This final rule removes an information collection burden without adversely impacting safety. DATES: Effective September 17, 2020. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Jose´ Cestero, Vehicle and Roadside Operations Division, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590–0001, (202) 366–5541, jose.cestero@dot.gov. SUMMARY: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the public to better inform its rulemaking process. DOT posts these comments, without edit, including any personal information the commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of records notice (DOT/ALL– 14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at www.transportation.gov/privacy. 1. The authority citation for Part 300 is revised to read as follows: Passenger Carrier No-Defect Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Transportation (DOT). AGENCY: 17:17 Aug 17, 2020 Benefits and Costs Final rule. B. Privacy Act ■ VerDate Sep<11>2014 ACTION: Jkt 250001 This rule affects all passenger carriers currently subject to 49 CFR 396.11, Driver vehicle inspection reports (DVIR). As a result of the Agency’s ongoing effort to evaluate existing regulations for necessity and effectiveness, FMCSA rescinds the requirement that drivers of passengercarrying commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) operating in interstate commerce submit, and motor carriers retain, DVIRs when the driver has neither found nor been made aware of any vehicle defects or deficiencies (nodefect DVIRs). This final rule removes an information collection burden without impacting safety adversely. PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4700 50787 Sfmt 4700 Current regulations require drivers employed by passenger carriers—except drivers for private (nonbusiness) passenger carriers, driveaway-towaway operations, or those operating only one CMV—to report on the DVIR any vehicle defects noted or discovered during a driving day that would affect the safe operation of the CMV or result in a mechanical breakdown. Drivers must submit this report to the employing passenger carrier so that repairs can be made. Prior to this final rule, § 396.11(a)(2) required drivers of passenger-carrying CMVs to file the DVIR even if there were no vehicle defects to report. Motor carriers were required to maintain the original DVIR, the certification of repairs, and the certification of the driver’s review for 3 months from the date the written report was prepared. This final rule eliminates the need for a driver to file, and a motor carrier to maintain, a no-defect DVIR. The Agency estimates that passengercarrying CMV drivers spend approximately 2.4 million hours each year completing no-defect DVIRs, and that the final rule will result in potential cost savings of $74 million per year. There is no discernible safety benefit to this no defect DVIR burden. The Agency estimates that this rulemaking will result in reduced government-imposed costs, and therefore is a deregulatory action under Executive Order (E.O.) 13771, ‘‘Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs’’ (issued January 30, 2017, and published February 3, 2017, at 82 FR 9339). III. Legal Basis for the Rulemaking This final rule is based on the authority of the Motor Carrier Act of 1935 (1935 Act) (49 U.S.C. 31502(b)) and the Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1984 (1984 Act) (49 U.S.C. 31136(a)), both of which are broadly discretionary. The 1935 Act provides that the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) may prescribe requirements for the following: • Qualifications and maximum hours of service of employees of, and safety of operation and equipment of, a motor carrier (section 31502(b)(l)) and • Qualifications and maximum hours of service of employees of, and standards of equipment of, a motor private carrier, when needed to promote safety of operation (section 31502(b)(2)). This rulemaking is based on the Secretary’s authority under section 31502(b)(1) and (2). The 1984 Act authorizes the Secretary to regulate drivers, motor carriers, and vehicle equipment.
