DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2011-0324]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to exempt eleven individuals from
the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs). The exemptions will enable these individuals to operate
commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce without meeting
the prescribed vision requirement. The Agency has concluded that
granting these exemptions will provide a level of safety that is
equivalent to or greater than the level of safety maintained without
the exemptions for these CMV drivers.

DATES: The exemptions are effective April 12, 2012. The exemptions
expire on April 12, 2014.

Background

    On February 13, 2012, FMCSA published a notice of receipt of
exemption applications from certain individuals, and requested comments
from the public (77 FR 7657). That notice listed eleven applicants'
case histories. The eleven individuals applied for exemptions from the
vision requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), for drivers who operate
CMVs in interstate commerce.
    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
for a 2-year period if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to or greater than the level that
would be achieved absent such exemption.'' The statute also allows the
Agency to renew exemptions at the end of the 2-year period.
Accordingly, FMCSA has evaluated the eleven applications on their
merits and made a determination to grant exemptions to each of them.

Vision and Driving Experience of the Applicants

    The vision requirement in the FMCSRs provides:
    A person is physically qualified to drive a commercial motor
vehicle 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 requirement red, green,
and amber (49 CFR 391.41(b)(10)).
    FMCSA recognizes that some drivers do not meet the vision
requirement but have adapted their driving to accommodate their vision
limitation and demonstrated their ability to drive safely. The eleven
exemption applicants listed in this notice are in this category. They
are unable to meet the vision requirement in one eye for various
reasons, including amblyopia, retinal detachment, reduced vision,
prosthesis, macular scar, pituitary tumor and esotropia. In most cases,
their eye conditions were not recently developed. Seven of the
applicants were either born with their vision impairments or have had
them since childhood. The four individuals sustained their vision
conditions as adults and have had them for a period of 18 to 30 years.
    Although each applicant has one eye which does not meet the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), each has at least 20/40 corrected
vision in the other eye, and in a doctor's opinion, has sufficient
vision to perform all the tasks necessary to operate a CMV. Doctors'
opinions are supported by the applicants' possession of valid
commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) or non-CDLs to operate CMVs. Before
issuing CDLs, States subject drivers to knowledge and skills tests
designed to evaluate their qualifications to operate a CMV.
    All of these applicants satisfied the testing requirements for
their State of residence. By meeting State licensing requirements, the
applicants demonstrated their ability to operate a CMV, with their
limited vision, to the satisfaction of the State.
    While possessing a valid CDL or non-CDL, these eleven drivers have
been authorized to drive a CMV in intrastate commerce, even though
their vision disqualified them from driving in interstate commerce.
They have driven CMVs with their limited vision for careers ranging
from 4 to 52 years. In the past 3 years, none of the drivers were
involved in crashes, and one of the drivers was convicted of a moving
violation in a CMV.
    The qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each
applicant were stated and discussed in detail in the February 13, 2012
notice (77 FR 7657).

