Agenda
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Improvement of our regulations is a prime goal of the Department of Transportation (Department or DOT). There should be no more regulations than necessary and those that are issued should be simpler, more comprehensible, and less burdensome. Regulations should not be issued without appropriate involvement of the public; once issued, they should be periodically reviewed and revised, as needed, to assure that they continue to meet the needs for which they originally were designed.
To help the Department achieve these goals and in accordance with Executive Order 12866 "Regulatory Planning and Review" (58 FR 51735; October 4, 1993) and the Department's Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979), the Department prepares a semiannual regulatory agenda. It summarizes all current and projected rulemaking, reviews of existing regulations, and completed actions of the Department. These are matters on which action has begun or is projected during the succeeding 12 months or such longer period as may be anticipated or for which action has been completed since the last agenda.
The agendas are based on reports submitted by the offices initiating the rulemaking and are reviewed by the Department Regulations Council. The Department's last agenda was published in the Federal Register on November 30, 2000 (65 FR 74134). The next one is scheduled for publication in the Federal Register in October 2001.
The Department has created an Internet site that provides general information about its rulemaking responsibilities and activities. It includes hypertext links to numerous other departmental sites providing helpful information about DOT regulation. The web address for this site is regs.dot.gov.
Significant/Priority Rulemakings
The agenda covers all rules and regulations of the Department. We have classified rules as a DOT agency priority in the agenda if they are, essentially, very costly, controversial, or of substantial public interest under our Regulatory Policies and Procedures. All DOT agency priority rulemaking documents are subject to review by the Secretary of Transportation. If the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) decides a rule is subject to its review under Executive Order 12866, we have classified it as significant in the agenda.
Explanation of Information on the Agenda
The format for this agenda is required by Office of Management and Budget memorandum of January 16, 2001.
First, the agenda is divided by initiating offices. Then, the agenda is divided into five categories: (1) Prerule stage, (2) proposed rule stage, (3) final rule stage, (4) long-term actions, and (5) completed actions. For each entry, the agenda provides the following information: (1) Its "significance"; (2) a short descriptive title; (3) its legal basis; (4) the related regulatory citation in the Code of Federal Regulations; (5) any legal deadline and, if so, for what action (e.g., NPRM, final rule); (6) an abstract; (7) a timetable, including the earliest expected date for a decision on whether to take the action; (8) whether the rulemaking will affect small entities and/or levels of government and, if so, which categories; (9) whether a Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) analysis is required (for rules that would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities); (10) a listing of any analyses an office will prepare or has prepared for the action (With minor exceptions, DOT requires an economic analysis for all its rulemakings.); (11) an agency contact office or official who can provide further information; (12) a Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) assigned to identify an individual rulemaking in the agenda and facilitate tracing further action on the issue; (13) whether the action is subject to the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act; and (14) whether the action is major under the congressional review provisions of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. If there is information that does not fit in the other categories, it will be included under a separate heading entitled "Additional Information."
For nonsignificant regulations issued routinely and frequently as a part of an established body of technical requirements (such as the Federal Aviation Administration's Airspace Rules), to keep those requirements operationally current, we only include the general category of the regulations, the identity of a contact office or official, and an indication of the expected number of regulations; we do not list individual regulations.
In the "Timetable" column, we use abbreviations to indicate the particular documents being considered. ANPRM stands for Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, SNPRM for Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and NPRM for Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Listing a future date in this column does not mean we have made a decision to issue a document; it is the earliest date on which we expect to make a decision on whether to issue it. In addition, these dates are based on current schedules. Information received subsequent to the issuance of this agenda could result in a decision not to take regulatory action or in changes to proposed publication dates. For example, the need for further evaluation could result in a later publication date; evidence of a greater need for the regulation could result in an earlier publication date.
Finally, a dot (¤) preceding an entry indicates that the entry appears in the agenda for the first time.
Request for Comments
General
Our agenda is intended primarily for the use of the public. Since its inception, we have made modifications and refinements that we believe provide the public with more helpful information, as well as make the agenda easier to use. We would like you, the public, to make suggestions or comments on how the agenda could be further improved.
Reviews
We also seek your suggestions on which of our existing regulations you believe need to be reviewed to determine whether they should be revised or revoked. We particularly draw your attention to the Department's review plan in Appendix D.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Department is especially interested in obtaining information on requirements that have a "significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities" and, therefore, must be reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. If you have any suggested regulations, please submit them to us, along with your explanation of why they should be reviewed.
In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, comments are specifically invited on regulations that we have targeted for review under section 610 of the Act. The phrase (Section 610 Review) appears at the end of the title for these reviews. Please see Appendix D for the Department's section 610 review plans.
