Charter Bus 30-Day Notice October 2020

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 209 / Wednesday, October 28, 2020 / Notices
exemption will be rescinded if: (1)
Motor carriers and/or commercial motor
vehicles fail to comply with the terms
and conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level
of safety than was maintained before it
was granted; or (3) continuation of the
exemption would not be consistent with
the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315(b).
Interested parties possessing
information that would demonstrate
that motor carriers operating CMVs
equipped with Samsara’s multi-sensor
device are not achieving the requisite
statutory level of safety should
immediately notify FMCSA. The
Agency will evaluate any such
information and, if safety is being
compromised or if the continuation of
the exemption is not consistent with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), will take
immediate steps to revoke the
exemption.
Preemption
In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
31315(d), as implemented by 49 CFR
381.600, during the period this
exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation applicable
to interstate commerce that conflicts
with or is inconsistent with this
exemption with respect to a firm or
person operating under the exemption.
States may, but are not required to,
adopt the same exemption with respect
to operations in intrastate commerce.

Deputy Administrator.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, Section 2,
109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised
at 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to issue
two notices seeking public comment on
information collection activities before
OMB may approve paperwork packages.
44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5,
1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On October 18,
2019, FTA published a 60-day notice
(84 FR 56012) in the Federal Register
soliciting comments on the ICR that the
agency was seeking OMB approval. FTA
received no comments after issuing this
60-day notice. Accordingly, DOT
announces that these information
collection activities have been reevaluated and certified under 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12(c).
Before OMB decides whether to
approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for
public comment. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5
CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires
OMB to approve or disapprove
paperwork packages between 30 and 60
days after the 30-day notice is
published. 44 U.S.C. 3507 (b)–(c); 5 CFR

1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes that the
30-day notice informs the regulated
community to file relevant comments
and affords the agency adequate time to
digest public comments before it
renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug.
29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should
submit their respective comments to
OMB within 30 days of publication to
best ensure having their full effect. 5
CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995.
The summaries below describe the
nature of the information collection
requirements (ICRs) and the expected
burden. The requirements are being
submitted for clearance by OMB as
required by the PRA.
Title: Charter Service Operations.
OMB Control Number: 2132–0543.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
previously approved information
collection.
Abstract: FTA recipients may only
provide charter bus service with FTAfunded facilities and equipment if the
charter service is incidental to the
provision of transit service (49 U.S.C.
5323(d)). This restriction protects
charter service providers from
unauthorized competition by FTA
recipients.
The requirements of 49 U.S.C. 5323(d)
are implemented in FTA’s charter
regulation (Charter Service Rule) at 49
CFR part 604. Amended in 2008, the
Charter Service Rule now contains five
(5) provisions that impose information
collection requirements on FTA
recipients of financial assistance from
FTA under Federal Transit Law.
First, 49 CFR Section 604.4 requires
all applicants for Federal financial
assistance under Federal Transit Law,
unless otherwise exempted under 49
CFR 604.2, to enter into a ‘‘Charter
Service Agreement,’’ contained in the
Certifications and Assurances for FTA
Assistance Programs. The Certifications
and Assurances become a part of the
Grant Agreement or Cooperative
Agreement for Federal financial
assistance upon receipt of Federal
funds. The rule requires each applicant
to submit one Charter Service
Agreement for each year that the
applicant intends to apply for the
Federal financial assistance specified
above.
Second, 49 CFR 604.14(3) requires a
recipient of Federal funds under Federal
Transit Law, unless otherwise exempt,
to provide email notification to all
registered charter providers in the
recipient’s geographic service area each
time the recipient receives a request for
charter service that the recipient is
interested in providing.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 209 / Wednesday, October 28, 2020 / Notices

Third, 49 CFR 604.12(c) requires a
recipient, unless otherwise exempt
under 49 CFR 604.2, to submit on a
quarterly basis records of all instances
that the recipient provided charter
service.
Fourth, 49 CFR 604.13 requires a
private charter provider to register on
FTA’s Charter Registration website at
http://ftawebprod.fta.dot.gov/
CharterRegistration/ in order to qualify
as a registered charter service provider
and receive email notifications by
recipients that are interested in
providing a requested charter service.
The rule requires that a registered
charter service provider must update its
information on the Charter Registration
website at least once every two years.
Currently, there are a total of 287
registered private charter service
providers. Registration has consistently
decreased over the years.
Lastly, 49 CFR 604.7 permits
recipients to provide charter service to
Qualified Human Service Organizations
(QHSO) under limited circumstances.
QHSOs that do not receive Federal
funding under programs listed in
Appendix A to Part 604 and seek to
receive free or reduced rate services
from recipients must register on FTA’s
Charter Registration website (49 CFR
604.15(a)).
Respondents: State and local
government, business or other for-profit
institutions, and non-profit institutions.
Estimated Annual Respondents: 2,180
respondents.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: 403.3 hours (0.05 hours
for each of the 1,676 Recipient
respondents under 49 CFR 604.4. 1.25
hours for each of the 90 Recipient
respondents under 49 CFR 604.12, 0.50
hours for each of the 90 Recipient
respondents under 49 CFR 604.14. 0.50
hours for each of the 37 non-profit
respondents, and 0.50 hours for each of
the estimated 287 for-profit
respondents.
Frequency: Annually, bi-annually,
quarterly, and as required.
