SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Format
and Agenda of Listening Session:
During the public webinars, FMCSA
will provide the following:
Thursday, December 3, 2009, at 3:30
p.m. EST, Webinar—Part 1: CSA 2010
Overview and Operational Model Test
Results. This webinar will focus on
describing the three main components
of CSA 2010 and the operational model
test, including quantitative and
qualitative results to date. In February
2008, FMCSA began testing the new
CSA 2010 operational model in four
States, CO, GA, MO, and NJ, and has
since added four additional states, KS,
MD, MN, and MT. This test is designed
to validate the efficiency and
effectiveness of the CSA 2010
operational model.
Thursday, December 10, 2009, at 3:30
p.m. EST, Webinar—Part 2: CSA 2010
from a Motor Carrier and Driver
Perspective. This webinar will focus on
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
program implementation, and is
designed to provide motor carriers,
drivers, and other stakeholders with
specific information on what will
change and how stakeholders can
prepare for CSA 2010 implementation.
Each webinar will consist of a
presentation delivered by FMCSA
personnel, followed by a facilitated
panel discussion. Participants in the
panel will include CSA 2010 subject
matter experts, operational model test
participants, field staff, and State law
enforcement personnel. The participants
will discuss their knowledge and
experience in conducting the CSA 2010
operational model test, identify best
practices, and provide guidance for
implementation. Each 90-minute
webinar will be divided into two 45minute segments. The first segment will
be used to present information to
participants and for the panel
discussion. The second segment will be
used for questions and answers.
Participants should submit questions
to be addressed during the webinars
with their registration form. In addition,
participants will be able to submit
questions during the webinars. CSA
2010 subject matter experts will be
available during the listening sessions to
address questions and comments.
Registration information and
instructions:
1. To register for the webinars,
attendees must register online at
https://csa2010.fmcsa.dot.gov by
November 30, 2009.
2. After registration, participants will
receive the specific Internet address
(uniform resource locator, URL) and
access information for the webinars.
Information from the CSA 2010 public
webinars will be posted on the Agency’s
public Web site at https://
csa2010.fmcsa.dot.gov and in the docket
after the webinars.
Background
In August 2004, FMCSA embarked on
CSA 2010, a comprehensive review and
analysis of FMCSA’s motor vehicle
safety compliance and enforcement
program (69 FR 51748, August 20,
2004). The ultimate goal of CSA 2010 is
to achieve a greater reduction in large
truck and bus crashes, injuries, and
fatalities while making efficient and
effective use of the resources of FMCSA
and its State partners. CSA 2010 will
help the Agency assess the safety
performance of a greater segment of the
motor carrier industry and intervene
with more carriers and drivers to change
unsafe behavior early. In contrast to the
Agency’s current operational model,
CSA 2010 is characterized by (1) a more
comprehensive safety measurement

Frm 00128

56919
system; (2) a broader array of
interventions; and (3) upon adoption of
a final rule, a safety fitness
determination methodology that is
based on performance data rather than
an on-site compliance review. FMCSA
has made significant progress in its
development and testing of the CSA
2010 operational model, and is
preparing for implementation in 2010.
For more information on CSA 2010,
including its major components,
implementation plans, and the field test,
visit https://csa2010.fmcsa.dot.gov.
FMCSA understands how important it
is to obtain feedback on this new CSA
2010 compliance and enforcement
program from partners, stakeholders,
and other interested parties. The Agency
conducted nine listening sessions to
date, six in 2004, and one each in 2006,
2007 and 2008. Through these listening
sessions, FMCSA provided information
and obtained feedback on: (1) Ways the
Agency could improve its process of
monitoring and assessing motor carrier
industry safety performance, (2) the
design and development of CSA 2010,
and (3) the results of the ongoing CSA
2010 operational model test. To view
the final report for each of these
listening sessions, including the
feedback received, visit the Outreach
and Media page on https://
csa2010.fmcsa.dot.gov.
Comments Requested
FMCSA also requests written
comments from all interested parties on
the CSA 2010 program elements. For
more detailed information on CSA 2010
commenters are invited to go to https://
csa2010.fmcsa.dot.gov. Each commenter
is requested to provide supporting data
and rationale wherever possible.
