Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Renewal of an Approved 

Information Collection: Road Test 

Requirement 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), Department 

of Transportation (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 

renew the ICR titled ‘‘Road Test 

Requirement.’’ This ICR estimates the 

information burden incurred by motor 

carriers associated with the road test 

requirements in two circumstances. The 

first is when the motor carrier hires a 

new driver. The second is when the 

road test is required for individuals 

physically qualified under the Agency’s 

alternative vision standard for the first 

time. In each circumstance, motor 

carriers are required to rate the 

performance of the driver during the test 

on a road test form provided by the 

motor carrier. If the road test is 

successfully completed, the motor 

carrier completes a certificate of driver’s 

road test and provides a copy to the 

driver. The motor carrier retains the 

original signed road test form and the 

original, or a copy, of the signed 

certificate in the driver qualification 

file.

Background 

This ICR supports the DOT strategic 

goal of safety. Public interest in highway 

safety dictates that employers hire 

drivers who can safely operate CMVs 

amid the various physical and mental 

demands of truck and bus driving. 

Subject to some exceptions, § 391.31 

requires a motor carrier to conduct a 

road test when the motor carrier hires a 

new driver. The motor carrier is 

required to rate the performance of the 

driver during the test on a road test form 

provided by the motor carrier. If the 

road test is successfully completed, the 

motor carrier completes a certificate of 

driver’s road test and provides a copy to 

the driver. The motor carrier retains the 

original signed road test form and the 

original, or a copy, of the signed 

certificate in the driver qualification 

file. Motor carriers may maintain the 

required road test form and certificate 

electronically or via paper copy. The 

information collected by the motor 

carrier is needed to document the motor 

carrier conducted the road test as 

required and determined the driver can 

operate a CMV safely. The information 

also assists Federal and State safety 

investigators in determining that motor 

carriers fulfilled their regulatory 

requirements when deciding who may 

drive CMVs on their behalf and in 

assessing the qualifications of drivers. 

The ICR estimates the informationcollection burden incurred by motor 

carriers associated with the § 391.31 

road test in two circumstances. The first 

is when the road test is required by 

§ 391.31 (IC–1); the second is when the 

road test is required as part of the 

alternative vision standard in § 391.44 

(IC–2). However, individuals are 

excepted from the road test requirement 

if they have 3 years of intrastate or 

specific excepted interstate CMV 

driving experience with the vision 

deficiency, hold a valid Federal vision 

exemption, or are medically certified 

under § 391.64(b). Most of the motor

carrier burden hours and cost for the 

information collection relates to IC–1. 

Renewal of This Information Collection 

The current burden estimate 

associated with this ICR, approved by 

OMB on March 28, 2022, is 273,888 

hours. The expiration date of the current 

ICR is March 31, 2025. Through this ICR 

renewal, the Agency requests an 

increase in the burden hours from 

273,888 hours to 584,408 hours. The 

increase is the result of an increase in 

the estimated driver population as well 

as an increase in the expected industry 

growth rate for drivers from 2022 to 

2032.

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 performance of 

FMCSA’s 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
