    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 August 8, 2007, the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or

II below, which Items have been substantially prepared by the Exchange.
Amex has designated the proposed rule change as constituting a ``non-
controversial'' rule change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4,\3\
which renders the proposal effective upon receipt of this filing by the
Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rules 1000-AEMI, 1000A-AEMI, 1200-
AEMI, 1200A-AEMI, 1200B-AEMI, 1500-AEMI, and Rule 1400 to eliminate the
prohibition on the entering of certain limit orders in Exchange Traded
Fund Shares and other equity derivative products into the Exchange's
trading systems.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Amex, the
Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.amex.com.

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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    In August 2001, the Exchange adopted rules restricting the entry of
certain limit orders in Portfolio Depositary Receipts, Index Fund
Shares, and Trust Issued Receipts. Subsequently, the Exchange adopted
the same rules for trading in Commodity-Based Trust Shares, Currency
Trust Shares, Paired Trust Shares, and Partnership Units when those
products began trading on the Exchange. All of these products will be
collectively referred to herein as ``Exchange Traded Fund Shares'' or
``ETFs.'' Specifically, the rules provide that members, acting as
either principal or agent, may not permit the entry of orders into the
Exchange's electronic order routing system if the orders are limit
orders for the account or accounts of the same or related beneficial
owners and the limit orders are entered in such a manner that the
member or the beneficial owner(s) effectively is operating as a market
maker by holding itself out as willing to buy and sell such securities
on a regular or continuous basis.
    The Exchange adopted these rules because its business model at that
time depended upon specialists and registered traders for competition
and liquidity. To encourage participation by specialists and registered
traders, the Exchange determined to limit the ability of non-
specialists/registered traders to compete on equal terms within its
automated systems. The Exchange determined that certain actions--
simultaneous entry of limit orders to buy or sell the same ETF,
multiple acquisition and liquidation of positions in the same ETF, and
the entry of multiple orders at different prices in the same ETF--were
tantamount to operating as a market maker and gave such members an
advantage over the specialist who was required to yield priority to
their orders. The adoption of these rules by the Exchange did not,
however, confer market maker status on such members for any purpose
under the Act or otherwise.
    Since that time, trading in ETFs has changed considerably. Most
recently, the implementation of the AEMI trading system and the
introduction of Regulation NMS have changed the Exchange's view of
these restrictions and the need to encourage order flow from all types
of liquidity providers, particularly member firms trading for their own
proprietary accounts. ETF specialists and registered traders now have
the ability to stream quotations into the AEMI system using their own
proprietary quoting systems in a manner that allows them to compete
effectively with orders from members' proprietary accounts. In
addition, specialists and registered traders have the ability to be on
parity with these orders from members. Thus, the Exchange is proposing
to amend its rules to eliminate the prohibition on limit orders from
members operating as market makers. Management believes the removal of
these restrictions will provide a level playing field for all market
participants on parity and should enhance access to the Exchange
providing additional liquidity in our ETFs.
    The prohibition, however, will continue to apply to customer agency
orders since those orders continue to have priority over specialists
and registered traders. The rule prevents certain customers from
obtaining an unfair advantage by acting as unregistered specialists and
traders while having priority over the specialists and registered
traders by virtue of their customer status. Permitting customers to
enter multiple limit orders to such an extent that they are effectively
acting as market makers in a secuirty, while at the same time giving
them priority over all other orders on the book, gives such customers
an inordinate advantage over other market participants.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\4\ which requires, among other things, that
the rules of an exchange be designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

