devices under current regulations. In 

addition, advanced research 

instruments unavailable or not in use at 

the time of all past research on this 

topic are now in common use and 

would permit far more sophisticated 

analyses of the effects of warning 

devices on driver behavior. This 

includes sensors which can precisely 

measure and record the location of 

vehicles (e.g., differential GPS), eyetracking devices which allow the 

researcher to determine the precise 

moment when a driver first glanced at 

a PDCMV, and instrumented vehicles 

which record accurate, high-frequency 

data related to drivers’ interactions with 

a vehicle’s controls. 

FMCSA plans to implement these 

modern tools in a controlled experiment 

at a closed-course, state-of-the-art 

driving research facility that will allow 

the most comprehensive examination of 

the effects of warning devices to date. 

The results of the study may support 

future rulemaking related to warning 

devices and provide baseline data 

necessary to inform Agency decisions 

on exemption applications for 

alternative warning device products.

Background 

On December 16, 2015, FMCSA 

published a final rule titled ‘‘Electronic 

Logging Devices and Hours of Service 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
1594 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 5 / Wednesday, January 8, 2025 / Notices 

Supporting Documents,’’ (80 FR 78292) 

that established minimum performance 

and design standards for hours-ofservice (HOS) ELDs; requirements for 

the mandatory use of these devices by 

drivers currently required to prepare 

HOS records of duty status (RODS); 

requirements concerning HOS 

supporting documents; and measures to 

address concerns about harassment 

resulting from the mandatory use of 

ELDs. 

To ensure consistency among ELD 

vendors and devices, detailed functional 

specifications were published as part of 

the December 2015 final rule. Each ELD 

vendor developing an ELD technology 

must register online at a secure FMCSA 

website where the ELD provider can 

securely certify that its ELD is 

compliant with the functional 

specifications. Each ELD vendor must 

certify that each ELD model and version 

has been sufficiently tested to meet the 

functional requirements in the rule 

under the conditions in which the ELD 

would be used. 

ELD vendors must self-certify and 

register their devices with FMCSA 

online via Form MCSA–5893, 

‘‘Electronic Logging Device (ELD) 

Vendor Registration and Certification.’’ 

FMCSA expects all respondents to 

submit their information electronically. 

Once completed, FMCSA issues a 

unique identification number that the 

ELD vendor will embed in their 

device(s). FMCSA maintains a list on its 

website of the current ELD vendors and 

devices that have been certified (by the 

vendors) to meet the functional 

specifications. The information is 

necessary for fleets and drivers to easily 

find a compliant ELD for their use in 

meeting the FMCSA regulation 

requiring the use of ELDs. 

Title: Electronic Logging Device (ELD) 

Vendor Registration. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0062. 

Type of Request: Renewal of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: ELD vendors. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 94. 

Estimated Time per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Expiration Date: July 31, 2025. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 71 

hours [94 respondents × 1 device per 

respondent × 3 updates per device × 15 

minutes per response]. 

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 

burden could be minimized without

Information Collection Request: 

Medical Qualification Requirements 

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 

review and approval. The FMCSA 

requests approval to renew an ICR 

titled, ‘‘Medical Qualification 

Requirements,’’ due to updated 

information for several of the 

Information Collections (ICs) discussed. 

This ICR is needed to ensure that 

drivers, motor carriers, and the States 

are complying with the physical 

qualification requirements of 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers. The information collected is 

used to determine and certify driver 

medical fitness and must be collected in 

order for our highways to be safe. On 

September 17, 2024, FMCSA published 

a 60-day notice requesting comment on 

the renewal of this ICR. In response to 

this notice, no comments were received. 

DATES: Comments on this notice must be 

received on or before February 7, 2025. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be 

submitted within 30 days of publication 

of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/

Background: CMVs (trucks and buses) 

are longer, heavier, and more difficult to 

maneuver than automobiles, making 

them a threat to highway safety if not 

operated properly by qualified 

individuals. The public interest in, and 

right to have, safe highways requires the 

assurance that drivers of CMVs can 

safely perform the increased physical 

and mental demands of their duties. 

FMCSA’s physical qualification 

standards provide this assurance by 

requiring drivers to be examined and 

medically certified as physically and
