ability of those carriers to continue to
provide safe and quality transportation
service. (Id. at 19.) Applicant states that
he has no outstanding debts related to
these transactions, has minimal overall
debts, and was able to pay down
acquisition debt promptly following the
relevant acquisitions. (Appl. 24; Suppl.
19.)
Applicant states that the historical
acquisitions of control of the Affiliated
Carriers have not had any material
adverse effect on employee or labor
conditions. Applicant asserts that, since
those acquisitions, there have not been
any mass layoffs or substantial
employee restructurings, and no adverse
changes to wage and benefit
arrangements have been implemented.
(Suppl. 20.)
Based on Applicant’s representations,
the Board finds that the acquisition of
FTS is consistent with the public
interest and should be tentatively
approved and authorized. The Board
also finds that the historical acquisitions
of control of the Affiliated Carriers are
consistent with the public interest and
should be tentatively approved and
authorized after the fact. If any opposing
comments are timely filed, these
findings will be deemed vacated and,
unless a final decision can be made on
the record as developed, a procedural
schedule will be adopted to reconsider
the application. See 49 CFR 1182.6. If
no opposing comments are filed by the
expiration of the comment period, this

will be the final Board action in this
proceeding.

Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
collection of information was published
on June 5, 2024 (89 FR 48213). The
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993 (GPRA) Section 2(b)(3)
requires agencies to ‘‘improve Federal
program effectiveness and public
accountability by promoting a new
focus on results, service quality, and
customer satisfaction’’. In addition, as
stated in the White House
‘‘Memorandum for Heads of Executive
Departments and Agencies’’ regarding
Executive Order No. 12862, ‘‘the actions
the order prescribes, such as surveying
customers, surveying employees, and
benchmarking, shall be continuing
agency activities’’. This collection
supports the Department of
Transportation (DOT) strategic goal of
Organizational Excellence.
In compliance with the Government
Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA), all
of our data collection will be 100%
electronic using an online form;
Applicants will be asked to complete
the survey just before they exit the
system. The AVIATOR Customer
Satisfaction Survey is designed to
identify potential problems with FAA’s
automated staffing solutions as well as
to evaluate customer satisfaction with
the on-line application process. The
information is not gathered by any other
collection. It will be difficult, if not
impossible, to improve the AVIATOR
system’s overall performance and
customer satisfaction without utilizing

the survey as a performance
measurement tool.
Respondents: 495,972 applicants
(from January 1, 2021, to December 31,
2023) had the opportunity to complete

of 165,324 applicants per year. We
estimate that it takes 3 minutes to
complete one survey. Our data indicates
that 11.14% of applicants (18,424
averaged for 3 years) completed surveys
during this timeframe.
Frequency: On occasion/as interested.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Three (3) minutes per person.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
18,424 respondents × 0.05 (3/60) = 921.

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption
Applications; Epilepsy and Seizure
Disorders; Correction
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of correction; reopening
of comment period.
AGENCY:

FMCSA corrects its August 7,
2024, notice requesting comments on its

Regulations (FMCSRs) that interstate
commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers have ‘‘no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy
or any other condition which is likely
to cause loss of consciousness or any
loss of ability to control a CMV’’ to
correctly list the docket number that one
individual was included in. The
exemptions enable these individuals
who have had one or more seizures and
are taking anti-seizure medication to
continue to operate CMVs in interstate
commerce. The Agency also reopens the
public comment period for that notice.
DATES: The comment period for the
notice published August 7, 2024, at 89
FR 64532, is reopened. Comments must
be received on or before December 16,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August

renewal of exemptions (89 FR 64532),
which FMCSA announced its decision
to renew exemptions for seven
individuals from the requirement in the

commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers have ‘‘no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy
or any other condition which is likely
to cause loss of consciousness or any
loss of ability to control a CMV.’’ The
notice inadvertently published the
incorrect docket number for the renewal
applicant, Raymond Lobo (NJ). Through
this notice, FMCSA corrects the August
7, 2024, notice of renewal of exemptions
by correctly indicating the complete
docket number.1
In FR Doc. 2024–17422, starting on
page 64532 in the Federal Register of
August 7, 2024, ‘‘FMCSA–2013–044’’ is
corrected to read ‘‘FMCSA–2013–0442’’
wherever it appears in the document.
FMCSA corrects the notice and
reopens the comment period to ensure
that interested parties have sufficient
time to review and comment on the
renewal of exemptions.

that it is appropriate to grant a Buy

(DTC) for the procurement of special
trackwork turnout switch components

Jason Luebbers, FTA Attorney-Advisor,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
With certain exceptions, FTA’s Buy
America requirements prevent FTA
from obligating an amount that may be
appropriated to carry out its program for
a project unless ‘‘the steel, iron, and
manufactured goods used in the project
are produced in the United States.’’ 49
U.S.C. 5323(j)(1). A manufactured
product is considered produced in the
United States if (1) all of the
manufacturing processes for the product
take place in the United States and (2)
all of the components of the product are
of U.S. origin. A component is
considered of U.S. origin if it is
manufactured in the United States,
regardless of the origin of its
subcomponents. 49 CFR 661.5(d).
FTA may waive Buy America
requirements for a product if, among
other reasons, a compliant version of the
product is not produced in a sufficient
and reasonably available amount or is
not of satisfactory quality. 49 U.S.C.
5323(j)(2)(B). FTA cannot deny a request
for a nonavailability waiver unless it
can provide the waiver applicant with a
written certification that the item is
produced in the United States in a
sufficient and reasonably available
amount; the item produced in the
United States is of a satisfactory quality;
and includes a list of known
manufacturers in the United States from
which the item can be obtained. 49
U.S.C. 5323(j)(6).
DTC is the owner and operator of the
Detroit People Mover, which is the
largest municipal rail system in
Michigan. It is an automated light rail
system that operates twelve rail cars on
an elevated single track in a 2.9-mile
loop with thirteen passenger stations in
Detroit’s central business district.
The existing switches were installed
as original equipment in 1987 and
designed to European standards, using
