support Daimler field tests designed to
meet future vehicle safety and
environmental requirements and to
develop improved safety and emission
technologies. According to Daimler, Mr.
Zeilinger will typically drive for no
more than 6 hours per day for 2
consecutive days, and 10 percent of the
test driving will be on two-lane State
highways, while 90 percent will be on
interstate highways. The driving will
consist of no more than 200 miles per
day, for a total of 400 miles during a
two-day period on a quarterly basis. He
will in all cases be accompanied by a
holder of a U.S. CDL who is familiar
with the routes to be traveled. Daimler
requests that the exemption cover the
maximum allowable duration of 5 years.
Daimler has explained in prior
exemption requests that the German
knowledge and skills tests and training
program ensure that Daimler’s drivers
operating under the exemption will
achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to, or greater than, the level
of safety obtained by complying with
the U.S. requirement for a CDL.
IV. Method To Ensure an Equivalent or
Greater Level of Safety
FMCSA has previously determined
that the process for obtaining a German
commercial license is comparable to, or
as effective as, the requirements of part
383, and adequately assesses the
driver’s ability to operate CMVs in the
U.S. Since 2012, FMCSA has granted
Daimler drivers similar exemptions
[May 25, 2012 (77 FR 31422); July 22,
2014 (79 FR 42626); March 27, 2015 (80

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
registers for-hire motor carriers of
regulated commodities under 49 U.S.C.
13902, surface freight forwarders under
49 U.S.C. 13903, and property brokers
under 49 U.S.C. 13904. Each registration
is effective from the date specified
under 49 U.S.C. 13905(c).
Subsection (d) of 49 U.S.C. 13905 also
provides that on application of the
registrant, the Secretary may amend or
revoke a registration. Form OCE–46
allows these transportation entities to
apply voluntarily for revocation of their
registration (operating rights) or parts
thereof. If the transportation entity fails
to maintain evidence of the required
level of insurance coverage on file with
FMCSA, its registration (operating
authority) will be revoked involuntarily.
Although the effect of both types of
revocation is the same, some carriers
prefer to request voluntary revocation.
For various business reasons, a carrier
may request revocation of some part, but
not all, of its operating authority.
This information collection supports
the DOT Strategic Goal of Safety by
enabling motor carriers to voluntarily
request revocation of operating
authority, or some part of that authority,
by identifying themselves to the
FMCSA.
A completed Form OCE–46 is filed
with FMCSA by the registrant for the
purpose of requesting that all, or a part,
of its registration be revoked. The
information contained on the form is
used by the FMCSA in making a
determination on the revocation request.
The use of Form OCE–46 has proven to
be an easy and effective means by which
a registrant can request revocation of its
registration.
Form OCE–46 is filed by registrants
on a voluntary, and for the most part,
one-time basis. It calls for a very limited
amount of information to identify the
registrant and the scope of its request.
Thus, the information collection itself

E:\FR\FM\22MRN1.SGM

22MRN1

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 22, 2017 / Notices
has not been automated, although the
information collected is ultimately
entered into an automated data base.
Eighty five percent (85%) of the Form
OCE–46 filings are submitted
electronically to FMCSA. This ICR is
being revised due to an anticipated
increase in the estimated number of
annual filings from 3,000 to 3,501 and
to account for the cost of notarizing and
mailing Form OCE–46.
Title: Request for Revocation of
Authority Granted.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0018.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: For-hire motor carriers
of regulated commodities, surface
freight forwarders, and property brokers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,501.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.25
hours.
Expiration Date: July 31, 2017.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 875
hours [3,501 responses × 0.25 hour =
875].
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Title 49 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 390.15(b), requires
motor carriers to make certain specified
records and information pertaining to
CMV accidents available to an
authorized representative or special
agent of the FMCSA upon request or as
part of an inquiry. Motor carriers are
required to maintain an ‘‘accident
register’’ consisting of information
concerning all ‘‘accidents’’ involving
their CMVs (49 CFR 390.15(b)(see
‘‘Definition: Accident’’ below). The
following information must be recorded
for each accident: Date, location, driver
name, number of injuries, number of
fatalities, and whether certain
dangerous hazardous materials were
released. In addition, the motor carrier
must maintain copies of all accident
reports required by insurers or
governmental entities. Motor carriers
must maintain this information for three
years after the date of the accident.
Section 390.15 does not require motor
carriers to submit any information or
records to FMCSA or any other party.
This ICR supports the DOT strategic
goal of safety. By requiring motor
carriers to gather and record information
concerning CMV accidents, FMCSA is
strengthening its ability to assess the
safety performance of motor carriers.
This information is a valuable resource
in Agency initiatives to prevent, and
reduce the severity of, CMV crashes.
The Agency increases its estimate
from 26,700 to 36,157 burden hours.
The regulation has not changed; the
increase in burden hours does not
