SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from 

OMB for each IC they conduct, sponsor, 

or require through regulations. FMCSA 

has determined that it needs to revise 

the currently-approved estimate for 

OMB Control No. 2126–0009, ‘‘Accident 

Recordkeeping Requirements.’’ The 

regulation underlying this IC is 49 CFR 

390.15, ‘‘Assistance in investigations 

and special studies.’’ It requires motor 

carriers to make all records and 

information pertaining to specified 

accidents available to an authorized 

representative or special agent of the 

FMCSA upon request, or as part of an 

inquiry. Interstate motor carriers are 

required to maintain an Accident 

Register consisting of specified 

information about each accident 

involving their commercial motor 

vehicles. The information for each 

accident must include, at a minimum, 

the following elements: Date of 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 174 / Thursday, September 9, 2010 / Notices 54941 

accident, city or town in which or most 

near where the accident occurred, 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. Motor carriers must 

maintain the required information in the 

Accident Register for 3 years after the 

date of the accident. 

This IC strengthens FMCSA’s ability 

to assess motor carrier safety 

performance. These assessments enable 

FMCSA to direct its enforcement 

resources to the motor carriers with the 

weakest safety records, helping those 

carriers prevent accidents and reduce 

their severity. 

On February 8, 2008, OMB approved 

FMCSA’s estimate for this IC of 32,040 

annual burden hours and established an 

expiration date for this IC of February 

28, 2011. Today FMCSA announces its 

plan to request that OMB approve 

revision of this estimate to 22,500 

annual burden hours. 

Title: Accident Recordkeeping 

Requirements. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0009. 

Type of Request: Revision of an ICR. 

Respondents: Motor carriers engaged 

in interstate commerce. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

500,000. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

75,000. 

Estimated Time per Response: 18 

minutes. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Expiration Date: February 28, 2011. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

22,500 hours. 

Improved FMCSA accident data 

provides a more accurate estimate of the 

total responses to this information 

collection each year: 75,000. The 

Agency’s previous estimate was 106,800 

responses. FMCSA retains its prior 

estimate that a motor carrier requires 

approximately 18 minutes, on average, 

to complete the tasks necessary to 

comply with § 390.15, i.e., collecting the 

required information about the accident, 

entering it into the Accident Register 

and maintaining it and other documents 

required by § 390.15. Therefore, the 

annual burden hours for all motor 

carriers is 22,500 hours (rounded) 

(75,000 responses × 18 minutes each 

divided by 60 minutes per hour). 

Definitions: Each of these definitions 

can be found at 49 CFR 390.5: ‘‘Motor 

carrier’’: Any person engaged in a 

business affecting interstate commerce 

who owns or leases a commercial motor 

vehicle in connection with that 

business, or assigns employees to 

operate it. ‘‘Commercial motor vehicle’’: 

A self-propelled or towed vehicle used 

on the highways in interstate commerce 

to transport passengers or property, if 

the vehicle—(1) Has a gross vehicle 

weight rating or gross combination 

weight rating, or gross vehicle weight or 

gross combination weight of 10,001 

pounds, whichever is greater; or (2) Is 

designed or used to transport more than 

8 passengers (including the driver) for 

compensation; or (3) Is designed or used 

to transport more than 15 passengers, 

including the driver, and is not used to 

transport passengers for compensation; 

or (4) Is used in transporting material 

found by the Secretary of Transportation 

to be hazardous under section 5103 of 

title 49, United States Code, and 

transported in a quantity requiring 

placarding under regulations prescribed 

by the Secretary under section 5103. 

‘‘Accident’’: An occurrence involving a 

Commercial motor vehicle operating on 

a highway in interstate or intrastate 

commerce which results in: (i) A 

fatality; (ii) bodily injury to a person 

who, as a result of the injury, receives 

medical treatment away from the scene 

of the accident; or (iii) one or more 

motor vehicles incurring disabling 

damage as a result of the accident, 

requiring the motor vehicle(s) to be 

transported away from the scene by a 

tow truck or other motor vehicle. The 

term ‘‘accident’’ does not include: (i) An 

occurrence involving only boarding or 

alighting from a stationary motor 

vehicle or (ii) An occurrence involving 

only the loading or unloading of cargo. 

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 

reducing the quality of the collected 

information. The Agency will 

summarize or include your comments in 

the request for OMB’s clearance of this 

information collection.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2010–0210] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Revision of an Approved 

Information Collection Request: 

Hazardous Materials Safety Permits 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice; 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 and invites public 

comment. The FMCSA requests 

approval to revise an existing ICR 

entitled ‘‘Hazardous Materials Safety 

Permits,’’ due to an increase in the 

estimated number of annual trips in 

which permitted hazardous materials 

(HM) are transported. This ICR requires 

companies holding permits to develop a 

communications plan that allows for the 

periodic tracking of the shipment. A 

record of the communications that 

includes the time of the call and 

location of the shipment may be kept by 

either the driver (e.g., recorded in the 

log book) or the company. These records 

must be kept, either physically or 

electronically, for at least six months at 

the company’s principal place of 

business or readily available to the 

employees at the company’s principal 

place of business. This ICR is being 

revised due to an increase in the 

estimated number of annual trips in 

which permitted HM is transported 

resulting in change to the total 

information collection burden for 

maintaining a daily communication 

record. 

DATES: We must receive your comments 

on or before November 8, 2010.
