II. Background
On April 21, 2017, FMCSA published
a notice announcing its decision to
renew exemptions for 82 individuals
from the vision requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10) to operate a CMV in
interstate commerce and requested
comments from the public (82 FR
18818). The public comment period
ended on May 22, 2017, and no
comments were received.
As stated in the previous notice,
FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of
these applicants and determined that
renewing these exemptions would
achieve a level of safety equivalent to or
greater than the level that would be
achieved by complying with the current
regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10).
The physical qualification standard
for drivers regarding vision found in 49
CFR 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is
physically qualified to driver a CMV if
that person:
Has distant visual acuity of at least 20/40
(Snellen) in each eye without corrective
lenses or visual acuity separately corrected to
20/40 (Snellen) or better with corrective
lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least 20/
40 (Snellen) in both eyes with or without
corrective lenses, field of vision of at least
70° in the horizontal meridian in each eye,
and the ability to recognize the colors of
traffic signals and devices showing red,
green, and amber.
III. Discussion of Comments
FMCSA received no comments in this
preceding.
VI. Conclusion
As of May 7, 2017, and in accordance
with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, the

Background
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
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. On March 16,

Title: Annual Report of Class I Motor
Carriers of Passengers.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0031.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently-approved collection.
Respondents: Motor Carriers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
408.
Estimated Time per Response: 18
minutes.
Expiration Date: October 31, 2017.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 122
hours (408 responses × 18 minutes per
response/60 = 122.4 rounded to 122).
Section 14123 of title 49 of the United
States Code (U.S.C.) requires that the
Secretary of Transportation collect
annual financial reports from certain
for-hire motor carriers of passengers. All
Class I for-hire motor carriers of
passengers, carriers with gross annual
operating revenues of $5 million or
more, are required to complete and file
a Motor Carrier Annual Report Form
MP–1 for Motor Carriers of Passengers
(Form MP–1). See 49 CFR 369.3(a) and
369.4(a). The Form MP–1 annual report
will be used to collect financial,
operating, equipment and employment
data from individual motor carriers of
passengers.
The data collected will be available to
users in its original form. The data are
not used by the Department of
Transportation, and, based on a
comment to a proposed rule finalized on
December 17, 2013 (78 FR 76241), the
data are no longer used by trucking
associations. Insurance companies,
consultants, law firms, academia, trade
publications and others may use the
data to assess industry growth and its
impact on the economy, to identify
industry changes that may affect

national transportation, and to monitor
company financial stability. The Bureau
of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the U.S.
Department of Commerce uses the data
to inform the national annual inputoutput and Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) estimates. BEA uses the data to
prepare estimates of industry output
and provide details on inputs to
supplement the information on motor
carriers of passengers collected by the
U.S. Census Bureau.
In response to the March 16, 2017 60day Federal Register notice (82 FR
14103), FMCSA received two comments
questioning why the Agency continues
to require the annual report filing by
Class I passenger motor vehicles,
despite FMCSA’s statement that the data
is not used by the Agency. FMCSA’s
response to the comments is 49 U.S.C.
14123 requires that the Agency collect
such annual financial reports.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for FMCSA to perform its
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.

requirement in one eye.

II. Background
On April 21, 2017, FMCSA published a notice announcing its decision
to renew exemptions for 82 individuals from the vision requirement in
49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) to operate a CMV in interstate commerce and
requested comments from the public (82 FR 18818). The public comment
period ended on May 22, 2017, and no comments were received.
As stated in the previous notice, FMCSA has evaluated the
eligibility of these applicants and determined that renewing these
exemptions would achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater
than the level that would be achieved by complying with the current
regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10).
The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding vision
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is physically
qualified to driver a CMV if that person:
Has distant visual acuity of at least 20/40 (Snellen) in each
eye without corrective lenses or visual acuity separately corrected
to 20/40 (Snellen) or better with corrective lenses, distant
binocular acuity of a least 20/40 (Snellen) in both eyes with or
without corrective lenses, field of vision of at least 70[deg] in
the horizontal meridian in each eye, and the ability to recognize
the colors of traffic signals and devices showing red, green, and
amber.
III. Discussion of Comments
FMCSA received no comments in this preceding.
VI. Conclusion
As of May 7, 2017, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315, the
