Valley Creek culverts. To meet fiscal 

constraint requirements, the project 

would be programmed in a phased 

manner. These proposed safety 

improvements are not anticipated to 

result in significant impacts on the 

human or natural environment. 

If, at a future time, FHWA determines 

that the proposed safety and congestion 

improvements are likely to have a 

significant impact on the environment, 

a new NOI to prepare an EIS will be 

published. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related are identified, comments or 

questions regarding this action to 

rescind the NOI are invited from all 

interested parties. These comments or 

questions should be directed to FHWA 

or ITD at the addresses provided above.

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; New Information Collection 

Request: Commercial Driver Individual 

Differences Study 

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. The FMCSA 

requests approval of a new ICR that is 

associated with a study that will be 

conducted by a research contractor to 

investigate the differences among the 

characteristics of individual commercial 

drivers. This information collection will 

aid FMCSA in developing future safety 

initiatives by examining a wide array of 

driver and situational factors to 

determine if they are associated with 

increased or decreased crash and 

incident involvement. On October 3, 

2011, FMCSA published a Federal 

Register notice allowing for a 60-day 

comment period on the ICR. Five 

comments were received. 

DATES: Please send your comments by 

April 13, 2012. OMB must receive your 

comments by this date in order to act 

quickly on the ICR. 

ADDRESSES: All comments should 

reference Federal Docket Management 

System (FDMS) Docket Number 

FMCSA–2012–0012. 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 (202) 395–6974, or mailed to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Commercial Driver Individual 

Differences Study. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–XXXX. 

Type of Request: New information 

collection. 

Respondents: Commercial motor 

vehicle (CMV) drivers and fleet 

managers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

21,020. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

estimated average time per responses 

are as follows: 1 hour, 5 minutes for 

paper and 1 hour for electronic Form 

MCSA–5863, ‘‘Commercial Motor 

Vehicle Driver Survey,’’ submissions; 35 

minutes for paper and 30 minutes for 

electronic Form MCSA–5864, ‘‘FollowUp Survey of Recent Life Experiences,’’ 

submissions; 75 minutes for paper and 

70 minutes for electronic Driver Survey 

and Job Descriptive Index from the 

Follow-Up Survey submission; and 10 

minutes for the Form MCSA–5865, 

‘‘Fleet Managers Survey,’’ submissions. 

Expiration Date: N/A. This is a new 

information collection request. 

Frequency of Response: This 

information collection will be a single, 

nonrecurring event for 16,000 CMV 

driver participants and 20 fleet 

managers. For at least 5,000 CMV driver 

participants, the information collection 

will occur twice. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

9,536 hours. 8,822 hours for CMV driver 

participants: [16,800 CMV drivers 

completing paper Driver Survey × 65 

minutes + 4,200 CMV drivers 

completing electronic Driver Survey × 1 

hour + 4,000 drivers completing paper 

Follow-Up Survey × 35 minutes per 

driver/60 minutes + 1,000 drivers 

completing electronic Follow-Up 

Survey × 30 minutes per driver/60 

minutes + 800 CMV drivers completing 

paper Driver Survey and Job Descriptive 

Index × 75 minutes per driver/60 

minutes + 200 CMV drivers completing 

paper Driver Survey and Job Descriptive 

Inde× × 70 minutes per driver/60 

minutes = 26,466 hours/3 years = 8,822 

hours] + 714 hours for Carrier 

Operations: [20 participating carriers × 2 

hours to learn about and agree to 

participation + 40 carrier managers 

completing IRB training × 2 hours + 20 

Managers recruiting and handling data 

collection of 20,000 respondents × 83 

hours + 20 Managers completing Fleet 

Manager Survey × 10 minutes + Carrier 

managers delivering monthly crash 

reports to VTTI (20 carriers × 36 

months) × 30 minutes/60 minutes = 

2,143/3 years = 714 hours]. 8,822 hours 

for CMV driver participants + 714 hours 

for Carriers Operations = 9,536 hours. 

Background: The purpose of this 

study is to identify, verify, quantify, and 

prioritize commercial driver risk factors. 

Primarily, these are personal factors 

such as demographic characteristics, 

medical conditions, personality traits, 

and performance capabilities. Risk 

factors may also include work 

environmental conditions, such as 

carrier operations type. The study will 

identify risk factors by linking the 

characteristics of individual drivers 

with their driving records, especially 

the presence or absence of DOT 

reportable crashes. 

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 FMCSA to perform its 

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.
