowledges that many of
the terms that the DAC proposed to
incorporate are not new words, nor are
they new to aviation. The DAC’s
recommendations, in addition to other
similar concurrent initiatives, have
sparked a wider conversation across the
Agency about formally embracing more
inclusive language, including
terminology that is gender-neutral.
Replacing gender-based terms with new
inclusive terminology is expected to
create a more inclusive and accepting
environment within the FAA and the
aerospace industry as a whole.
However, the FAA recognizes the
importance of gathering public input on
the proposed DAC terminology, as well
as alternative terminology, that FAA
should consider adopting in furtherance
of its goal to ensure equality, which can
only be accomplished through the
elimination of bias and discrimination
on the basis of sex, including the
person’s sexual orientation, gender
identity, or pregnancy. The FAA notes
that implementation of policies and
plans related to the adoption of
inclusive terminology may necessitate
changes in legislation, as well as rules
and regulations. However, the FAA is
committed to ensuring FAA is both a
workplace and a regulatory agency free
of bias and discrimination in all
practices.
II. Public Participation
The Inclusive Language Summit is
open to the public. Members of the
public will have an opportunity to
provide feedback or additional
recommendations to the Agency’s
proposal to adopt language that is more
inclusive.
Members of the public are also
welcome to submit written
recommendations. Please send written
documents to the email address in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
In the spirit of bringing all voices to
the conversation, the FAA seeks
participation from all members of the
public; stakeholders in public agencies;
academia; not-for profit institutions;
individuals working in the area of DEIA;
and the aviation community. Input from
a diverse audience will assist the FAA
in developing policies and procedures
that are inclusive in nature and
strengthen the FAA’s goal of becoming
an employer of choice and the Agency’s
mission to be a global aerospace leader.
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 because
of a disability, such as sign language,

interpretation, or other ancillary aids,

Members of the public may submit
comments and questions for the FAA’s
consideration to the email address listed
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section. On the day of the
event participants will be given the
opportunity to ask questions in near real
time through a link provided on the
FAA’s social media pages located in
ADDRESSES section.

