The FHWA is rescinding the notice of
intent to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) on a proposal to
study the relocation of the CSX Railroad
through the six counties of the
Mississippi Gulf Coast—Jackson,
Harrison, Hancock, Greene, Stone, and
Pearl River Counties with logical
termini at the Alabama and Louisiana
State lines.
The purpose of the CSX Study was
three-fold: Identify the best feasible
corridor for relocation of the CSX
Railroad in Mississippi; obtain the
necessary environmental clearances;
and, demonstrate the applicability of
remote sensing technologies to
environmental analysis for
transportation planning projects and
decision making. Of paramount
importance to this effort was the public
participation process.
Federal-aid funds are no longer
available for the proposed action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 on its proposal. Specifically,
the FMCSA requests OMB’s approval to
revise an ICR entitled, ‘‘Training
Certification for Drivers of Longer
Combination Vehicles (LCVs).’’ This ICR
is necessary due to the paperwork
requirement to complete and maintain
training certificates that drivers must

present to prospective employers. These
certificates serve as proof the drivers
have successfully completed sufficient
training to operate LCVs safely on our
Nation’s highways. Motor carriers are
required to maintain a copy of the
training certification in each LCV
driver’s qualification (DQ) file, which
may be reviewed by Federal or State
enforcement officials.

on or before August 27, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 4007(b) of the Motor Carrier
Act of 1991 (Title IV of the Intermodal
Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of
1991 (ISTEA), Pub. L. 102–240, 105 Stat.
1914, 2152; 49 U.S.C. 31307) requires
the Secretary of Transportation to
establish Federal minimum training
requirements for drivers of LCVs. The
responsibility for implementing the
statutory requirement was subsequently
delegated to FMCSA (49 CFR 1.73). The
FMCSA, in a final rule entitled,
‘‘Minimum Training Requirements for
Longer Combination Vehicle (LCV)
Operators and LCV Driver-Instructor
Requirements’’ adopted implementing
regulations for the minimum training
requirements for the operators of LCVs
(see 69 FR 16722; March 30, 2004).
The 2004 final rule created an
information collection burden
concerning the certification of new,
current and non-grandfathered LCV
drivers; grandfathering those current
LCV drivers who are eligible for
certification; and the certification of
LCV driver-instructors. The
implementing regulations define an LCV
as any combination of a truck-tractor
and two or more semi-trailers or trailers,
which operate on the National System
of Interstate and Defense Highways (as
defined in 23 CFR 470.107) with a GVW
greater than 80,000 pounds. The
purpose of this rule is to enhance the
safety of LCV operations on our nation’s
highways.
Drivers are required to present a
training certification form to prospective
employers to prove they are certified to
drive LCVs. Motor carriers must not
allow drivers to operate LCVs without
ensuring the drivers have been properly
trained in accordance with the
requirements under 49 CFR part 380.
The training certification form provides
this assurance. Motor carriers must
maintain a copy of the LCV training
certification form in the driver
qualification file, required by 49 CFR
391.51. Motor carriers responsible for
the operation of LCVs must be able to
show Federal or State enforcement
officials that drivers responsible for
operating such LCVs are certified to do
so, based on the training certificate
located in their DQ files.
Title: Training Certification for
Drivers of Longer Combination Vehicles.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0026.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently-approved information
collection.

Jkt 211001

Respondents: Drivers who have
completed the required LCV training
and driver instructors responsible for
conducting the required LCV training.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,200 drivers who complete the required
LCV training each year; 6 driver
instructors who complete LCV training
must document their qualifications to
train new LCV drivers.
Estimated Time per Response: 10
minutes for LCV drivers; 30 minutes for
LCV instructors.
Expiration Date: June 30, 2007.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 203
hours. The FMCSA estimates that 10
minutes would be needed for newly
certified LCV drivers to fulfill the
information collection requirement,
resulting in an annual information
collection burden of 200 hours [1,200
LCV drivers × 10 minutes/60 minutes =
200 hours]. The estimated annual
burden associated with instructor
certification would be 3 burden hours
[(2 classroom instructors × 10 minutes =
20 minutes) + (4 skills instructors × 15
minutes = 60 minutes) + (6 new
instructors × 15 minute administrative
burden per instructor certification = 90
minutes) = 170 minutes/60 minutes = 3
burden hours].
Definitions: The information
collection requirement for the LCV
training regulations under 49 CFR part
380 are applicable only to drivers of
LCVs, as defined in 49 CFR 380.105.
Section 380.105 defines LCV as any
combination of a truck-tractor and two
or more semi-trailers or trailers, which
operate on the National System of
Interstate and Defense Highways
(defined in 23 CFR 470.107) with a gross
vehicle weight greater than 80,000
pounds.
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 FMCSA’s performance;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways for the 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.
