Department of Transportation June 7, 2023 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), proposes to establish a new system of records titled, ``DOT/FAA 856 Airmen Medical Records.'' 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 61.23 Medical Certificates: Requirement and Duration specify operations requiring medical certificates. Collectively, for the purposes of this system of records notice, individuals required to obtain medical certificates are referred to as applicants. This Notice covers records maintained for the required airmen medical certification process which is initiated by the airman medical certificate application. In addition to the initial medical records obtained at time of certification, FAA also maintains information on post-certification medical changes including failed drug and substance abuse testing results that could disqualify certificated airmen. Finally, this system of records supports regulatory enforcement activities and other legal actions, such as denial of medical certifications, so records including, but not limited to, pre- decisional notes in airmen medical files, are exempted from certain access and disclosure requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974.

This action amends Very High Frequency (VHF) Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways V-3, V-157, and V-579; and removes VOR Federal airway V-578 in support of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program.

This action proposes to establish United States Area Navigation (RNAV) routes T-440, T-455, T-457, T-459, and T-476, and amend RNAV routes T-358, T-416, and T-445 in support of the FAA's Very High Frequency (VHF) Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. The purpose is to enhance the efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS) by transitioning from ground-based navigation aids to a satellite-based navigation system.

NHTSA invites public comments about our intention to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new information collection. Before a federal agency can collect certain information from the public, it must receive approval from OMB. Under procedures established by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, before seeking OMB approval, federal agencies must solicit public comment on proposed collections of information, including extensions and reinstatement of previously approved collections. This document describes a collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval on a segmentation study related to alcohol-impaired driving and riding (motorcycles). This study's objective is to better understand alcohol-consumption behaviors and how they relate to potential alcohol-impaired driving/riding. The results of this study will help NHTSA inform its consumer messages to reduce fatalities and injuries on US roadways.
