SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Improvement of our regulations is a prime goal of the Department of
Transportation (Department or DOT). Our regulations should be clear,
simple, timely, fair, reasonable, and necessary. They should not be
issued without appropriate involvement of the public; once issued, they
should be periodically reviewed and revised, as needed, to ensure that
they continue to meet the needs for which they originally were
designed. To view additional information about the Department's
regulatory activities online, go to http://www.dot.gov/regulations.
Among other things, this Web site provides a report updated monthly on
the status of the DOT significant rulemakings listed in the semiannual
regulatory agenda.
    To help the Department achieve its goals and in accordance with
Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' (58
FR 51735; Oct. 4, 1993) and the Department's Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034; Feb. 26, 1979), the Department prepares a
semiannual regulatory agenda. It summarizes all current and projected
rulemakings, reviews of existing regulations, and completed actions of
the Department. These are matters on which action has begun or is
projected during the next 12 months or for which action has been
completed since the last Agenda.
    The Agendas are based on reports submitted by the offices
initiating the rulemaking and are reviewed by OST.
    The Internet is the basic means for disseminating the Unified
Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda is available online at
www.reginfo.gov in a format that offers users a greatly enhanced
ability to obtain information from the Agenda database.
    Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for the
regulatory flexibility agendas required by the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 602), DOT's printed Agenda entries include only:
    1. The agency's Agenda preamble;
    2. Rules that are in the agency's regulatory flexibility agenda, in
accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because they are likely
to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities; and
    3. Any rules that the agency has identified for periodic review
under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain
information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act's Agenda
requirements. These elements are: Sequence Number; Title; Section 610
Review, if applicable; Legal Authority; Abstract; Timetable; Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis Required; Agency Contact; and Regulation
Identifier Number (RIN). Additional information (for detailed list, see
section heading ``Explanation of Information on the Agenda'') on these
entries is available in the Unified Agenda published on the Internet.

Significant Rulemakings

    The Agenda covers all rules and regulations of the Department. We
have classified rules as significant in the Agenda if they are,
essentially, very beneficial, controversial, or of substantial public
interest under our Regulatory Policies and Procedures. All DOT
significant rulemaking documents are subject to review by the Secretary
of Transportation. If the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) decided
a rule is subject to its review under Executive Order 12866, we have
also classified it as significant in the Agenda.

Explanation of Information on the Agenda

    An Office of Management and Budget memorandum, dated February 19,
2016, requires the format for this Agenda.
    First, the Agenda is divided by initiating offices. Then the Agenda
is divided into five categories: (1) Prerule stage, (2) proposed rule
stage, (3) final rule stage, (4) long-term actions, and (5) completed
actions. For each entry, the Agenda provides the following information:
(1) Its ``significance''; (2) a short, descriptive title; (3) its legal
basis; (4) the related regulatory citation in the Code of Federal
Regulations; (5) any legal deadline and, if so, for what action (e.g.,
NPRM, final rule); (6) an abstract; (7) a timetable, including the
earliest expected date for when a rulemaking document may publish; (8)
whether the rulemaking will affect small entities and/or levels of
Government and, if so, which categories; (9) whether a Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA) analysis is required (for rules that would have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities);
(10) a listing of any analyses an office will prepare or has prepared
for the action (with minor exceptions, DOT requires an economic
analysis for all its rulemakings); (11) an agency contact office or
official who can provide further information; (12) a Regulation
Identifier Number (RIN) assigned to identify an individual rulemaking
in the

