of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
OMB Control Number: 2120–0730.
Title: Certification of Aircraft and
Airmen for the Operation of Light-Sport
Aircraft.
Form Numbers: Aircraft maintenance
records/logs.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: Title 14 CFR,
§ 91.417(a)(2)(v) requires each registered
owner or operator to retain records
containing the current status of
applicable safety directives including,
for each, the method of compliance, the
safety directive number and revision
date. Additionally, if the safety directive
involves recurring action, the time and
date when the next action is required.
Recording this information and
retaining these records is necessary to
determine if unsafe conditions have
been corrected on aircraft issued a
special airworthiness certificate in the
light-sport category (SLSA), which
assists in ensuring that the SLSA aircraft
is in a condition safe for flight prior to
its operation within the national
airspace.
Respondents include owners/
operators of SLSA, aircraft mechanics,
and LSA repairmen with a Maintenance
rating. The records of SLSA safety
directive compliance are retained by the
aircraft owner/operator, who must keep
the records for the life of the SLSA
aircraft and transfer them to the new
owner at the time the aircraft is sold.
The burden estimates are based on the
current number of registered SLA and a
projected future growth rate.
Respondents: 2935 owners/operators
of SLSA aircraft.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 2 Hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 5870
hours annual industry burden.
Issued in Washington, DC, on November
12, 2019.

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 221 / Friday, November 15, 2019 / Notices
Issued under the authority delegated in 49
CFR 1.87 on: November 7, 2019.
Kelly Regal,
Associate Administrator for Office of
Research and Information Technology.

Estimated Total Annual Burden:
6,508 hours [39,047 respondents × 10
minutes per response].
Background
The Secretary of Transportation
(Secretary) is authorized to register
motor carriers under the provisions of
49 U.S.C. 13902; freight forwarders
under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 13903;
and property brokers under provisions
of 49 U.S.C. 13904. These persons may
conduct transportation services only if
they are registered pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
13901. The Secretary delegated
authority pertaining to these registration
requirements to FMCSA in 49 CFR
1.73(a)(5).
Registered motor carriers, brokers and
freight forwarders must designate an
agent on whom service of notices in
proceedings before the Secretary may be
made (49 U.S.C. 13303). Registered
motor carriers must also designate an
agent for every State in which they
operate and traverse in the United States
during such operations, agents on whom
process issued by a court may be served
in actions brought against the registered
motor carrier (49 U.S.C. 13304, 49 CFR
366.4T). Every broker shall make a
designation for each State in which its
offices are located or in which contracts
are written (49 U.S.C. 13304, 49 CFR
366.4T). Regulations governing the
designation of process agents are found
at 49 CFR part 366. This designation is
filed with FMCSA on Form BOC–3,
‘‘Designation of Agents for Service of
Process.’’ The program decrease in
annual burden hours from 18,395 to
6,508 is due to revised estimates of the
number of respondents and responses.
Previous estimates were based on 2014
data. Current estimates are based on
May 2019 Motor Carrier Management
Information System (MCMIS) and Safety
Measurement System (SMS) data
snapshots.
Public Comments Invited:
You are asked to comment on any
aspect of this information collection,
including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the FMCSA to
perform it’s functions; (2) the accuracy
of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the
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.

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for Construction and Operation of a
Replacement Currency Production
Facility at the Beltsville Agricultural
Research Center, Prince George’s
County, MD
Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, Department of the Treasury.
ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI).
AGENCY:

The Department of the
Treasury, Bureau of Engraving and
Printing (BEP) announces its intent to
prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for
the construction and operation of a
replacement currency production
facility.
DATES: Comments must be received by
December 16, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
mailed to: US Army Corps of Engineers,
ATTN. Harvey Johnson, Programs and
Project Management Division, 2
Hopkins Plaza, 10th Floor, Baltimore,
MD 21201, or emailed to: BEP-EIS@
usace.army.mil.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Harvey Johnson by email at BEP-EIS@
usace.army.mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BEP is the
federal agency tasked with developing
and producing United States currency
notes and other security documents.
BEP currently operates production
facilities in Washington, DC and in Fort
Worth, Texas for this purpose. The
Washington DC facility (DCF) is more
than 100 years old and subject to substandard conditions that limit BEP’s
ability to modernize its production
operations. These limitations include
space, functional, and security
deficiencies, in particular, segmented
production processes and antiquated
systems and equipment. From 2010
through 2017, BEP conducted various
studies to evaluate alternative courses of
action based on factors such as cost,
location, and operational requirements.
These investigations concluded that
construction of a replacement
production facility (vice renovation of

the existing DCF) was the most
appropriate and cost-effective course of
action for BEP to modernize its currency
production operations. A 2018
Government Accountability Office
(GAO) review concurred with BEP’s
determination. Once operational, the
new facility would phase out BEP’s
manufacturing operations at its existing
Washington, DC facility (DCF); the main
building in DC would be renovated for
administrative purposes, and the Annex
building would be returned to the
General Services Administration (GSA).
BEP is currently evaluating a potential
site at the US Department of Agriculture
(USDA) Beltsville Agricultural Research
Center (BARC) for development of the
new facility. The site’s location would
meet BEP’s siting requirements for being
accessible to commercial airports and
interstate roadways, and for maintaining
a reasonable commuting distance for its
existing workforce in Washington, DC.
A formal land transfer between BEP and
USDA is pending further study of the
site.
The EIS will analyze the potential
impacts of siting a new BEP currency
production facility at the BARC site. At
a minimum, the EIS will analyze a No
Action Alternative, the impacts of not
constructing a replacement production
facility at the BARC, and a Proposed
Action Alternative. Other reasonable
alternatives identified during
conceptual design and the NEPA
process for this proposed action will
also be considered for evaluation in the
EIS. Resource areas that will be
analyzed in the EIS include: Land use,
aesthetics, air quality, noise, geology
and soils, water resources, biological
resources, cultural resources,
socioeconomics and environmental
justice, traffic and transportation,
utilities, and hazardous and toxic
materials/waste. Mitigation measures
will be presented in the EIS to reduce
potential adverse effects.
The 2018 Farm Bill (Public Law 115–
334) provided Congressional
authorization for a land transfer
between BEP and USDA. BEP is
currently evaluating a potential site at
the USDA’s BARC on which to
construct and operate the new facility.
The BARC site is located in Beltsville,
Prince George’s County, Maryland on
approximately 105 acres near the
intersection of Poultry Road and Powder
Mill Road. The site’s location meets
BEP’s siting requirements for being
accessible to commercial airports and
interstate roadways, and for maintaining
a reasonable commuting distance for its
current workforce in Washington, DC. A
formal land transfer between BEP and
