Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision

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

ACTION: Notice of renewal of exemptions; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to renew the exemptions from the
vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for
15 individuals. FMCSA has statutory authority to exempt individuals
from the vision requirement if the exemptions granted will not
compromise safety. The Agency has concluded that granting these
exemption renewals will provide a level of safety that is equivalent to
or greater than the level of safety maintained without the exemptions
for these commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may renew an exemption
from the vision requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce, for a two-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 procedures for requesting an
exemption (including renewals) are set out in 49 CFR part 381.

Exemption Decision

    This notice addresses 15 individuals who have requested renewal of
their exemptions in accordance with FMCSA procedures. FMCSA has
evaluated these 15 applications for renewal on their merits and decided
to extend each exemption for a renewable two-year period. They are:

Domenic J. Carassai (NJ)
Bruce E. Hemmer (WI)
Christopher G. Jarvela (MI)
Brad L. Mathna (PA)
Warren J. Nyland (MI)
Greg L. Riles (IA)
Wesley E. Turner (TX)
Paul S. Yocum (IN)
Fred W. Duran (MS)
Steven P. Holden (MD)
Donald L. Jensen (SD)
Vincent P. Miller (CA)
Dennis M. Prevas (WI)
Calvin D. Tomlinson (KY)
Mona J. Van Krieken (OR)

    The exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) That each individual has a physical examination every year (a) by
an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10),
and (b) by a medical examiner who attests that the individual is
otherwise physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) that each
individual provides a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's
report to the medical examiner at the time of the annual medical
examination; and (3) that each individual provide a copy of the annual
medical certification to the employer for retention in the driver's
qualification file and retains a copy of the certification on his/her
person while driving for presentation to a duly authorized Federal,
State, or local enforcement official. Each exemption will be valid for
two years unless rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be
rescinded 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(e) and 31315.

Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than two years from its approval date and may be renewed upon
application for additional two year periods. In accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each of the 15 applicants has satisfied the
entry conditions for obtaining an exemption from the vision
requirements (66 FR 17743; 66 FR 30502; 66 FR 66 33990; 66 FR 41654; 68
FR 35772; 68 FR 37197; 68 FR 44837; 68 FR 48989; 70 FR 33937; 70 FR
41811; 70 FR 42615; 72 FR 40360; 74 FR 34362; 76 FR 49531). Each of
these 15 applicants has requested renewal of the exemption and has
submitted evidence showing that the vision in the better eye continues
to meet the requirement specified at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) and that the
vision impairment is stable. In addition, a review of each record of
safety while driving with the respective vision deficiencies over the
past two years indicates each applicant continues to meet the vision
exemption requirements. These factors provide an adequate basis for
predicting each driver's ability to continue to drive safely in
interstate commerce. Therefore, FMCSA concludes that extending the
exemption for each renewal applicant for a period of two years is
likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing without the
exemption.

Request for Comments

    FMCSA will review comments received at any time concerning a
particular driver's safety record and determine if the continuation of
the exemption is consistent with the requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315. However, FMCSA requests that interested parties with
specific data concerning the safety records of these drivers submit
comments by November 22, 2013.
    FMCSA believes that the requirements for a renewal of an exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 can be satisfied by initially
granting the renewal and then requesting and evaluating, if needed,
subsequent comments submitted by interested parties. As indicated
above, the Agency previously published notices of final disposition
announcing its decision to exempt these 15 individuals from the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The final decision to grant an
exemption to each of these individuals was made on the merits of each
case and made only after careful consideration of the comments received
to its notices of applications. The notices of applications stated in
detail the qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each
applicant for an exemption from the vision requirements. That
information is available by consulting the above cited Federal Register
publications.
    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Executive Summary

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document provides the receipt and status reports for the
period from 03/01/2022 to 03/31/2022. The Agency is providing notice of
receipt of PMNs, SNUNs, and MCANs (including amended notices and test
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (Biotech
exemption); TMEs, both pending and/or concluded; NOCs to manufacture a
new chemical substance; and a periodic status report on new chemical
substances that are currently under EPA review or have recently
concluded review.
    EPA is also providing information on its website about cases
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN
and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a
weekly basis.

