SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 4007(b) of the Motor Carrier
Act of 1991 (Title IV of the Intermodal
Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of
1991 (ISTEA), Pub. L. 102–240, 105 Stat.
1914, 2152; 49 U.S.C. 31307) requires
the Secretary of Transportation to
establish Federal minimum training
requirements for drivers of LCVs. The
responsibility for implementing the
statutory requirement was subsequently
delegated to FMCSA (49 CFR 1.73). The
FMCSA, in a final rule entitled,
‘‘Minimum Training Requirements for
Longer Combination Vehicle (LCV)
Operators and LCV Driver-Instructor
Requirements’’ adopted implementing
regulations for the minimum training
requirements for the operators of LCVs
(see 69 FR 16722; March 30, 2004).
The 2004 final rule created an
information collection burden
concerning the certification of new,
current and non-grandfathered LCV
drivers; grandfathering those current
LCV drivers who are eligible for
certification; and the certification of
LCV driver-instructors. The
implementing regulations define an LCV
as any combination of a truck-tractor
and two or more semi-trailers or trailers,
which operate on the National System
of Interstate and Defense Highways (as
defined in 23 CFR 470.107) with a GVW
greater than 80,000 pounds. The
purpose of this rule is to enhance the
safety of LCV operations on our nation’s
highways.
Drivers are required to present a
training certification form to prospective
employers to prove they are certified to
drive LCVs. Motor carriers must not
allow drivers to operate LCVs without
ensuring the drivers have been properly
trained in accordance with the
requirements under 49 CFR part 380.
The training certification form provides
this assurance. Motor carriers must
maintain a copy of the LCV training
certification form in the driver
qualification file, required by 49 CFR
391.51. Motor carriers responsible for
the operation of LCVs must be able to
show Federal or State enforcement
officials that drivers responsible for
operating such LCVs are certified to do
so, based on the training certificate
located in their DQ files.
Title: Training Certification for
Drivers of Longer Combination Vehicles.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0026.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently-approved information
collection.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
Respondents: Drivers who have
completed the required LCV training
and driver instructors responsible for
conducting the required LCV training.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,200 drivers who complete the required
LCV training each year; 6 driver
instructors who complete LCV training
must document their qualifications to
train new LCV drivers.
Estimated Time per Response: 10
minutes for LCV drivers; 30 minutes for
LCV instructors.
Expiration Date: June 30, 2007.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 203
hours. The FMCSA estimates that 10
minutes would be needed for newly
certified LCV drivers to fulfill the
information collection requirement,
resulting in an annual information
collection burden of 200 hours [1,200
LCV drivers × 10 minutes/60 minutes =
200 hours]. The estimated annual
burden associated with instructor
certification would be 3 burden hours
[(2 classroom instructors × 10 minutes =
20 minutes) + (4 skills instructors × 15
minutes = 60 minutes) + (6 new
instructors × 15 minute administrative
burden per instructor certification = 90
minutes) = 170 minutes/60 minutes = 3
burden hours].
Definitions: The information
collection requirement for the LCV
training regulations under 49 CFR part
380 are applicable only to drivers of
LCVs, as defined in 49 CFR 380.105.
Section 380.105 defines LCV as any
combination of a truck-tractor and two
or more semi-trailers or trailers, which
operate on the National System of
Interstate and Defense Highways
(defined in 23 CFR 470.107) with a gross
vehicle weight greater than 80,000
pounds.
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;
(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.
