COOP is congressionally directed and represents a foundational meteorological network that has provided critical data via a volunteer network since 1890--the longest continuous record of weather stations in the country. To transition this historic network into a real-time observing program, the NWS aims to deploy commercial sensor technology, automate data collection to reduce volunteer burden, optimize the national footprint to address geographic data gaps, and leverage mesonet data as a key network augmentation tool. This Request for Comment (RFC) specifically elicits feedback on how stakeholders currently utilize COOP data, the utility of shifting to sub-hourly reporting, and considerations for network modernization and optimization. By gathering these insights, the NWS intends to shape a more agile, technologically advanced network that efficiently meets evolving operational and stakeholder needs. This RFC is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a request for proposals or solicitation for a contract or grant award, nor does it obligate the Government in any way. A complementary, forthcoming RFC in https://Sam.gov will be the appropriate venue for offering any voluntary information regarding potential commercial solutions to COOP data collection.","document_number":"2026-09099","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/07/2026-09099/request-for-comments-on-the-national-weather-service-cooperative-observing-program-coop","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-05-07/pdf/2026-09099.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-09099.pdf?1778071533","publication_date":"2026-05-07","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","id":361,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/361","parent_id":54,"slug":"national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration"}],"excerpts":"provided critical <span class=\"match\">data</span> via a volunteer network since 1890—the longest continuous record of weather stations in the country.

(USDOT #3441156)","type":"Notice","abstract":"The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA or the Agency) publishes its decision to deny an application from Waymo LLC (Waymo, USDOT #3000336) and Aurora Operations, Inc. (Aurora, USDOT #3441156) (together, Applicants), requesting an exemption from certain Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) related to requirements to place specific types of warning devices at prescribed locations around commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) stopped on the traveled portion or shoulder of a highway for any cause other than necessary traffic stops and requirements that lamps on CMVs be steady burning. Applicants requested that they and \"other similarly situated companies\" be permitted to instead use \"Cab-Mounted Warning Beacons\" (including \"variants\" and \"any configuration of similar effectiveness\") when the CMV is operated by a Level 4 Automated Driving System (ADS) either without a human on board or with a human on board when testing the warning beacons. Safety is FMCSA's highest priority. The Agency embraces USDOT's Innovation Principles, including adapting as technology changes and supporting technologies that further our policy goals. While the application and the public comments show promise for alternative warning devices to provide safety benefits for warning motorists of a stopped CMV under certain conditions, the present application does not demonstrate how Applicants or other proposed exempted parties would ensure an equivalent or greater level of safety than would be achieved absent the exemption. The application does not provide sufficient details about proposed alternative devices, and the limited data presented does not support a likely equivalent level of safety for a national, industry-wide exemption for all companies operating autonomous CMVs. If Applicants can reasonably address the reasons for the denial, Applicants may resubmit an exemption application.","document_number":"2024-30860","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/27/2024-30860/parts-and-accessories-necessary-for-safe-operation-application-for-an-exemption-from-waymo-llc-usdot","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-27/pdf/2024-30860.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-30860.pdf?1735220725","publication_date":"2024-12-27","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration","name":"Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration","id":181,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-motor-carrier-safety-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/181","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-motor-carrier-safety-administration"}],"excerpts":"commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) stopped on the traveled portion or shoulder of a highway for any cause other than <span class=\"match\">necessary</span> traffic stops and requirements that lamps on CMVs be steady burning.

An AEB system uses various sensor technologies and sub-systems that work together to detect when the vehicle is in a crash imminent situation, to automatically apply the vehicle brakes if the driver has not done so, or to apply more braking force to supplement the driver's braking. This final rule specifies that an AEB system must detect and react to an imminent crash with both a lead vehicle or a pedestrian. This final rule fulfills a mandate under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) directing the Department to promulgate a rule to require that all passenger vehicles be equipped with an AEB system. The purpose of this final rule is to reduce the number of deaths and injuries that result from crashes in which drivers do not apply the brakes or fail to apply sufficient braking power to avoid or mitigate a crash, and to reduce the consequences of such crashes.","document_number":"2024-09054","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/05/09/2024-09054/federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standards-automatic-emergency-braking-systems-for-light-vehicles","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-05-09/pdf/2024-09054.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-09054.pdf?1715172314","publication_date":"2024-05-09","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"National Highway Traffic Safety Administration","name":"National Highway Traffic Safety Administration","id":345,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-highway-traffic-safety-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/345","parent_id":492,"slug":"national-highway-traffic-safety-administration"}],"excerpts":"fatalities), which increased to 6,272 (17 percent of all fatalities) in 2019.