Basis for Exemption Determination

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the vision requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) if the exemption is
likely to achieve an equivalent or greater level of safety than would
be achieved without the exemption. Without the exemption, applicants
will continue to be restricted to intrastate driving. With the
exemption, applicants can drive in interstate commerce. Thus, our
analysis focuses on whether an equal or greater level of safety is
likely to be achieved by permitting each of these drivers to drive in
interstate commerce as opposed to restricting him or her to driving in
intrastate commerce.
    To evaluate the effect of these exemptions on safety, FMCSA
considered the medical reports about the applicants' vision as well as
their driving records and experience with the vision deficiency.
    To qualify for an exemption from the vision requirement, FMCSA
requires a person to present verifiable evidence that he/she has driven
a commercial vehicle safely with the vision deficiency for the past 3
years. Recent driving performance is especially important in evaluating
future safety, according to several research studies designed to
correlate past and future driving performance. Results of these studies
support the principle that the best predictor of future performance by
a driver is his/her past record of crashes and traffic violations.
Copies of the studies may be found at Docket Number FMCSA-1998-3637.
    We believe we can properly apply the principle to monocular
drivers, because data from the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA)
former waiver study program clearly demonstrate the driving performance
of experienced monocular drivers in the program is better than that of
all CMV drivers collectively (See 61 FR 13338, 13345, March 26, 1996).
The fact that experienced monocular drivers demonstrated safe driving
records in the waiver program supports a conclusion that other
monocular drivers, meeting the same qualifying conditions as those
required by the waiver program, are also likely to have adapted to
their vision deficiency and will continue to operate safely.
    The first major research correlating past and future performance
was done in England by Greenwood and Yule in 1920. Subsequent studies,
building on that model, concluded that crash rates for the same
individual exposed to certain risks for two different time periods vary
only slightly (See Bates and Neyman, University of California
Publications in Statistics, April 1952). Other studies demonstrated
theories of predicting crash proneness from crash history coupled with
other factors. These factors--such as age, sex, geographic location,
mileage driven and conviction history--are used every day by insurance
companies and motor vehicle bureaus to predict the probability of an
individual experiencing future crashes (See Weber, Donald C.,
``Accident Rate Potential: An Application of Multiple Regression
Analysis of a Poisson Process,'' Journal of American Statistical
Association, June 1971). A 1964 California Driver Record Study prepared
by the California Department of Motor Vehicles concluded that the best
overall crash predictor for both concurrent and nonconcurrent events is
the number of single convictions. This study used 3 consecutive years
of data, comparing the experiences of drivers in the first 2 years with
their experiences in the final year.
    Applying principles from these studies to the past 3-year record of
the eleven applicants, none of the drivers were involved in crashes and
one of the drivers was convicted of a moving violation in a CMV. All
the applicants achieved a record of safety while driving with their
vision impairment, demonstrating the likelihood that they have adapted
their driving skills to accommodate their condition. As the applicants'
ample driving histories with their vision deficiencies are good
predictors of future performance, FMCSA concludes their ability to
drive safely can be projected into the future.
    We believe that the applicants' intrastate driving experience and
history provide an adequate basis for predicting their ability to drive
safely in interstate commerce. Intrastate driving, like interstate
operations, involves substantial driving on highways on the interstate
system and on other roads built to interstate standards. Moreover,
driving in congested urban areas exposes the driver to more pedestrian
and vehicular traffic than exists on interstate highways. Faster
reaction to traffic and traffic signals is generally required because
distances between them are more compact. These conditions tax visual
capacity and driver response just as intensely as interstate driving
conditions. The veteran drivers in this proceeding have operated CMVs
safely under those conditions for at least 3 years, most for much
longer. Their experience and driving records lead us to believe that

each applicant is capable of operating in interstate commerce as safely
as he/she has been performing in intrastate commerce. Consequently,
FMCSA finds that exempting these applicants from the vision requirement
in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) is likely to achieve a level of safety equal to
that existing without the exemption. For this reason, the Agency is
granting the exemptions for the 2-year period allowed by 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315 to the eleven applicants listed in the notice of
February 13, 2012 (77 FR 7657).
    We recognize that the vision of an applicant may change and affect
his/her ability to operate a CMV as safely as in the past. As a
condition of the exemption, therefore, FMCSA will impose requirements
on the eleven individuals consistent with the grandfathering provisions
applied to drivers who participated in the Agency's vision waiver
program.
    Those requirements are found at 49 CFR 391.64(b) and include the
following: (1) That each individual be physically examined every year
(a) by an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in
the better eye continues to meet the requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10) and (b) by a medical examiner who attests that the
individual is otherwise physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2)
that each individual provide a copy of the ophthalmologist's or
optometrist's report to the medical examiner at the time of the annual
medical examination; and (3) that each individual provide a copy of the
annual medical certification to the employer for retention in the
driver's qualification file, or keep a copy in his/her driver's
qualification file if he/she is self-employed. The driver must have a
copy of the certification when driving, for presentation to a duly
authorized Federal, State, or local enforcement official.

Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received one comment in this proceeding. The Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation is in favor of granting Federal vision
exemptions to Daniel I. Miller and Roger L. Courson.

Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the eleven exemption applications,
FMCSA exempts John E. Chitty (FL), Roger L. Courson (PA), Revis D.
Durbin (IL), James D. Evans (MD), Lowell S. Johnson (MN), Chet A. Keen
(UT), Julian A. Mancha (TX), Daniel I. Miller (PA), Elijah Mitchell
(TX), Gregory M. Quilling (VA), and Donald L. Schaeffer (MO) from the
vision requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), subject to the requirements
cited above (49 CFR 391.64(b)).
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each exemption
will be valid for 2 years unless revoked earlier by FMCSA. The
exemption will be revoked if: (1) The person fails to comply with the
terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted
in a lower level of safety than was maintained before it was granted;
or (3) continuation of the exemption would not be consistent with the
goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and 31315.
    If the exemption is still effective at the end of the 2-year
period, the person may apply to FMCSA for a renewal under procedures in
effect at that time.

    Issued on: April 3, 2012.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2017-0270]

Hours of Service of Drivers: National Tank Truck Carriers,
Massachusetts Motor Transportation Association; Exemption Correction

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Correction of exemption.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: FMCSA amends its April 9, 2018, Notice of Final Disposition
granting a limited exemption to the National Tank Truck Carriers, Inc.
(NTTC) and the Massachusetts Motor Transport Association, Inc. (MMTA)
from the requirement that drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs)
obtain a 30-minute rest break. The Agency granted the limited exemption
to drivers of CMVs transporting specified fuels, and failed to include
propane gas as a specified fuel as

requested by the National Propane Gas Association (NPGA). This notice
corrects that oversight.

DATES: The exemption is effective April 9, 2018 and expires on April
10, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information concerning this
notice, please contact Mr. Buz Schultz, FMCSA Driver and Carrier
Operations Division; Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; Email:
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Request for Exemption

    NTTC and MMTA applied for an exemption from the 30-minute rest
break provision of the hours of service (HOS) rules (49 CFR part 395)
on behalf of motor carriers and drivers operating tank trucks to
transport certain petroleum-based products in interstate commerce. The
tank trucks are normally loaded with products in the morning, and
deliver the products to three or more service stations during the
remainder of the duty day. Most of the estimated 38,000 vehicles
engaged in such transportation each day qualify for the 100 air-mile
radius exception, but circumstances beyond the control of the motor
carrier and driver occasionally cause delays in the delivery schedule.
If a driver cannot complete his or her duty day within the 12-hour
period specified by the 100 air-mile radius exception, he or she must
at the first opportunity take a 30-minute rest break. This is
problematic, however, for tank truck drivers delivering hazardous
materials (HM). For instance, as a security measure, a motor carrier
may require that a tank truck transporting certain fuels be attended by
the driver when the vehicle is stopped, and a driver attending a CMV is
not off duty as required by the rest-break rule. It is also difficult
to find safe and secure parking for tank trucks on such short notice.
    On September 26, 2017, FMCSA published notice of the application
for exemption and asked for public comment (82 FR 44871). The National
Propane Gas Association (NPGA) submitted a request for the inclusion of
transporters of propane gas if the exemption were granted. FMCSA
determined that the level of safety achieved by drivers transporting
petroleum and propane products under the terms and conditions of the
exemption, would be equal to, or greater than, the level of safety that
would be achieved if the drivers were required to take the rest break.
On April 9, 2018, the Agency granted a limited exemption (83 FR 15221).
All drivers exercising the exemption must maintain an HOS log and
complete their duty day within 14 hours. FMCSA inadvertently failed to
include the products transported by NPGA motor carriers and drivers:
propane fuels U.N. 1075 and U.N. 1978. This notice corrects that
oversight. The NTTC and MMTA have advised that they have no objection.
    FMCSA corrects this oversight by amending paragraph 3 of the Terms
and Conditions published on April 9, 2018. The amendment adds the
propane fuels U.N. 1075 and U.N. 1978 to the products listed in that
paragraph. Qualifying drivers transporting these products are entitled
to the exemption from the 30-minute rest break. The expiration date of
this exemption remains unchanged: April 10, 2023. The complete Terms
and Conditions, as amended today, are as follows:

