mitigate radioactive levels at the site
through the use of soil cover or caps of
various materials.
• If it becomes necessary through the
proposed use of the phosphate slag
storage area for subsurface infrastructure
enhancements (e.g., buried pipeline),
TVA would conduct further radiological
measurement and monitoring to
determine a worker’s potential exposure
to ensure safety.
• No subsurface disturbance or other
excavation of buried materials would be
allowed within the low-level radioactive
waste burial site.
• TVA would not allow removal of
groundwater for drinking water (i.e.,
potable use purposes) from anywhere on
the MSR study area.
• TVA would adhere to the
stipulations in the final executed
Memorandum of Agreement between
TVA and the Alabama State Historic
Preservation Officer to mitigate for the
loss of properties eligible for inclusion
in the National Register of Historic
Places. Such mitigation includes
imposition of architectural controls and
design guidelines on new owners and
consideration of these properties in the
comprehensive master plan. TVA would
adhere to required measures through
inclusion of requirements in the transfer
deed.
• Site 1CT495, the remnants of
Wilson Power Plant foundations, shall
be avoided during any construction in
the utility corridor to the Tennessee
River.
• In the event of construction within
the utility corridor, TVA would take
into account the location of the Rockpile
Hiking Trail and the paved trail
complex on the north side of
Reservation Road and, to the extent
practicable, avoid trail closure or reduce
effects of trail usage through planning or
other design features.
• An approximate 900-foot section of
paved National Recreation Trail
Complex, including a protective
corridor, on the Multipurpose Building
parcel would be (a) retained by TVA, (b)
preserved and managed for public
recreation use under an agreement (e.g.,
easement) between TVA and a new
landowner, or (c) relocated to skirt the
boundaries of the Multipurpose
Building parcel.
• Prior to any TVA land or buildings
being transferred from federal
ownership under any of the Action
Alternatives, TVA would assure that
any required environmental due
diligence assessments are completed.
The final EIS identified routine and
nonroutine measures to which future
landowners could implement
voluntarily or be required by agencies to

comply with other federal, state, or local
regulations. These measures along with
the above mitigation measures would be
taken into consideration in the
development of the comprehensive
master plan, which would be completed
and finalized by the Northwest Alabama
Cooperative District and TVA prior to
the sale of the MSR property.

below and should identify the
associated OMB Approval Number
2106–0035 and Docket DOT–OST–
2013–0074.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval No. 2106–0035.
Title: Foreign Air Carrier Application
for Statement of Authorization.
Form No.: Form OST 4540.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Foreign Air Carriers.
Number of Respondents:
Approximately 100.
Estimated Time per Response: 2.25
hours per application.
Total Annual Burden: 1,000 hours.
Abstract: Applicants use Form OST
4540 to request statements of
authorization to conduct numerous
types of operations authorized under
Title 14, CFR Part 212. The form
requires basic information regarding the
carrier(s) conducting the operation, the
party filing the form, the operations
being conducted, the number of thirdand fourth-freedom flights conducted in
the last twelve-month period, and
certification of reciprocity from the
carrier’s homeland government. DOT
analysts will use the information
collected to determine if applications
for fifth-freedom operations meet the
public interest requirements necessary
to authorize such applications.
Burden Statement: We estimate that
the industry-wide total hour burden for
this collection to be approximately
1,000 hours or approximately 2.25 hours
per application. Conservatively, we
estimate the compilation of background
information will require 1.75 hours, and
the completion and submission of OST
Form 4540 will require thirty (30)
minutes. Reporting the number of thirdand fourth-freedom operations
conducted by an applicant carrier will
require collection of flight data, and
detailed analysis to determine which
flights conducted by the carrier are
third- and fourth-freedom. Applicants
should be able to use data collected for
the Department’s T–100 program to
provide this information (under this
program, carriers are required
periodically to compile and report
certain traffic data to the Department, as
more fully described in the Docket
referenced in footnote 1 below). The
Bureau of Transportation Statistics
(BTS) provide carriers with a computer
program that allows them to compile
and monitor, among other things, flight
origin and destination data, to be used
in making the carriers’ T–100

submissions.1 We estimated that carriers
will require 1.25 hours per application2
to compile and analyze the data
necessary to disclose the number of
third- and fourth-freedom flights
conducted within the twelve-month
period preceding the filing of an
application.
Foreign carriers will also have to
provide evidence that their homeland
government will afford reciprocity to
U.S. carriers seeking authority for the
similar fifth-, sixth- and seventhfreedom operations. Carriers may cite
certifications submitted by carriers from
the same homeland if that homeland
issued such certification within the
preceding six-month period.
Approximately 100 carriers from
roughly 30 distinct homelands use OST
Form 4540 to apply for statements of
authorization annually. We estimate
that one foreign carrier from any given
homeland will expend roughly 4 hours
every six-months to obtain certification
from its homeland governments.3 We
have apportioned 30 minutes to each
application to account for the time
required to obtain certifications from
homeland governments.
We have no empirical data to indicate
how much time is required for a person
to complete OST Form 4540; however,
anecdotal evidence reveals that
respondents spend thirty (30) minutes
or less completing the form and brief
justification. In some cases, respondents
spend a limited amount of time, less
than ten (10) minutes, reviewing the
form before sending it via facsimile or
email to the Department. In the interest
of providing a conservative estimate so
as to not understate the burden hours,
we estimate the hour burden for
completing OST Form 4540 as thirty
(30) minutes.
1 The rule-making associated with the T–100
program can be found on the Federal Docket
Management System (FDMS) at http://
www.regulations.gov, in Docket DOT–OST–1998–
4043. Information regarding burden hours is on file
in the Office of Aviation Analysis (X–50).
2 The Office of Aviation Analysis (X–50)
estimated that small-carriers would require 1
burden hour per report, and large carriers would
require 3 burden hours per report to analyze and
report T–100 program data. Considering that the
data required in this information collection can be
derived from data already collected, we have taken
an average of the estimated time required, and
conservatively shortened the time by 45 minutes
because no new data entry will be required.
3 Calculation: (4 burden hours per application) ×
(30 foreign homelands) × (2 requests per year) = 240
annual burden hours. Apportioning 240 annual
burden hours equally among an average of 430
applications annually = approximately 30 burden
minutes per application.

ACTION: Notice of applications for
exemption, request for comments.
AGENCY:

FMCSA announces receipt of
applications from 6 individuals for an
exemption from the prohibition against
persons with a clinical diagnosis of
epilepsy or any other condition which
is likely to cause a loss of consciousness
or any loss of ability to operate a
commercial motor vehicle (CMV) from
operating CMVs in interstate commerce.
The regulation and the associated
advisory criteria published in the Code
of Federal Regulations as the
‘‘Instructions for Performing and
Recording Physical Examinations’’ have
resulted in numerous drivers being
prohibited from operating CMVs in
interstate commerce based on the fact
that they have had one or more seizures
and are taking anti-seizure medication,
rather than an individual analysis of
their circumstances by a qualified
medical examiner. If granted, the
exemptions would enable these
individuals who have had one or more
seizures and are taking anti-seizure
medication to operate CMVs for 2 years
in interstate commerce.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before October 16, 2013.
