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. This information
collection concerns the requirement that
motor carriers maintain a record of all
accidents in which their commercial
motor vehicles (CMVs) are involved.
The collection is necessary for FMCSA
to assess the effectiveness of the safety
management controls of motor carriers.
On April 23, 2007, FMCSA published a
Federal Register notice allowing for a
60-day comment period on the ICR. One
comment was received.
DATES: Please send your comments by
September 24, 2007. OMB must receive
your comments by this date in order to
act quickly on the ICR.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, 725
Seventeenth Street, NW., Washington,
DC 20503, Attention: DOT/FMCSA Desk
Officer.

Tom Yager, Chief, Driver & Carrier
Operations Division, Office of Bus &
Truck Standards and Development
(MC–PSD): Telephone: 202–366–4009;
e-mail MCPSD@dot.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Accident Recordkeeping
Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0009.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently-approved collection.
Respondents: Motor Carriers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
106,800 motor carriers.
Estimated Time per Response: 18
minutes.
Expiration Date: September 30, 2007.
Frequency of Response: Once per
year.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
32,040 hours. 106,800 motor carriers
recording an accident × 18 minutes per
response/60 minutes in an hour.
Background
Title 49 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 390.15, requires
interstate motor carriers to maintain an
‘‘accident register’’ consisting of a list of
‘‘accidents’’ (as defined in 49 CFR
390.5) that involve their CMVs and
occur in interstate or intrastate
commerce. The register may be
electronic. The information for each
accident must include, at a minimum,
the following elements: Date of
accident; city or town in which or most
near where the accident occurred and
PO 00000
Frm 00118
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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. A motor carrier
must maintain the required information
in the accident register for three years
after the date of the accident.
The FMCSA uses this data to analyze
the safety performance of motor carriers
and drivers of CMVs. This information
supports the DOT strategic goal of
safety. Information concerning crashes
strengthens FMCSA’s ability to assess
motor carrier safety performance and to
assist motor carriers in preventing
crashes and reducing crash severity. The
FMCSA uses this data to target motor
carriers with the weakest safety records.
Response to Comment: On April 23,
2007, FMCSA published a Federal
Register notice allowing for a 60-day
comment period on the proposed
renewal of this ICR. One comment was
received from the American Trucking
Association (ATA). In that comment, the
ATA asked the Agency to reconsider its
calculations to account for the fact that
the States historically under-report their
accidents to FMCSA. For this ICR,
FMCSA did not use the accident data
reported by the States to FMCSA. The
Agency employed two databases
compiled by the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration because
they produced the most accurate and
reliable data for calculating the
paperwork burden of this ICR.
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.

Information Technology.
