The HM Safety Permit regulations (49 CFR part 385) require carriers to complete a ‘‘Combined Motor Carrier Identification Report and HM Permit Application’’ (Form MCS–150B). The HM Safety Permit regulations also require carriers to have a security program. As part of VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:24 Sep 08, 2010 Jkt 220001 the HM Safety Permit regulations, carriers are required to develop and maintain route plans so that law enforcement officials can verify the correct location of the HM shipment. The FMCSA requires companies holding permits to develop a communications plan that allows for the periodic tracking of the shipment. This information covers the record of communications that includes the time of the call and location of the shipment. The records may be kept by either the driver (e.g., recorded in the log book) or the company. These records must be kept, either physically or electronically, for at least six months at the company’s principal place of business or be readily available to employees at the company’s principal place of business. Title: Hazardous Materials Safety Permits. OMB Control Number: 2126–0030. Type of Request: Revision of a currently-approved information collection. Respondents: 1,425 motor carriers that transport permitted HM and complete the Form MCS–150B. Frequency: On occasion. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes. The communication between motor carriers and their drivers must take place at least two times per day and it is estimated that it will take 5 minutes to maintain a daily communication record for each driver. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 350,000 hours [4.2 million trips × 5 minutes/60 minutes per record = 350,000]. 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 performance of FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for 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. Issued on: September 2, 2010.

Telephone: 202–366–5721; e-mail: Jack.kostelnik@dot.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program. OMB Control Number: 2126–0010. Type of Request: Revision of a currently-approved information collection. Respondents: State MCSAP lead agencies. Estimated Number of Respondents: 52. Estimated Time per Response: Grant application preparation: 79.5 hours each; quarterly report preparation: 8 hours each; and inspection and data upload: 1 minute each. Expiration Date: February 28, 2011. Frequency of Response: Grant application: 1 annually; quarterly reports: 4 annually; and inspection and data upload: about 3.4 million annually. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 13,550 hours. The methods used to calculate the hours necessary to prepare grant applications, upload data, and prepare quarterly reports are based on interviews with the State and Federal personnel charged with those responsibilities. The information required to prepare the applications for grants and the subsequent reports is based on general information ordinarily maintained by the States in the general course of business, and only simple computations are required to determine burden hours. The grant applications and reports are submitted by the 50 States, 4 Territories, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. Each entity submits one grant request per year and four quarterly reports. About 3.4 million inspection reports are uploaded each year. The figures reflect only 20 percent of the total estimated hours to perform the activities, since MCSAP reimburses 80 percent of the eligible costs incurred in the administration of an approved plan as set forth in 49 CFR 350.303, 350.309 and 350.311. Labor hours are estimated and an average hourly rate for professional personnel is applied.
