Consequently, the final rule is currently 

in effect (Advocates for Highway and 

Auto Safety v. Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Administration, 429 F. 3d1136 

(D.C.Cir. 2005). 

Title: Training Certification for EntryLevel Commercial Motor Vehicle 

Operators 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0028. 

Type of Request: Extension of an IC. 

Respondents: Entry-level CDL drivers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

45,611. 

Estimated Time per Response: 10 

minutes. 

Expiration Date: September 30, 2009. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

7,602 hours. FMCSA estimates that an 

entry-level driver requires 

approximately 10 minutes to complete 

the tasks necessary to comply with the 

regulation. Those tasks are: 

Photocopying the training certificate, 

giving the photocopy to the motor 

carrier employer, and placing the 

original of the certificate in a personal 

file. Therefore, the annual burden for all 

entry-level drivers is 7,602 hours 

[45,611 respondents × 10 minutes/60 

minutes to complete a response = 

7,601.8 hours (rounded to 7,602 hours)]. 

Definitions: ‘‘Commercial Motor 

Vehicle (CMV)’’: A motor vehicle 

operated in commerce and having a 

gross vehicle weight rating of 26,001 

pounds or more, regardless of actual 

weight, or designed to transport 16 or 

more passengers, or used to transport 

placardable and dangerous hazardous 

materials (49 CFR 383.5). The term 

‘‘CMV’’ is limited to this definition in 

this document; the term ‘‘CDL driver’’ is 

used because the operators of these 

CMVs are required to have a valid 

commercial driver’s license (CDL). This 

rule currently applies solely to ‘‘entrylevel’’ CDL drivers, i.e., those who have 

less than one year of experience 

operating a CMV (49 CFR 380.502(b)). 

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 FMCSA’s performance 

of functions; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (3) ways for the 

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 Railroad Administration 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with Part 211 of Title 

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

notice is hereby given that the Federal 

Railroad Administration (FRA) has 

received a request for a waiver of 

compliance from certain requirements 

of its safety standards. The individual 

petition is described below, including 

the party seeking relief, the regulatory 

provisions involved, the nature of the 

relief being requested, and the 

petitioner’s arguments in favor of relief. 

Terminal Railroad Association of Saint 

Louis 

(Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA– 

2009–0026) 

The Terminal Railroad Association of 

Saint Louis (TRRA) seeks a permanent 

waiver of compliance with the 

Locomotive Safety Standards, 49 CFR 

229.21(a), as it pertains to the record 

keeping requirement for locomotive 

daily inspection reports. If their request 

is granted, TRRA will file the required 

report electronically in a secure 

centralized database that would be set 

up to track and store the daily 

inspection records for the required 92 

days. The railroad states that each 

employee performing the inspections 

would be provided a unique electronic 

identification which will be utilized in 

place of the signature. All requirements, 

date, time location, person conducting 

inspection, and any non-complying 

conditions will be reported 

electronically. TRRA utilizes an 

onboard record of daily inspection and 

will continue to do so if their request is 

granted. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data, or 

comments. FRA does not anticipate 

scheduling a public hearing in 

connection with these proceedings since 

the facts do not appear to warrant a 

hearing. If any interested party desires 

an opportunity for oral comment, they 

should notify FRA, in writing, before 

the end of the comment period and 

specify the basis for their request.

proceedings should identify the
