**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

The Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) is responsible for implementing regulations to issue safety permits for transporting certain hazardous materials in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq. The HM Safety Permit regulations (49 CFR part 385) require carriers to complete a

‘‘Combined Motor Carrier Identification Report and HM Permit Application’’ (Form MCS–150B). The HM Safety Permit regulations also require carriers to have a security program. As part of the HM Safety Permit regulations, carriers are required to develop and maintain route plans so that law enforcement officials can verify the correct location of the HM shipment. The FMCSA requires companies holding permits to develop a communications plan that allows for the periodic tracking of the shipment. This information covers the record of communications that includes the time of the call and location of the shipment. The records may be kept by either the driver ( e.g., recorded in the log book) or the company. These records must be kept, either physically or electronically, for at least six months at the company’s principal place of business or be readily available to employees at the company’s principal place of business.

Title: Hazardous Materials Safety Permits.

OMB Control Number: 2126–0030. Type of Request: Revision of a currently-approved information collection.

Respondents: 1,425 motor carriers that transport permitted HM and complete the Form MCS–150B.

Frequency: On occasion. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes. The communication between motor carriers and their drivers must take place at least two times per day and it is estimated that it will take 5 minutes to maintain a daily communication record for each driver.

Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 350,000 hours [4.2 million trips

× 5 minutes/60 minutes per record = 350,000].

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.

**ACTION :**  Notice and request for

comments.

**SUMMARY :**  In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information collection. In accordance with FAA Order JO 1030.4, ATO SysOps Services SMS Oversight, the FAA ATO System Operations Management, Safety Assurance Group (SAG) is conducting a comprehensive assessment of the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) Realignment Phase 1 (NRP–1) process to determine if unacceptable hazards exist within the National Airspace System (NAS). Essential to the assessment is a survey of airline and corporate pilots and dispatchers as well as airport operators and general aviation pilots. The SAG survey will be compared with results of a similar survey conducted in 2008 by the FAA Office of Safety (AJS).

**DATES :**  Written comments should be submitted by November 8, 2010.

Title: NOTAM Realignment User Survey.

Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this collection.

Type of Review: Clearance of a new information collection.

Background: Results of the SOSM SAG NOTAM Realignment Phase 1 (NRP–1) Assessment will be used to establish the status of identified hazards and ensure no new hazards have been introduced into the NAS. In addition to on-site visits, the SOSM SAG audit team has prepared three surveys mirroring those sent by the Safety Support and Independent Assessment (SSIA) as part of an investigation conducted in 2008. One survey is directed externally to general aviation pilots, airport operations staff and airline pilots and dispatchers. This Paperwork Reduction Act submission only concerns the external survey directed to users of the National Airspace System (NAS).

**Notice of Request To Revise a Currently-Approved Information**  **Collection Request: Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice; and request for

comments.

**SUMMARY :**  In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FMCSA announces its plan to submit the Information Collection Request (ICR) described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval and invites public comment. The FMCSA requests approval to revise an ICR entitled

‘‘Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP). ’’ The information required consists of grant application preparation, quarterly reports and electronic data documenting the results of driver/vehicle inspections performed by the States. This ICR is being revised due to an increase in the estimated number of State inspections that will be performed annually resulting in change to the estimated burden to perform this activity.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Title: Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program.

OMB Control Number: 2126–0010. Type of Request: Revision of a currently-approved information collection.

Respondents: State MCSAP lead agencies.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

52.

Estimated Time per Response: Grant application preparation: 79.5 hours each; quarterly report preparation: 8 hours each; and inspection and data upload: 1 minute each.

Expiration Date: February 28, 2011. Frequency of Response: Grant application: 1 annually; quarterly reports: 4 annually; and inspection and data upload: about 3.4 million annually.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 13,550 hours. The methods used to calculate the hours necessary to prepare grant applications, upload data, and prepare quarterly reports are based on interviews with the State and Federal personnel charged with those responsibilities. The information required to prepare the applications for grants and the subsequent reports is based on general information ordinarily maintained by the States in the general course of business, and only simple computations are required to determine burden hours. The grant applications and reports are submitted by the 50 States, 4 Territories, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. Each entity submits one grant request per year and four quarterly reports. About 3.4 million inspection reports are uploaded each

year.

The figures reflect only 20 percent of the total estimated hours to perform the activities, since MCSAP reimburses 80 percent of the eligible costs incurred in the administration of an approved plan as set forth in 49 CFR 350.303, 350.309 and 350.311. Labor hours are estimated and an average hourly rate for professional personnel is applied. The four territories of American Samoa, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands receive 100 percent Federal