Agenda and facilitate tracing further action on the issue; (13) whether
the action is subject to the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act; (14) whether
the action is subject to the Energy Act; and (15) whether the action is
major under the congressional review provisions of the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. If there is information that does
not fit in the other categories, it will be included under a separate
heading entitled ``Additional Information.'' One such example of this
is the letters ``SB,'' ``IC,'' and ``SLT.'' These refer to information
used as part of our required reports on Retrospective Review of DOT
rulemakings. A ``Y'' or an ``N,'' for yes and no, respectively, follow
the letters to indicate whether or not a particular rulemaking would
have effects on: Small businesses (SB); information collections (IC);
or State, local, or tribal (SLT) governments.
    For nonsignificant regulations issued routinely and frequently as a
part of an established body of technical requirements (such as the
Federal Aviation Administration's Airspace Rules), to keep those
requirements operationally current, we only include the general
category of the regulations, the identity of a contact office or
official, and an indication of the expected number of regulations; we
do not list individual regulations.
    In the ``Timetable'' column, we use abbreviations to indicate the
particular documents being considered. ANPRM stands for Advance Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking, SNPRM for Supplemental Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, and NPRM for Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Listing a
future date in this column does not mean we have made a decision to
issue a document; it is the earliest date on which a rulemaking
document may publish. In addition, these dates are based on current
schedules. Information received after the issuance of this Agenda could
result in a decision not to take regulatory action or in changes to
proposed publication dates. For example, the need for further
evaluation could result in a later publication date; evidence of a
greater need for the regulation could result in an earlier publication
date.
    Finally, a dot () preceding an entry indicates that the
entry appears in the Agenda for the first time.

Request for Comments

General

    Our agenda is intended primarily for the use of the public. Since
its inception, we have made modifications and refinements that we
believe provide the public with more helpful information, as well as
making the Agenda easier to use. We would like you, the public, to make
suggestions or comments on how the Agenda could be further improved.

Reviews

    We also seek your suggestions on which of our existing regulations
you believe need to be reviewed to determine whether they should be
revised or revoked. We particularly draw your attention to the
Department's review plan in appendix D. In response to Executive Order
13563 ``Retrospective Review and Analysis of Existing Rules,'' in 2011
we prepared a retrospective review plan providing more detail on the
process we use to conduct reviews of existing rules, including changes
in response to Executive Order 13563. Any updates related to our
retrospective plan and review results can be found at http://www.dot.gov/regulations.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Department is especially interested in obtaining information on
requirements that have a ``significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities'' and, therefore, must be reviewed under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act. If you have any suggested regulations,
please submit them to us, along with your explanation of why they
should be reviewed.
    In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, comments are
specifically invited on regulations that we have targeted for review
under section 610 of the Act. The phrase (sec. 610 Review) appears at
the end of the title for these reviews. Please see appendix D for the
Department's section 610 review plans.

Consultation With State, Local, and Tribal Governments

    Executive Orders 13132 and 13175 require us to develop an
accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely input'' by State,
local, and tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies
that have federalism or tribal implications. These policies are defined
in the Executive orders to include regulations that have ``substantial
direct effects'' on States or Indian tribes, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and them, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and various
levels of Government or Indian tribes. Therefore, we encourage State
and local Governments or Indian tribes to provide us with information
about how the Department's rulemakings impact them.

Purpose

    The Department is publishing this regulatory Agenda in the Federal
Register to share with interested members of the public the
Department's preliminary expectations regarding its future regulatory
actions. This should enable the public to be more aware of the
Department's regulatory activity and should result in more effective
public participation. This publication in the Federal Register does not
impose any binding obligation on the Department or any of the offices
within the Department with regard to any specific item on the Agenda.
Regulatory action, in addition to the items listed, is not precluded.

    Dated: March 23, 2016.
 Anthony R. Foxx,
Secretary of Transportation.

Appendix D--Review Plans for Section 610 and Other Requirements

Part I--The Plan

General

    The Department of Transportation has long recognized the importance
of regularly reviewing its existing regulations to determine whether
they need to be revised or revoked. Our Regulatory Policies and
Procedures require such reviews. We also have responsibilities under
Executive Order 12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' and section
610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act to conduct such reviews. This
includes the use of plain language techniques in new rules and
considering its use in existing rules when we have the opportunity and
resources to permit its use. We are committed to continuing our reviews
of existing rules and, if it is needed, will initiate rulemaking
actions based on these reviews.
    In accordance with Executive Order 13563, ``Improving Regulation
and Regulatory Review,'' issued by the President on January 18, 2011,
the Department has added other elements to its review plan. The
Department has decided to improve its plan by adding special oversight
processes within the Department, encouraging effective and timely
reviews, including providing additional guidance on particular problems
that warrant review, and expanding opportunities for public
participation. These new actions are in addition to the other steps
described in this appendix.

