Title: Accident Recordkeeping

Requirements.

OMB Number: 2125–0526

Background: Title 49 of the Code of

Federal Regulations, Section 390.15 of

the Federal Motor Carrier Safety

Regulations (FMCSRs), requires motor

carriers to make all records and

information pertaining to crashes

(accidents) available to an authorized

representative or special agent of the

Federal Highway Administration

(FHWA) upon request or as part of an

inquiry. For the purposes of § 390.15,

‘‘accident’’ is defined as an occurrence

involving a commercial motor vehicle

operating on a public road in interstate

or intrastate commerce which results in

(1) A fatality; (2) bodily injury to a

person who, as a result of the injury,

receives medical treatment away from

the scene of the accident; or (3) one or

more motor vehicles incurring disabling

damage as a result of the accident,

requiring the motor vehicle to be

transported away from the scene by a

tow truck or other motor vehicle (49

CFR 390.5). Occurrences involving only

boarding and alighting from a stationary

motor vehicle or involving only the

loading or unloading of cargo are not

included in the definition.

Motor carriers are required to

maintain an accident register for one

year after the date of the accident. The

register must include a list of each

accident. The information for each

accident must include, at a minimum,

the following elements: date of accident;

city or town in which or most near

where the accident occurred and the

State in which the accident occurred;

driver name; number of injuries;

number of fatalities; and whether

hazardous materials, other than fuel

spilled from the fuel tanks of motor

vehicles involved in the accident, were

released. In addition, the register must

contain copies of all accident reports

required by State or other governmental

entities or insurers.

There are no prescribed forms. The

records are used by the FHWA and its

representatives as a source of

information for investigations or special

studies, and to assess the effectiveness

of motor carriers’ safety management

controls.

Respondents: Motor carriers.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Per

Record: The FHWA estimates

approximately 129,000 accidents

involving trucks and 16,000 accidents

involving buses as defined in Section

390.5 of the FMCSRs occur annually

(source: Truck and Bus Crash Factbook,

1995). Of these, approximately 75

percent involve trucks and buses

operated by interstate motor carriers.

About 80 percent of the buses involved

in crashes are school or transit buses

and are not subject to this recordkeeping

requirement. The number of accidents is

therefore estimated to be

(0.75×129,000)+(0.75×0.20×16,000)

=99,150 .

The agency estimates it takes

approximately two minutes for

interstate motor carriers to collect and

record the seven elements of

information on the accident register.

Based on these assumptions, the agency

estimates a time burden of 3,305 hours

per year for accident report register

information.

Interested parties are invited to send

comments regarding any aspect of these

information collections, including, but

not limited to: (1) Whether the

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the FHWA, including

whether the information has practical

utility; (2) the accuracy of the estimated

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,

utility, and clarity of the collected

information; and (4) ways to minimize

the collection burden without reducing

the quality of the collected information.

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 31136, 31141, and

31502 and 49 CFR 1.48.

Issued on: January 7, 1998.
