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.

Federal Aviation Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of a New Approval of 

Information Collection: NOTAM 

Realignment User Survey 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

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).

[Docket No. FMCSA–2010–0246] 

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. 

DATES: We must receive your comments 

on or before November 8, 2010.

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