B. Privacy Act
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c),
DOT solicits comments from the public
to better inform its regulatory process.
DOT posts these comments, without
edit, including any personal information
the commenter provides, to
www.regulations.gov, as described in
the system of records notice (DOT/ALL–
14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.transportation.gov/privacy.
II. Background
On August 26, 2021, FMCSA
published a notice announcing its
decision to renew exemptions for 102
individuals from the vision requirement
in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) to operate a
CMV in interstate commerce and
requested comments from the public (86
FR 47710). The public comment period
ended on September 27, 2021, and no
comments were received.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility
of these applicants and determined that
renewing these exemptions would
achieve a level of safety equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by complying with the current
regulation § 391.41(b)(10).
The physical qualification standard
for drivers regarding vision found in
§ 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is
physically qualified to drive a CMV if
that person has distant visual acuity of
at least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye
without corrective lenses or visual
acuity separately corrected to 20/40
(Snellen) or better with corrective
lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least
20/40 (Snellen) in both eyes with or
without corrective lenses, field of vision
of at least 70° in the horizontal meridian
in each eye, and the ability to recognize
the colors of traffic signals and devices
showing red, green, and amber.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Transit Administration
Prevention of Alcohol Misuse and
Prohibited Drug Use in Transit
Operations
Federal Transit Administration
(FTA), Department of Transportation
(DOT).
ACTION: Notice of calendar year 2022
random drug and alcohol testing rates.
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
calendar year 2022 drug and alcohol
random testing rates for transit agency
employers. The minimum random drug
testing rate will remain at 50 percent,
and the random alcohol testing rate will
remain at 10 percent.
DATES: Applicable Date: January 1,
2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Iyon
Rosario, Drug and Alcohol Program
Manager in the Office of Transit Safety
and Oversight, 1200 New Jersey Avenue
SE, Washington, DC 20590 (telephone:
202–366–2010 or email: Iyon.Rosario@
dot.gov).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 1, 1995, FTA required large
transit employers to begin drug and
alcohol testing of employees performing
safety-sensitive functions, and to submit
annual reports by March 15 of each year
beginning in 1996, pursuant to drug and
alcohol regulations adopted by FTA at
49 CFR parts 653 and 654 in February
1994. The annual report includes the
number of employees who had a
verified positive test for the use of
prohibited drugs, and the number of
employees who tested positive for the
misuse of alcohol during the reported
year. Small employers commenced the
required testing on January 1, 1996, and
began reporting the same information as
the large employers beginning March
15, 1997.
FTA updated the testing rules by
merging them into a new 49 CFR part
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
22:39 Oct 25, 2021
Jkt 256001
655, effective August 1, 2001 (66 FR
42002). The regulation maintains a
random testing rate for prohibited drugs
at 50 percent and the misuse of alcohol
at 10 percent, which the Administrator
may lower if the violation rates drop
below 1.0 percent for drug testing and
0.5 percent for alcohol testing for two
consecutive years. Accordingly, in 2007,
FTA reduced the random drug testing
rate from 50 percent to 25 percent (72
FR 1057, January 7, 2007). In 2018,
however, FTA returned the random
drug testing rate to 50 percent for
calendar year 2019 based on verified
industry data for calendar year 2017,
which showed that the rate had
exceeded 1 percent (83 FR 63812,
December 12, 2018).
Pursuant to 49 CFR 655.45, the
Administrator’s decision to increase or
decrease the minimum annual
percentage rate for random drug and
alcohol testing is based, in part, on the
reported positive drug and alcohol
violation rates for the entire public
transportation industry. The
information used for this determination
is drawn from the drug and alcohol
Management Information System (MIS)
reports required by 49 CFR 655.72. To
ensure the reliability of the data, the
Administrator must consider the quality
and completeness of the reported data,
may obtain additional information or
reports from employers, and may make
appropriate modifications in calculating
the industry’s verified positive results
and violation rates.
For calendar year 2022, the
Administrator has determined that the
random drug testing rate for covered
employees will remain at 50 percent
based on a verified positive rate of 1.08
percent for calendar year 2020. Further,
the Administrator has determined that
the random alcohol testing rate for
calendar year 2022 will remain at 10
percent, because the violation rate again
was lower than 0.5 percent for calendar
years 2019 and 2020. The random
alcohol violation rates were 0.16 percent
for 2019 and 0.17 for 2020.
Detailed reports on FTA’s drug and
alcohol testing data collected from
transit employers may be obtained from
FTA, Office of Transit Safety and
Oversight, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE,
Washington, DC 20590, (202) 366–2010,

B. Privacy Act
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its regulatory process. DOT posts these
comments, without edit, including any personal information the
commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system
of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.transportation.gov/privacy.
II. Background
On August 26, 2021, FMCSA published a notice announcing its
decision to renew exemptions for 102 individuals from the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) to operate a CMV in interstate
commerce and requested comments from the public (86 FR 47710). The
public comment period ended on September 27, 2021, and no comments were
received.
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and
determined that renewing these exemptions would achieve a level of
safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved
by complying with the current regulation Sec. 391.41(b)(10).
The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding vision
found in Sec. 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has distant visual acuity of at
least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye without corrective lenses or visual
acuity separately corrected to 20/40 (Snellen) or better with
corrective lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least 20/40 (Snellen)
in both eyes with or without corrective lenses, field of vision of at
least 70[deg] in the horizontal meridian in each eye, and the ability
to recognize the colors of traffic signals and devices showing red,
green, and amber.
III. Discussion of Comments
FMCSA received no comments in this proceeding.
IV. Conclusion
Based on its evaluation of the 102 renewal exemption applications
and comments received, FMCSA confirms its decision to exempt the
following drivers from the vision requirement in Sec. 391.41(b)(10).
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), the following
groups of drivers received renewed exemptions in the month of October
and are discussed below.
As of October 3, 2021, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315(b), the following 85 individuals have satisfied the renewal
