Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 226 / Tuesday, November 24, 2015 / Notices

that the Committee review sections of
NVIC 04–08, ‘‘Medical and Physical
Evaluation Guidelines for Merchant
Mariner Credentials,’’ to ensure that the
Coast Guard’s guidance is in compliance
with all current regulations and reflects
medical considerations that are
appropriate for merchant mariners.
Task Statement 1 required the
following inputs. First, it required the
working group to review the
introduction and Enclosures 1, 2, 5, and
6 of NVIC 04–08 to ensure compliance
with existing Coast Guard regulations in
the Code of Federal Regulations.
Second, it required the working group to
review all medical conditions listed in
Enclosures 3 and 4 of the NVIC and
perform the following actions:
—Identify circumstances defining
inordinate risk for the condition.
—Identify circumstances which would
decrease the risk from inordinate.
—Determine appropriate amplifying
information and testing required to
assess the condition.
—Identify the standards used to
determine the suitability of the
condition.
—Determine the minimum compliance
for the condition that should allow
safe operation.
—Determine whether or not a waiver is
required and define waiver
parameters.
—Work with the Top Mariner
Conditions working group to
incorporate their recommendations
for the top medical conditions.
Subsequently, a working group was
established. The working group was
comprised of individual members of
MEDMAC and the public, although the
composition of the working group
changed over time. The Committee
voted to accept the response to Task
Statement 1 provided by the working
group during the sixth public meeting
held on September 29–30, 2014 in Piney
Point, MD. All working group meetings
were open to the public.
The response to Task Statement 1 is
in the form of a revised NVIC 04–08.
This revision includes both the
introduction to NVIC 04–08 as well as
revised versions of each of the
enclosures. In accordance with the task
statement, the working group has made
revisions to each enclosure, but made
substantial revisions to enclosures 3 and
4. These enclosures, entitled ‘‘Vision
and Hearing Standards’’ and ‘‘Guidance
on Specific Medical Conditions,’’
provide detailed guidelines that can
help the Coast Guard make fitness
determinations for mariners to maintain
their credentials.

Advisory Committee’s response to Task

Statement 1 is a work product of the

official Coast Guard policy and may not

The Coast Guard may use the response,
or portions of the response, for
development of future policy.

Statutorily Mandated Designation of
Difficult Development Areas and
Qualified Census Tracts for 2016
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Policy Development and
Research, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

This document designates
‘‘Difficult Development Areas’’ (DDAs)
and ‘‘Qualified Census Tracts’’ (QCTs)
for purposes of the Low-Income
Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) under
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 42
(26 U.S.C. 42). The United States
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) makes new DDA
and QCT designations annually. As
previously announced, the 2016
metropolitan DDA designations use for
the first time Small Area Fair Market
Rents (SAFMRs), rather than
metropolitan-area Fair Market Rents
(FMRs), for designating metropolitan
DDAs. Compared to previous
designations, this notice: (1) Describes a
strengthening of the data quality
standard HUD uses in designating the
2016 QCTs, (2) extends from 365 days
to 730 days the period for which the
2016 lists of QCTs and DDAs are
effective for projects located in areas not
on a subsequent list of DDAs or QCTs
but having submitted applications while
the area was a 2016 QCT or DDA, and
(3) establishes the effective date of the
new QCTs and DDAs as July 1, 2016
rather than January 1.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
questions on how areas are designated
and on geographic definitions, contact

Economic Development and Public
Finance Division, Office of Policy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This Document
This notice designates DDAs for each
of the 50 states, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam,
the Northern Mariana Islands, and the
U.S. Virgin Islands. The designations of
DDAs in this notice are based on
modified Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Small
Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs),
FY2015 income limits, and 2010 Census
population counts, as explained below.
This notice also designates QCTs
based on new income and poverty data
released in the American Community
Survey (ACS). HUD relies on the most
recent three sets of ACS estimates to
ensure that anomalous estimates, due to
sampling, do not affect the QCT status
of tracts.
2010 Census and 2007–2011, 2008–2012
and 2009–2013 American Community
Survey Data
Data from the 2010 Census on total
population of metropolitan areas and
nonmetropolitan areas are used in the
designation of DDAs. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) first
published new metropolitan area
definitions incorporating 2000 Census
data in OMB Bulletin No. 03–04 on June
6, 2003, and updated them periodically
through OMB Bulletin No. 10–02 on
