Apprenticeship Pilot (SDAP) 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), Department 

of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of a New System of 

Records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of 

Transportation (DOT) proposes a new 

system of records titled ‘‘Safe Driver 

Apprenticeship Pilot’’ (SDAP) Program. 

This system of records will allow DOT 

to collect and maintain records on safety 

performance and driving profiles of 

certain Commercial Motor Vehicle 

(CMV) drivers voluntarily participating 

in the SDAP program and receiving an 

exemption to operate in interstate 

commerce before reaching the age of 21. 

The information in the system will be 

used to analyze the safety performance 

of apprenticeship drivers as compared 

to current CMV drivers operating in 

intra- or inter-state commerce under 

current FMCSA regulations. This system 

maintains records on carriers, 

experienced drivers, and apprentice 

drivers who volunteer to participate in 

the SDAP. Records on carriers and 

experienced drivers are limited to those 

necessary to verify qualifications for 

participation, while records on 

apprentice drivers include safety, 

performance, and exposure data 

throughout their participation as an 

apprentice. 

DATES: Comments on the system will be 

accepted on or before 30 days from the 

date of publication of this notice. The 

system will be effective 30 days after

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, DOT is proposing a new system of 

records notice (SORN) titled 

‘‘Department of Transportation (DOT)/ 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA)—013, Safe 

Driver Apprenticeship Pilot (SDAP)’’ to 

allow FMCSA to implement the ‘‘Safe 

Driver Apprenticeship Pilot’’ (SDAP) 

program to fulfill the requirements of 

Section 23022 of the Infrastructure

Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). This 

system will collect and maintain records 

on participating apprentice drivers to 

analyze safety and performance 

outcomes of participating apprentices. 

Apprentices must have a valid 

commercial driver’s license (CDL) and 

be of age 18, 19, or 20 to voluntarily 

participate in the program. The data 

collected on these drivers will be 

analyzed for safety and performance as 

compared to existing data on 

comparative groups of drivers (under-21 

intrastate as well as over-21 interstate 

existing CMV operators). 

This system will also collect 

information on experienced drivers to 

verify their eligibility to serve as an 

experienced driver but will not collect 

safety and performance data for 

experienced drivers. 

Carriers will apply to participate in 

the program by providing their carrier 

name, USDOT number, physical 

address, phone number, email address, 

fleet size, type of operation (interstate vs 

intrastate), types of drivers employed 

(class A, class B, and/or class C), 

turnover rate, states traveled through, 

pay structure, annual miles traveled, an 

estimate on the number of experienced 

drivers and apprentices the carrier will 

enroll, their registered apprenticeship 

number with Department of Labor, 

carrier operation types, types of CMVs 

employed, and information regarding 

currently utilized technologies 

(Electronic Logging Devices [ELDs], 

Onboard Monitoring Systems [OBMS], 

and Video Recording systems). Carrier 

applications will be reviewed against 

published eligibility requirements. 

Carriers will be notified of whether or 

not they are accepted into the program 

by FMCSA. Accepted carriers will be 

required to attend a webinar to review 

participation requirements. 

Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act embodies fair 

information practice principles in a 

statutory framework governing the 

means by which Federal Government 

agencies collect, maintain, use, and 

disseminate individuals’ records. The 

Privacy Act applies to information that 

is maintained in a ‘‘system of records.’’ 

A ‘‘system of records’’ is a group of any 

records under the control of an agency 

from which information is retrieved by 

the name of an individual or by some 

identifying number, symbol, or other 

identifying particular assigned to the 

individual. In the Privacy Act, an 

individual is defined to encompass U.S. 

citizens and lawful permanent 

residents. Additionally, the Judicial 

Redress Act (JRA) provides a covered 

person with a statutory right to make 

requests for access and amendment to 

covered records, as defined by the JRA, 

along with judicial review for denials of 

such requests. The JRA also prohibits 

disclosures of covered records, except as 

otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act. 

Below is the description of the Safe 

Driver Apprenticeship Pilot Program 

System of Records. In accordance with 

5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DOT has provided a 

report of this system of records to the 

OMB and to Congress. 

