[Docket No. FMCSA–2021–0143] 

Agency Information Collection 

Request Concerning Certain Motor 

Carrier Activities When Responding to 

Emergency Declarations Under OMB 

Review 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), Department 

of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of request for emergency 

OMB approval. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 

1995, this notice announces that the 

new Information Collection Request 

(ICR) discussed below has been 

forwarded to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review and an 

emergency approval of a new 

information collection. FMCSA would 

collect this information from motor 

carriers engaged in providing direct 

assistance in response to certain 

emergency declarations issued by the 

Agency to provide regulatory relief for 

such carriers in continued support of 

the Nation’s coronavirus disease 2019 

(COVID–19) recovery efforts. The ICR 

describes the nature of the information 

collection and their expected paperwork 

burdens. FMCSA requests that OMB 

approve this collection within 7 days. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before August 30, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent by 

August 30, 2021, to www.reginfo.gov/

COVID–19 Emergency Declaration 

Relief. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–TBD. 

Type of Request: Request for 

emergency approval of an information 

collection. 

Respondents: Motor carriers that 

operate under the terms of the extended 

COVID–19 Emergency Declaration No. 

2020–002. 

Estimated Total Respondents: 

203,894. 

Estimated Total Responses: 1,223,364 

for 6 months. 

Estimated Burden Hours: 305,841 for 

6 months. 

Estimated Burden per Response: 15 

minutes per response. 

Frequency: Monthly for 6 months. 

Background 

FMCSA issued Emergency 

Declaration No. 2020–002 in response to 

the March 13, 2020, declaration of a 

national emergency under 42 U.S.C. 

5191(b) related to COVID–19, and the 

immediate risk COVID–19 presents to 

public health and welfare. FMCSA 

modified Emergency Declaration 2020– 

002 to expand and remove categories of 

supplies, equipment, and persons 

covered by the Emergency Declaration 

to respond to changing needs for 

emergency relief. On May 26, 2021, 

FMCSA extended the modified 

Emergency Declaration No. 2020–002 

and associated regulatory relief through 

August 31, 2021, in accordance with 49 

CFR 390.25. FMCSA continued the 

exemption and associated regulatory 

relief in accordance with 49 CFR 390.25, 

because the presidentially declared 

emergency remained in place and 

because a continued exemption was 

needed to support direct emergency 

assistance for some supply chains. This 

extension of the expanded modified 

Emergency Declaration addresses 

conditions that create a need for 

immediate transportation of essential 

supplies and provides necessary relief 

from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations (FMCSRs) for motor carriers 

and drivers. 

In accordance with the expanded 

modified Emergency Declaration No. 

2020–002, motor carriers and drivers 

providing direct assistance in support of 

relief efforts related to the COVID–19 

public health emergency are granted 

emergency relief from certain portions 

of 49 CFR parts 390 through 399 of the 

FMCSRs, except as restricted in the 

Emergency Declaration. Direct 

assistance means transportation and 

other relief services provided by a motor 

carrier or its driver(s) incident to the 

immediate restoration of essential 

services (such as medical care) or 

essential supplies related to COVID–19 

during the emergency. The notice 

extending the declaration provides a list 

of relief services and essential supplies. 

Neither the Emergency Declaration 

nor the regulations covering Emergency 

Declarations (found in 49 CFR 390.23 

and 390.25) require that motor carriers 

or drivers operating under the 

Emergency Declaration report their 

operation to FMCSA. As a result, 

FMCSA does not know how many 

motor carriers or drivers are relying on 

the Emergency Declaration. Given the 

unprecedented period that the 

expanded modified Emergency 

Declaration No. 2020–0022 has now 

been in place, FMCSA has determined 

that it is necessary to seek information 

on the number of motor carriers and 

drivers relying upon Emergency 

Declaration No. 2020–002, and any 

subsequent extension currently in effect, 

to evaluate the need for future