Section 610 Review Plan

    Section 610 requires that we conduct reviews of rules that: (1)
Have been published within the last 10 years, and (2) have a
``significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities'' (SEIOSNOSE). It also requires that we publish in the Federal
Register each year a list of any such rules that we will review during
the next year. The Office of the Secretary and each of the Department's
Operating Administrations have a 10-year review plan. These reviews
comply with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Changes to the Review Plan

    Some reviews may be conducted earlier than scheduled. For example,
to the extent resources permit, the plain language reviews will be
conducted more quickly. Other events, such as accidents, may result in
the need to conduct earlier reviews of some rules. Other factors may
also result in the need to make changes; for example, we may make
changes in response to public comment on this plan or in response to a
presidentially mandated review. If there is any change to the review
plan, we will note the change in the following Agenda. For any section
610 review, we will provide the required notice prior to the review.

Part II--The Review Process

The Analysis

    Generally, the agencies have divided their rules into 10 different
groups and plan to analyze one group each year. For purposes of these
reviews, a year will coincide with the fall-to-fall schedule for
publication of the Agenda. Thus, Year 1 (2008) begins in the fall of
2008 and ends in the fall of 2009; Year 2 (2009) begins in the fall of
2009 and ends in the fall of 2010, and so on. We request public comment
on the timing of the reviews. For example, is there a reason for
scheduling an analysis and review for a particular rule earlier than we
have? Any comments concerning the plan or particular analyses should be
submitted to the regulatory contacts listed in appendix B, General
Rulemaking Contact Persons.

Section 610 Review

    The agency will analyze each of the rules in a given year's group
to determine whether any rule has a SEIOSNOSE and, thus, requires
review in accordance with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act. The level of analysis will, of course, depend on the nature of the
rule and its applicability. Publication of agencies' section 610
analyses listed each fall in this Agenda provides the public with
notice and an opportunity to comment consistent with the requirements
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. We request that public comments be
submitted to us early in the analysis year concerning the small entity
impact of the rules to help us in making our determinations.
    In each fall Agenda, the agency will publish the results of the
analyses it has completed during the previous year. For rules that had
a negative finding on SEIOSNOSE, we will give a short explanation
(e.g., ``these rules only establish petition processes that have no
cost impact'' or ``these rules do not apply to any small entities'').
For parts, subparts, or other discrete sections of rules that do have a
SEIOSNOSE, we will announce that we will be conducting a formal section
610 review during the following 12 months. At this stage, we will add
an entry to the Agenda in the prerulemaking section describing the
review in more detail. We also will seek public comment on how best to
lessen the impact of these rules and provide a name or docket to which
public comments can be submitted. In some cases, the section 610 review
may be part of another unrelated review of the rule. In such a case, we
plan to clearly indicate which parts of the review are being conducted
under section 610.

Other Reviews

    The agency will also examine the specified rules to determine
whether any other reasons exist for revising or revoking the rule or
for rewriting the rule in plain language. In each fall Agenda, the
agency will also publish information on the results of the examinations
completed during the previous year.

Part III--List of Pending Section 610 Reviews

    The Agenda identifies the pending DOT section 610 Reviews by
inserting ``(Section 610 Review)'' after the title for the specific
entry. For further information on the pending reviews, see the Agenda
entries at www.reginfo.gov. For example, to obtain a list of all
entries that are in section 610 Reviews under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, a user would select the desired responses on the
search screen (by selecting ``advanced search'') and, in effect,
generate the desired ``index'' of reviews.

