Notice of Request for Comments on 

New Information Collection: Survey of 

Medical Examiners Who Certify the 

Physical Qualifications of Commercial 

Motor Vehicle (CMV) Drivers 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice; request for information. 

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. The ICR describes 

a proposed collection activity and its 

expected cost and burden. The Federal 

Register notice allowing for a 60-day 

comment period on the ICR was 

published on June 19, 2006 (71 FR 

35324). Four comments were received 

in response to the notice. Two 

individuals supported the proposed 

information collection and two 

commented on matters outside of the 

scope of the proposed information 

collection. These comments are 

addressed in the ICR that will be 

submitted to OMB. 

DATES: Please send your comments by 

May 2, 2007. OMB must receive your 

comments by this date in order to act 

quickly on the ICR.

15754 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 62 / Monday, April 2, 2007 / Notices 

Respondents: Medical examiners: 

Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs), 

Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs), Doctors of 

Osteopathy (DOs), Medical Doctors 

(MDs), and Physician Assistants (PAs) 

who are currently performing FMCSA 

physical examinations of CMV drivers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

4,300 respondents [4,000 respondents 

for the survey + 300 respondents (150 

medical examiners + 150 drivers per onsite observation) = 4,300 respondents]. 

Estimated Time per Response: 30 

minutes to complete the survey and 5 

minutes each for the medical examiner 

and driver to complete the observation 

consent forms. 

Expiration Date: N/A. This is a new 

information collection. 

Frequency of Response: This is a onetime survey. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

2,025 hours. The estimated annual 

burden is 2,000 hours for the 

completion of the survey based on the 

following requirement for statistical 

significance: 800 responses from each of 

at least five of the medical examiner 

professional categories; [4,000 

respondents per survey × 30 minutes/60 

minutes per respondent = 2,000 hours]. 

Observation consent forms—The 

estimated annual burden is 25 hours for 

the completion of the observation 

consent forms based on the following 

requirement for statistical significance: 

[300 respondents (150 medical 

examiners + 150 drivers) × 5 minutes/ 

60 minutes per on-site observation = 25 

hours]. The estimated total annual 

burden is 2,025 hours [2,000 hours for 

completion of the survey + 25 hours for 

completion of the observation consent 

forms = 2,025 hours]. 

Background 

FMCSA estimates that there are 

approximately four to five million active 

interstate drivers subject to FMCSA’s 

medical standards. Interstate CMV 

drivers are required to have a medical 

examination every two years at a 

minimum or more frequently at the 

discretion of the medical examiner. A 

medical certificate is typically valid for 

two years after the date of examination, 

so it is estimated that a minimum of two 

to three million medical examinations 

are conducted each year. In the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA-LU) (Pub. L. 109–59, 

119 Stat. 1144; August 10, 2005) 

Congress supports comprehensive 

improvements in the FMCSA medical 

program, including improving the 

quality of the interstate CMV driver 

physical qualification examination. 

There has been no research to date that 

captures the decisionmaking and 

performance of medical examiners who 

determine the physical qualifications of 

CMV drivers operating throughout the 

United States. In addition, there has 

been no systematic consideration of 

medical examiner perceptions of 

difficulties or uncertainties associated 

with the examination process. 

A Working Integrated Product Team 

(WIPT) of medical examiner peers 

experienced in conducting CMV driver 

physical qualification examinations will 

review the methodology and materials 

for the study, and data gained from 150 

direct observations of physical 

examinations of CMV drivers. Results of 

the Medical Examiner Performance 

Study would ultimately be used to 

develop recommendations for 

improving the overall physical 

qualification process and achieve 

FMCSA’s goals of reducing crash rates, 

injuries, and fatalities involving large 

trucks and buses. 

This initiative is separate from the 

earlier National Registry of Certified 

Medical Examiner survey announced on 

September 29, 2005 (70 FR 56964), the 

primary intent of which is to identify 

those tasks most critical to competent 

job performance via a role delineation 

study. 

Public Comments Invited: We 

particularly request comments on: The 

necessity of the collection of 

information for FMCSA to meet its goal 

of reducing truck and bus crashes and 

its usefulness to this goal; the accuracy 

of the estimate of the burden of the 

information collection; ways to enhance 

the quality, utility and clarity of the 

information collected; and ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

using automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology.

OMB Approval No. 2138–0018 

Title: Report of Passengers Denied 

Confirmed Space. 

Form No.: BTS Form 251. 

Type Of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Large certificated and 

foreign air carriers. 

Number of Respondents: 100. 

Number of Responses: 400 (annual). 

Total Annual Burden: 1,670 hours. 

Needs and Uses: BTS Form 251 is a 

one-page report on the number of 

passengers denied boarding (voluntarily 

and involuntarily), whether the bumped 

passengers were provided alternate 

transportation and/or compensation, 

and the amount of the payment. U.S. 

and foreign air carriers that operate 

scheduled passenger service with large 

aircraft (over 60-seats) must submit 

Form 251. In addition, carriers report 

data from inbound international flights 

because the protections of 14 CFR Part 

250 Oversales do not apply to these 

flights. The report allows the 

Department to monitor the effectiveness 

of its oversales rule and take 

enforcement action when necessary. 

While the involuntarily denied-boarding 

rate has decrease from 4.38 per 10,000 

passengers in 1980 to 1.04 for the nine 

months ended September 2006, the rate