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 foregoing rule change has become effective immediately pursuant
to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \5\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder \6\ because it does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; or (iii) become operative for 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.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \6\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \7\ Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory
organization submit to the Commission written notice of its intent
to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and
text of the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior
to the date of filing of the proposed rule change, or such shorter
time as designated by the Commission. Amex has satisfied the five-
day pre-filing notice requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 19b-4(f)(6) provides that the proposal may not become
operative for 30 days after the date of its filing, or such shorter
time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest. The Commission hereby waives the
30 day pre-operative period.\8\ In an order approving a proposed rule
change by the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Commission recognized
that an exchange may permit members to submit orders on both sides of
the market on a regular or continuous basis, even if such members are
not registered as market makers.\9\ Therefore, the Commission believes
that it is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest to waive the 30-day operative period so that the proposal may
become operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 38054 (December 16,
1996), 61 FR 67365, 67370 (December 20, 1996).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-730, Report of Transmission Investment Activity.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0239.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-730 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting
requirements.
    Abstract: This collection of information assists the Commission in
implementing section 219 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) \1\ and 18 CFR
35.35(h), which address incentive-based rate treatments for
transmission infrastructure investment. FERC-730

consists of an annual report that includes projections, details on the
level and status of transmission investment, and the reason for delay
(if any).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 16 U.S.C. 824s.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The regulation at 18 CFR 35.35(h) requires public utilities that
have been granted incentive rate treatment for specific transmission
projects to file FERC Form 730 annually, beginning with the calendar
year incentive rate treatment is granted by the Commission. Such
filings are due by April 18 of the following calendar year and are due
April 18 each year thereafter. The following information must be filed:
    (1) In dollar terms, actual transmission investment for the most
recent calendar year, and projected, incremental investments for the
next five calendar years; and
    (2) For all current and projected investments (except projects with
projected costs less than $20 million) over the next five calendar
years, a project-by-project listing that specifies for each project the
most up-to-date, expected completion date, percentage completion as of
the date of filing, and reasons for delays.
    For good cause shown, the Commission may extend the time within
which any FERC-730 filing is to be filed or waive the requirements
applicable to any such filing.
    The Commission uses the FERC-730 information collection to
determine an accurate assessment of the state of transmission
investment by public utilities. Filers are strongly encouraged to
submit the FERC-730 electronically via eFiling.
    Type of Respondents: Public utilities that have been granted
incentive based rate treatment for specific transmission projects under
provisions of 18 CFR 35.35.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \2\ The Commission estimates 63
responses annually, and per-response burdens of 30 hours and $2,370.
The total estimated burdens per year are 1,890 hours and $171,990.
These burdens are itemized in the following table.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. For

    Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Airworthiness Directives; British Aerospace Model HS 748
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    Resulting from the assessment of fuel tank wiring installations
required by SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation Regulation) and
equivalent JAA/EASA (Joint Aviation Authorities/European Aviation
Safety Agency) policy, BAE Systems (Operations) Limited has revised
the HS.748 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM), now at Revision 19, to
introduce Chapter 05-10-00 ``Critical Design Configuration Control
Limitations (CDCCL)--Fuel System''. The CDCCLs provide instructions
to retain critical ignition source prevention features during
configuration changes that may be caused by modification, repair or
maintenance actions.
    The CDCCLs have been identified as requirements for continued
airworthiness to address the risk of fuel vapour ignition sources
remaining undetected. This condition, if not corrected, could result
in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the aircraft.
* * * * *
This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe
condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: This AD becomes effective June 12, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication, listed in the AD as of June 12,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2008-0125, dated July 2, 2008 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Resulting from the assessment of fuel tank wiring installations
required by SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation Regulation) and
equivalent JAA/EASA (Joint Aviation Authorities/European Aviation
Safety Agency) policy, BAE Systems (Operations) Limited has revised
the HS.748 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM), now at Revision 19, to
introduce Chapter 05-10-00 ``Critical Design Configuration Control
Limitations (CDCCL)--Fuel System''. The CDCCLs provide instructions
to retain critical ignition source prevention features during
configuration changes that may be caused by modification, repair or
maintenance actions.
    The CDCCLs have been identified as requirements for continued
airworthiness to address the risk of fuel vapour ignition sources
remaining undetected. This condition, if not corrected, could result
in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the aircraft.