Section 610 Review Plan
    The FAA has elected to use the two-step, two-year process used by
most DOT modes in past plans. As such, the FAA has divided its rules
into 10 groups as displayed in the table below. During the first year
(the ``analysis year''), all rules published during the previous 10
years within a 10% block of the regulations will be analyzed to
identify those with a SEIOSNOSE. During the second year (the ``review
year''), each rule identified in the analysis year as having a SEIONOSE
will be reviewed in accordance with Section 610(b) to determine if it
should be continued without change or changed to minimize impact on
small entities. Results of those reviews will be published in the DOT
Semiannual Regulatory Agenda.

Federal-Aid Highway Program

    The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has adopted regulations
in title 23 of the CFR, chapter I, related to the Federal-Aid Highway
Program. These regulations implement and carry out the provisions of
Federal law relating to the administration of Federal aid for highways.
The primary law authorizing Federal aid for highway is chapter I of
title 23 of the U.S.C. 145 of title 23, expressly provides for a
federally assisted State program. For this reason, the regulations
adopted by the FHWA in title 23 of the CFR primarily relate to the
requirements that States must meet to receive Federal funds for the
construction and other work related to highways. Because the
regulations in title 23 primarily relate to States, which are not
defined as small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the
FHWA believes that its regulations in title 23 do not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
The FHWA solicits public comment on this preliminary conclusion.

Year 6 (Fall 2013) List of Rules Analyzed and a Summary of Results

49 CFR part 360--Fees for Motor Carrier Registration and Insurance
     Section 610: There is no SEISNOSE. This administrative
rule allows FMCSA to collect one-time nominal registration and
insurance fees for commercial motor carriers. The fees do not place any
significant cost burden on small entities.
     General: FMCSA will integrate plain language techniques to
the extent possible as it rewrites various rulemakings to address Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy
for Users (SAFETEA-LU) and MAP-21 provisions that authorize the
replacement of three current identification and registration systems
with a single online Federal ``Unified Registration System (URS).'' The
authority to set and collect fees is found in 31 U.S.C. 9701 and 49
U.S.C. 13908.
49 CFR part 3659--Rules Governing Applications for Operating Authority
     Section 610: There is no SEISNOSE. This administrative
rule describes the operating authority application process and does not
require extensive time to complete. The rule also allows commercial
motor vehicle (CMV) carriers to protest a rejected application for
operating authority. Because no entity is obliged to file a protest;
and the filing process requires minimal time to complete, we find that
the rule does not impose any significant costs upon a significant
number of small entities.
     General: FMCSA will integrate plain language techniques as
it rewrites these rulemakings and will integrate this part into 49 CFR
part 360 consistent with the Federal ``Unified Registration System.''
This part is still relevant as it provides carriers with the authority
to operate.
49 CFR part 366--Designation of Process Agent
     Section 610: There is no SEISNOSE. These rules require
motor carriers to designate court-related process agents for every
State in which they operate to enable the claimant to adjudicate a
claim in the jurisdiction where the claim arises. Many small motor
carriers contract with organizations which provide a nationwide blanket
authority at a reasonable cost.
     General: The process-agent designation is imposed by
statute: 49 U.S.C. 13303 and 13304; consequently FMCSA has no
discretion regarding costs associated with this rulemaking. FMCSA will
integrate plain language techniques as it rewrites these rulemakings
and will integrate this part into 49 CFR part 360 consistent with the
Federal ``Unified Registration System.''
49 CFR part 368--Application for a Certificate of Registration to
Operate in Municipalities in the United States on the United States-
Mexico International Border or Within the Commercial Zones of Such
Municipalities
     Section 610: There is no SEISNOSE. The issuance of
``Certificates of Registration'' to Mexican motor carriers of property
desiring to operate in the United States commercial border zones
applies only to Mexican carriers and therefore has no cost impact to
U.S. small entities.
     General: This rule remains important since the North
American Free Trade Agreement has not been fully implemented. The FMCSA
will integrate plain language techniques as it rewrites these
rulemakings and will integrate this part into 49 CFR part 360,
consistent with SAFETEA-LU and the proposed Federal ``Unified
Registration System.''
49 CFR part 374--Discrimination in Operations of Interstate Motor
Common Carriers of Passengers
     Section 610: There is no SEISNOSE. This regulation is
administrative in nature and was transferred to the Department of
Transportation upon the enactment of the Interstate Commerce Commission
Termination Act (ICCTA) of 1995. This rule prohibits certain forms of
discrimination and smoking on interstate motor carriers of

