Agency Information Collection
Activities; Renewal of an Approved
Information Collection: Road Test
Requirement
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
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 its
review and approval and invites public
comment. FMCSA requests approval to
renew the ICR titled ‘‘Road Test
Requirement.’’ This ICR estimates the
information burden incurred by motor
carriers associated with the road test
requirements in two circumstances. The
first is when the motor carrier hires a
new driver. The second is when the
road test is required for individuals
physically qualified under the Agency’s
alternative vision standard for the first
time. In each circumstance, motor
carriers are required to rate the
performance of the driver during the test
on a road test form provided by the
motor carrier. If the road test is
successfully completed, the motor
carrier completes a certificate of driver’s
road test and provides a copy to the
driver. The motor carrier retains the
original signed road test form and the
original, or a copy, of the signed
certificate in the driver qualification
file.

Background
This ICR supports the DOT strategic
goal of safety. Public interest in highway
safety dictates that employers hire
drivers who can safely operate CMVs
amid the various physical and mental
demands of truck and bus driving.
Subject to some exceptions, § 391.31
requires a motor carrier to conduct a
road test when the motor carrier hires a
new driver. The motor carrier is
required to rate the performance of the
driver during the test on a road test form
provided by the motor carrier. If the
road test is successfully completed, the
motor carrier completes a certificate of
driver’s road test and provides a copy to
the driver. The motor carrier retains the
original signed road test form and the
original, or a copy, of the signed
certificate in the driver qualification
file. Motor carriers may maintain the
required road test form and certificate
electronically or via paper copy. The
information collected by the motor
carrier is needed to document the motor
carrier conducted the road test as
required and determined the driver can
operate a CMV safely. The information
also assists Federal and State safety
investigators in determining that motor
carriers fulfilled their regulatory
requirements when deciding who may
drive CMVs on their behalf and in
assessing the qualifications of drivers.
The ICR estimates the informationcollection burden incurred by motor
carriers associated with the § 391.31
road test in two circumstances. The first
is when the road test is required by
§ 391.31 (IC–1); the second is when the
road test is required as part of the
alternative vision standard in § 391.44
(IC–2). However, individuals are
excepted from the road test requirement
if they have 3 years of intrastate or
specific excepted interstate CMV
driving experience with the vision
deficiency, hold a valid Federal vision
exemption, or are medically certified
under § 391.64(b). Most of the motor

carrier burden hours and cost for the
information collection relates to IC–1.
Renewal of This Information Collection
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
The current burden estimate
associated with this ICR, approved by
OMB on March 28, 2022, is 273,888
hours. The expiration date of the current
ICR is March 31, 2025. Through this ICR
renewal, the Agency requests an
increase in the burden hours from
273,888 hours to 584,408 hours. The
increase is the result of an increase in
the estimated driver population as well
as an increase in the expected industry
growth rate for drivers from 2022 to
2032.
