Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2011-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1233]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On November 29, 2011 FEMA published in the Federal Register a
proposed rule that contained an erroneous table. This document provides
corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information
published at 76 FR 73537. The table provided here represents the
flooding sources, location of referenced elevations, effective and
modified elevations, and communities affected for Sullivan County,
Pennsylvania (All Jurisdictions). Specifically, it addresses the
flooding sources Big Run, Little Loyalsock Creek, Loyalsock Creek, and
Muncy Creek.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before February 7, 2013.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-
1233, to Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal
Insurance and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management
Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER> or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER> or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) publishes proposed determinations of Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs for communities participating
in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are minimum requirements.
They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter
requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed elevations are
used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and
also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final,
and for the contents in those buildings.

Correction

    In the proposed rule published at 76 FR 73537, in the November 29,
2011, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the
authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``Sullivan County,
Pennsylvania (All Jurisdictions)'' addressed the flooding sources Big
Run, Little Loyalsock Creek, Loyalsock Creek, and Muncy Creek. That
table contained inaccurate information as to the location of referenced
elevation, effective and modified elevation in feet, and/or communities
affected for Loyalsock Creek. In this document, FEMA is publishing a
table containing the accurate information, to address these prior
errors. The information provided below should be used in lieu of that
previously published.

    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of the above-listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the
above-listed company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EST, on

an individual or on behalf of a third party and then submit. If you
submit your comments by mail or hand delivery, submit them in an
unbound format, no larger than 8\1/2\ by 11 inches, suitable for
copying and electronic filing. If you submit comments by mail and would
like to know that they reached the facility, please enclose a stamped,
self-addressed postcard or envelope. FMCSA will consider all comments
and material received during the comment period and may grant or deny
this application based on your comments.

II. Legal Basis

    FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 to grant
exemptions from certain Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs). 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 safety analyses and public comments submitted,
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 reasons for denying or granting the application
and, if granted, the name of the person or class of persons receiving
the exemption, and the regulatory provision from which the exemption is
granted. The notice must also specify the effective period (up to 5
years) and explain the terms and conditions of the exemption. The
exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)).

III. Request for Exemption

    KRD seeks an exemption for approximately 320 drivers who operate
CMVs to collect waste and recycling materials. These drivers routinely
qualify for the short-haul exception in 49 CFR 395.1(e)(1); however,
occasionally they cannot complete their duty day within 12 hours. KRD
seeks an exemption to allow its drivers to continue to qualify for the
short-haul exception up to the 14th hour after coming on duty.
    KRD states that ELDs delay and distract its drivers working to
collect waste and recycling materials because they require excessive
interaction. The exemption application states that, as a result of
frequent stops to pick up trash, its drivers are required to interact
with the ELD ``hundreds if not thousands of times a day. KRD asserts
that ELDs are not designed to accommodate operations such as theirs.
    KRD notes that certain CMV drivers already operate up to 14 hours
without forfeiting short-haul status such as those in the ready-mixed
concrete industry [49 CFR 395.1(e)(1)(ii)(B)] or the asphalt-paving
business [83 FR 3864, Jan. 26, 2018]. It asserts that KRD's operations
are similar to these industries because its drivers spend a significant
portion of their days conducting non-driving duties.

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

    KRD listed the following fatigue management programs and processes
it would implement if the exemption were granted: Observation Program;
Routeware DriveCam Video Event Recorder Program; and the KRD Fatigued
Driver Process. Details of these plans are provided in KRD's
application for exemption which is available for review in the docket
for this notice. KRD is requesting a 5-year exemption

    Issued on: May 21, 2019.

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State

supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Hazard Mitigation and Other Needs Assistance will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs. Federal funds provided under

percent of the total eligible costs, with the exception of projects
that meet the eligibility criteria for a higher Federal cost-sharing
percentage under the Public Assistance Alternative Procedures Pilot

the Stafford Act.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the
