Petition for Modification of Waiver of
Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on December 12, 2022, Kansas City
Southern Railway Company (now
known as CPKC),1 on behalf of the
Kansas City Southern Railway Company
and Kansas City Southern de Mexico,
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a modification
of an existing waiver of compliance in
Docket Number FRA–2007–28700. That
waiver provides KCSR limited,
conditional relief from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations contained at 49 CFR parts
215 (Railroad Freight Car Safety
Standards) and 232 (Brake System
Safety Standards for Freight and Other
Non-Passenger Trains and Equipment;
End-of-Train Devices). Additionally,
CPKC requested certification under
section 416 of the Rail Safety
Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA), that
brake inspections conducted in Mexico
meet FRA requirements. FRA notes that
CPKC’s request under RSIA Section 416
will be handled separately from its
waiver modification request and
accordingly this notice only addresses
CPKC’s request to modify the existing
waiver in Docket Number FRA–2007–
28700.
Specifically, in its petition CPKC
requests a modification of the existing
relief in Docket Number FRA–2007–
28700 involving 49 CFR 232.205, Class
I brake test-initial terminal inspection,
and certain provisions of 49 CFR part
215, regarding freight cars received in
interchange from KCSM at the U.S./
Mexico border crossing and
international bridge in Laredo, Texas.
CPKC requests that FRA permit the
inspections and brake tests currently
required to be conducted at the point of
interchange between CPKC and KCSM
1 On April 14, 2023, Kansas City Southern (KCS)
merged with Canadian Pacific Railway forming
CPKC. Accordingly, this notice refers to KCS as
CPKC.

and at CPKC’s Laredo Yard in Texas to
be conducted in KCSM’s Sanchez Yard
in Mexico.
In support of its petition, CPKC states
that the existing waiver has contributed
to border security and that no incidents
have been attributed to the relief in the
past fourteen years. Additionally, CPKC
proposes to implement new technology,
Duo Technologies rip® Railcar
Inspection (DTRI) that will (a) allow
FRA to confirm remotely at the time a
train arrives at the international bridge
that the train has passed the Class I or
Class III brake test in Sanchez Yard, and
(b) allow CPKC qualified mechanical
inspectors to use the DTRI data to
confirm the ‘‘mechanical soundness’’ of
any train interchanged from KCSM to
CPKC. CPKC also explains that
‘‘[a]voiding stopping trains on the
Bridge will also reduce the incidence of
vandalism to brake systems that occurs
when trains stop on the Bridge waiting
to cross into the U.S.’’
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
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 and a
public hearing, they should notify FRA,
in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
for their request.
All communications concerning these
proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be
submitted at http://www.regulations.
gov. Follow the online instructions for
submitting comments.
Communications received by August
7, 2023 will be considered by FRA
before final action is taken. Comments
received after that date will be
considered if practicable.

agency can collect certain information
from the public, it must receive
approval from OMB. Under procedures
established by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, before seeking OMB
approval, federal agencies must solicit
public comment on proposed
collections of information, including
extensions and reinstatement of
previously approved collections. This
document describes a collection of
information for which NHTSA intends
to seek OMB approval on a
segmentation study related to alcoholimpaired driving and riding
(motorcycles). This study’s objective is
to better understand alcoholconsumption behaviors and how they
relate to potential alcohol-impaired
driving/riding. The results of this study
will help NHTSA inform its consumer
messages to reduce fatalities and
injuries on US roadways.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), before
an agency submits a proposed collection
of information to OMB for approval, it
must first publish a document in the
Federal Register providing a 60-day
comment period and otherwise consult
with members of the public and affected
agencies concerning each proposed
collection of information. The OMB has
promulgated regulations describing
what must be included in such a
document. Under OMB’s regulation (at
5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must ask
for public comment on the following: (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the

agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) how to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) how to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. In compliance with these
requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comments on the following proposed
collection of information for which the
agency is seeking approval from OMB.
Title: Alcohol-Impaired Driving
Segmentation Study.
OMB Control Number: New.
Form Number(s): N/A.
Type of Request: Comments on a new
information collection.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three (3) years from date of
approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information:
NHTSA is seeking approval to
conduct a nationwide alcohol-impaired
driving segmentation study to learn
about alcohol-consumption behaviors
and how they relate to potential
impaired driving. The one-time
voluntary study will be used to obtain
information to better understand
attitudes and behaviors related to
alcohol-impaired driving that will be
used to enhance and refine
communication strategy and tactics (i.e.,
more effectively target and message atrisk drivers and motorcycle riders). The
study will survey drivers and
motorcycle riders ages 21- to 54-yearsold because this age range represents the
greatest number of alcohol-related
driving/riding fatalities according to
NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting
System (FARS).1
The research study will include two
components, both being one-time
collections. The first component will
involve a series of online webcam
interviews that will collect qualitative
information that will serve as a
cognitive test to improve the
quantitative survey that will be
administered in the second component.
The quantitative survey will be
administered online and by phone.
After collecting the data, segmentation