B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et
seq., a chemical substance may be either an ``existing'' chemical
substance or a ``new'' chemical substance. Any chemical substance that
is not on EPA's TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances (TSCA Inventory)
is classified as a ``new chemical substance,'' while a chemical
substance that is listed on the TSCA Inventory is classified as an
``existing chemical substance.'' (See TSCA section 3(11).) For more
information about the TSCA Inventory please go to: https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.
    Any person who intends to manufacture (including import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose, or to
manufacture or process a chemical substance in a non-exempt manner for
a use that EPA has determined is a significant new use, is required by
TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN, or SNUN, as
appropriate, before initiating the activity. EPA will review the
notice, make a risk determination on the chemical substance or
significant new use, and take appropriate action as described in TSCA
section 5(a)(3).
    TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon
application and under appropriate restrictions, to manufacture or
process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance subject to a
significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section 5(a)(2), for
``test marketing'' purposes, upon a showing that the manufacture,
processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the chemical
will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment. This is referred to as a test marketing exemption, or TME.
For more information about the requirements applicable to a new
chemical go to: https://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
    Under TSCA sections 5 and 8 and EPA regulations, EPA is required to
publish in the Federal Register certain information, including notice
of receipt of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including amended notices and test
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (biotech
exemption); an application for a TME, both pending and concluded; NOCs
to manufacture a new chemical substance; and a periodic status report
on the new chemical substances that are currently under EPA review or
have recently concluded review.

C. Does this action apply to me?

    This action provides information that is directed to the public in
general.

D. Does this action have any incremental economic impacts or paperwork
burdens?

    No.

E. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting confidential business information (CBI). Do not
submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or email.
Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be
CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark
the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify
electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment
that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that
does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for
inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part
2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. Status Reports

    In the past, EPA has published individual notices reflecting the
status of TSCA section 5 filings received, pending or concluded. In
1995, the Agency modified its approach and streamlined the information
published in the Federal Register after providing notice of such
changes to the public and an opportunity to comment (See the Federal
Register of May 12, 1995, (60 FR 25798) (FRL-4942-7). Since the passage
of the Lautenberg amendments to TSCA in 2016, public interest in
information on the status of section 5 cases under EPA review and, in
particular, the final determination of such cases, has increased. In an
effort to be responsive to the regulated community, the users of this
information, and the general public, to comply with the requirements of
TSCA, to conserve EPA resources and to streamline the process and make
it more timely, EPA is providing information on its website about cases
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN
and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a
weekly basis.

III. Receipt Reports

    For the PMN/SNUN/MCANs that have passed an initial screening by EPA
during this period, Table I provides the following information (to the
extent that such information is not subject to a CBI claim) on the
notices screened by EPA during this period: The EPA case number
assigned to the notice that indicates whether the submission is an
initial submission, or an amendment, a notation of which version was
received, the date the notice was received by EPA, the submitting
manufacturer (i.e., domestic producer or importer), the

potential uses identified by the manufacturer in the notice, and the
chemical substance identity.
    As used in each of the tables in this unit, (S) indicates that the
information in the table is the specific information provided by the
submitter, and (G) indicates that this information in the table is
generic information because the specific information provided by the
submitter was claimed as CBI. Submissions which are initial submissions
will not have a letter following the case number. Submissions which are
amendments to previous submissions will have a case number followed by
the letter ``A'' (e.g. P-18-1234A). The version column designates
submissions in sequence as ``1'', ``2'', ``3'', etc. Note that in some
cases, an initial submission is not numbered as version 1; this is
because earlier version(s) were rejected as incomplete or invalid
submissions. Note also that future versions of the following tables may
adjust slightly as the Agency works to automate population of the data
in the tables.

I. Proposed Action

    On October 24, 2019 (84 FR 56961), the EPA proposed to approve the
following rules into the California SIP.

                        Table 1--Submitted Rules

                         Source Review.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Collectively, these submitted rules establish the NSR requirements
for minor stationary sources under the SBAPCD's jurisdiction in
California. We proposed to approve these rules because we determined
they complied with the relevant CAA requirements. Our proposed action
contains more information on the submitted rules and our evaluation.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
We received two comments during this public comment period. Both
comments were supportive of the proposed action, and expressed support
for further measures to protect air and water quality. The EPA
acknowledges the comments and the support expressed by the commenters.

III. EPA Action

    No comments were submitted that change our assessment of the rules
as described in our proposed action. Therefore, as authorized in
section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is approving these rules into the
California SIP as proposed.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Santa
Barbara County Air Pollution Control District rules described in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. The EPA has made, and
will continue to make, these documents available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region IX Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would

be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by May 26, 2020. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,

Rule Change To Amend Its Fees Schedule Relating to the Marketing Fee

July 6, 2011.
    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 June 29, 2011, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (the
``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Exchange has designated this proposal as one establishing
or changing a due, fee, or other charge imposed by CBOE under Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\4\
which renders the proposal effective upon filing with the Commission.
The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

    CBOE proposes to amend its Marketing Fee Program to extend for an
additional three months a pilot program it implemented on December 1,
2010,\5\ and extended on April 1, 2011,\6\ relating to the assessment
of the marketing fee in the SPY option class. The text of the proposed
rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.org/legal), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary and at
the Commission.

