Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 101 / Thursday, May 28, 2009 / Notices
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.

The Terminal Railroad Association of

waiver of compliance with the
Locomotive Safety Standards, 49 CFR
229.21(a), as it pertains to the record

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

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
