Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket Nos FMCSA-99-5748, FMCSA-99-6156, FMCSA-01-10578, FMCSA-05-
22194]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Renewals; Vision

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

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA previously announced its decision to renew the
exemptions from the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations for 12 individuals. FMCSA has statutory authority to
exempt individuals from the vision requirement if the exemptions
granted will not compromise safety. The Agency has reviewed the
comments submitted in response to the previous announcement and
concluded that granting these exemptions will provide a level of safety
that will be equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety
maintained without the exemptions for these commercial motor vehicle
(CMV) drivers.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Mary D. Gunnels, Director, Medical
Programs,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA, Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Room W64-224, Washington,
DC 20590-0001. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday
through Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Electronic Access

    You may see all the comments online through the Federal Document
Management System (FDMS) at http://www.regulations.gov.

Background

    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 statutes also allow the
Agency to renew exemptions at the end of the 2-year period. The Notice
was published on December 19, 2007. The comment period ended on January
18, 2008.

Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received one comment in this proceeding. The comment is
considered and discussed below.
    Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety (Advocates) expressed
opposition to FMCSA's policy to grant exemptions from the FMCSR,
including the driver qualification standards. Specifically, Advocates:
(1) Objects to the manner in which FMCSA presents driver information to
the public and makes safety determinations; (2) objects to the Agency's
reliance on conclusions drawn from the vision waiver program; (3)
claims the Agency has misinterpreted statutory language on the granting
of exemptions (49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315); and finally (4) suggests
that a 1999 Supreme Court decision affects the legal validity of vision
exemptions.
    The issues raised by Advocates were addressed at length in 64 FR
51568 (September 23, 1999), 64 FR 66962 (November 30, 1999), 64 FR
69586 (December 13, 1999), 65 FR 159 (January 3, 2000), 65 FR 57230
(September 21, 2000), and 66 FR 13825 (March 7, 2001). We will not
address these points again here, but refer interested parties to those
earlier discussions.

Conclusion

    The Agency has not received any adverse evidence on any of these
drivers that indicates that safety is being compromised. Based upon its
evaluation of the 12 renewal applications, FMCSA renews the Federal
vision exemptions for, Woodrow E. Bohley, Kenneth E. Bross, Russell W.
Foster, Kevin Jacoby, Richard L. Loeffelholz, Herman C. Mash, Frank T.
Miller, Martin Postma, Robert G. Rascicot, Stephen G. Sniffin, Jon H.
Wurtele, and Walter M. Yohn, Jr.
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each renewal
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.

    Issued on: February 11, 2008.
Larry W. Minor,
Associate Administrator for Policy and Program Development.

    Title: Pesticide Registration Fees Program.
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2330.01, OMB Control No. 2070-new.
    ICR Status: This is a new ICR that combines two currently approved
ICRs. 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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are displayed either by publication in the
Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related
collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB
control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9.
    Abstract: This ICR covers the paperwork burden hours and costs
associated with the information collection activities under the
pesticide registration fee programs. Pesticide registrants are required
by statute to pay an annual registration maintenance fee for all
products registered under Section 3 and Section 24(c) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). In addition, the
Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA) amended FIFRA in 2004 to
create a registration service fee system for applications for specific
pesticide registration, amended registration, and associated tolerance
actions (FIFRA Section 33). This ICR specifically covers the activities
related to both the collection of the pesticide registration fees and
the submission and processing requests for the fees to be waived.
    PRIA authorizes EPA to process requests for waivers of registration
application fees. The ICR covers the collection activities associated
with requesting a fee waiver and involves requesters submitting a
waiver request, information to demonstrate eligibility for the waiver,
and certification of eligibility. Waivers are available for small
businesses, for minor uses, and for actions solely associated with the
Inter-Regional Project Number 4 (IR-4). State and Federal agencies are
exempt from the payment of fees.
    FIFRA requires EPA to collect annual pesticide product registration
maintenance fees from pesticides registrants. Respondents complete and
submit EPA Form 8570-30 indicating the respondent's liability for the
registration maintenance fee. Annually the Agency provides registrants
with a list of their products currently registered with the Agency.
Registrants are provided the opportunity to review the list, determine
its accuracy, and remit payment of maintenance fee. The list of
products has space identified for making those products to be supported
and those products that are to be cancelled. The registrants are also
instructed to identify any products on the list which they believe to
be transferred to another company, and to add to the list any products
which the company believes to be registered that are not the Agency-
provided list. The failure to pay the required fee for a product will
result in cancellation of that product's registration.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting burden for this
collection of information is estimated to average 3.6 hours per
response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Persons engaged in activities
related to the registration of pesticide products are identified by
NAICS codes 32532 (Pesticide and other Agricultural Chemical
Manufacturing), 9641 (Regulation of Agricultural Marketing and
Commodities), 32518 (Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing), and
32519 (Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,013.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion or annually, as applicable.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 7,262 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $465,635, that includes $2,930 in
Operations and Maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: This is a new ICR, so there are no
changes from a previous version. However, this ICR combines two
existing ICRs (OMB Control No. 2070-0167 and 2070-0100) with approved
burden currently in the OMB Inventory. The burden currently identified
in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens for the Pesticide Product
Maintenance Fee ICR is the same, and there is a decrease in burden for
the Pesticide Registration Fee Waivers ICR. The decrease is based on
the shift in the distribution of responses to least burdensome-type,
resulting in the lower total estimated burden.