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER: 

DOT/FMCSA 013—Safe Driver 

Apprenticeship Pilot (SDAP). 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Unclassified. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

Records are maintained by a 

contractor, the contract for the system is 

maintained at FMCSA Headquarters, 

1200 New Jersey Ave SE, Washington, 

DC 20590. 

SYSTEM MANAGER(S): 

For FMCSA, the System Manager is 

Nicole Michel, Mathematical 

Statistician, 1200 New Jersey Ave SE, 

Washington, DC, 20590. Email: 

SafeDriver@dot.gov. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

49 U.S.C. 31315; Section 23022 of the 

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 

(P.L. 117–58, Nov. 15, 2021). 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

The purpose of the system is to collect 

data on carriers and drivers 

participating in the SDAP. The data 

collected will be used to determine the 

safety benefits or risks posed by 

implementing an apprenticeship 

program for drivers under the age of 21 

to operate in interstate commerce. Data 

will be collected to verify qualifications 

for participation, to issue the necessary 

exemptions for carriers and drivers to 

participate in the SDAP program, and to 

monitor operational and safety 

performance throughout participation. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

The system of records will include 

information about motor carriers who 

voluntarily apply to participate in the 

SDAP, current CDL holders who apply 

to participate as ‘‘experienced drivers,’’ 

and drivers who apply to participate as 

apprentices, i.e., 18- to 20-year-old CMV 

operators who are voluntarily 

participating in the SDAP to operate in 

interstate commerce. These categories 

can be characterized as: 

1. Motor Carriers, 

2. Experienced Drivers, and 

3. Apprentice Drivers. 

All individuals covered by this 

system must voluntarily apply to 

participate in the SDAP. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

The SDAP will collect, process, 

transmit, and store the following types 

of information on all individuals 

covered by this system: 

1. Basic Identifying Information (e.g., 

name, address, USDOT number of 

carriers or CDL number and State of 

Issuance for drivers) for all individuals. 

The SDAP will collect, process, 

transmit, and store the following types 

of information on motor carriers only: 

1. Operational Profile Information 

(e.g., vehicle classes operated, fleet size, 

average annual miles traveled, types of 

carrier operations, types of CMVs 

employed) 

2. A valid Department of Labor 

Registered Apprenticeship number 

The SDAP will collect, process, 

transmit, and store the following types 

of information on experienced drivers 

only: 

1. Employment history for the past 

two years (e.g., employer name, USDOT 

number, dates of employment) 

2. Qualifications and CMV Experience 

(e.g., date CDL was acquired, total years 

driving a CMV, safety incidents in the 

past two years). 

The SDAP will collect, process, 

transmit, and store the following types 

of information on apprentice drivers 

only: 

1. Training and employment history 

(e.g., date CDL was acquired, past 

driving experience if applicable, and 

current operating profile if applicable) 

2. Safety Performance Benchmarks 

(i.e., verification of completion of safety 

performance benchmarks) 

3. Exposure data throughout 

participation (e.g., miles traveled, hours 

on duty, hours away from home station) 

4. Safety data throughout 

participation (e.g., safety events such as 

hard braking or swerving, crashes, 

inspections) 

Additionally, the SDAP will collect, 

process, transmit, and store information 

on acceptance letters, letters of 

disqualification, exemption letters, and 

other official correspondence 

throughout the pilot program. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Records are obtained from motor 

carriers that volunteer to participate in 

the pilot program and are accepted for 

participation into the pilot program by 

FMCSA. Additionally, individuals who 

volunteer to participate in the pilot 

program will submit applications 

through the motor carrier and the motor 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 135 / Friday, July 15, 2022 / Notices 42545 

carrier will submit monthly data on 

apprentice drivers. Records will also be 

generated by the Department and 

retrieved from existing data sources, 

such as the Commercial Driver License 

Information System (CDLIS) and the 

Motor Carrier Management Information 

System (MCMIS). 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

In addition to those disclosures 

generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a 

portion of the records or information 

contained in this system may be 

disclosed outside DOT as a routine use 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as 

follows: 

System-Specific Routine Uses—None. 

