SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: On March 28, 2014,
FMCSA published a Supplemental
notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM)
entitled, ‘‘Electronic Logging Devices
and Hours of Service Supporting
Documents,’’ (79 FR 17656), which
proposed to require the use of ELDs by
those within the motor carrier industry

PO 00000

Frm 00086

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

who are currently subject to Records of
Duty Status (RODS) preparation
requirements. Specifically, the final rule
proposed: (1) Requiring new technical
specifications for ELDs that address
statutory requirements; (2) mandating
ELDs for drivers currently using RODS.
To ensure consistency among
manufacturers and devices, functional
specifications were published with the
SNPRM. Providers’ certification of
compliance to these functional
specifications is required. Providers will
also be required to register their
compliant devices with FMCSA.
The ELD providers will be asked to
self-certify and register their devices
with FMCSA online via an application
Form MCSA–5893, ‘‘Electronic Logging
Device (ELD) Vendor Registration and
Certification.’’ FMCSA expects 100% of
respondents to submit their information
electronically. Once completed, FMCSA
will issue a unique identification
number that the provider will embed in
their device(s).
The FMCSA will maintain a list on its
Web site of the current ELD providers
and devices that have been certified (by
the providers) to meet the technical
specifications. The information will be
necessary for fleets and drivers to easily
find a compliant ELD for their use in
meeting the FMCSA regulation
requiring the use of ELDs.
Title: Electronic Logging Device (ELD)
Vendor Registration.
OMB Control Number: 2126–00XX.
Type of Request: New collection.
Respondents: ELD vendors.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
22. FMCSA estimates that there will be
22 respondents, 20 U.S. and 2 foreign
ELD vendors, and that each vendor will
register an average of 4 devices. The
total of 88 devices (4 devices × 22
vendors) exceeds the number of devices
that FMCSA is currently aware of, but
the Agency has opted to use a
conservatively high count in order to
avoid under-estimating the burden for
this ICR.
Estimated Time per Response: 15
minutes first year and 7.5 minutes in
subsequent years. Each vendor will take
an estimated 15 minutes of preparation
time plus 15 minutes per device to
complete the initial registration, for a
total of 75 minutes (15 minutes of
preparation time + 4 devices per vendor
× 15 minutes per device) per vendor in
the first year. In subsequent years, it is
expected that registration updates will
take half the initial time; therefore
respondents will take an estimated 7.5
minutes of preparation time + 4 devices
per vendor × 7.5 minutes per device to
complete registration updates, for a total

28OCN1

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 208 / Tuesday, October 28, 2014 / Notices
of 37.5 minutes per vendor in
subsequent years.
Expiration Date: N/A. This is a new
ICR.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 18
hours [((22 respondents × 75 minutes in
year 1) + (22 respondents × 37.5 minutes
in year 2) + (22 respondents × 37.5
minutes in year 3)) = 3,300 minutes ÷ 60
minutes per hour = 55 ÷ 3 year approval
period = 18.33 hours, rounded to 18
hours].
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.
Issued under the authority of 49 CFR 1.87
on: October 21, 2014.

Associate Administrator for Office of
Research and Information Technology and
Chief Information Officer.