analysis will be done to classify drivers
and motorcycle riders according to
segments based on common
demographics, drinking behaviors,
attitudes about drinking and driving/
motorcycle riding, and lifestyle
characteristics.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: This alcohol-impaired
driving segmentation study will help
NHTSA better understand its impaired
driving campaign audience to
communicate messages most effectively
about being safe and decreasing
impaired driving.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), under the
U.S. Department of Transportation
(USDOT), was established to reduce the
number of deaths, injuries and
economic losses resulting from motor
vehicle crashes on the nation’s
highways. In keeping with this mission
and to fulfill a congressional mandate to
improve highway traffic safety,
NHTSA’s Office of Communications and
Consumer Information (OCCI) is
dedicated to eliminating risky behaviors
on our nation’s roads through public
awareness campaigns. One of the most
significant NHTSA’s OCCI seeks to
address through these efforts is drunk
driving.
Drunk driving is a significant cause of
highway fatalities, injuries and
economic losses. Alcohol-impaired
driving fatalities totaled 11,654 in 2020,
accounting for 30% of all motor-vehiclecrash fatalities.2 On average, in 2020,
there was an alcohol-impaired driving
fatality every 45 minutes.3 Among
motorcycle riders, in particular, 27% of
riders in fatal crashes were legally
drunk—a rate exceeding that of
passenger car drivers (23%) and the
highest among all vehicle types
measured.4 Aside from the fatalities,
alcohol-impaired driving crashes carried
an economic cost of an estimated $44
billion in 2010 (the most recent year for
which cost data is available).5
In order for NHTSA’s public
awareness campaigns on drunk driving
to be effective they must effectively
‘‘compete’’ for audience attention in the
public domain among hundreds of other
major marketers, including those in the
alcoholic beverage industry that
strategically target messages to

particular groups of the public
marketplace. In the consumer marketing
context and environment, NHTSA must
work to convince members of the
driving/riding public not to operate
vehicles when impaired by alcohol.
Accordingly, NHTSA finds that it is
necessary to conduct research, as
authorized by the National Traffic Motor
Vehicle Safety Act, to conduct research
that will allow NHTSA to better tailor
its communication strategies.
Specifically, NHTSA believes a
segmentation analysis such as the one
described above would be especially
useful to NHTSA. More closely
understanding and segmenting drunk
drivers and motorcycle riders will
enable more effective communications
programs. Insights about drunk drivers’/
motorcycle riders’ lifestyle
characteristics, alcohol-consumption
behaviors and attitudes towards drunk
driving will provide useful, pragmatic
information for NHTSA’s continuing
efforts to address the drunk driving/
motorcycle riding issue responsible for
so many deaths.
The segmentation profiles will be
used by NHTSA’s Office of
Communications and Consumer
Information (OCCI) to better target and
reach intended audiences with
communications messages and
techniques that are relevant and
meaningful to people within the target
market.
Affected Public: Vehicle Drivers and
Motorcycle Riders ages 21–54 (English
and Spanish-speaking).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
5,400.
Frequency: One time.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 3,574.67.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost:
$119,250.99.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspects of this
information collection, including (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Department’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(d) 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.

Chief Information Officer, Office of the
Secretary of Transportation, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of a new system of
records.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of
Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), proposes to
establish a new system of records titled,
‘‘DOT/FAA 856 Airmen Medical
Records.’’ 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) 61.23 Medical
Certificates: Requirement and Duration
specify operations requiring medical
certificates. Collectively, for the
purposes of this system of records
notice, individuals required to obtain
medical certificates are referred to as
applicants. This Notice covers records
maintained for the required airmen
medical certification process which is
initiated by the airman medical
certificate application. In addition to the
initial medical records obtained at time
of certification, FAA also maintains
information on post-certification
medical changes including failed drug
and substance abuse testing results that
could disqualify certificated airmen.
Finally, this system of records supports
regulatory enforcement activities and
other legal actions, such as denial of
medical certifications, so records
including, but not limited to, predecisional notes in airmen medical files,
are exempted from certain access and
disclosure requirements of the Privacy
Act of 1974.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
July 7, 2023. The Department may
publish an amended systems of records
notice considering any comments
received. This new system will be
effective immediately upon publication.
The routine uses will be effective July
7, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, DOT/FAA proposes
to issue a new system of records notice
titled, DOT/FAA 856 ‘‘Airmen Medical
Records’’ (hereafter referred to as
‘‘Notice’’).
Airmen Medical Certification Process
Records maintained in this system of
records were previously covered under
DOT/FAA 847, Aviation Records on
Individuals (75 FR 68849—November 9,
2010). To provide the public with
greater transparency and accountability
to its business processes and data
collection, FAA created this new Notice
to more precisely consolidate records
with similar purpose, authorities,
categories of individuals, sources of
information, and retention timeframes.
This system of records covers all facets
of the medical clearance process for
airmen and non-FAA Air Traffic Control
