DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2012-0032]

Commercial Driver's License Standards: Application for Exemption;
Daimler Trucks North America (Daimler)

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

ACTION: Notice of final disposition; grant of application for
exemption.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to grant an exemption to Daimler
Trucks North America (Daimler) for one of its commercial motor vehicle
(CMV) drivers. Daimler requested a 5-year exemption from the Federal
requirement to hold a U.S. commercial driver's license (CDL) for Mr.
Christophe Veber, Lead Engineer in Vehicle Predictive Technology for

Daimler. Mr. Veber holds a valid German commercial license and wants to
test-drive Daimler vehicles on U.S. roads to better understand product
requirements for these systems in ``real world'' environments, and
verify results. Daimler believes the requirements for a German
commercial license ensure that holders of the license will likely
achieve a level of safety equal to or greater than that of drivers who
hold a U.S. State-issued CDL.

DATES: This exemption is applicable September 10, 2018 and expires
September 11, 2023.

ADDRESSES:
    Docket: For access to the docket to read background documents or

Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

II. Legal Basis

    FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 to grant
exemptions from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. FMCSA
must publish a notice of each exemption request in the Federal Register
(49 CFR 381.315(a)). The Agency must provide the public an opportunity
to inspect the information relevant to the application, including any
safety analyses that have been conducted. The Agency must also provide
an opportunity for public comment on the request.
    The Agency reviews the safety analyses and the public comments, and
determines whether granting the exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). The decision of
the Agency must be published in the Federal Register (49 CFR
381.315(b)) with the reason for the grant or denial, and, if granted,
the specific person or class of persons receiving the exemption, and
the regulatory provision or provisions from which exemption is granted.
The notice must also specify the applicability period of the exemption
(up to 5 years), and explain the terms and conditions of the exemption.
The exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)).

Request for Exemption

    On behalf of Mr. Christophe Veber, Daimler has applied for a 5-year
exemption from 49 CFR 383.23, which prescribes licensing requirements
for drivers operating CMVs in interstate or intrastate commerce. Mr.
Veber is unable to obtain a CDL in any of the States due to his lack of
residency in the United States. A copy of the application is in Docket
No. FMCSA-2012-0032.
    The exemption would allow Mr. Veber to operate CMVs in interstate
or intrastate commerce to support Daimler field tests designed to meet
future vehicle safety and environmental requirements and to develop
improved safety and emission technologies. Mr. Veber needs to drive
Daimler vehicles on public roads to better understand ``real world''
environments in the U.S. market. According to Daimler, Mr. Veber will
typically drive for no more than 6 hours per day for 2 consecutive
days, and that 10 percent of the test driving will be on two-lane State
highways, while 90 percent will be on Interstate highways. The driving
will consist of no more than 200 miles per day, for a total of 400
miles during a two-day period on a quarterly basis. He will in all
cases be accompanied by a holder of a U.S. CDL who is familiar with the
routes to be traveled.
    Mr. Veber would be required to comply with all applicable Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) (49 CFR parts 350-399) except
the CDL provisions described in this notice.
    Mr. Veber holds a valid German commercial license, and as explained
by Daimler in its exemption request, the requirements for that license
ensure that the same level of safety is met or exceeded as if this
driver had a U.S. CDL. Furthermore, according to Daimler, Mr. Veber is
familiar with the operation of CMVs worldwide.

IV. Method To Ensure an Equivalent or Greater Level of Safety

    FMCSA has previously determined that the process for obtaining a
German commercial license is comparable to, or as effective as, the
requirements of part 383, and adequately assesses the driver's ability
to operate CMVs in the U.S. Since 2012, FMCSA has granted Daimler
drivers similar exemptions [May 25, 2012 (77 FR 31422); July 22, 2014
(79 FR 42626); March 27, 2015 (80 FR 16511); October 5, 2015 (80 FR
60220); July 12, 2016 (81 FR 45217); July 25, 2016 (81 FR 48496);
August 17, 2017 (82 FR 39151)].

V. Public Comments

    On April 24, 2018, FMCSA published notice of this application and
requested public comments (82 FR 17886). No comments were submitted.

VI. FMCSA Decision

    Based upon the merits of this application, including Mr. Veber's
extensive driving experience and safety record, FMCSA has concluded
that the exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved absent
such exemption, in accordance with Sec.  381.305(a).