Terms and Conditions of the Exemption

    1. This exemption from the requirements of 49 CFR 395.3(a)(3)(ii)
is effective April 9, 2018 and expires on April 10, 2023.
    2. This exemption applies when a driver who normally operates under
the 49 CFR 395.1(e)(1) short-haul exception finds that operational
issues require him or her to exceed the 12-hour limit of that
exception. Drivers operating under this exemption must, however, return
to their work reporting location and be released from duty within 14
hours of having come on duty following 10 or more consecutive hours off
duty.
    3. This exemption is limited to motor carriers and drivers engaged
in the transportation of the following petroleum products: U.N. 1170--
Ethanol, U.N. 1202--Diesel Fuel, U.N. 1203--Gasoline, U.N. 1863--Fuel,
aviation, turbine engine, U.N. 1993--Flammable liquids, n.o.s.
(gasoline), U.N. 3475--Ethanol and gasoline mixture, Ethanol and motor
spirit mixture, or Ethanol and petrol mixture, N.A. 1993--Diesel Fuel
or Fuel Oil, U.N. 1075 and U.N. 1978--propane fuels.
    4. This exemption is further limited to motor carriers that have an
FMCSA ``satisfactory'' safety rating or are ``unrated''; motor carriers
with ``conditional'' or ``unsatisfactory'' safety ratings are
prohibited from utilizing this exemption.
    5. Drivers must have a copy of this exemption document in their
possession while operating under the terms of the exemption and must
present it to law enforcement officials upon request.

Accident Reporting

    Motor carriers employing this exemption must notify FMCSA by email
addressed to [email protected] within 5 business days of any accident (as
defined in 49 CFR 390.5T) that occurs while its driver is operating
under the terms of this exemption. The notification must include:
    a. Identifier of the Exemption: ``NTTC,''
    b. Name of operating carrier and USDOT number,
    c. Date of the accident,
    d. City or town, and State, in which the accident occurred, or
closest to the accident scene,
    e. Driver's name and license number,
    f. Name of co-driver, if any, and license number,
    g. Vehicle number and state license number,
    h. Number of individuals suffering physical injury,
    i. Number of fatalities,
    j. The police-reported cause of the accident,
    k. Whether the driver was cited for violation of any traffic laws
or motor carrier safety regulations, and
    l. The total driving time and total on-duty time prior to the
accident.

Safety Oversight

    FMCSA expects the motor carriers and drivers operating under the
terms and conditions of this exemption to maintain their safety record.
However, should safety deteriorate, FMCSA will, consistent with the
statutory requirements of 49 U.S.C. 31315, take all steps necessary to
protect the public interest. Authorization of the exemption is
discretionary, and FMCSA will immediately revoke the exemption of any
motor carrier or driver for failure to comply with the terms and
conditions of the exemption.

Preemption

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31313(d), as implemented by 49 CFR
381.600, during the period this exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation applicable to interstate commerce that
conflicts with or is inconsistent with this exemption with respect to a
firm or person operating under the exemption. States may, but are not
required to, adopt the same exemption with respect to operations in
intrastate commerce

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Kathy Sifrit, Contracting
Officer's Technical Representative, Office of Behavioral Safety
Research (NTI-132), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., W46-472, Washington, DC 20590. Dr. Sifrit's
phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER> and her email address is
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB
for approval, it must publish a document in the Federal Register
providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of
the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of
information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must
be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulations (at 5 CFR
1320.8(d)), an agency must ask for public comment on the following: (i)
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information will have practical utility; (ii) The accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) How to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) How to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including the
use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. In
compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks public comment on the
following proposed collection of information:

Older Driver Compliance With Licensing Restrictions

    Type of Request--New information collection requirement.
    OMB Clearance Number--None.
    Form Number--NHTSA 1186.
    Requested Expiration Date of Approval--3 years from date of
approval.
    Summary of the Collection of Information--The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposes to collect information
from licensed drivers about their driver license status and driving
habits. Participation in the study will be voluntary. Drivers will
volunteer for the study by responding to a mailed or individually-
delivered descriptive solicitation. The drivers will be asked a series
of seven questions to determine eligibility to participate in a study
of driving restrictions. A project assistant will then describe the
proposed study to those respondents who qualify for the study and
answer all questions that the drivers may have. Each driver who meets
the criteria for subject selection will then be asked if he or she
wishes to participate. If yes, a project assistant will ask the
following questions to facilitate participation: ``What is the make,
model, and year of your car?'' ``What is your car's Tag number?''(so
the installer can identify the car) and ``Will you be spending the next
two or three months in the area?''
    A system will be installed in the participant's car to measure car
usage; this system will collect all remaining data necessary for the
study. One device will collect the car's Global Positioning System
coordinates and a companion device will capture an image of the driver
to confirm the operator on each trip is the study participant.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the
Information--NHTSA was established to reduce the number of deaths,
injuries, and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes on
the Nation's highways. As part of this statutory mandate, NHTSA is
authorized to conduct research as a foundation for the development of
motor vehicle standards and traffic safety programs.
    Some States impose driving restrictions on drivers who have been
found to suffer impairments that may affect safety, but it is unclear
whether drivers with those restrictions comply. The proposed questions
will allow research staff to ensure that prospective participants meet
study inclusion criteria and facilitate their study participation. The
purpose of the study is to document driving habits of drivers with
restrictions imposed by the licensing authority, drivers with
restrictions recommended by a certified driving rehabilitation
specialist but without imposed restrictions, and a control group of
unrestricted drivers of similar age. Analyses of these data will
provide information about the extent to which drivers comply with
license restrictions and with certified driving rehabilitation
specialist recommendations, and whether such restrictions lead to
reduced driving exposure. NHTSA will use the information to inform
recommendations to the States regarding restricted licensing practices
for the purpose of reducing injuries and loss of life on the highway.

    Description of the Likely Respondents (Including Estimated Number,
and Proposed Frequency of Response to the Collection of Information)--
Respondents will include drivers licensed in the State of Virginia, age
70 years and older. The agency proposes to conduct 240 telephone
conversations with respondents to descriptive solicitations to yield
120 participants.
    Estimate of the Total Annual Reporting and Record Keeping Burden
Resulting from the Collection of Information--The 240 telephone
conversations will average 10 minutes in length including introduction,
qualifying questions, potential participant questions, logistical
questions, and conclusion. The total estimated annual burden will be 40
hours. Participants will incur no costs from the data collection and
participants will incur no record keeping burden and no record keeping
cost from the information collection.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. Section 3506(c)(2)(A).

    Issued on April 17, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0064 dated March 5, 2021, to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Fokker Services B.V. Model F28
Mark 0070 and Mark 0100 airplanes.
    This AD was prompted by a report of a crack found on the forward
pressure bulkhead web plate, at the edge of a bonded doubler of a Model
F28 Mark 0070. The airplane had accumulated approximately 37,000 total
flight cycles at the time of the finding. The threshold for the
applicable Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) inspection task is
currently 60,000 flight cycles. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
cracking of the forward pressure bulkhead, which could result in
reduced structural integrity and consequent rapid decompression of the
airplane. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0064 describes procedures for a one-time detailed
inspection of the forward bulkhead for cracking, a report of inspection
results, and repair of any crack found. This material is reasonably
available because the interested parties have access to it through
their normal course of business or by the means identified in the
ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this AD because the FAA evaluated
all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Requirements of This AD

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in EASA AD
2021-0064 described previously, as incorporated by reference, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use certain civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result,
EASA AD 2021-0064 is incorporated by reference in this AD. This AD,
therefore, requires compliance with EASA AD 2021-0064 in its entirety,
through that incorporation, except for any differences identified as
exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD. Using common terms that
are the same as the heading of a particular section in EASA AD 2021-
0064 does not mean that operators need comply only with that section.
For example, where the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions
and compliance times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not
limited to the section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance
Time(s)'' in EASA AD 2021-0064. Service information specified in EASA
AD 2021-0064 that is required for compliance with it is available at
https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2021-0698.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    There are currently no domestic operators of these products.
Therefore, the FAA finds that notice and opportunity for prior public
comment are unnecessary and that good cause exists for making this
amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2021-0698; Project Identifier MCAI-
2021-00284-T'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the final rule, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this final rule because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this final rule.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Ho-Joon
Lim, Aerospace Engineer, Large Aircraft Section, International
Validation Branch, FAA, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198;
telephone and fax<PHONE_NUMBER>; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any
commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated
as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    The requirements of the RFA do not apply when an agency finds good
cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without prior notice and
comment. Because the FAA has determined that it has good cause to adopt
this rule without notice and comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD interim action. If final action is later
identified, the FAA may consider further rulemaking at that time.