passengers, ticketing requirements, and excess baggage requirements
regarding commercial travel on Interstate motor carriers of passengers.
These rules promote standard business practices that a prudent person
should undertake in the proper management of transportation operations
consistent with existing laws to include the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Civil Rights Amendment. There are no
substantial additive costs borne by small entities as a result of this
rule.
     General: These regulations are cost effective and impose
minimal burden. FMCSA will rewrite the regulations using plain language
techniques as resources permit.
49 CFR part 377--Payment of Transportation Charges
     Section 610: There is no SEISNOSE. The rules and
regulations in this part apply to the transportation by motor vehicle
of collect on delivery shipments by common carriers of property subject
to 49 U.S.C. 13702, and extending credit to shippers. The rules do not
constrain business decisions or impose costly fees upon small entities.
     General: These rules support 49 U.S.C. 13702, and require
certain carriers to publish tariffs in support of non-contiguous
domestic trade. FMCSA will rewrite its regulations using plain language
techniques as resources permit.
49 CFR part 378--Procedures Governing the Processing, Investigation,
and Disposition of Overcharge, Duplicate Payment, or Over-collection
Claims
     Section 610: There is no SEISNOSE. These rules involve
standard business practices that a prudent carrier should undertake in
the proper management of claim disputes even in the absence of the
rules. The benefits of the rule justify their costs, and impose only a
minimal cost burden on small entities.
     General: These rules support 49 U.S.C. 13301, 14101,
14704, 14705, and 13702(a), which regulate the management of claim
disputes. FMCSA will rewrite the regulations using plain language
techniques as resources permit.

Year 7 (Fall 2014) List of Rules Analyzed and a Summary of Results

49 CFR part 223--Safety Glazing Standards--Locomotives, Passenger Cars
and Cabooses
     Section 610: There is no SEIOSNOSE.
     General: The rule provides minimum requirements for
glazing materials, and is necessary to protect railroad employees and
railroad passengers from injury as a result of objects striking the
windows of locomotives, passenger cars and cabooses. Recent amendments
with regard to the clarification existing regulations related to the
use of glazing materials in the windows of locomotives, passenger cars,
and cabooses are expected to reduce paperwork and other economic
burdens on the rail industry by removing a stenciling requirement for
locomotives, passenger cars, and cabooses. FRA's plain language review
of this rule indicates no need for substantial revision.
49 CFR part 233--Signal Systems Reporting Requirements
     Section 610: There is no SEIOSNOSE.
     General: FRA proposed to eliminate the five-year reporting
requirement in a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that was
published on June 19, 2013. The final rule eliminated the regulatory
requirement that each railroad file a Signal Systems Five-Year Report
with FRA which became effective on September 2, 2014. This would reduce
paperwork burdens, and protect public health, welfare, safety and
environment. FRA's plain language review of this rule indicates no need
for substantial revision.

Year 7 (Fall 2014) List of Rules Analyzed and Summary of Results

49 CFR part 630--National Transit Database
     Section 610: The agency has determined that the rule
continues to not have a significant effect on a substantial number of
small entities. FTA is proposing to amend the rule to align with the
statutory requirement to report performance measures and targets for
the National Transit Asset Management System as required under 49
U.S.C. 5326(c)(3). Currently, the NTD reporting requirements are
limited, in some instances, to recipients and sub-recipients of section
5307 urban formula funds and 5311 rural formula funds. The proposed
reporting requirements would apply to all recipients and sub-recipients
of Chapter 53 funds that own, operate, or manage capital assets used in
the provision of public transportation. However, FTA is not proposing
to apply all existing NTD reporting requirements to all recipients of
chapter 53 funds. FTA has evaluated the likely effects of the proposed
rule on small entities and is requesting public comment during the
rulemaking process. FTA has determined that the proposed revisions will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
     General: The rule was promulgated to prescribe
requirements and procedures for compliance with Federal data reporting
requirements dictated by statute. Recently, Congress included
additional reporting requirements for the management of transit asset
when it enacted the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act
(MAP-21), Public Law 112-141, (2012). FTA is promulgating a notice of
proposed rulemaking to implement specific reporting

