[Docket No. FMCSA–2014–0189] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Revision of an Approved 

Information Collection: Hours of 

Service (HOS) of Drivers Regulations 

AGENCY: 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 its 

review and approval and invites public 

comment. The FMCSA requests 

approval to revise and extend an ICR 

entitled, ‘‘Hours of Service (HOS) of 

Drivers Regulations.’’ The HOS rules 

require most commercial motor vehicle 

(CMV) drivers to maintain on the CMV 

a record of duty status (RODS) current 

to the last change in duty status. The 

RODS is critical to FMCSA’s safety 

mission because it helps roadside 

enforcement officials determine if CMV 

drivers are complying with the HOS 

rules limiting driver on-duty and 

driving time and requiring periodic offduty time. The information helps 

FMCSA protect the public by reducing 

the number of tired CMV drivers on the 

highways. 

DATES: We must receive your comments 

on or before August 25, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Statutory authority for regulating the 

HOS of drivers operating CMVs in 

interstate commerce is derived from 49 

U.S.C. 31136 and 31502. The penalty 

provisions are located at 49 U.S.C. 521, 

522 and 526, as amended. On November 

28, 1982, the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), the agency 

responsible for administration of the 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations (49 CFR 350 et 

seq.)(FMCSRs) at that time, promulgated 

a final rule requiring motor carriers to 

ensure that their drivers record their 

duty status in a specified format and 

verify the accuracy of the HOS of each 

driver (47 FR 53383). The rule is 

codified at 49 CFR 395.8. The FMCSRs 

also state: 

‘‘No driver shall operate a commercial 

motor vehicle, and a commercial motor 

carrier shall not require or permit a 

driver to operate a commercial motor 

vehicle, while the driver’s ability or 

alertness is so impaired, or so likely to 

become impaired, through fatigue, 

illness, or any other cause, as to make 

it unsafe for him/her to begin or 

continue to operate the commercial 

motor vehicle’’ (49 CFR 392.3). 

The FMCSA regulates the amount of 

time a CMV driver may drive or 

otherwise be on duty, in order to ensure 

that adequate time is available to the 

driver for rest. A driver must accurately 

record his or her duty status (driving, on 

duty not driving, off duty, sleeper berth) 

at all points during the 24-hour period 

designated by the motor carrier (49 CFR 

395.8(a)(1)). This record of duty status 

(RODS) must be made on a specified 

grid (Section 395.8(g)). The term 

‘‘logbook’’ is often used in the industry 

to denote the collection of the most 

recent RODS of the driver. A driver 

must have the RODS for the previous 7 

consecutive days in the CMV at all 

times (Section 395.8(k)(2)). The RODS 

must be submitted to the motor carrier 

along with any supporting documents, 

such as fuel receipts and toll tickets that 

could assist in verifying the accuracy of 

entries on the RODS. The HOS rules do 

not require motor carriers to submit this 

information to FMCSA. However, motor 

carriers must retain these records for a 

minimum of 6 months from the date of 

receipt and make them available to 

enforcement officials upon request 

(Section 395.8(k)(1)). The HOS rules 

provide three methods of recording 

driver duty status:
