SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from
OMB for each IC they conduct, sponsor,
or require through regulations. FMCSA
has determined that it needs to revise
the currently-approved estimate for
OMB Control No. 2126–0009, ‘‘Accident
Recordkeeping Requirements.’’ The
regulation underlying this IC is 49 CFR
390.15, ‘‘Assistance in investigations
and special studies.’’ It requires motor
carriers to make all records and
information pertaining to specified
accidents available to an authorized
representative or special agent of the
FMCSA upon request, or as part of an
inquiry. Interstate motor carriers are
required to maintain an Accident
Register consisting of specified
information about each accident
involving their commercial motor
vehicles. The information for each
accident must include, at a minimum,
the following elements: Date of

accident, city or town in which or most
near where the accident occurred, the
State in which the accident occurred,
driver name, number of injuries,
number of fatalities, and whether
hazardous materials, other than fuel
spilled from the fuel tanks of motor
vehicles involved in the accident, were
released. In addition, the register must
contain copies of all accident reports
required by State or other governmental
entities or insurers. Motor carriers must
maintain the required information in the
Accident Register for 3 years after the
date of the accident.
This IC strengthens FMCSA’s ability
to assess motor carrier safety
performance. These assessments enable
FMCSA to direct its enforcement
resources to the motor carriers with the
weakest safety records, helping those
carriers prevent accidents and reduce
their severity.
On February 8, 2008, OMB approved
FMCSA’s estimate for this IC of 32,040
annual burden hours and established an
expiration date for this IC of February
28, 2011. Today FMCSA announces its
plan to request that OMB approve
revision of this estimate to 22,500
annual burden hours.
Title: Accident Recordkeeping
Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0009.
Type of Request: Revision of an ICR.
Respondents: Motor carriers engaged
in interstate commerce.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
500,000.
Estimated Number of Responses:
75,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 18
minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Expiration Date: February 28, 2011.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
22,500 hours.
Improved FMCSA accident data
provides a more accurate estimate of the
total responses to this information
collection each year: 75,000. The
Agency’s previous estimate was 106,800
responses. FMCSA retains its prior
estimate that a motor carrier requires
approximately 18 minutes, on average,
to complete the tasks necessary to
comply with § 390.15, i.e., collecting the
required information about the accident,
entering it into the Accident Register
and maintaining it and other documents
required by § 390.15. Therefore, the
annual burden hours for all motor
carriers is 22,500 hours (rounded)
(75,000 responses × 18 minutes each
divided by 60 minutes per hour).
Definitions: Each of these definitions
can be found at 49 CFR 390.5: ‘‘Motor
carrier’’: Any person engaged in a
business affecting interstate commerce

who owns or leases a commercial motor
vehicle in connection with that
business, or assigns employees to
operate it. ‘‘Commercial motor vehicle’’:
A self-propelled or towed vehicle used
on the highways in interstate commerce
to transport passengers or property, if
the vehicle—(1) Has a gross vehicle
weight rating or gross combination
weight rating, or gross vehicle weight or
gross combination weight of 10,001
pounds, whichever is greater; or (2) Is
designed or used to transport more than
8 passengers (including the driver) for
compensation; or (3) Is designed or used
to transport more than 15 passengers,
including the driver, and is not used to
transport passengers for compensation;
or (4) Is used in transporting material
found by the Secretary of Transportation
to be hazardous under section 5103 of
title 49, United States Code, and
transported in a quantity requiring
placarding under regulations prescribed
by the Secretary under section 5103.
‘‘Accident’’: An occurrence involving a
Commercial motor vehicle operating on
a highway in interstate or intrastate
commerce which results in: (i) A
fatality; (ii) bodily injury to a person
who, as a result of the injury, receives
medical treatment away from the scene
of the accident; or (iii) one or more
motor vehicles incurring disabling
damage as a result of the accident,
requiring the motor vehicle(s) to be
transported away from the scene by a
tow truck or other motor vehicle. The
term ‘‘accident’’ does not include: (i) An
occurrence involving only boarding or
alighting from a stationary motor
vehicle or (ii) An occurrence involving
only the loading or unloading of cargo.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the performance of
FMCSA’s 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. The Agency will
summarize or include your comments in
the request for OMB’s clearance of this
information collection.

[Docket No. FMCSA–2010–0210]

Agency Information Collection
Activities; Revision of an Approved
Information Collection Request:
Hazardous Materials Safety Permits
AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
SUMMARY: 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
review and approval and invites public
comment. The FMCSA requests
approval to revise an existing ICR
entitled ‘‘Hazardous Materials Safety
Permits,’’ due to an increase in the
estimated number of annual trips in
which permitted hazardous materials
(HM) are transported. This ICR requires
companies holding permits to develop a
communications plan that allows for the
periodic tracking of the shipment. A
record of the communications that
includes the time of the call and
location of the shipment may be kept by
either the driver (e.g., recorded in the
log book) or the company. These records
must be kept, either physically or
electronically, for at least six months at
the company’s principal place of
business or readily available to the
employees at the company’s principal
place of business. This ICR is being
revised due to an increase in the
estimated number of annual trips in
which permitted HM is transported
resulting in change to the total
information collection burden for
maintaining a daily communication
record.
DATES: We must receive your comments
on or before November 8, 2010.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
bearing the Federal Docket Management
System (FDMS) Docket Number
FMCSA–2010–0210 using any of the