requirements of the National Asset Management System in accordance with
49 U.S.C. 5326. The proposal includes revising 49 CFR part 630 to apply
to all recipients of Federal public transit funds instead of being
limited to just recipients of Federal funds under 49 U.S.C. 5307 and
5311. However, the proposed rule will not extend all current reporting
requirements to all recipients. This proposal will revise the
regulation to be consistent with current statutory requirements.

Year 7 (Fall 2015) List of Rules Analyzed and a Summary of Results

49 CFR part 176--Carriage by Vessel
     Section 610: There is no SEIOSNOSE. This rule prescribes
minimum safety standards for the transportation of hazardous materials
by vessel. Some small entities may be affected, but the economic impact
on small entities will not be significant.
     General: The requirements in this rule are necessary to
protect workers and the general public from the dangers associated with
incidents involving hazardous materials transported by vessel. These
provisions closely align with international standards for the safe
transportation of dangerous goods. PHMSA works in consultation with the
United States Coast Guard to promote a harmonized international
framework for the vessel transport of hazardous materials through
participation in relevant international standards setting bodies
including the International Maritime Organization's Sub-Committee on
Carriage of Cargoes and Containers and strives to harmonize domestic
regulations with that framework wherever such harmonization provides an
acceptable level of safety and is in the public interest. PHMSA's plain
language review of this rule indicates no need for substantial
revision.
49 CFR part 199--Drug and Alcohol Testing
     Section 610: There is no SEIOSNOSE. Based on regulated
entities, PHMSA found that the majority of operators are not small
businesses. Therefore, though some small entities may be affected, the
economic impact on small entities will not be significant.
     General: No changes are needed. These regulations are cost
effective and impose the least burden. PHMSA's plain language review of
this rule indicates no need for substantial revision.

    Legal Authority: 49 U.S.C. 41712; 49 U.S.C. 40101; 49 U.S.C. 41702
    Abstract: This rulemaking would address a number of proposals to
enhance protections for air travelers and to improve the air travel
environment. This rulemaking would explore whether to codify in
regulation a definition of the term ``ticket agent,'' to require
airlines and ticket agents to disclose at all points of sale the fees
for certain basic ancillary services associated with the air
transportation consumers are buying or considering buying. The
rulemaking would also consider whether to enhance airline passenger
protections such as: Expanding the pool of ``reporting'' carriers;
requiring enhanced reporting by mainline carriers for their domestic
code-share partner operations; requiring large travel agents to adopt
minimum customer service standards; codifying the statutory requirement
that carriers and ticket agents disclose any code-share arrangements on
their Web sites; and prohibiting unfair and deceptive practices such as
undisclosed biasing and post-purchase price increases. The rulemaking
would also consider whether to require ticket agents to

disclose the carriers whose tickets they sell in order to avoid having
consumers mistakenly believe they are searching all possible flight
options for a particular city-pair market when in fact there may be
other options available. Additionally, the rulemaking would correct
drafting errors and make minor changes to the Department's second
Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections rule to conform to guidance
issued by the Department's Office of Aviation Enforcement and
Proceedings (Enforcement Office) regarding its interpretation of the
rule.

    Abstract: This rulemaking would implement a Pilot Records Database
as required by Public Law 111-216 (Aug. 1, 2010). Section 203 amends
the Pilot Records Improvement Act by requiring the FAA to create a
pilot records database that contains various types of pilot records.
These records would be provided by the FAA, air carriers, and other
persons who employ pilots. The FAA must maintain these records until it
receives notice that a pilot is deceased. Air carriers would use this
database to perform a record check on a pilot prior to making a hiring
decision.