* * * * *
The required action is revising the maintenance program to include the
CDCCL data. CDCCLs are limitation requirements to preserve a critical
ignition source prevention feature of the fuel tank system design that
is necessary to prevent the occurrence of an unsafe condition. The
purpose of a CDCCL is to provide instruction to retain the critical
ignition source prevention feature during configuration change that may
be caused by alterations, repairs, or maintenance actions. A CDCCL is
not a periodic inspection.
    The FAA has examined the underlying safety issues involved in fuel
tank explosions on several large transport airplanes, including the
adequacy of existing regulations, the service history of airplanes
subject to those regulations, and existing maintenance practices for
fuel tank systems. As a result of those findings, we issued a
regulation titled ``Transport Airplane Fuel Tank System Design Review,
Flammability Reduction and Maintenance and Inspection Requirements''
(66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001). In addition to new airworthiness standards
for transport airplanes and new maintenance requirements, this rule
included Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88 (``SFAR 88,''
Amendment 21-78, and subsequent Amendments 21-82 and 21-83).
    Among other actions, SFAR 88 requires certain type design (i.e.,
type certificate (TC) and supplemental type certificate (STC)) holders
to substantiate that their fuel tank systems can prevent ignition
sources in the fuel tanks. This requirement applies to type design
holders for large turbine-powered transport airplanes and for
subsequent modifications to those airplanes. It requires them to
perform design reviews and to develop design changes and maintenance
procedures if their designs do not meet the new fuel tank safety
standards. As explained in the preamble to the rule, we intended to
adopt airworthiness directives to mandate any changes found necessary
to address unsafe conditions identified as a result of these reviews.
    In evaluating these design reviews, we have established four
criteria intended to define the unsafe conditions associated with fuel
tank systems that require corrective actions. The percentage of
operating time during which fuel tanks are exposed to flammable
conditions is one of these criteria. The other three criteria address
the failure types under evaluation: single failures, single failures in
combination with a latent condition(s), and in-service failure
experience. For all four criteria, the evaluations included
consideration of previous actions taken that may mitigate the need for
further action.
    The Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) has issued a regulation that
is similar to SFAR 88. (The JAA is an associated body of the European
Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) representing the civil aviation
regulatory authorities of a number of European States who have agreed
to co-operate in developing and implementing common safety regulatory
standards and procedures.) Under this regulation, the JAA stated that
all members of the ECAC that hold type certificates for transport
category airplanes are required to conduct a design review against
explosion risks.
    We have determined that the actions identified in this AD are
necessary to reduce the potential of ignition sources inside fuel
tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result
in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    BAE Systems (Operations) Limited has issued Subsection 05-10-00,
``Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL)--Fuel
System,'' of HS 748 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM), Revision 19,
dated January 15, 2008. The actions described in the CDCCL are intended
to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
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.
    There are no products of this type currently registered in the
United States. However, this rule is necessary to ensure that the
described unsafe condition is addressed if any of these products are
placed on the U.S. Register in the future.

Differences Between the AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    Since there are currently no domestic operators of this product,
notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are
unnecessary.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2009-0478; Directorate
Identifier 2008-NM-133-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each

substantive verbal contact we receive about this AD.

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.
    We are 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

    We 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 this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 28: Fuel.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continued airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    Resulting from the assessment of fuel tank wiring installations
required by SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation Regulation) and
equivalent JAA/EASA (Joint Aviation Authorities/European Aviation
Safety Agency) policy, BAE Systems (Operations) Limited has revised
the HS.748 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM), now at Revision 19, to

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2020-0204]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Renewal of a Currently
Approved Information Collection Request: Generic Clearance of Customer
Satisfaction Surveys

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 review
and approval. The Executive Order, ``Setting Customer Service
Standards,'' directs Federal agencies to provide service to the public
that matches or exceeds the best service available in the private
sector. These principles were reaffirmed in the Executive Order,
``Streamlining Service Delivery and Improving Customer Service.'' In
order to work continuously to ensure that our programs are effective
and meet our customers' needs, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA) seeks to obtain OMB approval of a currently
approved generic clearance to continue collecting feedback on our
service delivery. By feedback we mean information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions but are not statistical surveys
that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the
population of study.

