[Docket No. FMCSA-2015-0332]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Extension of a
Currently-Approved Information Collection Request: Information
Technology Services Survey Portal Customer Satisfaction Assessment
(formerly COMPASS Portal Consumer Satisfaction Assessment)

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

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FMCSA
announces its plan to submit the Information Collection Request (ICR)
described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its
review and approval and invites public comment. The collection involves
an extension to a currently-approved ICR, and includes the assessment
of FMCSA's strategic decision to integrate its Information Technology
(IT) with its business processes using portal technology to consolidate
its systems and databases through the FMCSA Information Technology
Services Survey modernization initiative. The information to be
collected will be used to assess the satisfaction of Federal, State,
and industry customers with the FMCSA Information Technology Services
Survey Portal. The name of the ``COMPASS Portal Customer Satisfaction
Assessment,'' ICR was previously changed to ``Information Technology
Services Survey Portal Customer Satisfaction Assessment,'' to reflect
the need for a broader term than ``COMPASS'' for the portal. On October
27, 2015, FMCSA published a Federal Register notice (80 FR 65847)
allowing for a 60-day comment period on this ICR. The agency received
no comments in response to that notice.

DATES: Please send your comments to this notice by March 18, 2016. OMB
must receive your comments by this date to act quickly on the ICR.

ADDRESSES: All comments should reference Federal Docket Management
System (FDMS) Docket Number FMCSA-2015-0332. Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on the proposed information
collection to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office
of Management and Budget. Comments should be addressed to the attention
of the Desk Officer, Department of Transportation/Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration, and sent via electronic mail to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>faxed to<PHONE_NUMBER>, or mailed to the
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC
20503.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Information Technology Services Survey Portal Customer
Satisfaction Assessment.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0042.
    Type of Request: Extension of the currently-approved information
collection request.
    Respondents: Federal, State, and industry customers/users.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,392.
    Estimated Time per Response: Five (5) minutes.
    Expiration Date: 05/31/2016.
    Frequency of Response: 4 times per year.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 283 hours [91 hours (273 industry
user respondents x 5 minutes/60 minutes to complete survey x 4 times
per year) + 192 hours (575 Federal and State government respondents x 5
minutes/60 minutes to complete survey x 4 times per year) = 283].

Background

    Title II, section 207 of the E-Government Act of 2002 requires
Government agencies to improve the methods by which government
information, including information on the Internet, is organized,
preserved, and made accessible to the public. To meet this goal, FMCSA
plans to provide a survey on the FMCSA Portal, allowing users to assess
its functionality. This functionality includes the capability for
Federal, State, and industry users to access the Agency's existing
safety IT systems with a single set of credentials and have easy access
to safety data about the companies that do business with FMCSA. The
Information Technology program will also focus on improving the
accuracy of data to help ensure information, such as carrier name and
address, is valid and reliable.
    FMCSA's legacy information systems are currently operational.
However, having many stand-alone systems has led to data quality
concerns, a need for excessive IDs and passwords, and significant
operational and maintenance costs. Integrating our information
technologies with our business processes will, in turn, improve our
operations considerably, particularly in terms of data quality, ease of
use, and a reduction of maintenance costs.
    In early 2007, FMCSA's Information Technology program launched a
series of releases of a new FMCSA Portal to its Federal, State and
industry customers. Over the coming years, more than 15 releases are
planned. These releases will use portal technology to fuse and provide
numerous services and functions via a single user interface and provide
tailored services that seek to meet the needs of specific
constituencies within our customer universe.
    The FMCSA Information Technology Services Survey Portal will entail
considerable expenditure of Federal Government dollars over the years
and will fundamentally impact the nature of the relationship between
the Agency and its Federal, State, and industry customers.
Consequently, the Agency intends to conduct regular and ongoing
assessments of customer satisfaction with the Information Technology
Services Survey.
    The primary purposes of this assessment are to:
     Determine the extent to which the FMCSA Portal
functionality continues to meet the needs of Agency customers;
     Identify and prioritize additional modifications; and
     Determine the extent that the FMCSA Portal has impacted
FMCSA's relationships with its main customer groups.
    The assessment will address:
     Overall customer satisfaction;
     Customer satisfaction against specific items;

     Performance of systems integrator against agreed-upon
objectives;
     Desired adjustments and modifications to systems;
     Demonstrated value of investment to FMCSA and DOT;
     Items about the FMCSA Portal that customers like best; and
     Customer ideas for making the FMCSA Portal better.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the agency to perform its mission; (2) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the FMCSA to enhance the
quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information.

    Issued under the authority of 49 CFR 1.87 on: February 5, 2016.

Associate Administrator for Office of Research and Information
Technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Batten International Airport, Racine, WI, contained
within the Milwaukee, WI, airspace description, to support instrument
flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2017-0740;
Airspace Docket No. 17-AGL-18.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule.
The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of the
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public contact
with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's Web page at http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number)
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101
Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective
September 15, 2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying the Class E airspace area
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.6-mile
radius (decreased from an 8.1-mile radius) at Batten International
Airport, Racine, WI, contained within the Milwaukee, WI, airspace
description.
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of
the Horlick VOR, which provided navigation guidance for the instrument
procedures to this airport, as part of the VOR MON Program. This action
would enhance safety and the management of IFR operations at this
airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
