Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision
FMCSA announces its decision to renew the exemptions from the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for 10 individuals. FMCSA has statutory authority to exempt individuals from the vision requirement if the exemptions granted will not compromise safety. The Agency has concluded that granting these exemption renewals will provide a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety maintained without the exemptions for these commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.
Pipeline Safety: Request for Special Permit and Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment
PHMSA is providing an additional public comment period regarding a special permit request from Texas Eastern Transmission, L.P., for relief from 49 CFR 192.112 and 192.620. PHMSA had previously provided notice of its intent to consider the special permit request and an opportunity for public comment on April 23, 2009 (74 FR 4296). PHMSA is also providing notice of the availability of a Draft Environmental Assessment prepared in relation to this request for a special permit. Also, since the April 23, 2009 Federal Register notice, Texas Eastern Transmission, L.P., has modified its special permit request to reduce the length of its pipeline that would be subject to the request. The request and all pertinent information are available at https://www.Regulations.gov in Docket No. PHMSA-2008-0257. We invite the public and all concerned to review these documents and provide comments.
Pilot, Flight Instructor, and Pilot School Certification
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is making minor technical changes to a final rule published in the Federal Register on August 21, 2009. That final rule revised the training, qualification, certification, and operating requirements for pilots, flight instructors, ground instructors, and pilot schools. Through this technical amendment, we are clarifying the intent of Sec. 141.5(d) and reinserting language that was inadvertently removed pertaining to special courses of training under appendix K of part 141.
Pipeline Safety: Control Room Management/Human Factors
PHMSA published the Control Room Management/Human Factors final rule in the Federal Register on December 3, 2009, which became effective on February 1, 2010. The final rule established an 18-month program development deadline of August 1, 2011, and a subsequent 18- month program implementation deadline of February 1, 2013. This proposed rule proposes to expedite the program implementation deadline to August 1, 2011, for most of the requirements, except for certain provisions regarding adequate information and alarm management, which would have a program implementation deadline of August 1, 2012.