DATES: Please send your comments by June 7, 2021. OMB must receive your
comments by this date in order to act quickly on the ICR.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Roxane Oliver, Management Analyst,
Office of Analysis/MC-RAA, Department of Transportation, Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration, 6th Floor, West Building, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590-0001. Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>;
Email Address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Office hours are from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. E.T., Monday through Friday, except Federal Holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Generic Clearance of Customer Satisfaction Surveys.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0061.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved information
collection.
    Respondents: State and local agencies, general public and
stakeholders; original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and suppliers to
the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) industry; fleets, owner-operators,
state CMV safety agencies, research organizations and contractors; news
organizations and safety advocacy groups.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,900 [5,000 customer satisfaction
survey respondents + 100 listening sessions/stakeholder feedback forums
respondents + 300 focus group respondents + 500 strategic planning
customer satisfaction survey respondents].
    Estimated Time per Response: Range from 10 to 120 minutes.
    Expiration Date: August 31, 2021.
    Frequency of Response: Generally, on an annual basis.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,758 hours [833 hours for customer
satisfaction surveys + 200 hours for listening sessions/stakeholder
feedback forums + 600 hours for focus groups + 125 hours for strategic
planning customer satisfaction surveys].

Background

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FMCSA
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew a previously approved
information collection. Executive Order 12862 Setting Customer Service
Standards, and most recently updated in Executive Order 13571, requires
the Federal Government to provide the ``highest quality service
possible to the American people.'' Under the order, the ``standard of
quality for services provided to the public shall be: Customer service
equal to the best in business.'' In order to work continuously to
ensure that our programs are effective and meet our customers' needs,
FMCSA seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to collect
qualitative feedback from our customers on our service delivery. The
surveys covered in this generic clearance will provide a means for
FMCSA to collect this data directly from our customers. By qualitative
feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on
perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of
study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of
issues with service, or focus attention on areas of communication,
training or changes in operations that might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing,
collaborative and actionable communications between the Agency and its
customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program management. The solicitation of
feedback will target areas such as: Timeliness, appropriateness,
accuracy of information, courtesy, efficiency of service delivery, and
resolution of issues with service delivery. Responses will be assessed
to plan and inform efforts to improve or maintain the quality of
service offered to the public. If this information is not collected,
vital feedback from customers and stakeholders on the Agency's services
will be unavailable. The Agency will submit a collection for approval
under this generic clearance only if it meets the following conditions:
That such collections are:
     Voluntary;
     low-burden for respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of respondents, or burden- hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both the respondents and the Federal
Government;
     noncontroversial and do not raise issues of concern to
other Federal agencies;
     targeted to the solicitation of opinions from respondents
who have experience with the program or may have experience with the
program in the near future;
     only collecting personally identifiable information (PII)
to the extent necessary and not retaining it;  only collecting
information intended to be used only internally for general service
improvement and program management, and any release outside the agency
must indicate the qualitative nature of the information;
     not to be used for the purpose of substantially informing
influential policy decisions; and

     intended to yield only qualitative information; the
collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistically
reliable results or used as though the results are generalized to the
population of study.
    This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not
be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to
yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time
or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more
rigorous designs that address: The target population to which
generalizations will be made; the sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements
or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size; and the
expected response rate, methods for assessing potential nonresponse
bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding the study. Depending
on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such
collections may still be eligible for submission for other mechanisms
that are designed to yield quantitative results. As a general matter,
information collections will not result in any new system of records
containing privacy information and will not ask questions of a
sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious
beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private.
    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 performance of FMCSA's functions; (2)
the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for 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 delegated in 49 CFR 1.87.

Associate Administrator, Office of Research and Registration.
