Comments in response to the April 2023, notice largely supported the proposed changes. The relevant topics generating the most responses were: (1) proposal for new crash types, particularly the inclusion of requests that have video evidence of the crash; (2) changing the eligibility standard for wrong direction crashes; and (3) the turnaround time for a preventability determination on an eligible crash. In addition, many commenters suggested additional crash types to include as eligible for the program. Two commenters (Josh Curry and Charles E. Guitard) stated their opposition to expanding the program. Josh Curry noted that the ‘‘cost to benefits ratio can’t justify it,’’ and Charles E. Guitard would like the Agency to address existing issues, such as the lack of truck parking. The following sections provide a summary of the comments received and the Agency’s responses. III. List of Eligible Crash Types A. Changes to Existing Crash Types While many commenters favored expanding the eligibility of the program, few specifically addressed the changes to existing crash types that would allow more crashes to be eligible. Five commenters (Werner, NFMTA, NTTC, Steve Davis, Siskiyou Transportation, Inc., and OOIDA) specifically expressed support for the proposed modifications. AIST Safety Consulting supported FMCSA’s proposal to remove the phrase ‘‘The Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) was struck because’’ to address unfair disqualification of CMVs that were the striking vehicle but could not have avoided the collision.’’ They also supported the acceptance of multivehicle crashes as eligible under the existing crash types. The Independent Carrier Safety Association and ATA supported the change to the crash type originally worded ‘‘When the CMV was struck by a driver who admitted to falling asleep or admitted to distracted driving’’ to remove the admission requirement. Barry Poole of Griffith, Indiana, recommended that FMCSA, ‘‘Please strike the term committing or attempting to commit suicide and replace with died by or attempting to die by.’’ FMCSA Response FMCSA will modify the list of existing crash types as proposed in the April 13, 2023, notice. These changes will encompass more scenarios, such as where the CMV was not the striking vehicle and multi-vehicle crashes. E:\FR\FM\04DEN1.SGM 04DEN1
