Notice of Intent To Survey and
Observe Medical Examiners Who
Certify the Physical Qualifications of
Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its plan to
request the Office of Management and
Budget’s (OMB) approval of an
information collection (IC) associated
with the Agency’s Medical Examiner
Performance Study. This information

collection effort would gather survey,
on-site observation, and interview data
on the decisionmaking process of
medical examiners (MEs) (which
include, but are not limited to, medical
doctors, doctors of osteopathy, doctors
of chiropractic, physician assistants,
and advanced practice nurses) who
conduct FMCSA physical examinations
of commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers. The survey would consist of a
sample of the several different
practitioner types for the purpose of
assessing ME knowledge of key
elements required for CMV interstate
driver certification. The survey would
also provide these medical practitioners
with an opportunity to report perceived
difficulties associated with the CMV
driver physical examination process.
Site visits would allow for the interview
and observation of medical examiners
during the actual physical examination
and certification decisionmaking
process.
Comments must be received on
or before August 18, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
FMCSA estimates that there are
approximately 4 to 5 million active
interstate drivers subject to FMCSA’s
medical standards. Interstate CMV
drivers are required to have a medical
examination every two years at a
minimum or more frequently at the
discretion of the medical examiner. A
medical certificate is typically valid for
two years after the date of examination,
so it is estimated that a minimum of 2
to 3 million medical examinations are
conducted each year. In the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users (SAFETEA–LU) (Pub. L. 109–59,
119 Stat. 1144; August 10, 2005)
Congress supports comprehensive
improvements in the FMCSA medical
program, including improving the
quality of the interstate CMV driver
physical qualification examination.
There has been no research to date that
captures the decisionmaking and
performance of MEs who determine the
physical qualifications of CMV drivers
operating throughout the United States.
In addition, there has been no
systematic consideration of ME
perceptions of difficulties or
uncertainties associated with the
examination process.
A Working Integrated Product Team
(WIPT) of ME peers experienced in
conducting CMV driver physical

qualification examinations will review
the methodology and materials for the
study, and data gained from 150 direct
observations of physical examinations
of CMV drivers. Results of the Medical
Examiner Performance Study would
ultimately be used to develop
recommendations for improving the
overall physical qualification process
and achieve FMCSA’s goals of reducing
crash rates, injuries, and fatalities
involving large trucks and buses.
This initiative is independent from
the earlier National Registry of Certified
Medical Examiner survey announced
September 29, 2005 (70 FR 56964), the
primary intent of which is to identify
those tasks most critical to competent
job performance via a role delineation
study.
Respondents: Medical examiners
(such as medical doctors, doctors of
osteopathy, doctors of chiropractic,
physician assistants, and advanced
practice nurses) who are currently
performing FMCSA physical
examinations of CMV drivers.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Survey—the estimated
average burden per response for each
survey is 30 minutes. Observation
consent forms—the estimated average
burden per visit for the medical
examiner or driver is 5 to 10 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
Survey—the estimated total annual
burden is 1250 hours for the
information collection based on the
following requirement for statistical
significance: 500 responses from each of
at least five of the medical examiner
professional categories; [2500
respondents per survey × 30 minutes
per respondent = 1250 hours].
Observation consent forms—the
estimated total annual burden is 25 to
50 hours for the information collection
based on the following requirement for
statistical significance: (150 medical
examiners + 150 drivers × 5 to 10
minutes per on-site observation = 25 to
50 hours].
Frequency: Each of the described data
collection efforts will occur only once.
Request for Comments
Interested parties are invited to send
comments regarding any aspect of this
information collection, including but
not limited to: (1) The necessity and
utility of the information collection for
the proper performance of the functions
of FMCSA and specifically the conduct
of the Medical Examiner Performance
Study; (2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the collected
information; and (4) ways to minimize
the collection burden without reducing

Comments submitted in response to this
notice will be summarized and included
in the request for OMB’s clearance for
this information collection.
