Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 108 / Monday, June 6, 2011 / Notices
submission, FMCSA for the first time
estimates the extent of voluntary EOBR
use by motor carriers, and subtracts that
same number from its estimate of the
extent of the use of written RODS. The
Agency maintains its OMB-approved
estimates of the total number of CMV
drivers subject to the HOS rules, and the
total number of CMV drivers subject to
an Agency remedial HOS directive.
By this notice, the Agency seeks
public comment on its revised estimate
of the paperwork burden of the HOS
rules.
Title: Hours of Service (HOS) of
Drivers Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0001.
Type of Request: Revision and
extension of a currently-approved
information collection.
Respondents: Motor Carriers, Drivers
of CMVs.
Estimated Annual Respondents: 4.93
million [4.60 million drivers + 0.33
million active motor carriers = 4.93
million respondents].
Estimated Time per Response: A
driver employing a paper RODS takes an
average of 6.5 minutes to complete it; a
driver employing an EOBR takes an
average of 2 minutes to complete it. A
driver takes an average of 5 minutes to
forward a paper RODS to the motor
carrier; a driver employing an EOBR is
relieved of this task by automation.
Whether using a paper or EOBR RODS,
a motor carrier takes 2 minutes to
review a RODS and its corresponding
supporting documents, and 1 additional
minute to maintain those supporting
documents. For those motor carriers
using an EOBR, the ICR burden of
maintaining the RODS is eliminated by
automation; for those motor carriers
using paper RODS, 1 minute is required
to maintain the RODS.
Expiration Date: 8/31/2011.
Estimated Frequency of Response:
Drivers: 240 days per year, on average.
Motor Carriers: 240 days per year, on
average.
Estimated Annual Responses:
3,843.59 million—the sum of the
following:
A. Driver Tasks
(1) Filling out the RODS: 1,104
million, and
(2) Forwarding the RODS to the motor
carrier: 102.23 million.

B. Motor Carrier Tasks
(1) Reviewing the RODS: 552 million,
(2) Maintaining the RODS: 981.36
million, and
(3) Maintaining the supporting
documents: 1,104 million.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
172.08 million burden hours [118.92

million driver hours + 53.16 million
carrier hours = 172.08].
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 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 information
collected. The Agency will summarize
or include your comments in the request
for OMB’s clearance of this ICR.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
MCSAC
Section 4144 of the Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity
Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU)
(Pub. L. 109–59, 119 Stat. 1144, August
10, 2005) required the Secretary of
Transportation to establish a Motor
Carrier Safety Advisory Committee. The
committee provides advice and
recommendations to the FMCSA
Administrator on motor carrier safety
programs and regulations, and operates
in accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App
2).
Patterns of Safety Violations Task
SAFETEA–LU Section 4133 allows
the Secretary to suspend, amend, or
revoke any part of a motor carrier’s
registration if the Secretary finds that an
officer of a motor carrier engages, or has
engaged, in a pattern or practice of
avoiding compliance, or masking or
otherwise concealing noncompliance,
with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations and Hazardous Materials
Regulations, while serving as an officer
of any motor carrier. The section defines
an officer as ‘‘an owner, director, chief
executive officer, chief financial officer,
safety director, vehicle maintenance
supervisor, and driver supervisor of a
motor carrier, regardless of title attached
to these functions, and any person,
however designated, exercising
controlling influence over the
operations of a motor carrier.’’ Following
deliberations of the Committee, the
MCSAC will submit written
recommendations in the form of a report
to the FMCSA Administrator on this
topic following its June 2011 meeting.
Roadside Violation Severity Weightings
Task
FMCSA’s new compliance and
enforcement program, Compliance,
Safety, Accountability (CSA), includes a
new measurement system to assess
carriers’ safety performance. One of the
core purposes of the CSMS is to identify
poor motor carrier safety behavior.
Building upon FMCSA’s previous Safety
Status Measurement System (SafeStat),
CSMS quantifies the on-road safety
performance of carriers to identify
candidates for interventions, determine
the specific safety problems exhibited
by a carrier and its drivers, and monitor
whether safety problems are improving
or worsening. FMCSA requests that

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 108 / Monday, June 6, 2011 / Notices
MCSAC provide the CSA team with its
observations and recommendations
regarding the violation groups and their
associated crash risk by reviewing the
tables of violation groups. The
Committee will designate a
subcommittee to address this task and
subsequently report back to the full
MCSAC.
Long-Haul Cross Border Trucking Pilot
Program Task
During the MCSAC’s March 2011
meeting, FMCSA tasked the Committee
with designating a subcommittee to
provide independent monitoring for the
program. The subcommittee would then
report back to the full committee.
II. Meeting Participation
Oral comments from the public will
be heard during the last hour of each
day of this meeting. Members of the
public may submit written comments on
this topic by Wednesday, June 15, 2011,
