[Docket No. FMCSA–2014–0189] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Revision of an Approved 

Information Collection: Hours of 

Service (HOS) of Drivers Regulations 

AGENCY: 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 its 

review and approval and invites public 

comment. FMCSA requests approval to 

revise and extend an ICR entitled, 

‘‘Hours of Service (HOS) of Drivers 

Regulations.’’ The HOS rules require 

most commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers to maintain on the CMV a record 

of duty status (RODS) current to the last 

change in duty status. The RODS is 

critical to FMCSA’s safety mission 

because it helps roadside enforcement 

officials determine if CMV drivers are 

complying with the HOS rules limiting 

driver on-duty and driving time and 

requiring periodic off-duty time. The 

information helps FMCSA protect the 

public by reducing the number of tired 

CMV drivers on the highways. 

DATES: Please send your comments by 

October 14, 2014. OMB must receive 

your comments by this date in order to 

act on the ICR. 

ADDRESSES: All comments should 

reference Federal Docket Management 

System (FDMS) Docket Number FMCSA 

2014–0189. Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments on 

the proposed information collection to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget. Comments should be addressed 

to the attention of the Desk Officer, 

Department of Transportation/Federal 

Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 

and sent via electronic mail to oira_

submission@omb.eop.gov, or faxed to

5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal Holidays. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Hours of Service (HOS) of 

Drivers Regulations. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0001. 

Type of Request: Revision of an 

information collection. 

Respondents: Motor Carriers of 

Property and Passengers, Drivers of 

CMVs. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3.17 million (2.84 million CMV drivers 

+ 0.33 million motor carriers). 

Estimated Time per Response: CMV 

driver using paper RODS: 11 minutes. 

CMV driver using technology: 2 

minutes. Motor carrier: 3 minutes. 

Expiration Date: 12/31/2014. 

Frequency of Response: Drivers: 240 

days per year; Motor Carriers: 240 days 

per year. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

106.89 million hours. 

Background: Statutory authority for 

regulating the HOS of drivers operating 

CMVs in interstate commerce is derived 

from 49 U.S.C. 31136 and 31502. The 

penalty provisions are located at 49 

U.S.C. 521, 522 and 526, as amended. 

The rule is codified at 49 CFR 395.8. 

The FMCSRs also state: 

‘‘No driver shall operate a commercial 

motor vehicle, and a commercial motor 

carrier shall not require or permit a driver to 

operate a commercial motor vehicle, while 

the driver’s ability or alertness is so 

impaired, or so likely to become impaired, 

through fatigue, illness, or any other cause, 

as to make it unsafe for him/her to begin or 

continue to operate the commercial motor 

vehicle’’ (49 CFR 392.3). 

The FMCSA regulates the amount of 

time a CMV driver may drive or 

otherwise be on duty, in order to ensure 

that adequate time is available to the 

driver for rest. A driver must accurately 

record his or her duty status (driving, on 

duty not driving, off duty, sleeper berth) 

at all points during the 24-hour period 

designated by the motor carrier (49 CFR 

395.8(a)(1)). This record of duty status 

(RODS) must be made on a specified 

grid (Section 395.8(g)). The term 

‘‘logbook’’ is often used in the industry 

to denote the collection of the most 

recent RODS of the driver. A driver 

must have the RODS for the previous 7 

consecutive days in the CMV at all 

times (Section 395.8(k)(2)). The RODS 

must be submitted to the motor carrier 

along with any supporting documents, 

such as fuel receipts and toll tickets, 

that could assist in verifying the 

accuracy of entries on the RODS. The 

HOS rules do not require motor carriers 

to submit this information to FMCSA. 

However, motor carriers must retain 

these records for a minimum of 6 

months from the date of receipt and 

make them available to enforcement 

officials upon request (Section 

395.8(k)(1)). The HOS rules provide 

three methods of recording driver duty 

status: 

(1) Paper RODS: This grid form 

requires the driver to graph time and 

location on a paper record over a 24- 

hour period (Section 395.8(g)). It must 

be present on the CMV in the absence 

of a regulatory exception. 

(2) Time Record: ‘‘Short haul’’ CMV 

drivers do not have to maintain a RODS 

onboard the vehicle if their motor 

carrier maintains a time record showing 

for each duty day when driver reported 

for duty, when he or she was released 

from duty, and the total hours on duty 

(Section 395.1(e)). 

(3) Automatic On-Board Recording 

Device (AOBRD): An electronic record is 

permitted if it is created and maintained 

by an AOBRD as defined by Section 

395.2. The record must include all the 

information that would appear on a 

paper log, and the driver or carrier must 

be capable of producing this 

information upon demand. 

On March 28, 2014, the Agency 

published a supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking proposing rules 

that would require motor carriers to use 

on-board technology to record their 

HOS regulations, and seeking public 

comment on them (79 FR 17656). This 

rulemaking does not affect this ICR 

because compliance with the final rule, 

when published, will not be required 

until after the 3-year timeframe of this 

PRA estimate. 

As a condition of receiving certain 

federal grants, States agree to adopt and 

enforce the FMCSRs, including the HOS
