Re-Opening RDRs
Agency Use of Data
If a submitter receives a determination
that the crash was preventable or
undecided, or the RDR is closed for
another reason, the RDR may be reopened once. The request will be
reconsidered by FMCSA only if
additional documentation or new
information is submitted. If additional
information or documentation is not
provided, the RDR will be closed with
the initial determination without further
consideration.
Additionally, once an RDR is closed,
the Agency will not be responding to
additional comments submitted through
the DataQs system. The RDR must be
reopened and additional information
submitted as cause for FMCSA to
reconsider the determination.
As explained in the July 17, 2017,
Federal Register notice, final
determinations made through this
demonstration program will be noted on
the Agency’s Safety Measurement
System (SMS). No crashes are removed
from SMS as a result of this
demonstration program. For the purpose
of prioritizing motor carriers for safety
interventions, FMCSA will continue to
use all crashes during the demonstration
program.
The crash preventability
determinations made under this
program will not affect any carrier’s
safety rating or ability to operate.
FMCSA will not issue penalties or
sanctions based on these
determinations, nor do they establish
any obligations or impose legal
requirements on any motor carrier.
These determinations also will not
change how the Agency will make
enforcement decisions.
Information submitted about a crash
as part of this demonstration program
may be shared with the appropriate
FMCSA Division Office for further
investigation. Likewise, if an
investigation reveals additional
information about a crash for which the
demonstration program made a
preventability determination, this
information may be shared within the
Agency and the crash subjected to
further review.
Throughout this demonstration
period, FMCSA will maintain data so
that at the conclusion of the
demonstration program, the Agency can
conduct analyses. It is expected that the
Agency’s analyses would include, but
not be limited to, the cost of operating
the test and its extrapolation to a larger
program; future crash rates of carriers
that submitted RDRs, future crash rates
of motor carriers with not preventable
crashes, and impacts to SMS crash rates
and improvements to prioritization.
Additionally, under 49 U.S.C. 504(f),
‘‘No part of a report of an accident
occurring in operations of a motor
carrier, motor carrier of migrant
workers, or motor private carrier and
required by the Secretary, and no part
of a report of an investigation of the
accident made by the Secretary, may be
admitted into evidence or used in a civil
action for damages related to a matter
mentioned in the report or
investigation.’’ The crash preventability
determinations made under this
program are intended only for FMCSA’s
use in determining whether the program
may improve the Agency’s prioritization
tools. These determinations are made on
the basis of information available to
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Input From the Public
The opportunity to collect
information from other parties is critical
to determining the impacts and costs of
this demonstration program. During the
demonstration program, if a crash
review results in a preliminary
determination that the crash was not
preventable, the Agency will publish
the crash report number, U.S. DOT
number, motor carrier name, crash event
date, crash event State and crash type
on its DataQs website.
Any member of the public with
documentation or data to refute the
proposed determination has 30 days to
submit the documentation through the
DataQs system at https://
dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov. Information on
how to submit additional
documentation is available at https://
www.fmcsa.dot.gov/safety/crashpreventability-demonstration-program.
Any new documents or data will be
reviewed and considered before FMCSA
makes a final determination. Final
determinations will be published on
SMS within 60 days of the final
decision.
However, based on feedback from
some stakeholders, the Agency
recognizes that some parties involved in
the crash might not be able to provide
input within 30 days. The Agency will
maintain a list of not preventable final
determinations on its website at https://
www.fmcsa.dot.gov/safety/crashpreventability-demonstration-program.
This list will be updated monthly. If at
any time during this demonstration
program a party has information and
documentation to counter this
determination, FMCSA will accept that
information at Crash.Preventability@
dot.gov. Therefore, determinations may
be revised after consideration of this
additional information.

FMCSA at the time of the determination
and are not appropriate for use by
private parties in civil litigation. These
determinations do not establish fault or
negligence by any party and are made
by persons with no personal knowledge
of the crash.
DataQs
Motor carriers and drivers, as well as
any member of the public, may submit
crash preventability RDRs through the
Agency’s DataQs system. DataQs has
been modified to provide this
functionality. The DataQs system is
available at: https://
dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov. The DataQs User
Guide advises that it should take 2
weeks to have an RDR reviewed. The
User Guide is for RDRs that are not in
the demonstration program. Based on
the volume of RDRs submitted, the
Agency’s timeframe for review is
averaging 3 to 4 weeks.
Additional information on how to
submit a crash preventability RDR is
available on the Agency’s website at
https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/safety/crashpreventability-demonstration-program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: Executive Order 12862,
‘‘Setting Customer Service Standards,’’
directs Federal agencies to provide
service to the public that matches or
exceeds the best service available in the
private sector (58 FR 48257, Sept. 11,
1993). In order to work continuously to
ensure that our programs are effective
and meet our customers’ needs, FMCSA
seeks to extend OMB approval of a
generic clearance to collect qualitative
feedback from our customers on our
service delivery. The surveys covered in
this generic clearance provide a way for
FMCSA to collect this data directly from
our customers.
The surveys covered by this collection
provide a means to garner qualitative
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in
accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback we
mean information that provides useful
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:17 Feb 06, 2018
Jkt 244001
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training, or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. The information
collected from our customers and
stakeholders will help ensure that users
have an effective, efficient, and
satisfying experience with FMCSA’s
programs.
The solicitation of feedback targets
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
are assessed to plan and inform efforts
to improve or maintain the quality of
service offered to the public. If this
information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
The Agency only submits a collection
for approval under this generic
clearance if it meets the following
conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.

Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
This type of generic clearance for
qualitative information will not be used
for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address: The target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
FMCSA estimates that the annual
burden hour for this information
collection has decreased by
approximately 1,218 hours from the
previously approved 3,450 hours. This
is due in part to (1) discontinuing a
previously OMB approved mail-based
customer satisfaction survey, and (2)
adding the annual Analysis, Research,
and Technology sessions.
Additionally, because of
discontinuing mail surveys, respondents
will not incur any non-hour costs (e.g.
stamps), which results in an estimated
decrease of $440 annually. The expected
annual cost to the Federal Government
has decreased from $200,800 annually
to $137,076 due in part to the cost
difference in the discontinuation of the
customer satisfaction survey using
outreach materials previously approved
and estimating the implementation of
the ART Forum contracts.