Department General Routine Uses 

1. In the event that a system of records 

maintained by DOT to carry out its 

functions indicates a violation or 

potential violation of law, whether civil, 

criminal or regulatory in nature, and 

whether arising by general statute or 

particular program pursuant thereto, the 

relevant records in the system of records 

may be referred, as a routine use, to the 

appropriate agency, whether Federal, 

State, local or foreign, charged with the 

responsibility of investigating or 

prosecuting such violation or charged 

with enforcing or implementing the 

statute, or rule, regulation, or order 

issued pursuant thereto. 

2a. Routine Use for Disclosure for Use 

in Litigation. It shall be a routine use of 

the records in this system of records to 

disclose them to the Department of 

Justice or other federal agency 

conducting litigation when—(a) DOT, or 

any agency thereof, or (b) Any employee 

of DOT or any agency thereof, in his/her 

official capacity, or (c) Any employee of 

DOT or any agency thereof, in his/her 

individual capacity where the 

Department of Justice has agreed to 

represent the employee, or (d) The 

United States or any agency thereof, 

where DOT determines that litigation is 

likely to affect the United States, is a 

party to litigation or has an interest in 

such litigation, and the use of such 

records by the Department of Justice or 

other federal agency conducting the 

litigation is deemed by DOT to be 

relevant and necessary in the litigation, 

provided, however, that in each case, 

DOT determines that disclosure of the 

records in the litigation is a use of the 

information contained in the records 

that is compatible with the purpose for 

which the records were collected. 

2b. Routine Use for Agency Disclosure 

in Other Proceedings. It shall be a 

routine use of records in this system to 

disclose them in proceedings before any 

court or adjudicative or administrative 

body before which DOT or any agency 

thereof, appears, when—(a) DOT, or any 

agency thereof, or (b) Any employee of 

DOT or any agency thereof in his/her 

official capacity, or (c) Any employee of 

DOT or any agency thereof in his/her 

individual capacity where DOT has 

agreed to represent the employee, or (d) 

The United States or any agency thereof, 

where DOT determines that the 

proceeding is likely to affect the United 

States, is a party to the proceeding or 

has an interest in such proceeding, and 

DOT determines that use of such 

records is relevant and necessary in the 

proceeding, provided, however, that in 

each case, DOT determines that 

disclosure of the records in the 

proceeding is a use of the information 

contained in the records that is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the records were collected. 

3. Disclosure may be made to a 

Congressional office from the record of 

an individual in response to an inquiry 

from the Congressional office made at 

the request of that individual. In such 

cases, however, the Congressional office 

does not have greater rights to records 

than the individual. Thus, the 

disclosure may be withheld from 

delivery to the individual where the file 

contains investigative or actual 

information or other materials which are 

being used, or are expected to be used, 

to support prosecution or fines against 

the individual for violations of a statute, 

or of regulations of the Department 

based on statutory authority. No such 

limitations apply to records requested 

for Congressional oversight or legislative 

purposes; release is authorized under 49 

CFR 10.35(9). 

4. One or more records from a system 

of records may be disclosed routinely to 

the National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA) in records 

management inspections being 

conducted under the authority of 44 

U.S.C. 2904 and 2906. 

5. DOT may make available to another 

agency or instrumentality of any 

government jurisdiction, including State 

and local governments, listings of names 

from any system of records in DOT for 

use in law enforcement activities, either 

civil or criminal, or to expose fraudulent 

claims, regardless of the stated purpose 

for the collection of the information in 

the system of records. These 

enforcement activities are generally 

referred to as matching programs 

because two lists of names are checked 

for match using automated assistance. 

This routine use is advisory in nature 

and does not offer unrestricted access to 

systems of records for such law 

enforcement and related antifraud 

activities. Each request will be 

considered on the basis of its purpose, 

merits, cost effectiveness and 

alternatives using Instructions on 

reporting computer matching programs 

to the Office of Management and 

Budget, OMB, Congress, and the public, 

published by the Director, OMB, dated 

September 20, 1989. 