Costs of Compliance

    Currently, there are no affected U.S.-registered airplanes. For any
affected airplane that may be imported and placed on the U.S. Register
in the future, the FAA provides the following cost estimates to comply
with this AD:

                 Estimated Costs for Required Actions *
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Cost per
              Labor cost                   Parts cost        product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 work-hours x $85 per hour = $255....              $0             $680
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Table does not include estimated costs for reporting.

    The FAA estimates that it takes about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the reporting requirement in this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the
cost of reporting the inspection results on U.S. operators to be $85
per product.
    The FAA has received no definitive data that would enable the
agency to provide cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified
in this AD.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation
Administration, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive:

2021-18-02 Fokker Services B.V.: Amendment 39-21703; Docket No. FAA-
2021-0698; Project Identifier MCAI-2021-00284-T.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective September
30, 2021.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-180, OMB Control No. 3235-0247]

Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Form N-8B-4

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Form N-8B-4 (17 CFR 274.14) is the form used by face-amount
certificate companies to comply with the filing and disclosure
requirements imposed by Section 8(b) of the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-8(b)). Among other items, Form N-8B-4 requires
disclosure of the following information about the face-amount
certificate company: date and form of organization; controlling
persons; current business and contemplated changes to the company's
business; investment, borrowing, and lending policies, as well as other
fundamental policies; securities issued by the company; investment
adviser; depositaries; management personnel; compensation paid to
directors, officers, and certain employees; and financial statements.
The Commission uses the information provided in the collection of
information to determine compliance with Section 8(b) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940.
    Form N-8B-4 and the burden of compliance have not changed since the
last approval. Each registrant files Form N-8B-4 for its initial filing
and does not file post-effective amendments to Form N-8B-4.\1\
Commission staff estimates that no respondents will file Form N-8B-4
each year. There is currently only one existing face-amount certificate
company, and no face-amount certificate companies have filed a Form N-
8B-4 in many years. No new face-amount certificate companies have been
established since the last OMB information collection approval for this
form, which occurred in 2020. Accordingly, the staff estimates that,
each year, no face-amount certificate companies will file Form N-8B-4,
and that the total burden for the information collection is zero hours.
Although Commission staff estimates that there is no hour burden
associated with Form N-8B-4, the staff is requesting a burden of one
hour for administrative purposes. Estimates of the burden hours are
made solely for the purposes of the PRA and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of
SEC rules and forms.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Pursuant to Section 30(b)(1) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 80a-29),
each respondent keeps its registration statement current through the
filing of periodic reports as required by Section 13 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m) and the rules
thereunder. Post-effective amendments are filed with the Commission
on the face-amount certificate company's Form S-1. Hence,
respondents only file Form N-8B-4 for their initial registration
statement and not for post-effective amendments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The information provided on Form N-8B-4 is mandatory. The
information provided on Form N-8B-4 will not be kept confidential. An
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted by February 27, 2023.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: David Bottom, Acting
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
c/o John Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an
email to: [email protected].

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Exchange
Rule 7.21, Obligations of Market Maker Authorized Traders

March 1, 2016.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on February 22, 2016, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``NYSE Arca'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, of which Items I and II have been prepared by the self-
regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 7.21, Obligations of
Market Maker Authorized Traders. The proposed rule change is available
on the Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of
the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange recently amended its rules to prescribe the Securities
Traders examination (Series 57) (the ``Series 57 Examination'') as the
qualifying examination for employees of ETP Holders (``Member'')
engaged solely in proprietary trading.\4\ Under current rules,
Securities Traders and Market Maker Authorized Traders (``MMATs'')
essentially perform similar functions. In the Series 57 Filing, which,
among other things, amended Exchange rules regarding the registration
requirements for Securities Traders, the Exchange also intended to
amend Rule 7.21 to amend the registration requirements for MMATs but
inadvertently failed to do so. The Exchange is now proposing to amend
Rule 7.21 so that the registration requirements applicable to MMATs are
the same as those imposed on Securities Traders. Specifically, Rule
7.21(b)(2) states that to be eligible for registration