Federalism
Executive Order 13132 requires us to develop an accountable process to ensure "meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications." "Policies that have federalism implications" are defined in the Executive Order to include regulations that have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, we encourage State and local governments to provide us with information about how the Department's rulemakings impact them.
Purpose
The Department is publishing this regulatory agenda in the Federal Register to share with interested members of the public the Department's preliminary expectations regarding its future regulatory actions. This should enable the public to be more aware of the Department's regulatory activity and should result in more effective public participation. This publication in the Federal Register does not impose any binding obligation on the Department or any of the offices within the Department with regard to any specific item on the agenda. Regulatory action, in addition to the items listed, is not precluded.
Issued in Washington, DC, on April 27, 2001.
Norman Y. Mineta, Secretary of Transportation.

Appendix D - Review Plans for Section 610 and Other Requirements
Part I - The Plan
General
The Department of Transportation has long recognized the importance of regularly reviewing its existing regulations to determine whether they need to be revised or revoked. Our 1979 Regulatory Policies and Procedures require such reviews. We also have responsibilities under E.O. 12866 ("Regulatory Planning and Review") and section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act to conduct such reviews. This will include the use of plain language techniques in new rules and to consider rewriting existing rules when we have the opportunity and resources permit. The Department is currently conducting a number of reviews of existing rules and is engaged in rulemaking actions resulting from these reviews.
Section 610 Review Plan
Section 610 requires that we conduct reviews of rules that (1) have been published within the last ten years and (2) have a "significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities" (SEIOSNOSE). It also requires that we publish in the Federal Register each year a list of any such rules that we will review during the next year. To better comply with section 610, the Department has updated its regulatory review plan published on June 29, 1981, to accomplish a more systematic review of all of its regulations. The Office of the Secretary and each of the Department's Operating Administrations (except for FMCSA) have a 10-year review plan. These reviews are in accordance with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Other Review Plans
All elements of the Department, except for the FMCSA and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), have also elected to use this 10-year plan process to comply with the review requirements of the Department's Regulatory Policies and Procedures, and Executive Order 12866. FMCSA and FAA are using different approaches, which are described in Part II to this Appendix.
Changes to the Review Plan
Some reviews may be conducted earlier than scheduled. For example, to the extent resources permit, the plain language reviews will be conducted more quickly. Other events, such as accidents, may result in the need to conduct earlier reviews of some rules. Other factors may also result in the need to make changes; for example, we may make changes in response to public comment on this plan or in response to a Presidentially mandated review. If there is any change to the review plan, we will note the change in the following Unified Agenda. For any section 610 review, we will provide the required notice prior to the review.
Part II - The Review Process
The Analysis
Generally, the agencies have divided their rules into 10 different groups and plan to analyze one group each year. For purposes of these reviews, a year will coincide with the fall-to-fall schedule for publication of the Agenda. Thus, Year 1 (1998) began in the fall of 1998 and ends in the fall of 1999; Year 2 (1999) begins in the fall of 1999 and ends in the fall of 2000; and so on. We request public comment on the timing of the reviews. For example, is there a reason for scheduling an analysis and review for a particular rule earlier than we have? Any comments concerning the plan or particular analyses can be submitted to the regulatory contacts listed in Appendix B, General Rulemaking Contact Persons.
Section 610 Review
The agency will analyze each of the rules in a given year's group to determine whether any rule has a SEIOSNOSE and, thus, requires review in accordance with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The level of analysis will, of course, depend on the nature of the rule and its applicability.
Publication of agencies' section 610 analyses list each fall in this Agenda provides the public with notice and an opportunity to comment consistent with the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. We request that public comments be submitted to us early in the analysis year concerning the small entity impact of the rules to help us in making our determinations.
In each October's Agenda, the agency will publish the results of the analyses it has completed during the previous year. For rules that had a negative finding on SEIOSNOSE, we will give a short explanation (e.g., "these rules only establish petition processes that have no cost impact" or "these rules do not apply to any small entities"). For parts, subparts or other discrete sections of rules that do have a SEIOSNOSE, we will announce that we will be conducting a formal section 610 review during the following 12 months. At this stage, we will add an entry to the Agenda in the prerulemaking section describing the review in more detail. We also will seek public comment on how best to lessen the impact of these rules and provide a name or docket to which public comments can be submitted. In some cases, the section 610 review may be part of another unrelated review of the rule. In such a case, we plan to clearly indicate which parts of the review are being conducted under section 610.
Other Reviews
The agency will also examine the specified rules to determine whether any other reasons exist for revising or revoking the rule or for rewriting the rule in plain language. In each October's Agenda, the agency will also publish information on the results of the examinations completed during the previous year.