6. DOT may disclose records from this 

system, as a routine use, to appropriate 

agencies, entities, and persons when (1) 

DOT suspects or has confirmed that the 

security or confidentiality of 

information in the system of records has 

been compromised; (2) DOT has 

determined that as a result of the 

suspected or confirmed compromise 

there is a risk of harm to economic or 

property interests, identity theft or 

fraud, or harm to the security or 

integrity of this system or other systems 

or programs (whether maintained by 

DOT or another agency or entity) that 

rely upon the compromised 

information; and (3) the disclosure 

made to such agencies, entities, and 

persons is reasonably necessary to assist 

in connection with DOT’s efforts to 

respond to the suspected or confirmed 

compromise and prevent, minimize, or 

remedy such harm. 

7. DOT may disclose records from this 

system, as a routine use, to the Office of 

Government Information Services for 

the purpose of (a) resolving disputes 

between FOIA requesters and federal 

agencies and (b) reviewing agencies’ 

policies, procedures, and compliance in 

order to recommend policy changes to 

Congress and the President. 

8. DOT may disclose records from the 

system, as a routine use, to contractors 

and their agents, experts, consultants, 

and others performing or working on a 

contract, service, cooperative agreement, 

or other assignment for DOT, when 

necessary to accomplish an agency 

function related to this system of 

records. 

9. DOT may disclose records from this 

system, as a routine use, to an agency, 

organization, or individual for the 

purpose of performing audit or oversight 

operations related to this system of 

records, but only such records as are 

necessary and relevant to the audit or 

oversight activity. This routine use does 

not apply to intra-agency sharing 

authorized under Section (b)(1) of the 

Privacy Act. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Records are retrieved by carrier name, 

driver name, CDL number, or through 

the randomly generated participant ID 

assigned by the DOT contractor. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

Unscheduled records must be 

retained indefinitely pending the 

agency’s submission, and NARA’s 

approval, of a disposition schedule. 

DOT anticipates proposing to NARA, as 

an appropriate retention period for these 

records, two years or until no longer 

necessary for reference. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

DOT safeguards records in this system 

according to applicable rules and 

policies, including all applicable DOT 

IT systems security and access policies. 

DOT has imposed strict controls to 

minimize the risk of information being 

compromised. Access to the records in 

this system is limited to those 

individuals who have a need to know 

the information in furtherance of the 

performance of their official duties, and 

who have appropriate clearances or 

permissions. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

Individuals seeking access to and 

notification of any record contained in 

this system of records, or seeking to 

contest its content, may submit a 

request in writing to the System 

Manager at the address provided under 

‘‘System Manager and Address’’ above. 

Individuals may also search the public 

docket at www.regulations.gov by their 

name. 

When seeking records about yourself 

from this system of records or any other 

Departmental system of records, the 

request must conform with the Privacy 

Act regulations set forth in 49 CFR part 

10. The individual’s request must verify 

his/her identity by providing his/her 

full name, current address, and date and 

place of birth. The individual must sign 

the request, and the individual’s 

signature must either be notarized or 

submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law 

that permits statements to be made 

under penalty of perjury as a substitute 

for notarization. No specific form is 

required. 

In addition, the individual should: 

• Explain why the individual believes 

the Department would have information 

on him/her; 

• Identify which component(s) of the 

Department the individual believes may 

have the information about him/her; 

• Specify when the individual 

believes the records would have been 

created; and 

• Provide any other information that 

will help the FOIA staff determine 

which DHS component agency may 

have responsive records. 

If an individual’s request is seeking 

records pertaining to another living 

individual, the first individual must 

include a statement from the second 

individual certifying his/her agreement 

for the first individual to access his/her 

records. Without the above information, 

the component(s) may not be able to 

conduct an effective search, and the 

individual’s request may be denied due 

to lack of specificity or lack of 

compliance with applicable regulations.
