SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration

Title: National Driver Register

Reporting Requirement for 23 CFR part

1327.

Type of Request: Reinstatement, with

change, of a previously approved

collection for which approval has

expired.

Form Number: N/A.

OMB Control Number: 2127–0001.

Affected Public: The 51 respondents

are the State driver licensing agencies,

including the District of Columbia.

Abstract: The National Driver Register

Act of 1982 (Pub.L. 97–364), as

amended, mandates the Secretary of

Transportation to establish and

maintain a National Driver Register to

assist chief driver licensing officials of

participating states in exchanging

information about the motor vehicle

driving records of individuals. The Act

requires the chief driver licensing

official of each participating state to

submit a report to the Secretary of each

individual who is denied a motor

vehicle operator’s license by that State

for cause; whose motor vehicle

operator’s license is revoked,

suspended, or canceled by that State for

cause; or who is convicted under the

laws of that State of any of the following

motor vehicle-related offenses or

comparable offenses: (a) Operating a

motor vehicle while under the influence

of, or impaired by, alcohol or a

controlled substance; (b) a traffic

violation arising in connection with a

fatal traffic accident, reckless driving, or

racing on the highways; (c) failing to

give aid or provide identification when

involved in an accident resulting in

death or personal injury; (d) perjury or

knowingly making a false affidavit or

statement to officials about activities

governed by a law or regulation on the

operation of a motor vehicle. The Act

also requires the chief driver licensing

officials of participating states to check

the NDR on all first time aboveminimum age driver license applicants

in their states.

The Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety

Act of 1986 requires the states to check

the NDR for all applicants for

Commercial Drivers Licenses.

Description of the need for the

information and proposed use of the

information—The purpose of the NDR,

and thus this information collection

activity, is to prevent the issuance of

driver’s licenses to problem drivers in

order to enhance traffic safety. Through

amendments to the NDR Act, the

activity also serves to prevent the

certification of airline pilots, merchant

mariners, locomotive operators, and

individuals employed as motor vehicle

operators if they are problem drivers.

The information will be used by

NHTSA in exercising its statutory

authority to operate the NDR. Without

this information, states could issue

licenses to individuals who are

suspended or revoked in other states, or

could issue a duplicate license to an

individual who is licensed in another

state allowing them to spread their

violations over a number of licenses.

Annual Estimated Burden: 1977

burden hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Office of Management and

Budget, 725–17th Street, NW.,
