SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Strategic Highway Safety Plan
(SHSP).
Type of request: New information
collection requirement.
Background: The Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient, Transportation
Equity Act: A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA–LU), 23 U.S.C. 148,
established the Highway Safety
Improvement Program (HSIP) as a core
Federal program. A Strategic Highway
Safety Plan (SHSP) is a major and
mandatory component of the HSIP. A
SHSP is a statewide-coordinated, datadriven, multi-year comprehensive safety
plan coordinated by a State Department
of Transportation. The purpose of the
SHSP is to identify the State’s key safety
needs and guide investment decisions to
achieve significant reductions in
highway fatalities and serious injuries
on all public roads. The SHSP is
developed by each State in a
cooperative process with local, State,
Federal, and private sector engineering,
education, enforcement, and emergency
medical service stakeholders. The SHSP
process allows highway safety programs
in the State to work together in an effort
to align and leverage resources. This
coordination also allows State agencies
to integrate multiple strategic safety
plans, including the Highway Safety
Plan (HSP) and the Commercial Vehicle
Safety Plan (CVSP). FHWA supports
development of SHSPs at the State level
by (1) Providing technical assistance; (2)
conducting education and outreach; (3)
performing and disseminating research
and analysis; (4) developing and
distributing technical tools, and (5)
drafting and disseminating policy and
guidance. The requested information
collection, in the form of an on-line
survey tool, will be used to evaluate the
efficiency and effectiveness of these
activities in supporting the development
and implementation of SHSPs. Survey
respondents will be asked to provide
information about their use and opinion
of FHWA-supplied products and
services to support SHSP development
and implementation as well as their
perspectives on the effectiveness of the
SHSP program overall. Certain survey
respondents will also be asked to

provide feedback on State-level
coordination between the SHSP, the
HSP and the CVSP annual safety plans
required by the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), respectively.
The information will also allow FHWA
to assess the needs of State DOTs for
additional products and services in
support of the SHSP development,
update and implementation processes,
with the ultimate goal of improving
highway safety outcomes across the
nation.
Respondents: We estimate that 153
State-level leads responsible for
development and implementation of the
SHSP, the HSP and the CVSP. In some
cases, an individual may be responsible
for more than one plan.
Frequency: Annually.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Approximately 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: The total burden for this
collection would be approximately 76.5
hours.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended;
and 49 CFR 1.48.
Issued on: July 19, 2011.

this registration program under
authority delegated by the Secretary of
Transportation.

of Registration authority at the FMCSA.
The form requests information on the
foreign motor carrier’s name, address,
U.S. DOT Number, form of business
(e.g., corporation, sole proprietorship,
partnership), locations where the
applicant plans to operate, types of
registration requested (e.g., for-hire
motor carrier, motor private carrier),
insurance, safety certifications,
household goods arbitration
certifications, and compliance
certifications.

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption
Applications; Vision
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of final disposition.
AGENCY:

FMCSA announces its
decision to exempt 16 individuals from
the vision requirement in the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs). The exemptions will enable
these individuals to operate commercial
motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate
commerce without meeting the
prescribed vision standard. The Agency
has concluded that granting these
exemptions will provide a level of safety
that is equivalent to or greater than the
level of safety maintained without the
exemptions for these CMV drivers.
DATES: The exemptions are effective July
22, 2011. The exemptions expire on July
22, 2013.
