Agency Information Collection

Approved Information Collection
Request: Accident Recordkeeping
Requirements
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), FMCSA announces its plan to
submit the Information Collection
Request (ICR) described below to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for its review and approval. The
FMCSA requests approval to revise and
extend an ICR entitled, ‘‘Accident
Recordkeeping Requirements.’’ The
collection is necessary for FMCSA to
assess the effectiveness of the safety
management controls of motor carriers.
On September 9, 2010, FMCSA
published a Federal Register notice
allowing for a 60-day comment period
on the ICR. No comment was received.
DATES: Please send your comments by
January 13, 2011. OMB must receive
your comments by this date in order to
act quickly on the ICR.
ADDRESSES: All comments should
reference Federal Docket Management
System (FDMS) Docket Number
FMCSA–2010–0378. Interested persons
are invited to submit written comments
on the proposed information collection
to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget. Comments
should be addressed to the attention of
the Desk Officer, Department of
Transportation/Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration, and sent via
electronic mail to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
Accident Recordkeeping Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0009.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently-approved information
collection.
Respondents: Motor carriers engaged
in interstate commerce.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
500,000.
Estimated Number of Responses:
75,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 18
minutes.
Expiration Date: February 28, 2011.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
22,500 hours.
Improved FMCSA accident data
provides a more accurate estimate of the
total responses to this information
collection each year: 75,000. The
Agency’s previous estimate was 106,800
responses. FMCSA retains its prior
estimate that a motor carrier requires
approximately 18 minutes, on average,
to complete the tasks necessary to
comply with § 390.15, i.e., collecting the
required information about the accident,
entering it into the Accident Register
and maintaining it and other documents
required by § 390.15. Therefore, the
annual burden hours for all motor
carriers is 22,500 hours (rounded)
(75,000 responses x 18 minutes each
divided by 60 minutes per hour).
Background: Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), Federal agencies must obtain
approval from OMB for each IC they
conduct, sponsor, or require through
regulations. FMCSA has determined
that it needs to revise the currentlyapproved estimate for OMB Control No.
2126–0009, ‘‘Accident Recordkeeping
Requirements.’’ The regulation
underlying this ICR is 49 CFR 390.15,
‘‘Assistance in investigations and special
studies.’’ It requires motor carriers to
make all records and information
pertaining to specified accidents
available to an authorized representative
or special agent of the FMCSA upon
request, or as part of an inquiry.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 14, 2010 / Notices
Interstate motor carriers are required to
maintain an Accident Register
consisting of specified information
about each accident involving their
commercial motor vehicles. 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, 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. Motor
carriers must maintain the required
information in the Accident Register for
3 years after the date of the accident.
This ICR strengthens FMCSA’s ability
to assess motor carrier safety
performance. These assessments enable
FMCSA to direct its enforcement
resources to the motor carriers with the
weakest safety records, helping those
carriers prevent accidents and reduce
their severity.
On February 8, 2008, OMB approved
FMCSA’s estimate for this ICR of 32,040
annual burden hours and established an
expiration date for this ICR of February
28, 2011. Today, FMCSA announces its
plan to request that OMB approve
revision of this estimate to 22,500
annual burden hours.
Definitions: Each of these definitions
can be found at 49 CFR 390.5: ‘‘Motor
carrier’’: Any person engaged in a
business affecting interstate commerce
who owns or leases a commercial motor
vehicle in connection with that
business, or assigns employees to
operate it. ‘‘Commercial motor vehicle’’:
A self-propelled or towed vehicle used
on the highways in interstate commerce
to transport passengers or property, if
the vehicle—(1) Has a gross vehicle
weight rating or gross combination
weight rating, or gross vehicle weight or
gross combination weight of 10,001
pounds, whichever is greater; or (2) Is
designed or used to transport more than
8 passengers (including the driver) for
compensation; or (3) Is designed or used
to transport more than 15 passengers,
including the driver, and is not used to
transport passengers for compensation;
or (4) Is used in transporting material
found by the Secretary of Transportation
to be hazardous under section 5103 of
title 49, United States Code, and
transported in a quantity requiring
placarding under regulations prescribed
by the Secretary under section 5103.
‘‘Accident’’: an occurrence involving a
commercial motor vehicle operating on
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:09 Dec 13, 2010
Jkt 223001
a highway in interstate or intrastate
commerce which results in: (i) A
fatality; (ii) bodily injury to a person
who, as a result of the injury, receives
medical treatment away from the scene
of the accident; or (iii) one or more
motor vehicles incurring disabling
damage as a result of the accident,
requiring the motor vehicle(s) to be
transported away from the scene by a
tow truck or other motor vehicle. The
term ‘‘accident’’ does not include: (i) An
occurrence involving only boarding or
alighting from a stationary motor
vehicle or (ii) an occurrence involving
only the loading or unloading of cargo.
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.