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

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 self-regulatory organization
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 those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    CBOE proposes to amend its Marketing Fee Program to extend for an
additional three months a pilot program it implemented on December 1,
2010,\7\ and extended on April 1, 2011,\8\ relating to the assessment
of the marketing fee in the SPY option class. Specifically, CBOE
previously determined not to assess the marketing fee on electronic
transactions in SPY options, except that it would continue to assess
the marketing fee on electronic transactions resulting from its
Automated Improvement Mechanism (``AIM'') pursuant to CBOE Rule 6.74A
and

transactions in open outcry. This pilot program is scheduled to
terminate on June 30, 2011, and CBOE now proposes to extend it until
September 30, 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Note 5.
    \8\ See Note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As CBOE stated in its rule filing establishing this three month
pilot program, this proposed change is intended to attract more
customer volume to the Exchange in this option class and to allow CBOE
market-makers to better compete for order flow. CBOE noted that the SPY
option class is unique in the manner in which it trades and is one of
the most active option classes. CBOE also noted that DPMs and Preferred
Market-Makers can utilize the marketing fee funds to attract orders
from payment accepting firms that are executed in AIM and in open
outcry. Finally, CBOE noted that it believes that the marketing fee
funds received by payment accepting firms may be used to offset
transaction and other costs related to the execution of an order in AIM
and in open outcry, including in the SPY option class.
    For the reasons noted above, CBOE believes that it would make sense
to extend the pilot program until September 30, 2011. CBOE believes
that it is beneficial to continue to assess the fee on the limited
bases as proposed and will continue to enable CBOE to compete for order
flow in the SPY option class. However, because the SPY option class is
unique in the manner in which it trades and is one of the most active
option classes, CBOE would like to continue to evaluate for an
additional three months the effect of not assessing the fee on all
electronic transactions in the SPY option class, except for
transactions resulting from AIM and in open outcry.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Act,\9\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of
the Act,\10\ in particular, in that it is designed to provide for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among
Trading Permit Holders in that it is intended to attract more customer
volume on the Exchange in SPY options. The SPY option class is one of
the most active and liquid classes and trades with a significant
electronic trading volume. Because of its current trading profile, CBOE
believes it might be better able to attract electronic liquidity by not
assessing the marketing fee on electronic SPY transactions and
therefore proposes to extend the current waiver. However, CBOE believes
that continuing to collect the marketing fee on open outcry
transactions, as well as electronic orders submitted to AIM for price
improvement, from market makers that trade with customer orders from
payment accepting firms would continue to attract liquidity in SPY to
the floor and AIM mechanism, respectively. Accordingly, CBOE believes
continuing the waiver is equitable because it reflects the trading
profile of SPY and is designed and intended to attract additional order
flow in SPY to the Exchange, which would benefit all trading permit
holders.

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition 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 proposed rule change is designated by the Exchange as
establishing or changing a due, fee, or other charge, thereby
qualifying for effectiveness on filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act \11\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 \12\ thereunder.
At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change,
the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend 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.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

New Study Finds Increased Use of Advanced High-Strength Steels Helps Decrease Overall Vehicle Weight

DETROIT, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- In a study released today by the Automotive Applications Council of AISI's Steel Market Development Institute (SMDI), researchers with Ducker Worldwide estimated that the use of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) in 2009 model year light vehicles increased by more than four percent of total body weight from 2007, while the average weight per vehicle decreased by 163 pounds.
"Advanced high-strength steels provide numerous benefits to automakers, including the ability to reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel economy," said David Anderson, director of the Automotive Applications Council. "This study supports the continued use of AHSS in light vehicles, as the material offers affordable solutions to lightweighting, while maintaining passenger safety, vehicle durability and performance requirements."
While more than half of the vehicles produced worldwide contain some amount of AHSS, the new BMW X6 leads the way with 32 percent of its body structure and closures manufactured from AHSS. Other new models with above-average AHSS body content include the new Chevrolet Traverse, Ford F-150 and Chrysler Town and Country.
"As fuel economy standards continue to rise, more automakers will look for ways to incorporate new steel material and process technologies into future automobile designs," Anderson added.
The study predicts a 10 percent growth rate per year in the use of AHSS through 2020 as automakers strive to meet the 35 miles-per-gallon fuel economy standard. Ducker researchers estimate that approximately 650 pounds of mild steel, high-strength steel and iron will have to be replaced with 350 pounds of dual-phase, martensitic, boron and other AHSS, as well as minimal amounts of aluminum, magnesium, polymers and composites to meet the new goal.
According to the study, weight reduction will account for at least 25 percent of the necessary improvement in fuel economy, with advances in powertrain and other technologies - such as drag reduction, low-roll resistance tires and a 42-volt electrical system - making up the difference.
The Automotive Applications Council is a part of AISI's Steel Market Development Institute. The council focuses on advancing the use of steel in the highly competitive automotive market. For more news or information, visit www.autosteel.org.
