77940 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 14, 2010 / Notices 

Interstate motor carriers are required to 

maintain an Accident Register 

consisting of specified information 

about each accident involving their 

commercial motor vehicles. The 

information for each accident must 

include, at a minimum, the following 

elements: Date of accident, city or town 

in which or most near where the 

accident occurred, the State in which 

the accident occurred, driver name, 

number of injuries, number of fatalities, 

and whether hazardous materials, other 

than fuel spilled from the fuel tanks of 

motor vehicles involved in the accident, 

were released. In addition, the register 

must contain copies of all accident 

reports required by State or other 

governmental entities or insurers. Motor 

carriers must maintain the required 

information in the Accident Register for 

3 years after the date of the accident. 

This ICR strengthens FMCSA’s ability 

to assess motor carrier safety 

performance. These assessments enable 

FMCSA to direct its enforcement 

resources to the motor carriers with the 

weakest safety records, helping those 

carriers prevent accidents and reduce 

their severity. 

On February 8, 2008, OMB approved 

FMCSA’s estimate for this ICR of 32,040 

annual burden hours and established an 

expiration date for this ICR of February 

28, 2011. Today, FMCSA announces its 

plan to request that OMB approve 

revision of this estimate to 22,500 

annual burden hours. 

Definitions: Each of these definitions 

can be found at 49 CFR 390.5: ‘‘Motor 

carrier’’: Any person engaged in a 

business affecting interstate commerce 

who owns or leases a commercial motor 

vehicle in connection with that 

business, or assigns employees to 

operate it. ‘‘Commercial motor vehicle’’: 

A self-propelled or towed vehicle used 

on the highways in interstate commerce 

to transport passengers or property, if 

the vehicle—(1) Has a gross vehicle 

weight rating or gross combination 

weight rating, or gross vehicle weight or 

gross combination weight of 10,001 

pounds, whichever is greater; or (2) Is 

designed or used to transport more than 

8 passengers (including the driver) for 

compensation; or (3) Is designed or used 

to transport more than 15 passengers, 

including the driver, and is not used to 

transport passengers for compensation; 

or (4) Is used in transporting material 

found by the Secretary of Transportation 

to be hazardous under section 5103 of 

title 49, United States Code, and 

transported in a quantity requiring 

placarding under regulations prescribed 

by the Secretary under section 5103. 

‘‘Accident’’: an occurrence involving a 

commercial motor vehicle operating on 

a highway in interstate or intrastate 

commerce which results in: (i) A 

fatality; (ii) bodily injury to a person 

who, as a result of the injury, receives 

medical treatment away from the scene 

of the accident; or (iii) one or more 

motor vehicles incurring disabling 

damage as a result of the accident, 

requiring the motor vehicle(s) to be 

transported away from the scene by a 

tow truck or other motor vehicle. The 

term ‘‘accident’’ does not include: (i) An 

occurrence involving only boarding or 

alighting from a stationary motor 

vehicle or (ii) an occurrence involving 

only the loading or unloading of cargo.

coordination with the States, ‘‘shall 

update and publish periodically a list of 

current effective hazardous materials 

highway route designations.’’ 

Under 49 CFR 397.73, the FMCSA 

Administrator has the authority to 

request that each State and Indian tribe, 

through its routing agency, provide 

information identifying hazardous 

materials designations within their 

jurisdictions. That information is 

collected and consolidated by FMCSA 

and published annually, in whole or as 

updates, in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Request for Revocation of 

Authority. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0018. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently-approved information 

collection. 

Form Number: OCE–46. 

Respondents: Motor carriers, freight 

forwarders and property brokers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,700. 

Estimated Time per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Expiration Date: February 28, 2011. 

Form: OCE–46. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 925 

hours [3,700 annual Form OCE–46 filers 

× 15 minutes/60 minutes per filing = 

925]. 

Background: Title 49 of the United 

States Code (U.S.C.) authorizes the 

Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) 

to promulgate regulations governing the 

registration of for-hire motor carriers of 

regulated commodities (49 U.S.C. 

13902), surface transportation freight 

forwarders (49 U.S.C. 13903), and 

property brokers (49 U.S.C. 13904). 

Under 49 U.S.C. 13905(c), each 

registration is effective from the date 

specified. Section 13905(d) grants the 

Secretary the authority to amend or 

revoke a registration at the registrant’s 

request. On complaint, or on the 

Secretary’s own initiative, the Secretary 

may also suspend, amend, or revoke any 

part of the registration of a motor 

carrier, broker, or freight forwarder for 

willful failure to comply with the 

regulations, an order of the Secretary, or 

a condition of its registration. 

Form OCE–46 is used by 

transportation entities to voluntarily 

apply for revocation of their registration 

authority in whole or in part. FMCSA 

uses the form to seek information 

concerning the registrant’s docket 

number, name and address, and the 

reasons for the revocation request. This 

ICR is being revised due to an increase 

in the estimated number of annual 

respondents from 3,250 to 3,700 along 

with a new notarization fee. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

revised information collection request, 

including: (1) The necessity and 

usefulness of the information collection 

for FMCSA to meet its goal in reducing 

truck crashes; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burdens; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, usefulness, and clarity of 

the collected information; and (4) ways 

to minimize the collection burden 

without reducing the quality of the 

collected information. The agency will 

summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection.