FAA
The Federal Aviation Administration, in addition to reviewing its rules in accordance with the schedule below, has established a process by which the public is asked for its comments on which rules need review the most. Any information that the FAA receives in connection with its annual section 610 analyses would, of course, also be reviewed in the spirit of E.O. 12866. In addition, in response to a recommendation of the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security, the FAA has completed a review of all its existing regulations to identify those in need of rewriting as performance-based or plain language regulations. The agency also reviewed ongoing regulatory projects and proposals to identify additional candidates for revision. In all, the agency reviewed 68 parts of the CFR, containing 3,884 sections, appendices, and Special Federal Aviation Regulations. In addition to using plain language in its current and future regulations, the FAA intends to revise those regulations identified in its study when it has the opportunity and resources to do so.
FMCSA
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has underway a comprehensive, multiyear project to develop modern, uniform safety regulations that are up-to-date, clear, concise, easier to understand, and more performance oriented. The FMCSA has held 11 public outreach meetings, announced in the Federal Register, to solicit public involvement in this review; a total of 110 industry and government safety representatives participated in 14 one-day focus group sessions; over 2,000 comments have been received in the public docket so far.
On November 23, 1994, the FMCSA published a final rule removing obsolete and redundant regulations identified through this review. In addition, on June 18, 1998, the FMCSA published another final rule (63 FR 33254) removing and amending additional provisions of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations identified through zero-base review.
The FMCSA is developing a notice of proposed rulemaking that will propose a complete revision of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations implementing the results of the FMCSA's zero-base review of those regulations. The NPRM will include a complete reorganization of the safety regulations and a rewrite of those regulations using plain language and a question-and-answer format to enhance the clarity and understandability of those regulations. In addition, the notice will focus the regulations on safety while adopting a performance-based approach to the regulations and reducing the paperwork associated with compliance with the regulations. The FMCSA believes that this effort will produce regulations which are simpler to understand and to comply with, especially for small motor carriers. Because of these long-term, ongoing efforts, FMCSA is not currently reviewing these rules.
Part III- List of Pending Section 610 Reviews
The Agenda identifies the pending DOT Section 610 Reviews by inserting "(Section 610 Review)" after the title for the specific entry. Also, a Governmentwide list of section 610 reviews can be located in an index at the end of the Agenda. For further information on the pending reviews, see the Agenda entries.

14 CFR part 21- Certification procedures for products and parts
¤ The FAA reviewed this rule to determine if it could be revised or revoked to lessen the impact on small entities. Eleven sections (21.16, 21.21, 21.33, 21.35, 21.95, 21.97, 21.123, 21.125, 21.143, 21.157, and 21.183) were found to have a SEIOSNOSE. The agency found that no changes are warranted because these sections outline the minimum requirements, in terms of type designs, inspections, and tests, etc., necessary to demonstrate the airworthiness of aircraft and aircraft parts.

Federal-Aid Highway Program
The FHWA has adopted regulations in title 23 of the CFR, chapter I, related to the Federal-aid highway program. These regulations implement and carry out the provisions of Federal law relating to the administration of Federal aid for highways. The primary law authorizing Federal aid for highways is chapter 1 of title 23 of the USC. Section 145 of title 23 expressly provides that chapter 1 provides for a federally assisted State program. For this reason, the regulations adopted by the FHWA in title 23 of the CFR primarily relate to requirements that States must meet to receive Federal funds for the construction and other work related to highways.
Because the regulations in title 23 primarily relate to States, which are not defined as small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the FHWA believes that its regulations in title 23 do not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, with limited exceptions discussed below. The FHWA solicits public comment on this preliminary conclusion.
In title 23, part 657, "Certification of Size and Weight Enforcement," may have impacts on small governments or small businesses. The FHWA will publish a supplemental ANPRM to consider revisions to part 657. Public comment will be solicited specifically on whether and how part 657 may be revised to reduce burdens on small entities.
FHWA, jointly with the Federal Transit Administration, will be proposing revisions to the regulations currently codified at 23 CFR parts 450 and 771. These regulations will be issued in a new chapter IV of 23 CFR as "intermodal" rules and renumbered respectively as 23 CFR part 1410 (planning assistance and standards) and 23 CFR part 1420 and 1430 (environmental impact and related matters). In the course of developing the notice of proposed rulemaking for each of these regulations, the FHWA and FTA solicited comment on their potential for impact on small entities, including small governments. All comments will be analyzed accordingly and issues pertaining to the potential for impact will be addressed in the final regulations.
Development of these revised regulations represents part of the FHWA's efforts to implement the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), which reauthorizes Federal surface transportation programs. Additional implementation efforts under TEA-21 may offer further opportunities to reduce the burden of existing regulations on small entities, and comment on this possibility is requested.
