SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice 

of Intent to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement for the U.S. 219 

project was published in the Federal 

Register in 2003 (68 FR 59840, October 

17, 2003). No alternative was selected at 

that time. A revised Notice of Intent was 

published in the Federal Register in 

2014 (79 FR 42868, July 23, 2014). 

FHWA issued the revised Notice of 

Intent to advise the public of 

modifications to the environmental 

review process for the U.S. 219 project. 

These modifications included a change 

in the lead Federal agency from the 

FHWA Pennsylvania Division Office to 

the FHWA Maryland Division Office 

and intent of FHWA to utilize the 

environmental review provisions 

afforded under Section 6002 of the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU) and under 

Section 1319 of the Moving Ahead for 

the Progress in the 21st Century Act 

(MAP–21). 

The proposed transportation project 

was along Section 019 of U.S. 219 

which extends from the southern 

terminus of the Meyersdale Bypass in 

Somerset County, Pennsylvania to I–68 

in Garrett County, Maryland. The 

project was approximately 8 miles with 

about 2.5 miles in Maryland and 5.5 

miles in Pennsylvania. 

Due to Federal and State funding 

constraints, as well as the unlikelihood 

of adequate funding for all project 

phases in the foreseeable future, the 

Notice of Intent is hereby rescinded. A 

planning study is being undertaken to 

consider transportation needs in the 

region.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA) published a 

final rule, Electronic Logging Devices 

(ELDs) and Hours of Service Supporting 

Documents, on December 16, 2015 (80 

FR 78292). This rulemaking stated that: 

FMCSA will publish compliance test 

procedures to assist providers in determining 

whether their products meet the 

requirements. ELD providers are not required 

to use FMCSA’s compliance test procedures. 

They may use any test procedures they deem 

appropriate, but FMCSA will use the 

compliance test procedures during any 

investigation and rely upon the results from 

that testing in making a determination of 

whether a system satisfies the requirements 

of [the] rule. 

Soon after the publication of the final 

rule, on January 26, 2016, FMCSA made 

the compliance test procedures 

available on the Web site at 

www.fmcsa.dot.gov/technologyproviders. The Web site also stated that 

there would be a listening session in the 

future in order to get input from ELD 

providers. 

II. Meeting Participation 

This meeting is open to all members 

of the public. However, FMCSA 

particularly requests participation from 

the ELD provider community. An 

agenda for the meeting is available at 

www.fmcsa.dot.gov/technologyproviders. Comments and input from 

the ELD providers and the public on the 

compliance test procedures will be 

accepted throughout the meeting, 

subject to the discretion of the Agency. 

The meeting will be live-captioned and 

recorded and available after the webinar 

on the ELD Web page in docket 

FMCSA–2016–0054. 

This meeting offers the provider 

community an opportunity to give input 

on these voluntary compliance test 

procedures and share best practices. The 

discussion will focus solely on the 

compliance test procedures. As the ELD 

rule is final, comments about the rule, 

including the technical specifications, 

are not appropriate during this meeting. 

The compliance test procedures are to 

be used only to confirm that the 

technical specifications in Appendix A 

to Subpart B of Part 395 have been met; 

they do not deal with the specifications 

themselves. 

FMCSA plans to take this opportunity 

to ask those providers participating 

about their own internal testing 

procedures, as well as their thoughts on 

the procedures FMCSA has prepared. 

FMCSA may revise the compliance test 

procedures based on information 

received at this listening session.

meeting in the docket for this notice. 

The Agency requests that ELD providers 

and members of the public who cannot 

participate in this online listening 

session submit written comments to the 

docket as soon as practicable. FMCSA 

plans to docket any written materials it 

receives during the meeting.

