DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Transit Administration
Protecting Public Transportation
Operators From the Risk of Assault
Federal Transit Administration
(FTA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

This notice alerts transit
agencies to the need to address the risk
of transit operator assault when
identified through the processes
required under the Public
Transportation Agency Safety Plan
(PTASP) regulation. The PTASP
regulation requires transit agencies to
develop and implement Safety
Management Systems (SMS) and
associated processes for all elements of
a public transportation system. In cases
where transit agencies discover a risk of
operator assault, the PTASP regulation
requires agencies as part of their SMS
processes to develop methods or
processes to identify mitigations or
strategies necessary as a result of the
agency’s safety risk assessment. The
agency would use these methods or
processes to reduce the likelihood and
severity of occurrences of operator
assault, based on the agency’s analysis
of the risk.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
general information, contact PTASP_
QA@dot.gov. For program matters,
contact Adrianne Malasky, Office of
Transit Safety and Oversight, (202) 366–

are from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern,
Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays.
Section
3022(a) of the Fixing America’s Surface
Transportation (FAST) Act (Pub. L. 114–
94) directs FTA to issue a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on
protecting public transportation
operators from the risk of assault.
Section 3022(b) requires that FTA in the
proposed rulemaking consider the
different safety needs of drivers of
different modes, differences in operating
environments, the use of technology to
mitigate driver assault risks, existing
experience, and the impact of the rule
on future rolling stock procurements
and vehicles currently in revenue
service.
The recently promulgated PTASP
regulation, 49 CFR part 673 (83 FR
34418 (July 19, 2018)), addresses the
risk of transit operator assault and
makes issuing a separate NPRM on this
subject unnecessary. The PTASP
regulation requires transit agencies to
develop and implement SMS processes,
which include identifying safety
hazards, assessing the related safety
risks, and then establishing methods of
risk mitigation. Through these
processes, transit agencies may discover
various safety needs of transit workers,
such as the risk of operator assault,
based on their specific operating
environments. Where instances of
operator assault are identified, transit
agencies should, as required by the
PTASP regulation, take steps to identify
mitigations or strategies necessary to
reduce the likelihood and severity of
occurrences of operator assault. The
PTASP regulation itself is not included
in this notice; an electronic version may
be found on FTA’s website at
www.transit.dot.gov/PTASP.
In adopting SMS processes as part of
the PTASP regulation, FTA took into
account considerations consistent with
Section 3022(b) of the FAST Act,
because SMS requires steps tailored to
the needs of each operating
environment. The preamble to the
PTASP regulation referenced future
regulatory activities to address transit
operator assault. After considering
alternatives, FTA has determined that
the PTASP regulation is the best
approach to achieving the statutory
objective of protecting public
transportation operators from the risk of
assault, and that any additional
rulemaking would be redundant. This
document also serves to provide notice
of the termination of the associated

Abstract: Part 298 of Title 14 of the
Code of Federal Regulations,
Exemptions for Air Taxi Registration,
establishes a classification of air carriers
known as air taxi operators that offer ondemand passenger service. The
regulation exempts these small
operators from certain provisions of the
Federal statute to permit them to obtain
economic authority by filing a one-page,
front and back, OST Form 4507, Air
Taxi Operator Registration, and
Amendments under Part 298 of DOT’s
Regulations.
DOT expects to receive 200 new air
taxi registrations and 2,200 amended air
taxi registrations each year, resulting in
2,400 total respondents. Further, DOT
expects filers of new registrations to
take 1 hour to complete the form, while
it should only take 30 minutes to
prepare amendments to the form. Thus,
the total annual burden is expected to
be 1,300 hours.
Affected Public: U.S. air taxi
operators.
Number of Respondents: 2,400.
Frequency: On occasion.
Number of Responses: 2,400.
Total Annual Burden: 1,300 hours.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended;
and 49 CFR 1.48.

safety and congestion mitigation. The
Department seeks to gain a greater
understanding of industry leaders’
current and future investment strategies,
as well as potential considerations for
efficient use of spectrum that will foster
greater opportunities for some level of
interoperability and compatibility
moving forward.
DATES: Meeting: The meeting will be
held at U.S. DOT Headquarters, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC
20590, on Monday, June 3, 2019 from

registration and the availability of the
agenda can be found below in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.
Comments: The Department has
reopened the docket for comments
associated with this meeting, which will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department has reviewed the
comments that were recently submitted
under the Request for Comments (RFC)
on V2X Communications, DOT–OST–
2018–0210, and understands the desire
for greater stability on addressing the
complex issues surrounding spectrum
and use of the band. With over 75
connected vehicle projects in the U.S.
alone, 54 currently operational, there is
a need to identify a common path
forward that ensures current
deployments can continue without the
risk of loss of investment and/or
jeopardizing the intended safety and
mobility benefits due to deployment
delays.