    Abstract: This rulemaking would revise title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 23 as a set of performance based regulations
for the design and certification of small transport category aircraft.
This rulemaking would: (1) Reorganize part 23 into performance-based
requirements by removing the detailed design requirements from part 23.
The detailed design provisions that would assist applicants in
complying with the new performance-based requirements would be
identified in means of compliance (MOC) documents to support this
effort; (2) promote the adoption of the newly created performance-based
airworthiness design standard as an internationally accepted standard
by the majority of other civil aviation authorities; (3) re-align the
part 23 requirements to promote the development of entry-level
airplanes similar to those certified under Certification Specification
for Very Light Aircraft (CS-VLA); (4) enhance the FAA's ability to
address new technology; (5) increase the general aviation (GA) level of
safety provided by new and modified airplanes; (6) amend the stall,
stall warning, and spin requirements to reduce fatal accidents and
increase crashworthiness by allowing new methods for occupant
protection; and (7) address icing conditions that are currently not
included in part 23 regulations.

    Abstract: This rulemaking would replace the existing process by
which the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approves portable
oxygen concentrators (POC) for use on board aircraft in air carrier
operations, commercial operations, and certain other operations using
large aircraft. This rulemaking would also replace the current process
and allow passengers to use a POC on board an aircraft if the POC
satisfies certain acceptance criteria and bears a label indicating
conformance with the acceptance criteria. Additionally, this rulemaking
would eliminate redundant operational requirements and paperwork
requirements related to the physician's statement. As a result, this
rulemaking would reduce burdens for POC manufacturers, passengers who
use POCs while traveling, and affected aircraft operators.

    Legal Authority: 49 U.S.C. 322; 51 U.S.C. 50910 to 50923
    Abstract: This rulemaking would extend the waiver of claims for all
the customers involved in a launch or reentry, amend the requirement
describing which entities are required to sign the statutorily-mandated
waiver of claims, and add a new waiver template for the customer's use.
This rulemaking would ease the administrative burden on the customers,
licensees, permittees, and the FAA, especially when a new customer is
added only a short time before the scheduled launch or reentry.

Aircraft

    Legal Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(f); 49 U.S.C. 41703; 49 U.S.C. 44101
to 44106; 49 U.S.C. 44110 to 44113; 49 U.S.C. 44701
    Abstract: This interim final rule would establish an alternative,
stream-lined, web-based aircraft registration system for certain small
unmanned aircraft systems, to help facilitate compliance with existing
statutory obligations for aircraft registration. The alternative
process will help create a culture of accountability and ensure
responsible use of small UAS. As evidenced by the recent reports of
unsafe UAS operations, the lack of awareness of operators regarding
what must be done to operate UAS safely in the NAS, and the lack of
identification of UAS and their operators pose significant challenges
in ensuring accountability for responsible use. Without increased
awareness and knowledge of the statutory and regulatory requirements
for safe operation, the risk of unsafe UAS operations will only rise.
Aircraft registration, identification, and marking will assist the
Department in identifying owners of UAS that are operated in an unsafe
manner, so we may continue to educate these users, and when
appropriate, take enforcement action. This rulemaking is based on
public comment regarding the proposed aircraft registration process for
small UAS in the Operation and Use of Small UAS notice of proposed
rulemaking and recommendations from the UAS Registration task force.

critical functions and testing standards similar to those used in the
repair stations located in the United States. This action is necessary
to increase the level of safety of the flying public.

208. Flight Simulation Training Device Qualification Standards for
Extended Envelope and Adverse Weather Event Training (International
Cooperation)

