Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 14, 2010 / Notices

Interstate motor carriers are required to
maintain an Accident Register
consisting of specified information
about each accident involving their
commercial motor vehicles. The
information for each accident must
include, at a minimum, the following
elements: Date of accident, city or town
in which or most near where the
accident occurred, the State in which
the accident occurred, driver name,
number of injuries, number of fatalities,
and whether hazardous materials, other
than fuel spilled from the fuel tanks of
motor vehicles involved in the accident,
were released. In addition, the register
must contain copies of all accident
reports required by State or other
governmental entities or insurers. Motor
carriers must maintain the required
information in the Accident Register for
3 years after the date of the accident.
This ICR strengthens FMCSA’s ability
to assess motor carrier safety
performance. These assessments enable
FMCSA to direct its enforcement
resources to the motor carriers with the
weakest safety records, helping those
carriers prevent accidents and reduce
their severity.
On February 8, 2008, OMB approved
FMCSA’s estimate for this ICR of 32,040
annual burden hours and established an
expiration date for this ICR of February
28, 2011. Today, FMCSA announces its
plan to request that OMB approve
revision of this estimate to 22,500
annual burden hours.
Definitions: Each of these definitions
can be found at 49 CFR 390.5: ‘‘Motor
carrier’’: Any person engaged in a
business affecting interstate commerce
who owns or leases a commercial motor
vehicle in connection with that
business, or assigns employees to
operate it. ‘‘Commercial motor vehicle’’:
A self-propelled or towed vehicle used
on the highways in interstate commerce
to transport passengers or property, if
the vehicle—(1) Has a gross vehicle
weight rating or gross combination
weight rating, or gross vehicle weight or
gross combination weight of 10,001
pounds, whichever is greater; or (2) Is
designed or used to transport more than
8 passengers (including the driver) for
compensation; or (3) Is designed or used
to transport more than 15 passengers,
including the driver, and is not used to
transport passengers for compensation;
or (4) Is used in transporting material
found by the Secretary of Transportation
to be hazardous under section 5103 of
title 49, United States Code, and
transported in a quantity requiring
placarding under regulations prescribed
by the Secretary under section 5103.
‘‘Accident’’: an occurrence involving a
commercial motor vehicle operating on

motor vehicles incurring disabling
damage as a result of the accident,

occurrence involving only boarding or
alighting from a stationary motor
vehicle or (ii) an occurrence involving
only the loading or unloading of cargo.

to promulgate regulations governing the
registration of for-hire motor carriers of
regulated commodities (49 U.S.C.
13902), surface transportation freight
forwarders (49 U.S.C. 13903), and
property brokers (49 U.S.C. 13904).
Under 49 U.S.C. 13905(c), each
registration is effective from the date
specified. Section 13905(d) grants the
Secretary the authority to amend or
revoke a registration at the registrant’s
request. On complaint, or on the
Secretary’s own initiative, the Secretary
may also suspend, amend, or revoke any
part of the registration of a motor
carrier, broker, or freight forwarder for
willful failure to comply with the
regulations, an order of the Secretary, or
a condition of its registration.
Form OCE–46 is used by
transportation entities to voluntarily
apply for revocation of their registration
authority in whole or in part. FMCSA
uses the form to seek information
concerning the registrant’s docket
number, name and address, and the
reasons for the revocation request. This
ICR is being revised due to an increase
in the estimated number of annual
respondents from 3,250 to 3,700 along
with a new notarization fee.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
revised information collection request,
including: (1) The necessity and
usefulness of the information collection
for FMCSA to meet its goal in reducing
truck crashes; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burdens; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, usefulness, and clarity of
the collected information; and (4) ways
to minimize the collection burden
without reducing the quality of the
collected information. The agency will
summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
