Redesignation of Airports Previously
Designated and Applying for Up to an
Additional Five Years in the Program
Airports applying for redesignation to
the Military Airport Program must
submit the same information required
by new candidate airports applying for
a new designation. On the SF 424,
Application for Federal Assistance,
prescribed by the Office of Management
and Budget Circular A–102, airports
must indicate their application is for
redesignation to the MAP. In addition to
the information required for new
candidates, airports requesting
redesignation must also explain:
(1) Why a redesignation and
additional MAP eligible project funding
is needed to accomplish the conversion
to meet the civil role of the airport and
the preferred time period for
redesignation not to exceed five years;
(2) Why funding of eligible work
under other categories of AIP or other
sources of funding would not
accomplish the development needs of
the airport; and
(3) Why, based on the previously
funded MAP projects, the projects and/
or funding level were insufficient to
accomplish the airport conversion needs
and development goals.
In addition to the information
requested above, airports applying for
redesignation must provide a reanalysis
of their original business/marketing
plans (for example, a plan previously
funded by the Office of Economic
Adjustment or the original Master Plan
for the airport) and prepare a report. If
there is not an existing business/
marketing plan a business/marketing
plan or strategy must be developed. The
report must contain:
(1) Whether the original business/
marketing plan is still appropriate;
(2) Is the airport continuing to work
towards the goals established in the
business/marketing plan;
(3) Discuss how the MAP projects
contained in the application contribute
to the goals of the sponsor and their
plans; and
(4) If the business/marketing plan no
longer applies to the current goals of the
airport, how has the airport altered the
business/marketing plan to establish a
new direction for the facility and how
do the projects contained in the MAP
application aid in the completion of the
new direction and goals and by what
date does the sponsor anticipate
graduating from the MAP.
This notice is issued pursuant to Title
49 U.S.C. 47118.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
An LCV is any combination of a trucktractor and two or more semi-trailers or
trailers that operates on the National
System of Interstate and Defense
Highways (according to 23 CFR 470.107)
and has a gross vehicle weight greater
than 80,000 pounds. To enhance the
safety of LCV operations on our nation’s
highways, Section 4007(b) of the Motor
Carrier Act of 1991 directed the
Secretary of Transportation to establish
Federal minimum training requirements
for drivers of LCVs [Intermodal Surface

Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991
(ISTEA), Pub. L. 102–240, 105 Stat.
1914, 2152]. The Secretary of
Transportation delegated responsibility
for establishing these requirements to
FMCSA (49 CFR 1.87), and on March
30, 2004, after appropriate notice and
solicitation of public comment, FMCSA
established the current training
requirements for operators of LCVs (69
FR 16722). The regulations bar motor
carriers from permitting their drivers to
operate an LCV if they have not been
properly trained in accordance with the
requirements of 49 CFR 380.113. Drivers
receive an LCV Driver-Training
Certificate upon successful completion
of these training requirements. Motor
carriers employing an LCV driver must
verify the driver’s qualifications to
operate an LCV, and must maintain a
copy of the LCV Driver-Training
Certificate to present to authorized
Federal, State or local officials upon
request.
Title: Training Certification for
Drivers of LCVs.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0026.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently-approved information
collection.
Respondents: Drivers who complete
LCV training each year, current LCV
drivers who submit their LCV DriverTraining Certificate to prospective
employers, and employers (motor
carriers) receiving and maintaining
copies of the LCV Driver-Training
certificates of their drivers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
50,880, consisting of 940 newly-certified
LCV drivers plus 24,500 currentlycertified LCV drivers plus 25,440 motor
carriers employing LCV drivers.
Estimated Time per Response: 10
minutes for preparation of LCV DriverTraining Certificates for drivers who
successfully complete the LCV training,
and 10 minutes for activities associated
with the LCV Driver-Training Certificate
during the hiring process.
Expiration Date: March 31, 2014.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
4,397 hours. The total number of drivers
who will be subjected to these
requirements each year is 25,440,
consisting of 940 newly-certified LCV
drivers, and 24,500 currently-certified
LCV drivers obtaining new employment.
The total annual information collection
burden is approximately 4,397 hours,
consisting of 157 hours for preparation
of LCV Driver-Training Certificates [940
drivers successfully completing LCV
driver training × 10 minutes ÷ 60
minutes/hour] and 4,240 hours for
requirements related to the hiring of
LCV drivers [24,500 LCV drivers

Inspection Violation Data
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice; request for public
comment.
AGENCY:

FMCSA announces changes to
its Motor Carrier Management
Information System (MCMIS) to allow
the Agency to upload the results of

citation associated with a violation that
was dismissed or resulted in a finding
of not guilty; resulted in a conviction of
a different or lesser charge; or resulted
in conviction of the original charge.
This action will improve roadside
inspection data quality. In addition, the
Agency announces new processes to
provide more uniformity in the way the
inspection violation data are treated in
FMCSA data systems. FMCSA seeks
public comments on the prospective
application of the changes.
DATES: Comments must be received on
