Abstract: This information collection is being revised due to a NPRM entitled Commercial Driver's License Testing and Commercial Learner's Permit Standards," which would provide uniform procedures for ensuring that the applicant has the appropriate knowledge and skills to operate a commercial motor vehicle. It would also establish the minimum information that must be on the CPL document and the electronic driver's record in CDLIS, and establish maximum issuance and renewal periods for the CLP and CDL.