as a MMAT, a person must successfully complete the General Securities
Representative Examination (Series 7) and complete a training and
certification program sponsored by the Corporation.\5\ The rule further
provides that the examination requirement may be waived if an applicant
MMAT has served as a dealer-specialist or market maker on a registered
national securities exchange for at least two consecutive years within
three years of the date of the application.\6\ The Exchange does not
intend to impose different registration requirements on MMATs than are
required of Securities Traders. In order to satisfy the registration
requirement, Securities Traders are required to successfully complete
the Series 57 Examination.\7\ The proposed amendment to Rule 7.21(b)
would ensure that MMATs would also be required to successfully complete
the Series 57 Examination in order to satisfy the Exchange's
registration requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 76578 (December 8,
2015), 80 FR 77068 (December 11, 2015) (SR-NYSEArca-2015-117)
(``Series 57 Filing'').
    \5\ See Rule 7.21(b).
    \6\ Id.
    \7\ See Rule 2.21.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange intends to announce the implementation date of the
Series 57 registration requirement in a notice to members to be issued
no later than 30 days after the effective date of the proposed rule
change.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act''),\8\ in general,
and furthers the objectives of Section 6(c)(3)(B) \9\ of the Act,
pursuant to which a national securities exchange prescribes standards
of training, experience and competence for members and their associated
persons, and Section 6(b)(5) \10\ of the Act, in particular, in that it
is designed, among other things, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to remove impediments to, and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The proposed
rule change, which would ensure that Securities Traders and MMATs are
not subject to different registration requirements, is designed to
maintain consistency in the Exchange's rules, which would promote just
and equitable principles of trade and remove impediments to a free and
open market. The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change to
make the Series 57 Examination the qualifying exam for registration as
a MMAT is appropriate because the Series 57 Examination addresses
industry topics that establish the foundation for the regulatory and
procedural knowledge necessary for MMATs to appropriately register
under Exchange rules.

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(c)(3)(B).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change does
not impose any additional examination burdens on persons who are
already registered. There is no obligation to take the Series 57
examination in order to continue in their present duties, so the
proposed rule change is not expected to disadvantage current registered
persons relative to new entrants in this regard.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \13\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\14\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative upon filing. The Exchange has stated that the
proposed rule change promotes uniformity in registration requirements
on the Exchange and that waiver of the operative delay would allow the
Exchange to immediately create consistency in its rules. Waiving the
operative delay would enable the Exchange to have and enforce the same
examination requirement for MMATs as for securities traders, which the
Exchange represents engage in the same activity, therefore the
Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the thirty-day operative
delay.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \15\ For purposes of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the
Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B)\16\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the Wantagh State Parkway Bridge across
Sloop Channel, mile 15.4, at Hempstead, New York. This deviation is
necessary in order to facilitate an annual fireworks display and allows
the bridge to remain in the closed position for three hours.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 9 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. on July 4,
2018.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, USCG-2018-0051, is available

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email Judy K. Leung-Yee, Bridge Management
Specialist, First District Bridge Branch, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone
212-514-4336, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The New York State Office of Parks,
Recreation, and Historic Preservation requested and the bridge owner,
the New York State Department of Transportation, concurred with this
temporary deviation from the normal operating schedule to facilitate a
public fireworks display.
    The Wantagh State Parkway Bridge, across Sloop Channel, mile 15.4,
has a vertical clearance of 16 feet at mean high water and 19.5 feet at
mean low water in the closed position. The existing drawbridge
operating regulation is listed at 33 CFR 117.5.
    The temporary deviation will allow the Wantagh Parkway Bridge to
remain closed from 9 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. on July 4, 2018. Sloop Channel
is transited by seasonal recreational vessels and commercial fishing
vessels. Coordination with Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound has
indicated no mariner objections to the proposed short-term closure of
the draw.
    Vessels that can pass under the bridge without an opening may do so
at all times. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies. There is
no alternate route for vessels to pass.
    The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways through
our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating
schedule for the bridge so that vessel operators can arrange their
transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: February 1, 2018.
Christopher J. Bisignano,
Supervisory Bridge Management Specialist, First Coast Guard District.
