Limitation on Claims Against Proposed Public Transportation Projects, 14794-14795 [2017-05635]

Download as PDF asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 14794 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 22, 2017 / Notices reflect changes in the requirements for accident recordkeeping. The increase is due to two revised estimates: (1) The population of motor carriers subject to the regulation, from 520,000 to 886,122, and (2) the number of reportable accidents, from 89,000 to 120,522. The Agency has amended the population of motor carriers to include the accident recordkeeping burden of intrastate motor carriers. In past estimates, the Agency had taken the position that the accident recordkeeping of intrastate carriers occurred as a result of State law. However, the OMB has directed FMCSA to include such intrastate activities in its IC estimates, so we do so in this burden estimate statement for the first time. The Agency estimates that 886,122 interstate and intrastate motor carriers are subject to accident register requirements (508,367 interstate and 377,755 intrastate motor carriers). The Agency further estimates that the number of accidents that must be reported by intrastate or interstate motor carriers is 120,522. Title: Accident Recordkeeping Requirements. OMB Control Number: 2126–0009. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information collection. Respondents: Motor Carriers. Estimated Number of Respondents: 886,122 motor carriers. Estimated Number of Responses: 120,522. Estimated Time per Response: 18 minutes. Expiration Date: July 31, 2017. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 36,157 hours [120,522 accidents × 18 minutes per response/60 minutes in an hour]. Definition: ‘‘Accident’’ is an occurrence involving a CMV operating on a public road which results in: (1)A fatality, (2) bodily injury to a person who, as a result of the injury, receives medical treatment away from the scene of the accident, or (3) one or more motor vehicles being towed from the scene (49 CFR 390.5). Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including: (1) Whether the collection is necessary for the FMCSA’s performance; (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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:14 Mar 21, 2017 Jkt 241001 the request for OMB’s clearance of this information collection. Issued under the authority of 49 CFR 1.87 on: March 16, 2017. G. Kelly Regal, Associate Administrator for Office of Research and Information Technology.
