SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The purpose of this 

study is to quantify and assess 

consumer awareness of the HHG 

Consumer Information Program. The 

study will determine the interstate 

moving public’s recognition or 

knowledge of the Program’s activities or 

messages, such as the ‘‘Protect Your 

Move’’ campaign. The data will be 

collected through a telephone survey. 

Results of the study will not be 

published, but used for internal research 

purposes by FMCSA in developing 

future HHG campaign materials, 

identifying target audiences, and 

determining distribution strategies to 

provide better consumer information to 

the public. 

Title: Household Goods Consumer 

Information Program Assessment Study. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0045. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently-approved ICR. 

Respondents: Public/consumers who 

have moved household goods from one 

State to a different State in the U.S. 

(Interstate Household Goods Shippers). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,500. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

estimated average burden per response 

is 15 minutes. 

Expiration Date: July 31, 2011. 

Frequency of Response: This 

information collection will occur twice 

within the three year effective period of 

the OMB clearance; once in the initial 

year of approval and again two years 

following the initial data collection. 

Estimated Average Total Annual 

Burden: 250 hours [1,500 respondents × 

15 minutes/60 minutes per response × 2 

telephone interviews/3 year ICR 

approval timeframe = 250]. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the performance of 

FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of 

the estimated burden; (3) ways for 

FMCSA to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the collected 

information; and (4) ways that the 

burden could be minimized without 

reducing the quality of the collected 

information. The agency will summarize 

or include your comments in the request 

for OMB’s clearance of this information 

collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Motor Carrier Safety Advisory 

Committee 

Section 4144 of the Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) 

(Pub. L. 109–59, 119 Stat. 1144, Aug. 10, 

2005) required the Secretary of 

Transportation to establish a Motor 

Carrier Safety Advisory Committee. The 

Committee provides advice and 

recommendations to the FMCSA 

Administrator on motor carrier safety 

programs and regulations and operates 

in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 

2). 

Patterns of Safety Violations Task 

(MCSAC Task 11–01) 

Section 4133 of SAFETEA–LU allows 

the Secretary to suspend, amend, or 

revoke any part of a motor carrier’s 

registration if the Secretary finds that 

any individual, while serving as an 

officer of that motor carrier, engages or 

has engaged in a pattern or practice of 

avoiding compliance, or masking or 

otherwise concealing noncompliance, 

with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations and/or Hazardous Materials 

Regulations. Section 4133 defines an 

officer as ‘‘an owner, director, chief 

executive officer, chief financial officer, 

safety director, vehicle maintenance 

supervisor, and driver supervisor of a 

motor carrier, regardless of title attached 

to these functions, and any person, 

however designated, exercising 

controlling influence over the 

operations of a motor carrier.’’ 

Under MCSAC Task 11–01, FMCSA 

requests that the Committee identify 

concepts and ideas the Agency should 

consider in developing standards for 

Patterns of Safety Violations by Motor 

Carrier management to assist the Agency 

with implementing the requirements of 

section 4113 of SAFETEA–LU. In 

addition to providing suggestions on 

definitions and standards of what 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 43 / Friday, March 4, 2011 / Notices 12215 

constitutes a pattern of safety violations, 

the Committee is encouraged to offer 

suggestions to the Administrator 

regarding: (1) Which company officials 

should be included under the definition 

of ‘‘officer,’’ and (2) how to ensure that 

officers responsible for safety violations 

or their concealment are subjected to 

appropriate penalties and sanctions 

under the new system mandated by 

SAFETEA–LU. In developing its 

recommendations, the MCSAC should 

consider principles of due process, 

including whether additional 

enforcement and legal staff resources are 

needed to address the volume of cases 

and appeals. 

The MCSAC began deliberations on 

these issues at its December 2010 

meeting and will complete action on the 

Patterns of Safety Violations task during 

the forthcoming meeting. Following the 

meeting, which may include 

presentations by experts, the Committee 

anticipates completion of a letter report 

to the Administrator.

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Applications; Vision 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of renewal of 

exemptions; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its 

decision to renew the exemptions from 

the vision requirement in the Federal

individuals. FMCSA has statutory 

authority to exempt individuals from 

the vision requirement if the 

exemptions granted will not 

compromise safety. The Agency has 

concluded that granting these 

exemption renewals will provide a level 

of safety that is equivalent to, or greater 

than, the level of safety maintained 

without the exemptions for these 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers.

23, 2011. Comments must be received

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

FMCSA may renew an exemption from 

the vision requirements in 49 CFR

absent such exemption.’’ The procedures 

for requesting an exemption (including 

renewals) are set out in 49 CFR part 381.
