SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective
July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and
the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) assumed,
environmental responsibilities for this
project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327.
Caltrans, as the assignee for NEPA
compliance, will prepare an EIS on a
proposal for a roadway widening project
in Riverside County, California. The
proposed project would widen Cajalco
Road from two to four lanes between
Harvill Avenue at the east end and
Temescal Canyon Road at the west end,
from four to five lanes between
Temescal Wash and Temescal Canyon
Road, and from four to six lanes
between Interstate 215 (I–215)
southbound ramps and Harvill Avenue.
The purpose of the proposed project is
to: (1) To improve the transportation
facility to address anticipated growth
and mobility needs, as identified in the
County of Riverside General Plan
Circulation Element Policy 1.5; (2)
provide improved interregional travel
by improving east-west mobility in
Riverside County; and (3) to improve
roadway alignment and intersection
design to enhance safety along Cajalco
Road. Alternatives under consideration
include: (1) Widening existing Cajalco
Road with minor alignment changes
between I–215 and Temescal Canyon
Road; (2) widening existing Cajalco
Road between I–215 and Hollis Lane
and between east of Eagle Canyon Road
and Temescal Canyon Road, along with
constructing a new segment of Cajalco
Road between Hollis Lane and east of
Eagle Canyon Road; and (3) taking no
action. The project covers a length of
approximately 16 miles. Anticipated
federal approvals for the project include
Air Quality Conformity, Section
7,Endangered Species Act, consultation
for threatened and endangered species,
and a Section 404, Clean Water Act
individual permit.

Estimated Time per Response: 18
minutes per response.
Expiration Date: September 30, 2012.
Frequency of Response: Annually and
Quarterly.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3
hours [10 responses × 18 minutes per
response/60 minutes].
Background: For-hire Class I motor
carriers of passengers (including
interstate and intrastate) 1 must file
Motor Carrier Quarterly and Annual
Reports (Form MP–1) that provide
financial and operating data (see 49
U.S.C. 14123 and implementing FMCSA
regulations in 49 CFR part 369). The
Agency uses this information to assess
the health of the industry and identify
industry changes that may affect
national transportation policy. The info
also shows company financial stability
and traffic patterns. Passengers carriers
required to comply with the regulations
are classified on the basis of their
annual gross carrier operating revenues.
Under the Financial & Operating
Statistics (F&OS) program, FMCSA
collects balance sheet and income
statement data along with information
on tonnage, mileage, employees,
transportation equipment, and other
related data.
The Agency makes the data and
information collected publicly available
as prescribed in 49 CFR part 369. In the
past, the former Interstate Commerce
Commission (ICC) issued these
regulations pursuant to the Interstate
Commerce Act, 49 U.S.C. 11145, 49
U.S.C. 11343(d)(1) and the Bus
Regulatory Act of 1982. Later, the
authority was transferred to the U.S.
Department of Transportation on
January 1, 1996, by Chapter 141 of the
ICC Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA)
(Pub. L. 104–88, 109 Stat. 803, 893 (Dec.
29, 1995)), now codified at 49 U.S.C.
14123. The Secretary of Transportation
(Secretary) transferred the authority to
administer the F&OS program to the
former Bureau of Transportation
Statistics on September 30, 1998 (63 FR
1 For purposes of the Financial & Operating
Statistics (F&OS) program, passenger carriers are
classified into two groups: (1) Class I carriers are
those having average annual gross transportation
operating revenues (including interstate and
intrastate) of $5 million or more from passenger
motor carrier operations after applying the revenue
deflator formula in the Note of section 369.3; (2)
Class II passenger carriers are those having average
annual gross transportation operating revenues
(including interstate and intrastate) of less than $5
million from passenger motor carrier operations
after applying the revenue deflator formula as
shown in Note A of section 369.3. Only Class I
carriers of passengers must file Annual and
Quarterly Report Form MP–1, but Class II passenger
carriers must notify the agency when there is a
change in their classification or their revenues
exceed the Class II limit.

BTS, now part of the Research and
Innovative Technology Administration
(RITA), became the responsible DOT
modal administration for implementing
the F&OS program and requirements in
49 CFR part 1420. On September 29,
2004, the Secretary transferred the
responsibility for the F&OS program
from BTS to FMCSA (69 FR 51009). On
August 10, 2006 (71 FR 45740), the
Secretary published a final rule that
transferred and redesignated the motor
carrier financial and statistical reporting
regulations of BTS formerly located in
chapter XI of title 49 CFR to FMCSA,
See 49 CFR part 369.
Public Comments Invited: FMCSA
requests comments on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for FMCSA to perform its
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.

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption
Applications; Vision
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of final disposition.
AGENCY:

FMCSA announces its
decision to exempt 12 individuals from
the vision requirement in the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs). They are unable to meet the
vision requirement in one eye for
various reasons. The exemptions will
enable these individuals to operate
commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in
interstate commerce without meeting
the prescribed vision requirement in
one eye. The Agency has concluded that
granting these exemptions will provide
a level of safety that is equivalent to or
greater than the level of safety
maintained without the exemptions for
these CMV drivers.
