B. Study Group Drivers
• Visit the pilot program Web site
(www.sleeperberthstudy.com) and
complete an electronic application and
screening questionnaire, which will
request the following details, at a
minimum: Name, contact information,
MEC expiration date, CDL status, typical
operation type (solo, team, or slip seat),
location of their home terminal, whether
they regularly drive a truck equipped
with a sleeper berth, whether they
regularly use their sleeper berth,
whether they have previously
completed modules 3 and 8 of the
NAFMP, and whether they currently use
paper or electronic HOS logs.
• Participate in a phone call with a
member of the research team to confirm
interest and eligibility.
• Obtain carrier permission to
participate (unless the individual is an
independent owner operator).
• Provide written, informed consent
after a briefing session on data
collection techniques and methods.
VIII. Data Collection Plan
Details of the data collection plan for
this pilot program are subject to change
based on comments to the docket and
further review by analysts. Factors to be
collected from each participating carrier
and driver before the pilot program
begins are discussed in Section VII of
this notice. Participating drivers will
drive an instrumented vehicle
(instrumented by the research team with
a study-provided OBMS and custom
ELD) for up to 90 days. During a prestudy briefing, participants will receive
a study-provided smartphone (installed
with a variety of data collection
applications), as well as a wrist
actigraphy device.7 Participants whose
vehicles are not already equipped with
a compatible ELD will be provided with
an approved ELD application (installed
on the study-provided smartphone). At
a minimum, FMCSA will gather the
following data during the study:
• ELD data, to evaluate duty hours
and timing, driving hours and timing,
rest breaks, off-duty time, and restart
breaks.
• OBMS data, to evaluate driving
behaviors, SCEs (crashes, near-crashes,
and other safety-related events), reaction
time, fatigue, lane deviations, and traffic
density (as discerned from viewpoints
of the multiple cameras), road
curvature, and speed variability.
• Roadside violation data (from
carriers and drivers, as well as the
7 Participants will wear wrist actigraphy devices
(similar to commercially available smart fitness
watches) throughout their time in the study.
Actigraphy is a minimally obtrusive, validated
approach to assessing sleep/wake patterns.

Commercial Driver’s License
Information System (CDLIS)), including
vehicle, duty status, hazardous
materials, and cargo-related violations
(contingent upon inspections).
• Wrist actigraphy data, to evaluate
total sleep time, time of day sleep was
taken, sleep latency, and intermittent
wakefulness.
• Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) 8
data, to evaluate drivers’ behavioral
alertness based on reaction times.
• Subjective sleepiness ratings, using
the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale,9 to
measure drivers’ perceptions of their
fatigue levels.
• Sleep logs, in which drivers will
document when they are going to sleep,
when they wake up, and whether they
are using the sleeper berth. For splitsleep days, drivers will record how and
why they chose to split their sleep.
Other information that may be needed
will also be collected through the
participating carrier. Every effort will be
made to reduce the burden on the
carrier in collecting and reporting this
data.
IX. Paperwork Reduction Act
The pilot program will require
participating motor carriers to collect,
maintain, and report to FMCSA certain
information about their drivers who are
participating in the pilot program. This
will include identifying information and
safety performance data for use in
analyzing the drivers’ safety history.
The Agency will develop forms to
promote uniformity in the data collected
by the pilot carriers.
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520)
prohibits agencies from conducting
information collection (IC) activities
until they analyze the need for the
collection of information and how the
collected data will be managed.
Agencies must also analyze whether
technology could be used to reduce the
burden imposed on those providing the
data. The Agency must estimate the
time burden required to respond to the
IC requirements, such as the time
required to complete a particular form.
The Agency submits its IC analysis and
burden estimate to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) as a
formal information collection request
(ICR); the Agency cannot conduct the
8 For this study, drivers will be required to
complete daily iterations of a brief PVT, a 3-minute
behavioral alertness test which measures drivers’
alertness levels by timing their reactions to visual
stimuli.
9 The KSS is a 9-point Likert-type scale ranging
from ‘‘extremely alert’’ to ‘‘extremely sleepy’’ and
has been widely used in the literature as a
subjective assessment of alertness.

information collection until OMB
approves the ICR.
Because certain aspects of this pilot
program—such as the content of forms
and reports—have not been finalized,
the Agency is not posting possible IC
burden data at this time. When the pilot
program is implemented, this
information will be posted and
additional comments will be taken.
X. Removal From the Program
FMCSA reserves the right to remove
any motor carrier or driver from the
pilot program for reasons related, but
not limited to, failure to meet all
program requirements.
XI. Request for Public Comments
Instructions for filing comments to the
public docket are included earlier in
this notice. FMCSA seeks information in
the following areas, but responses need
not be limited to these questions:
1. Are any additional safeguards
needed to ensure that the pilot program
provides a level of safety equivalent to
that without the consolidated sleeper
berth time exemption?
2. Should completion of modules 3
and 8 of the NAFMP be required for
study participation (instead of
recommended)?
3. Are the data collection efforts
proposed for carriers and drivers so
burdensome as to discourage
participation?
4. How should data collection efforts
differ for team drivers?