VII. Terms and Conditions for the Exemption

    FMCSA grants Daimler and Christophe Veber an exemption from the CDL
requirement in 49 CFR 383.23 to allow Mr. Veber to drive CMVs in this
country without a U.S. State-issued CDL, subject to the following terms
and conditions: (1) The driver and carrier must comply with all other
applicable provisions of the FMCSRs (49 CFR parts 350-399); (2) the
driver must be in possession of the exemption document and a valid
German commercial license; (3) the driver must be employed by and
operate the CMV within the scope of his duties for Daimler; (4) at all
times while

operating a CMV under this exemption, the driver must be accompanied by
a holder of a U.S. CDL who is familiar with the routes traveled; (5)
Daimler must notify FMCSA in writing within 5 business days of any
accident, as defined in 49 CFR 390.5, involving this driver; and (6)
Daimler must notify FMCSA in writing if this driver is convicted of a
disqualifying offense under Sec.  383.51 or Sec.  391.15 of the FMCSRs.
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e), the exemption will
be valid for 5 years unless revoked earlier by the FMCSA. The exemption
will be revoked if: (1) Mr. Veber fails to comply with the terms and
conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption results in a lower level
of safety than was maintained before it was granted; or (3)
continuation of the exemption would be inconsistent with the goals and
objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136.

VIII. Preemption

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(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 or intrastate
commerce that conflicts with or is inconsistent with this exemption
with respect to a firm or person operating under the exemption.

     Issued on: August 30, 2018.

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Flexible
Vinyl and Urethane Coating and Printing were proposed on January 18,
1983; promulgated on June 29, 1984; and amended on October 17, 2000.
These regulations apply to facilities with rotogravure printing lines
used to either print or coat flexible vinyl or urethane products for
which construction, modification or reconstruction commenced after
January 18, 1983. This information is being collected to assure
compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart FFF.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Flexible vinyl and urethane coating
and printing facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart FFF).
    Estimated number of respondents: 42 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannual.
    Total estimated burden: 1,340 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $545,000 (per year), which includes $385,000
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The
adjustment increase in burden is due to more accurate estimates of
existing and anticipated new sources. This ICR assumes a continuous
growth rate of one new facility every three years. There is an increase
in the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs due to an increase in the
number of existing respondents from the currently approved ICR; there
is no change in capital costs.

Modify Certain Equity Transaction Fees and Rebates

March 2, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on February 27, 2009, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \2\ 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 make a number of changes to its schedule
of equity transaction fees and rebates, with effect from March 1, 2009.
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web
site (http://www.nyse.com), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary,
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 Exchange 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 these 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 aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to make a number of changes to its schedule
of equity transaction fees and rebates, with effect from March 1, 2009.
    The following are the proposed changes:
     Currently, the Exchange does not charge any fees to
customers adding liquidity to the order book. Customers who execute
orders that add liquidity (both displayed and non-displayed) will now
receive a rebate of $0.0010 per share. Transactions in stocks with a
per share price less than $1.00 will not qualify for this rebate, but
will continue to be free of charge.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See e-mail from John Carey, Chief Counsel--U.S. Equities,
NYSE Euronext, to David Liu, Assistant Director, Division of Trading
and Markets, Commission, dated March 2, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Currently floor broker orders adding liquidity to the book
receive a $0.0004 per share rebate. This rebate will increase from
$0.0004 per share to $0.0012 per share.
     Currently the fee per share for customers (except for
designated market makers (``DMMs'')) taking liquidity from the order
book is $0.0008 per share (subject to a cap of $120 per transaction).
This fee will increase from $0.0008 per share to $0.0018 per share. For
trades in stocks with a per share price less than $1.00, the fee will
equal the lesser of (i) 0.3% of the total dollar value of the
transaction and (ii) $0.0018 per share.
     The fee for market-at-close and limit-at-close orders
(except for DMMs) is currently $0.0004 per share to both sides. This
fee will increase from $0.0004 per share to $0.0005 per share (subject
to a cap of $120 per transaction). For trades in stocks with a per
share price less than $1.00, the fee will equal the lesser of (i) 0.30%
of the total dollar value of the transaction and (ii) $0.0005 per
share.
     The fee for non-electronic agency transactions of less
than 10,000 shares between floor brokers in the crowd is currently
$0.0004 per share to both sides. These transactions will now be free of
charge.
     Currently the Exchange charges a fee of $0.0004 per share
in all odd lot transactions (including the odd lot portions of partial
round lots). This fee will increase from $0.0004 per share to $0.0005
per share (subject to a cap of $120 per transaction). For trades in
stocks with a per share price less than $1.00, the fee will equal the
lesser of (i) 0.3% of the total dollar value of the transaction and
(ii) $0.0005 per share.
     DMMs currently pay no fee when taking liquidity from the
order book. Going forward, DMMs will be charged $0.0010 when taking
liquidity. This fee will offset the $0.0010 per share rebate the
Exchange will pay the customer providing liquidity on the contra side
of the transaction.
     DMMs currently receive a rebate per share of $0.0004 for
executions at the close. This rebate will be increased from $0.0004 per
share to $0.0005 per share.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 \4\ of the Act in general and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) \5\ in particular, in that it is
designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among its members and other persons using its
facilities. The Exchange believes that the proposal does not constitute
an inequitable allocation of dues, fees and other charges as it
provides the DMMs appropriate incentives to act as liquidity providers
and supports them in performing their central function in the
Exchange's market model.

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purpose of the Act.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    The foregoing proposed rule change is effective upon filing
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2)
thereunder.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.