[Docket No. FMCSA–2015–0332] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Extension of a CurrentlyApproved Information Collection 

Request: Information Technology 

Services Survey Portal Customer 

Satisfaction Assessment (formerly 

COMPASS Portal Consumer 

Satisfaction Assessment) 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (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 collection involves an 

extension to a currently-approved ICR, 

and includes the assessment of 

FMCSA’s strategic decision to integrate 

its Information Technology (IT) with its 

business processes using portal 

technology to consolidate its systems 

and databases through the FMCSA 

Information Technology Services 

Survey modernization initiative. The 

information to be collected will be used 

to assess the satisfaction of Federal, 

State, and industry customers with the 

FMCSA Information Technology 

Services Survey Portal. The name of the 

‘‘COMPASS Portal Customer 

Satisfaction Assessment,’’ ICR was 

previously changed to ‘‘Information 

Technology Services Survey Portal 

Customer Satisfaction Assessment,’’ to 

reflect the need for a broader term than 

‘‘COMPASS’’ for the portal. On October 

27, 2015, FMCSA published a Federal 

Register notice (80 FR 65847) allowing 

for a 60-day comment period on this 

ICR. The agency received no comments 

in response to that notice. 

DATES: Please send your comments to 

this notice by March 18, 2016. OMB 

must receive your comments by this 

date to act quickly on the ICR. 

ADDRESSES: All comments should 

reference Federal Docket Management 

System (FDMS) Docket Number 

FMCSA–2015–0332. Interested persons 

are invited to submit written comments 

on the proposed information collection 

to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget. Comments 

should be addressed to the attention of 

the Desk Officer, Department of 

Transportation/Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Administration, and sent via 

electronic mail to oira_submission@

omb.eop.gov, faxed to (202) 395–6974, 

or mailed to the Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, Docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Information Technology 

Services Survey Portal Customer 

Satisfaction Assessment. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0042. 

Type of Request: Extension of the 

currently-approved information 

collection request. 

Respondents: Federal, State, and 

industry customers/users. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,392. 

Estimated Time per Response: Five (5) 

minutes. 

Expiration Date: 05/31/2016. 

Frequency of Response: 4 times per 

year. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 283 

hours [91 hours (273 industry user 

respondents × 5 minutes/60 minutes to 

complete survey × 4 times per year) + 

192 hours (575 Federal and State 

government respondents × 5 minutes/60 

minutes to complete survey × 4 times 

per year) = 283]. 

Background 

Title II, section 207 of the EGovernment Act of 2002 requires 

Government agencies to improve the 

methods by which government 

information, including information on 

the Internet, is organized, preserved, 

and made accessible to the public. To 

meet this goal, FMCSA plans to provide 

a survey on the FMCSA Portal, allowing 

users to assess its functionality. This 

functionality includes the capability for 

Federal, State, and industry users to 

access the Agency’s existing safety IT 

systems with a single set of credentials 

and have easy access to safety data 

about the companies that do business 

with FMCSA. The Information 

Technology program will also focus on 

improving the accuracy of data to help 

ensure information, such as carrier 

name and address, is valid and reliable. 

FMCSA’s legacy information systems 

are currently operational. However, 

having many stand-alone systems has 

led to data quality concerns, a need for 

excessive IDs and passwords, and 

significant operational and maintenance 

costs. Integrating our information 

technologies with our business 

processes will, in turn, improve our 

operations considerably, particularly in 

terms of data quality, ease of use, and 

a reduction of maintenance costs. 

In early 2007, FMCSA’s Information 

Technology program launched a series 

of releases of a new FMCSA Portal to its 

Federal, State and industry customers. 

Over the coming years, more than 15 

releases are planned. These releases will 

use portal technology to fuse and 

provide numerous services and 

functions via a single user interface and 

provide tailored services that seek to 

meet the needs of specific 

constituencies within our customer 

universe. 

The FMCSA Information Technology 

Services Survey Portal will entail 

considerable expenditure of Federal 

Government dollars over the years and 

will fundamentally impact the nature of 

the relationship between the Agency 

and its Federal, State, and industry 

customers. Consequently, the Agency 

intends to conduct regular and ongoing 

assessments of customer satisfaction 

with the Information Technology 

Services Survey. 

The primary purposes of this 

assessment are to: 

• Determine the extent to which the 

FMCSA Portal functionality continues 

to meet the needs of Agency customers; 

• Identify and prioritize additional 

modifications; and 

• Determine the extent that the 

FMCSA Portal has impacted FMCSA’s 

relationships with its main customer 

groups. 

The assessment will address: 

• Overall customer satisfaction; 

• Customer satisfaction against 

specific items;