    Legal Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g); 49 U.S.C. 40113; 49 U.S.C.
44701; Pub. L. 111-216; 124 Stat. 2348; 49 U.S.C. 106(f)
    Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the Qualification Performance
Standards for flight simulation training devices (FSTDs) for the
primary purpose of improving existing technical standards and
introducing new technical standards for full stall and stick pusher
maneuvers, upset recognition and recovery maneuvers, maneuvers
conducted in airborne icing conditions, takeoff and landing maneuvers
in gusting crosswinds, and bounced landing recovery maneuvers. These
new and improved technical standards are intended to fully define FSTD
fidelity requirements for conducting new flight training tasks
introduced through recent changes to the air carrier training
requirements, as well as to address various National Transportation
Safety Board (NTSB) and Aviation Rulemaking Committee recommendations.
This final rule also updates the FSTD technical standards to better
align with the current international FSTD evaluation guidance and
introduces a new FSTD level that expands the number of qualified flight
training tasks in a fixed-base flight training device. These changes
will ensure that the training and testing environment is accurate and
realistic, will codify existing practice, and will provide greater
harmonization with international guidance for simulation. The
amendments will not apply to previously qualified FSTDs with the
exception of the FSTD Directive, which codifies the new FSTD technical
standards for specific training tasks.

209. +Commercial Drivers' License Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse (MAP-
21)

    Legal Authority: 49 U.S.C. 31306
    Abstract: This rulemaking would create a central database for
verified positive controlled substances and alcohol test results for
commercial driver's license (CDL) holders and refusals by such drivers
to submit to testing. This rulemaking would require employers of CDL
holders and service agents to report positive test results and refusals
to test into the Clearinghouse. Prospective employers, acting on an
application for a CDL driver position with the applicant's written
consent to access the Clearinghouse, would query the Clearinghouse to
determine if any specific information about the driver applicant is in
the Clearinghouse before allowing the applicant to be hired and to
drive CMVs. This rulemaking is intended to increase highway safety by
ensuring CDL holders, who have tested positive or have refused to
submit to testing, have completed the U.S. DOT's return-to-duty process
before driving CMVs in interstate or intrastate commerce. It is also
intended to ensure that employers are meeting their drug and alcohol
testing responsibilities. Additionally, provisions in this rulemaking
would also be responsive to requirements of the Moving Ahead for
Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act. MAP-21 required creation of
the Clearinghouse by 10/1/14.

210. +Carrier Safety Fitness Determination

    Legal Authority: 49 U.S.C. 31144; sec. 4009 of TEA-21
    Abstract: FMCSA proposes to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSRs) to adopt revised methodologies that would result
in a safety fitness determination (SFD). The

proposed methodologies would determine when a motor carrier is not fit
to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in or affecting interstate
commerce based on (1) the carrier's on-road safety performance in
relation to five of the Agency's seven Behavioral Analysis and Safety
Improvement Categories (BASICs); (2) an investigation; or (3) a
combination of on-road safety data and investigation information. The
intended effect of this action is to more effectively use FMCSA data
and resources to identify unfit motor carriers and to remove them from
the Nation's roadways.

211. +Entry-Level Driver Training (Section 610 Review)

    Legal Authority: 49 U.S.C. 31136
    Abstract: FMCSA proposes new training standards for certain
individuals applying for their initial commercial driver's license
(CDL); an upgrade of their CDL (e.g., a Class B CDL holder seeking a
Class A CDL); or a hazardous materials, passenger, or school bus
endorsement for their license; and a ``refresher'' training curriculum.
These individuals would be subject to the proposed entry-level driver
training requirements and must complete a course of instruction
provided by an entity that (1) meets the minimum qualifications for
training providers, (2) covers the curriculum, (3) is listed on FMCSA's
proposed Training Provider Registry, and (4) submits electronically to
FMCSA the training certificate for each individual who completes the
training. This NPRM responds to a Congressional mandate imposed under
the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act. The proposed
rule is based on consensus recommendations from the Agency's Entry-
Level Driver Training Advisory Committee (ELDTAC), a negotiated
rulemaking committee which held a series of meetings between February
and May 2015. The compliance date of the rule would be three years
after the effective date of the final rule.

size of different train crew staffs depending on the type of operation.
The minimum crew staffing requirements would reflect the safety risks
posed to railroad

employees, the general public, and the environment. This rulemaking
would also establish minimum requirements for the roles and
responsibilities of the second train crew member on a moving train, and
promote safe and effective teamwork. Additionally, this rulemaking
would permit a railroad to submit information to FRA and seek approval
if it wants to continue an existing operation with a one-person train
crew or start up an operation with less than two crew members.
