Petition for Amending Waiver of
Compliance
In accordance with Part 211 of Title
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
this document provides the public
notice that a document dated March 8,
2014, the Hoosier Valley Railroad
Museum (HVRM) petitioned the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) with a
request to extend the waiver of
compliance granted by FRA on
September 11, 2009, that provided relief
from certain provisions of 49 CFR
240.201(d), Implementation. The
petition was assigned to Docket Number
FRA–2009–0023.
HVRM seeks to extend the period of
current relief regarding compliance with
49 CFR 240.201(d), which requires that
‘‘[a]fter December 31, 1991, no railroad
shall permit or require any person to
operate a locomotive in any class of
locomotive or train service unless that
person has been certified as a qualified
locomotive engineer and issued a
certificate that complies with 240.223.’’

HVRM desires to continue its ‘‘engineerfor-an-hour’’ operation, which allows
noncertified individuals (generally,
members of the public visiting the
museum) to operate a locomotive
between Milepost (MP) 213.5 and MP
216. HVRM believes that extending this
waiver will enable it to continue to
generate funds to support its goal of
acquiring and refurbishing railroad
antiquities so that they may be enjoyed
by future generations.
HVRM, which is controlled and
operated by the Chesapeake and Indiana
Railroad, operates between MP 212.5
and MP 223.0 on track owned by the
Town of North Judson, IN. The
museum’s depot is located
approximately at MP 213.4. HVRM will
continue to verify that each participant
is in possession of a valid State-issued
motor vehicle license, evaluate each
participant visually for fitness to operate
the locomotive with respect to obvious
signs of alcohol and/or drug use, and
will have a certified locomotive
engineer in the cab at all times. The
operations will be conducted under
Absolute Block Authority (a section of
track that can only be occupied by one
train at a time) on only a designated
portion of track only during daylight
hours. An HVRM-qualified locomotive
engineer will conduct a job briefing
with each participant to ensure all
parties know and understand the
movement to be made and the
individual responsibilities in the
proposed movements. HVRM would
limit engineer-for-an-hour train size to
one locomotive and not more than three
cars with no revenue passengers or
members of the public on board during
operations. Any accident or incident
that occurs during an engineer-for-anhour movement will be immediately
reported to FRA. HVRM also believes
these operations will not pose any safety
concerns to the public at large.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at
the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
(DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE., W12–140,
Washington, DC 20590. The Docket
Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested party desires
an opportunity for oral comment, they

Title: Mild Cognitive Impairment and
Driving Performance.
Form No.: NHTSA Form 1240.
Type of Review: Regular.
Respondents: Drivers age 60 and older
who have responded to a solicitation for
participation in a study of aging,
cognition, and driving safety and have
provided a phone number and/or email
for contact.
Estimated Number of Respondents: It
is estimated that 90 telephone
conversations will be conducted with
respondents to descriptive solicitations,
to yield 60 participants.
Estimated Time per Response: The
estimated time to respond to questions
in the telephone conversations is 10
minutes for each telephone conversation
with a respondent. If an Optional Task
is funded, up to 30 of the initial 60
participants would be contacted
monthly by phone for one year, at an
estimated 10 minutes per call.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours: 15 hours (without the Optional
Task). The Optional Task total estimated
annual burden is 60 hours.
Frequency of Collection: Without the
Optional Task, the questions will be
presented a single time. The Optional
Task will add 12 contacts per
participant in which questions are
presented.
Abstract
Older adults comprise an increasing
proportion of the (driving) population
and there is concern about the effects of
mild cognitive impairment (MCI) on
driver performance and safety. MCI
becomes more prevalent with advancing

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001

age. The objective of this project is to
document differences in driving
performance and exposure between
participants with MCI and a comparison
group of cognitively normal drivers of
similar age. The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
proposes to collect information from
licensed older drivers about their
driving habits in order to determine
whether they are eligible to participate
in a study of the effects of mild
cognitive impairment on driving
performance. Drivers will volunteer for
the study by responding to a mailed or
individually delivered solicitation.
Researchers will ask drivers a brief (<10
minutes) series of questions to
determine eligibility to participate in
the study, then describe the proposed
study to respondents who qualify. Each
driver who meets study inclusion
criteria will then be asked if he or she
wishes to participate. If yes, a project
assistant will ask for a description of the
car in order to identify it and install a
data collection system that will collect
all remaining data necessary for the
study. The questions will allow research
staff to ensure that prospective
participants meet study inclusion
criteria and facilitate installing data
collection instruments in each
participant’s vehicle. The findings from
this study will help clinicians to
identify and intervene when a client
with dementia begins to exhibit
potentially risky driving behaviors.
NHTSA will use the information to
develop recommendations to health care
providers and to the public regarding
when the progression of a condition
causing cognitive impairment results in
the need to transition from driving, with
the ultimate goal of reducing injuries
and loss of life on the highway.
ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding
the burden estimate, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 17th Street NW.,
Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk
Officer for Department of
Transportation, National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, or by
email at [email protected],
or fax: 202–395–5806.
Comments Are Invited On: whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department of
Transportation, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Department’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection; ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the

information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. A comment to OMB is most
effective if OMB receives it within 30
days of publication of this notice.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
